NYPD Head Says Minorities Will Suffer If Stop-Frisk Ruling Stands (Video)

Police Commissioner Raymond Kelly says minority communities would be “the losers” under a federal judge’s order to change the New York Police Department’s  stop and frisk practices. The judge found the stops have systematically discriminated against blacks and Hispanics.

During an appearance Sunday on CBS’ ”Face the Nation,” Kelly argued that stop and frisk saves lives. He notes that 97 percent of shooting victims are black or Hispanic, and he reasons those saved have the same demographics.

Kelly also was interviewed on ABC News’ ”This Week with George Stephanopoulos” and NBC’s “Meet the Press.”

Kelly also raised questions about the court’s order to test outfitting officers with tiny video cameras.

He suggests cameras could be problematic when police respond to domestic arguments or when someone wants to provide confidential information.

One-Handed H.S. Player Zach Hodskins Offered A Roster Spot At U of Florida (Video)

190 pound 6-4 guard out of Georgia, Zach Hodskins has just recieved an offer from the University Of Florida to play basketball.

This wouldn’t be major news if it wasn’t for Hodskin’s birth defect. He was does not have a left arm below his elbow.

The birth defect might have limited other people, but Hodskins never made excuses for himself, and he quickly rose through the amateur ranks of high school basketball. Possessing excellent range from beyond the arc, he helped lead Georgia high school powerhouse, Alpharetta Milton School. After an admirable AAU summer tour with the Tennessee Playmakers, Hodskins showed enough skills that he appears headed for Division I roster soon.

The offer is that of a walk on position, but that’s a major accomplishment still. Lets see if his skill can help him make the Gators squad.

Washington D.C. AAU Coach Faces Cocaine And Heroin Charges

 

One of the most powerful talent brokers in AAU basketball faces federal drug charges after a yearlong Drug Enforcement Agency sting operation, according to documents filed in the District of Columbia on Monday.

 

D.C. Assault president and co-founder Curtis Malone was arrested at his home Friday, where DEA agents say they found one kilo of cocaine, 100 grams of suspected heroin, a handgun, and unnamed items associated with heroin sales.

 

The investigation and arrest included the use of an informant and a wiretap. Malone faces charges of conspiracy to distribute 100 grams or more of heroin and 500 or more grams of cocaine.

 

In 1991, Malone was convicted for distributing crack cocaine, but he had appeared to reform in the years since, founding and establishing D.C. Assault as one of the most high-profile AAU programs in the country.

 

Notable alumni include former Georgetown star Jeff Green, Kansas State All-American Michael Beasley, Syracuse forward Kris Joseph and former Duke star Nolan Smith. Malone, Smith’s stepfather, helped raise Smith following the sudden death of Smith’s father, former NBA player Derek Smith, in 1996.

 

Malone could not be reached for comment Monday afternoon.

Earlier today we posted a piece about Oprah Winfrey facing racism while shopping in Switzerland. According to Oprah, she was shopping in the country she stopped by a boutique Trois Pommes and asked to see a Alligator skinned Tom Ford purse. The attendant was to have told her no and that she the piece was too expensive and that she would be embarrassed.

Oprah left not making a big deal about it.

The shop has said that Oprah’s account of what happened wasn’t true.

“I would never say something like that to a customer. Really never,” the unidentified Italian woman told Switzerland’s SonntagsBlick newspaper Sunday, according to a translation from London’s Daily Mail.

 

“I don’t know why she is making these accusations. She is so powerful and I am just a shop girl,” added the shop attendant, who has worked at the posh Trois Pommes shop for five years.

 

“I don’t know why someone as great as her must cannibalize me on TV.”

Winfrey, with a personal fortune estimated by Forbes at $2.8 billion, left without buying the handbag.

Though Winfrey didn’t reveal the name of the establishment, the interview caused a national uproar in Switzerland when a local paper revealed the shop. The European nation’s official tourism office condemning the attendant’s conduct as “”terribly wrong.”
