MISSION HILLS — A case of mistaken identity led to a family of five, headed on a camping trip, being frisked on the 405 Freeway and placed in handcuffs. Los Angeles Police Department officials came across the family’s white van around 5:45 a.m.
The altercation took place on Martin Luther King Junior Way South in Seattle. The tape begins as the officer appears to be trying to arrest one of the girls for jaywalking. You see the point .10 the lady in pink break away from a man holding her, get between the officer and lady in the black jacket and…push the officer (point .13) The officer then punch the lady in pink. I’m not going to ask, Who Was Wrong? My question is, why do we disrespect policemen and feel like we can push them around like they have no authority? Meanwhile there is a man with a cellphones making video of the scene, he follows the policeman and the woman keeping distance of around 6 feet, I’m surprised the officer didn’t feel threatened by this (not knowing if it was a gun). I also noticed the lady in pink, got her ass out the way! What is your opinion on this? Will Obama make a speech like he did with Gates and Crowley?
Both girls, ages 19 and 17, were eventually cuffed and booked on suspicion of obstructing an officer. The one who was punched was checked out by medics and deemed to be OK. I wonder if she will push another policeman again?

Alvin Greene, 32, didn’t raise any money. He didn’t have a website. And his opponent was a relatively better-known former legislator, Vic Rawl, who was already preparing for the general election. Greene was considered such a long shot that his opponent and media didn’t even bother to check his background. If they had, they would have discovered he faces a felony obscenity charge after an alleged encounter with a college student last fall. After The Associated Press reported Greene’s charge Wednesday, the leader of the state Democratic party said she asked Greene to withdraw from the race.
Court records show Greene was arrested in November and charged with showing obscene Internet photos to a University of South Carolina student, then talking about going to her room at a university dorm. Charged with disseminating, procuring or promoting obscenity, Greene could face up to five years in prison. He has yet to enter a plea or be indicted. South Carolina state law prohibits convicted felons from serving in state office. Felons can serve in federal office, although the U.S. House or Senate could vote to expel any member deemed unfit to serve. Camille McCoy, a 19-year-old rising sophomore at the University of South Carolina, said she called campus police after Greene sat down next to her in a computer lab and asked her to look at his screen, which showed a pornographic website.
Rep. James Clyburn (D-S.C.) is suggesting that the circumstances of Alvin Greene’s victory in the South Carolina Democratic Senate primary Tuesday are suspicious and should be investigated by the U.S. Attorney’s office. Questions immediately arose about the legitimacy of Greene’s candidacy. While Greene insists he is the real deal, Clyburn, a high-ranking Democrat from South Carolina, is still skeptical. “There were some real shenanigans going on in the South Carolina primary,” Clyburn said. “I don’t know if he was a Republican plant; he was someone’s plant.” Clyburn said the U.S. Attorney’s office should investigate whether a third party gave Greene the money for the $10,400 filing fee, a violation of federal campaign finance laws.
In the middle of a speech on Wednesday, Chavez began singing a little tune with lyrics that translate to, “I’m not loved by Hillary Clinton… and I don’t love her either.”
Obama delivered the commencement speech at a Michigan high school’s graduation ceremony. One member of the Kalamazoo Central student choir sitting behind the president felt the effect of Obama’s boring speech and had a trouble staying awake. The boy’s eyes droop and his head rolls forward until his chin rests on his chest, he has nodded off.
