Report Finds NY Police Abusive To George Floyd Protesters.

Leave a comment

According to a report released on Monday, an independent New York City police review board has recommended that the NYPD discipline scores of officers for excessive use of force and other alleged misbehavior during protests following the 2020 murder of George Floyd.

Among the complaints, officers were found to have used batons and pepper spray on peaceful protesters in 140 instances. Dozens of allegations of abuse of authority, including officers refusing to identify themselves, concealing their badges and making false or misleading statements, were also substantiated, the report by Civilian Complaint Review Board (CCRB) said.

More than 600, or 43%, of misconduct allegations were closed after officers could not be identified, raising a big obstacle in the board’s review, the report said.

“This report shows why the NYPD cannot continue to have a monopoly on discipline,” Molly Biklen, deputy legal director at the New York Civil Liberties Union, said in a statement. “When New Yorkers took to the streets calling for racial justice in 2020, the NYPD responded with violence.”

Thousands of protesters flooded New York streets for weeks in demonstrations against police brutality days after Floyd, a Black man accused of passing a counterfeit $20 bill, died when a white Minneapolis police officer pinned his neck to the ground with a knee for several minutes in May 2020. Smaller-scale protests continued into early fall.

The New York Police Department (NYPD) objected to many of the report’s findings, saying less than 15% of all allegations were substantiated. In a statement, it accused the board of exaggerating the extent of any misconduct, saying it involved less than 1% of 22,000 officers deployed during the protests.

The less that 15% substantiation rate of allegations against officers confirms “that the NYPD’s response to the protests during the summer of 2020 was largely professional, commendable, and responsive to the unique circumstances that were present at the time,” NYPD Acting Deputy Commissioner Carrie Talansky said in a statement.

Hundreds of officers were injured and the department had already implemented many of the 17 policy changes recommended by the board, NYPD said.

“Protests against police brutality bred more instances of police misconduct,” CCRB Interim Chair Arva Rice said in the report. “If this misconduct goes unaddressed, it will never be reformed.”

Of the 146 officers cited by the report, 89 of them should face internal charges, which can result in termination. The board recommended discipline, which can include the loss of vacation days, for the other 57 officers.

The board, composed of 15 members appointed by the mayor, city council and police commissioner, has the power to conduct administrative prosecutions, but the commissioner has final say over any discipline

Kanye West Returns, Takes Aim At Personal Trainer, Says He Was “Mentally Misdiagnosed”

Leave a comment

Just like that, Kanye West is back on Twitter. It was speculated that the Yeezy mogul would soon reappear on the micro-blogging platform after receiving a temporary ban. West has been on the outs with social media outlets as of late due to his incendiary remarks about the Jewish community. His comments and posts have been labeled as anti-Semitic, causing a wave of fallout in his business ventures. It was recently estimated that in one day, West lost $2 billion in deals.

Both lucrative ventures Adidas and The Gap have parted ways with Ye, but the”cancelation” reach went far. Soon, some brands issued statements declaring they would no longer include West’s music, like Peleton. On Apple Music, fans noticed that the ever-popular “Essentials Playlist” for Kanye West had been removed.

Kanye’s response to his scandal has been overall confusing. He may sit for an interview where he triples down on his pro-White Lives Matter, anti-BLM, anti-Semitic rhetoric one day, before dishing out apologies with the paparazzi the next. Some feared that with Elon Musk at the helm of Twitter, Ye would make a grand return—and it’s safe to say that they were correct

For hours, West has been steadily sharing tweets that have quickly stolen attention. He paid tribute to the late Takeoff in two posts before showing his support for Kyrie Irving. The Nets baller has been in the crosshairs of his own controversy after publicly approving of a film that boasts anti-Semitic talking points. Recently, Irving issued an apology.

In a tweet where he shared Irving’s recent run-in with the press, West added, “JOHN 19:19 ‘And Pilate wrote a title, and put it on the cross. And the writing was,
JESUS OF NAZARETH THE KING OF THE JEWS.’” In another, he added, “I’m taking a 30 day cleanse A verbal fast No alcohol No adult films No intercourse In god we praise Amen But my Twitter still lit.”

West also took aim at his former personal trainer, Harley Pasternak, who cut ties with the rapper within the last few weeks. Texts between the two men appeared on Twitter and in them, Pasternak seemed to be arguing with West about his claim to Jewish heritage as well as threatening that Ye could be institutionalized and medicated again.

It was here that Ye write: “What should be obvious by now is that I was raised to stand for my truth regardless of the consequences So I will say this again I was mentally misdiagnosed and nearly drugged out of my mind to make me a manageable will behaved celebrity.”

Check out some screenshots below and be prepared for much more from Kanye West on Twitter.

Kanye West left his son Saint’s soccer game on Monday after getting involved in a heated argument with the parent of another one of the players. In a video of the incident obtained by TMZ, an animated West can be seen flailing his arms around in frustration with another attendee.

A few minutes after the altercation, West returned to the crowd having cooled off, and watched the rest of the game without incident

Kim Kardashian was also at the event and could be seen sitting off to the side in a lawn chair surrounded by security. It’s been reported that Kim and Kanye aren’t talking after West’s recent behavior, which included wearing a “White Lives Matter” shirt to their daughter North’s basketball game.

The incident comes as West has been suspended from Instagram for the next 30 days. Meta confirmed the restriction on Ye’s account in a statement provided to Complex on Monday.

“We deleted content from @kanyewest for violating our policies and placed a restriction on the account,” a Meta spokesperson said via email. “We may place restrictions on accounts that repeatedly break our rules, for example, we may temporarily restrict them from posting, commenting, or sending DMs.”

After being restricted on Instagram, earlier this month, Ye infamously threatened to go “death con 3” on Jewish people on Twitter.

While he’s off Instagram once again, West has spoken about his desire to purchase Parler in recent weeks, however, after losing out on numerous brand deals, his net worth has dropped from $2 billion down to $400 million, according to Forbes.

Kanye West’s Adidas Termination: What’s Next For The Yeezy Brand.

Leave a comment
Advertisements

Less than two months ago, we examined the relationship between Kanye West and Adidas. At the time of our deep dive, Kanye was engaged in an all-out social media assault against the German company. Every single day, he was going to his Instagram account, yelling into the void and telling us why we needed to support him in his mission to get out of his Adidas deal.

Ye made some very interesting claims about the brand, noting that they were releasing Yeezy silhouettes and colorways without his permission. The legendary artist felt as though he had no more control over the Yeezy name, and that Adidas was ultimately ruining his vision. Ye spoke of oversaturation, breach of intellectual property, and a lack of ownership over his own work. His goal was to take Yeezy back for himself and transform the brand into what he always wanted it to be. Given recent events, however, that goal might be impossible to achieve.

Thanks to a seemingly endless news cycle of antisemitism, bigotry, and promotion of white supremacy, Kanye was dropped by Adidas. In addition to this, he was dropped by his agency, Jaylen Brown and Aaron Donald left Donda Sports, and his Donda Doves were banned from a tournament.

Ye has left his legacy in shambles. At this point, there are very few people left in his inner circle. Those who do stick by him, simply do so because he’s buying their failed social media platforms. Despite all of this, he got what he wanted. His Adidas deal has been terminated.

As the saying goes: be careful what you wish for. Unfortunately for Kanye, losing his Adidas deal means he is no longer a billionaire, and it also means that he will need to rebuild the Yeezy brand from scratch. When Adidas announced it was cutting ties with Ye, they revealed that they owned every single Yeezy design, except for the Adidas Yeezy Foam Runner. This means that Adidas is allowed to sell Yeezy sneakers without the Yeezy branding. As it turns out, that is exactly what they plan to do. More importantly, it also means that Kanye cannot release these designs independently. If he does, he opens himself up to a massive lawsuit, and Adidas has the money to litigate him out of the building.

Moving forward, if Kanye wants to continue the Yeezy name, he will have to come out with a ton of new designs, which isn’t easy. This will be a gradual process, and given the damage he has done to his reputation, he might not even be able to get distribution on these shoes. Without Adidas, he will now have to find his own assembly lines, his own warehouses, his own shipping company, and most importantly, he’ll have to regain the trust of his fans.

After making inflammatory comments about George Floyd while also wanting to go “Defcon 3” on Jewish people, it should be noted that people just don’t want to buy what Ye’s selling. Sure, there are some people who will still support him no matter what, but he’s done irreparable damage to himself. It will be infinitely harder for him to sell his shoes moving forward, and without the backing of a major company, Ye could be in trouble. Whether it be through Adidas, Nike, GAP, or Balenciaga, Kanye has always had a huge brand to give him resources. It’s likely he will never have those resources again, which puts Kanye in new territory. He doesn’t have the credibility he once did, and as a result, Yeezy is in for a long period of hibernation.

In today’s world, social media chews you up and spits you out fast. If your music isn’t good, you’re discarded. If you don’t release tracks fast enough, people forget about you. If your brand stops producing goods, people move on to new brands and new products. This means Kanye has to get Yeezy up and running immediately, and there is simply no infrastructure for him to do so.

Now, this is Kanye we are talking about here so maybe we are completely wrong. It is completely feasible that he has something up his sleeve here. He’s proven people wrong before, and he could most certainly do it again. It’s just that this time seems different. From the white supremacist t-shirts to the Fox News appearances to the antisemitism, it feels like Kanye really has “done it this time.”

If you’re a sneakerhead and you still want your Yeezy fix, you’ll be happy to know that Adidas is going to continue releasing the classics. From the Adidas Yeezy 750 to the Adidas Yeezy 700 “Wave Runner,” Ye and Adidas gave us some truly amazing sneakers. Despite all that’s happened, it’s nice to see that these designs won’t just die out.

As for Ye, the path to redemption will be a long and arduous one. While he has delivered some forced apologies here and there, he is showing no signs of toning down his rhetoric. Until he does, there is very little hope for a Yeezy resurgence.

Consequence showed his support of Kanye West on Wednesday (October 26) while calling out Talib Kweli for criticizing the rapper over his recent Drink Champs appearance. During the interview, Ye blamed George Floyd’s death on fentanyl and made several antisemitic remarks.

Taking to Twitter, Cons fired off several posts about Ye’s current circumstance. It has been a tense few weeks for the Rap mogul as he finds his business dealings falling, one after another. “I’ve stood with YE for 20 years and have always had his back,” Consequence wrote.

He continued, “He trust me more than ANYBODY. Part of that is seeing things for what they are. Whether G.O.O.D. or Bad. Then from there making sure WE are moving in the right direction. I said what I said…”

“It’s Talib Kweli Day on my IG Page today,” Cons added in another post. “Ima FRY THIS BITCH ASS N***A.”

“This clown ass n***a Talib Kweli writing Encyclopedias in my comment section on IG,” he wrote in another tweet before adding, “N***a mad about YE interview on @drinkchamps. Was at Chris Rock + Dave Chappelle telling me he don’t want No Smoke with YE but then wanna be an Internet Thug in the comments. Maybe that’s what got you Banned from Twitter dummy.”

From there, Consequence shared a screenshot of an email invite he received to appear on Kweli’s podcast, People’s Party.

Kweli issued a response by writing: “So wait @constv you see racist trolls trying to weaponize you against me and instead of calling that bullshit out, you falsely accuse me of ‘internet thuggin’ all because I stated that I’m not frightened of you? That tells me that your goal was to frighten me. Let’s be clear. I’m not scared of you at all. Nobody is.”

Kanye West Claims Jay-Z Intervened During Drake-Diddy Altercation.

Kanye West’s press run continues as his talent agency CAA and Adidas distance themselves from him. This week, the Yeezy founder sat down with Lex Fridman for an in-depth interview that covered everything from his recent anti-Semitic remarks, his presidential campaign, Yeezy brand, and, of course, Drake.

(How you can make money 🤑🤑💰 online free)

At one point, Ye reflected on the Yeezy season 1 runway show and dropped previously unknown details about an alleged altercation between Drake and Diddy. While it’s no secret that there has been tension between the two in the past, namely over the “0-100” beat, Kanye alleged that the two got into a little bit of a tussle before Jay-Z intervened.

“This fashion show was so popular that Justin Bieber had to sit in the second row, right?” he said. “This thing had every name you could think of — it had Kim Kardashian, Kris Jenner, Kendall Jenner. It was Kylie’s first fashion show … You had JAY-Z in the audience, Rihanna in the audience, Beyoncé in the audience, sitting next to Anna Wintour.”

“You had Puff Daddy. At that time, Puff Daddy had beef with Drake. Drake still came to the show and JAY-Z had to break up the fight backstage,” he continued. However, he didn’t provide any further details regarding the incident.

The known confrontation between Drake and Diddy reportedly took place at Club LIV in Miami during DJ Khaled’s birthday celebration. Diddy denied that it ever got physical but the two did end up making amends three months after the Yeezy season 1 runway show in May 2015.

It seems unlikely that Diddy, Drake or Hov will corroborate Ye’s story anytime soon. We’ll keep you posted if any of the parties involved chime in on the matter.

Jaden Smith made his feelings clear after Kanye West wore a White Lives Matter jumper during his Yeezy fashion show.

The Praise God rapper made headlines with his controversial outfit while unveiling his SZN9 collection at Paris Fashion Week on Monday night, appearing in a black sweatshirt with the huge slogan.

The 45-year-old then told the audience, made up of some of the biggest names in the industry, of his struggles in the past – however, Jaden wasn’t interested and decided to make a quick exit.

Taking to Twitter after the show, the son of Will Smith and Jada Pinkett Smith, shared his thoughts on the scenes, while also highlighting the Black Lives Matter movement.

‘I Had To Dip Lol,’ he penned. ‘True Leaders Lead.

‘I Don’t Care Who’s It Is If I Don’t Feel The Message I’m Out.

‘Black Lives Matter.’

The 24-year-old continued: ‘We Demand A More Progressive Future.’

In a now-deleted post, via the Independent, he is thought to have added: ‘I can’t stand behind what Kanye’s saying, he does not have the full support of the youth.’

At the show, Kanye, who now goes by the name Ye, reflected on his experiences in the fashion world and described himself as a ‘leader’.

‘I am Ye, and everyone here knows that I am the leader. You can’t manage me,’ he told the audience.

‘I don’t want any of y’all to talk to me about pain. I remember when me and Matt Williams were styling Rihanna 14 years ago. But tonight let’s just celebrate, let’s just enjoy this new frontier. 

‘Fashion has a tendency to be extremely classist. To say if you weren’t pretty enough, have money, or weren’t born into money or weren’t scamming, that you can’t afford this cut.’

Ye has been criticized for his comments regarding the Black community in the past and was famously forced to apologize for a rant in 2018, when he said that African American slavery was a ‘choice’.

Following the SZN9 show, the dad-of-four stirred up more fury when he was spotted with Trump activist and conservative political commentator Candace Owens, who also wore a White Lives Matter jumper.

The message is a spin on the BLM movement which highlights racism and discrimination, as well as amplifying voices in the Black community.

Patrick Lyoya death: Black man shot in head by Michigan police.

ABlack man facedown on the ground was fatally shot in the back of the head by a Michigan police officer, the violent climax of a traffic stop, brief foot chase and struggle over a stun gun, according to videos of the April 4 encounter.

Patrick Lyoya, 26, was killed outside a house in Grand Rapids. The white officer repeatedly ordered Lyoya to “let go” of his Taser, at one point demanding: “Drop the Taser!”

Citing a need for transparency, the city’s new police chief, Eric Winstrom, on Wednesday released four videos, including critical footage of the shooting recorded by a passenger in Lyoya’s car on that rainy morning.

————————————–

“I view it as a tragedy. … It was a progression of sadness for me,” said Winstrom, a former high-ranking Chicago police commander who became Grand Rapids chief in March. The city of about 200,000 people is about 150 miles (240 kilometers) northwest of Detroit.

Video shows Lyoya running from the officer who stopped him for driving with a license plate that didn’t belong to the vehicle. They struggled in front of several homes while Lyoya’s passenger got out and watched.

Winstrom said the fight over the Taser lasted about 90 seconds. In the final moments, the officer was on top of Lyoya, kneeling on his back at times to subdue him.

“From my view of the video, Taser was deployed twice. Taser did not make contact,” Winstrom told reporters. “And Mr. Lyoya was shot in the head. However, that’s the only information that I have.”

State police are investigating. Kent County’s chief medical examiner, Dr. Stephen Cohle, said he completed the autopsy but toxicology tests weren’t finished.

The traffic stop was tense from the start. The video shows Lyoya, a native of Congo, getting out of the car before the officer approached. He ordered Lyoya to get back in the vehicle, but the man declined.

The officer asked him if he spoke English and demanded his driver’s license. The foot chase began soon after, the video shows.

Winstrom didn’t identify the officer, a seven-year veteran, is on paid leave during the investigation.

“Me being from Chicago for the last 20 years, I’ve handled many police shootings myself, so I do have a lot of experience in this,” the chief said. “I was hoping to never have to utilize that experience here.”

The video was collected from Lyoya’s passenger, the officer’s body camera, the officer’s patrol car and a doorbell camera. Prosecutor Chris Becker, who will decide whether any charges are warranted, objected to the release but said Winstrom could act on his own.

Becker said the public shouldn’t expect a quick decision.

“While the videos released today are an important piece of evidence, they are not all of the evidence,” he said.

The officer’s body camera was turned off before the shooting, which happens when a button is pushed for three seconds, Winstrom said. He said it appears it was deactivated unintentionally due to body pressure during the struggle, but he would not discuss any official statements about it.

“That will come out once the investigation’s complete,” Winstrom said.

City Manager Mark Washington warned that the videos would lead to “expressions of shock, of anger and of pain.” Several hundred protesters gathered outside the Grand Rapids Police Department following the release of the videos, with some cursing and shouting from behind barricades. The group demanded that officials make public the officer’s name in the shooting.

Some businesses closed early Wednesday. Some boarded-up windows. But the demonstration remained nonviolent.

Lyoya had two young daughters and five siblings, said Gov. Gretchen Whitmer, who spoke to his family.

“He arrived in the United States as a refugee with his family fleeing violence. He had his whole life ahead of him,” Whitmer, a Democrat, said.

Prominent civil rights attorney Ben Crump, speaking on behalf of Lyoya’s family, on Wednesday called for the officer to be fired and prosecuted.

“The video clearly shows that this was an unnecessary, excessive, and fatal use of force against an unarmed Black man who was confused by the encounter and terrified for his life,” Crump said in a release.

“It should be noted that Patrick never used violence against this officer even though the officer used violence against him in several instances for what was a misdemeanor traffic stop,” he added.

Crump and Lyoya’s family were expected to hold a news conference Thursday afternoon.

Winstrom last week said he met Lyoya’s father, Peter Lyoya, and that they both cried.

“I get it as a father. … It’s just heart-wrenching,” the chief told WOOD-TV.

As in many U.S. cities, Grand Rapids police have been occasionally criticized over the use of force, particularly against Black people, who make up 18% of the population.

In November, the Michigan Supreme Court heard arguments in a lawsuit over the practice of photographing and fingerprinting people who were never charged with a crime. Grand Rapids said the policy changed in 2015.

A downtown street has been designated Breonna Taylor Way, named for the Black woman and Grand Rapids native who was killed by police in Louisville, Kentucky, during a botched drug raid in 2020.
