Officer Jason Van Dyke Given $1.5 Million Bail

The officer who shot Laquan McDonald 16 times, 13 of which were when the teen was already down, has been given a bail of $1.5 million.

SMH…how come when someone kills a black kid they automatically get a bail??? George Zimmerman anyone???

USA Today reports:

A judge set bail at $1.5 million for the Chicago police officer charged with first-degree murder for fatally shooting 17-year-old Laquan McDonald.

Officer Jason Van Dyke has been in jail since Tuesday after prosecutors charged him with the Oct. 20, 2014, shooting of McDonald. Also on Tuesday, the city released dashcam video that shows the teen, who is black, being shot by Van Dyke, who is white.

Protesters took to Chicago streets for several days after the video release and the announcement of the charges.

Judge Donald Panarese, Jr. noted before setting the $1.5 million on Monday that Van Dyke is presumed innocent.

Daniel Herbert, Van Dyke’s attorney, argued that Van Dyke is no threat to the public and should be given a reasonable bond.

Van Dyke appeared in court on Tuesday for a bond hearing, but prosecutors did not present the judge with the dashcam video.

Panarese ordered lawyers to return back to court on Monday afternoon, so he could he could decide on bail after viewing the video.

SMH…really??? How long before this murderous cop makes bail???

What do YOU think about Officer Jason Van Dyke being given bail for the Laquan McDoanld shooting???

We See You Vol. 8: CNN Disgustingly Described Freddie Gray As “The Son Of An Illiterate Heroin Addict” For No Good Reason

CNN Disrespects Freddie Gray

CNN has been really disappointing in a lot of the ways they’ve covered police brutality in this country and today is no different. In an article about the trial of the officers accused of murdering Freddie Gray, writers Ann O’Neill and Aaron Cooper used these words to describe the victim:

The April 19 death of Freddie Gray, the son of an illiterate heroin addict, made him a symbol of the black community’s distrust of police. His name is now invoked with those of Michael Brown in Ferguson, Missouri; Tamir Rice in Cleveland, Ohio; Eric Garner in New York; and other black men who died during encounters with white police officers. In Gray’s case, three of the officers charged are white; three black.

“The son of an illiterate heroin addict”

The. Son. Of. An. Illiterate. Heroin. Addict.

Like, that’s how they chose to introduce him. Not Freddie Gray “innocent victim” or anything like that. Nope. “Son of an illiterate heroin addict.” How does this have any relevance to the case? What in the hell is the point? It’s another way to vilify and demean the life of a Black person in this country. It’s absurd that this was written and approved by an editor. Shame on you, CNN. Way to put the person who was killed on trial. This is racist victim-blaming at its worst.

And, as always, we’re not the only people to notice the racism.

Elsewhere In The World: Distrusting Fisherman Buried Life Savings Eaten By Worms

Poor Wu Chen

Chinese Fisherman Has Buried Life Savings Eaten By Worms

Let this be a lesson to all you wannabe hustlers with money stashed in your shoe box…

Via Yahoo! UK

A pensioner who didn’t trust his local bank to look after his life savings chose to bury the money in the ground – only for most of it to be eaten by worms.

Poor Wu Chen, 67, stashed the cash in a carrier bag five years ago, feeling sure it would be safe.

But when he recently came to make a withdrawal he found that insects had been feasting on his funds and there wasn’t a lot left.

Mr Chen didn’t tell anyone when he squirreled away the 35,000 RMB (£3,627) in a plastic bag, placing it in a hole in Deyang, in south-west China’s Sichuan Province.

He said: “It was my pension fund payment and all of the savings I’ve had from working as a fisherman all my life.”

That’s a sad way to lose what amounts to about $5,000 in U.S. dollars. Shoulda put the money in a real safe, playa!

Considering that one of the most outrageous moments in sports history took place when the “Malice In The Palace” popped off and Ron Artest, Stephen Jackson and Jermaine O’Neal whopped some fans’ azzes in Detroit, Pistons’ baller Reggie Jackson might want to cool his jets.

The hostile point guard has been fined $25,000 by the league office for telling a fan to “suck my d***, you b!tc#azz n***a”. The incident was caught on a cell phone camera and uploaded to the internet by an attendee sitting nearby.

Hawaiian Ukulele Player From “Shallow Hal” Dies”

This is so sad.

According to TMZ reports:

Joshua Shintani — best known from his cameo in “Shallow Hal” has died at the age of 32 … TMZ has learned.

Joshua’s mother says she took him to an emergency room early last week on Kauai, and doctors discovered he was battling an advanced case of pneumonia. Joshua died on Wednesday.

He had became a local legend in his native Hawaii after landing the memorable scene with Jack Black … where Joshua strummed a ukulele and played, “Never Forget Where I’m From.”

Peter Farrelly was on vacation in Hawaii when he discovered Joshua, a high school senior at the time, strumming his uke outside a public library. He signed him up for the movie on the spot.

‘Hal’ was the only movie Joshua ever did.

A rep for the Farrelly brothers tell us Joshua, “had a soul that glowed like a lighthouse. We feel honored to have known him.”

Our thoughts and prayers go out to his loved ones.

Pink Slippin’: Chicago Police Superintendent Garry McCarthy Dimissed After Laquan McDonald Footage Release

Chicago Police Superintendent Garry McCarthy Fired By Mayor Rahm Emanuel

The citizens of Chicago have suffered for years under the lack of leadership from their former police superintendent, Garry McCarthy. While the public trust has been eroding for quite some time, the release of dashcam footage of the murder of Laquan McDonald was the blood-soaked straw that broke the Chicagoan camel’s back.

According to the Chicago-Tribune, Mayor Rahm Emanuel had to take action…

Mayor Rahm Emanuel on Tuesday announced he has dismissed Chicago police Superintendent Garry McCarthy, citing a lack of public trust in the police leadership in the wake of the high-profile shooting that eventually led to a white officer being charged with first-degree murder in the death of a black teen shot 16 times in a Southwest Side street last year.

“Superintendent McCarthy knows that a police officer is only as effective as when he has the trust of those he serves,” Emanuel said at a City Hall news conference where he appointed a task force to look at police accountability.

Emanuel said he and McCarthy on Sunday began discussing the future of the Police Department and “the undeniable fact that the public trust in the leadership of the department has been shaken and eroded.”

“This morning, I formally asked for his resignation,” said Emanuel, who said McCarthy can be proud of his record. “Now is the time for fresh eyes and new leadership to confront the challenges the department and our community and our city are facing as we go forward.”

Mayor Emanuel says that there will be a “thorough” search for a new superintendent who is capable of rebuilding the trust of the people.

Did Olivia Culpo Dump Tim Tebow For Not Having Sex With Her?

A rumor is currently swirling about virgin baller Tim Tebow concerning his “broken” relationship with Miss Universe Olivia Culpo.

According to multiple reports the beauty queen/Nick Jonas’ ex decided to dump the free agent because she “couldn’t handle” not having sex with her boy toy.

The New York Daily News reports:

Confidenti@l is told the QB’s model squeeze Olivia Culpo has dumped him after a two-month relationship – because he won’t have sex with her.

The former Miss USA, who was first reported to be seeing Tebow in early October, has told friends that she can’t deal with the famously abstinent star’s nookie-less lifestyle.

“He was really into her,” a source close to the model told us, “he was sending her love letters and cute notes and professing his love for her.”

Alas, Culpo took a knee.

“She had to break up with him because she just couldn’t handle it,” said our insider, “He still hits her up, but she just can’t deal with the sex thing. He’s pretty adamant about it, I guess.”

But wait, did Tebow really get dumped for not smashing his beauty queen boo???
