I missed this on Fox News. Had the local news not investigated, the victim would be in prison:

I certainly hope that there is not a cleric in this country as outspoken as this guy is in London.

I've read stuff by this Choudary guy before. He's a piece of shit but also something of an Al Sharpton type. Loves appearing on tv. I'm not sure he's entirely genuine and that makes him less scary than the guys who preach hate and keep a very low profile.

JD- Excellent video. It would be nice if one of our resident 'the-police-are-never-wrong' conservatives could address it.

New video footage from Cleveland shows police tackling Tamir Rice's 14-year-old sister as she tried to come to her mortally wounded brother's aid. They threw her in the back of a police cruiser as her 12-year-old brother bled out on the sidewalk. Also threatened to arrest the children's mother when she too tried to approach Tamir.

The Cleveland PD tried to prevent this full video from being released.

Tell the truth, part of the reason you posted that was b/c you wanted to use the phrase "bleed out", wasn't it?

From the same article:

"Wages remained a problem, however, as average hourly earnings for all employees on private nonfarm payrolls fell by 5 cents to $24.57, following an increase of 6 cents in November, the Labor Department reported. Over the year, average hourly earnings have risen by just 1.7%, well below the 3% rate economists say is healthy."

"While labor markets appear to be healing based on the steady decline in the headline unemployment rate, other labor market indicators suggest a slower recovery for many U.S. workers.

For instance, average hourly wages have been essentially stagnant for months, a factor that has kept inflation running well below the Fed’s target rate of 2%. Wages have emerged as perhaps the key indicator being watched by economists to determine when the Fed might start raising interest rates.

During the past year, average hourly earnings have hovered well below the 3%-3.5% rate the Fed views as necessary to keep inflation at its desired 2% target rate."

Watch: NYPD Officer, Thinking Fellow Cop Is a Suspect, Kicks Him in the Head

http://www.theroot.com/articles/culture ... c=obinsite

The undercover New York City Police Department officer, while helping a uniformed colleague make an arrest, was kicked by another plainclothes officer who mistook him for the suspect.

A plainclothes New York City police officer kicked his undercover colleague in the head with a force that reverberated through a video taken by a professional photographer who shot the footage after he happened upon the scene after stepping off a train, DNAinfo New York reports.

The plainclothes officer apparently mistook his colleague for a suspect, delivering the blow as soon as he walked up on the scene, the video obtained by the news site shows.

According to DNAinfo New York’s report, the unidentified officer responsible for the kick, who is from the 60th Precinct in Brooklyn, was stripped of his gun and badge and put on modified duty. The incident is under investigation by the Internal Affairs Bureau as well as the Brooklyn District Attorney’s Office.

The incident took place sometime in January, officials told the news site, inside Coney Island’s Stillwell Avenue station, but the footage has just been released.

A uniformed officer and an undercover officer started talking with a suspect before struggling with him to the ground in an attempt to arrest him. Suddenly, more officers (mostly in uniform) began to flood the station before one plainclothes officer in jeans, sweatshirt and boots walked in, looked down and delivered the kick to his colleague’s head.

The plainclothes kicker then began to join in on detaining the suspect before realizing the mistake he’d made and rubbing his colleague’s head. He then turned back to the accused fare beater, punching him several times in the face.

According to DNAinfo New York, the New York City Police Department has refused to identify the suspect, who pleaded guilty to a reduced charge. Authorities have since sealed the case.

Everybody knows the drill whenever this happens. The first order of business is to strive mightily to convince everybody that this has nothing to do with Islam. If that is unsuccessful, Plan B is to try to convince Christianity is even worse.
