Philadelphia Police Beating Video

2008-05-07T10:14:00.000-03:00

Police in Philadelphia is investigating a video showing several officers kicking and beating three suspects pulled from a car during a traffic stop.

The scenes were filmed by a TV helicopter crew of local network WTXF-TV on Monday.

Video shows three police cars stopping another car on the street. It happened two days after an officer was shot dead during a bank robbery.

In video more than 10 policemen gather around the car and pull out the suspects. Some of the officers hold two of the men down on the ground.

Both are kicked and beaten repeatedly, the third man is punched and also falls to the ground.

The city's police commissioner said that the video "certainly does not look good", but did not want to "rush to judgment".

Police said that suspects were involved in shooting before.

Philadelphia officers have been on edge since Saturday, when an officer was shot during a bank robbery, one of the robbers was shot by police, another one arrested, but the third still hasn't been found.

The policeman was the third one killed on duty in the last two years.

An attorney for one of the men said he did not know what preceded the traffic stop in the city's Hunting Park neighborhood, but that the video showed an unjustified police beating. He also said that police would charge all three suspects with aggravated assault.

San Diego State Drug Bust (SDSU drug bust)

2008-05-07T05:59:00.000-03:00

75 of San Diego State University students were arrested after a sweeping drug investigation found that some fraternity members openly dealt drugs and one even sent a mass text message advertising cocaine, authorities said Tuesday.
96 people were arrested.
Two kilograms of cocaine were seized, along with 350 Ecstasy pills, marijuana, psychedelic mushrooms, hash oil, methamphetamine, illicit prescription drugs, several guns and at least $60,000 in cash.

Eighteen of the students were arrested Tuesday when nine search warrants were executed at various locations including fraternities, said Jesse Rodriguez, San Diego County assistant district attorney.

The undercover probe, dubbed Operation Sudden Fall, was sparked by the cocaine overdose death of a student in May 2007, authorities said. As the investigation continued, another student, from Mesa College, died Feb. 26 of a cocaine overdose at an SDSU fraternity house, the DEA said.

Those arrested included a student who was about to receive a criminal justice degree and another who was to receive a master's degree in homeland security.

"A sad commentary is that when one of these individuals was arrested, they inquired as (to) whether or not his arrest and incarceration would have an effect on him becoming a federal law enforcement officer," said Ralph Partridge, special agent in charge of the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration in San Diego.

San Diego State is one of the largest schools in California's state university system with about 34,000 students. The campus has an active network of fraternities and sororities.

Miley Cyrus Vanity Fair Photo Shoot

2008-04-28T12:55:00.001-03:00

Miley Cyrus has apologized ahead of appearing semi-naked in the next issue of Vanity Fair magazine.

Pop star Miley Cyrus said she was "embarrassed" after seeing the images taken by celebrity photographer Annie Leibovitz.

The Disney Channel said "a situation was created to deliberately manipulate a 15-year-old in order to sell magazines" but the US magazine defended the images and added that "everyone thought it was a beautiful and natural portrait of Miley".

The photographs include images of the teenager wrapped in what appears to be a satin bed sheet, looking over her shoulder with her back exposed.

They will appear alongside an interview with Cyrus and her father, singer Billy Ray Cyrus.

"I took part in a photo shoot that was supposed to be 'artistic' and now, seeing the photographs and reading the story, I feel so embarrassed," Miss Cyrus said.

"I never intended for any of this to happen and I apologize to my fans who I care so deeply about."

But when the images were released by Vanity Fair last week, Cyrus said: "I think it's really artsy.

"It wasn't in a skanky way. Annie took, like, a beautiful shot, and I thought that was really cool. That's what she wanted me to do, and you can't say no to Annie."

A spokesman for The Disney Channel, which airs the Hannah Montana TV show, said: "Unfortunately, as the article suggests, a situation was created to deliberately manipulate a 15-year-old in order to sell magazines."

AP:
A man in Amstetten, Austria confessed about imprisoning his daughter for 24 years in a windowless cell with soundproof door.
Josef Fritzl, now 73, held his daughter captive since 1984. The daughter Elisabeth Fritzl, who is now 42, was found by police on Saturday after police received a tip.

The cell had electronic entry system and was made of solid reinforced concrete. Rooms were at most 5 feet 6 inches feet high. The area had a TV and small hot plates for cooking.

Police say: "He admitted that he locked his daughter, who was 18 at the time, in the cellar, that he repeatedly had sex with her, and that he is the father of her seven children,".

Suspect's wife had no idea of these events and was devastated.

One of the neighbors said: "They appeared normal, just like any other family, I'm totally shocked, this was next door. It's terrible."

Elisabeth Fritzl told police that her father began sexually abusing her when she was 11. In 1984, he handcuffed her and locked her in the cellar.

Associated Press writes:
JONESVILLE, S.C. — A pastor from South Carolina says he is not trying to be political by posting a sign in front of his church in which he links Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama with al-Qaida leader Osama bin Laden.

Pastor Roger Byrd said he just wanted to make people think when he put up a sign reading "Obama, Osama — humm, are they brothers" in front of the Jonesville Church of God on Thursday. He doesn't believe that Obama is Christian.

Obama who is indeed a Christian, regularly attends Trinity United Church of Christ in Chicago. Although 15 percent of respondents to a recent Associated Press-Yahoo News poll said they thought that the Illinois senator actually is Muslim.

WYFF-TV reported Monday that Byrd is not going to take the sign down. He insisted that it is a unanimous vote of his congregation to keep it.

This church is part of the Church of God, a Pentecostal denomination based in Cleveland, Tennessee.

Jonesville itself is a small town of about 1,000 people in northwestern South Carolina.

UPDATE:

The next day Byrd removed the sign because it received so much negative comments from throughout the country. Now the sign is aimed against smokers.
