Deputy Paul Schene Has Some Serious Issues For Beating Up A 15-Yr. Old Juvenile Detainee!


As you can see in this video,a 15-yr. old girl gets beaten & thrown around like a rag doll by Seattle cops.Deputy Paul Schene is the one that pulls the girl by her hair & hurls her to the floor!Now,they say that we don't know their side of the story.They say the teenager was mouthing off & kicked off her shoe in the officer's direction.But,I didn't see the girl doing anything threatening to either cop.I don't give a damn what this child said.Police officers need to learn that they are no different than the rest of us.Too many of them feel that they have license to do anything to a person they intepret as being disrespectful towards them.They know good & freakin' well that their lives were not endangered.Tempers flared & these cops went ballistic!And I think these two "men" are nothing but mere cowards!Heads should roll over this one!Here's more from ABC News:

"A King County sheriff's deputy kicks a 15-year-old girl, slams her to the floor of a jail cell, strikes her and pulls her hair in violence captured on videotape.Prosecutors released the surveillance video Friday in the assault case against Deputy Paul Schene, who is accused of using excessive force on the girl. Schene, 31, pleaded not guilty to fourth-degree assault in Superior Court on Thursday.

The incident last November began after the girl was brought in for an auto theft investigation, according to court documents. The footage shows the attack beginning after the girl enters the cell at suburban SeaTac City Hall and kicks off one of her shoes toward the deputy.

"We believe this case is beyond just police misconduct, it's criminal misconduct," King County Prosecutor Daniel Satterberg said. "This is clearly excessive force."Schene was investigated previously for shooting two people — killing one — in the line of duty in 2002 and 2006. Both times his actions were found to be justified, said Ian Goodhew, prosecutor's deputy chief of staff.

Calls by The Associated Press to Schene's lawyer, Anne Bremner, were not immediately returned Friday. Bremner, however, released a statement to the Seattle Post-Intelligencer in which she said the video does not tell the whole story. Bremner had asked Judge Catherine Shaffer not to release the video to the media.

"As we argued to the judge, it will inflame public opinion and will severely impact the deputy's right to a fair trial," Bremner said."(END OF EXCERPT)Read the rest here.

Somali President Says Sharia Law In Somalia Will Not Be Strict!



Could this message by Al Qaeda be the reason behind Somali president Sheikh Sharif Sheikh Ahmed's decision to allow a less strict version of sharia law in Somalia?Here's more from BBC:

" The 25-minute audio recording, titled "From Kabul to Mogadishu," focuses primarily on the "important developments" in Somalia, which al-Zawahiri called "a step on the path of victory of Islam."

CNN cannot authenticate the message, which was released on Sunday and was interspersed with television news reports and statements from various al Qaeda-linked commanders. CNN analysts who listened to the recording say the voice is consistent with his intonation and accent.

This is the third message from al-Zawahiri espousing the views of the al Qaeda terror network in 2009; the other two focused on Israel's recent military operation against Hamas leaders in Gaza.

In addition to Somalia, al-Zawahiri also addresses the situations in Yemen, Gaza, and Afghanistan and Pakistan.

Al-Zawahiri praised Al-Shabaab fighters in Somalia who recently seized control of Baidoa, where the U.N.-backed transitional government had been based. He warned the newly installed government, under President Sheikh Sharif Sheikh Ahmed, not to squander those gains by submitting "to American demands" and not abiding by sharia, or Islamic law.

"I call on my Muslim brothers in beloved Somalia ... to not be deceived by those who agree to the secularist constitutions which vie with the sharia in its right to rule," he said."(END OF EXCERPT)Read the rest here.

Here's more on the new president of Somalia's decision to allow sharia law there from CNN:

" Somali President Sheikh Sharif Sheikh Ahmed said Saturday he will give in to a rebel demand that he impose Islamic law, or sharia, in an effort to halt fighting between Somali forces and Islamic insurgents.
However, Ahmed told a news conference he won't agree to a strict interpretation of the law, which forbids girls from attending school, requires veils for women and beards for men, and bans music and television.

The president, speaking at his palace in the capital, Mogadishu, said local elders and religious leaders, acting as liaisons with the militants, brought him a message saying the rebels wanted a truce in the two-year-old fighting. He also asked African peacekeepers to stand down.

Ahmed, who was elected January 31, said he would ask the AU contingent to leave once there is a solid political solution to the conflict.

More than 40,000 Somalis have returned to abandoned neighborhoods in Mogadishu over the past six weeks, despite some of the heaviest fighting in months, the U.N. High Commissioner for Refugees said Friday."(END OF EXCERPT)Read the rest here.

Sometime's A Mother's Kiss Can Be Deadly!


A newborn baby is one of the loveliest sights that your eyes could ever behold.Your heart just surges with so much love & affection for this helpless little being.It's hard not to hold them.And it's especially hard not to kiss them.But, in one case, a mother's innocent kiss may have become the kiss of death.Here's more from Sky News:

"A mother whose baby girl died shortly after her birth has told Sky News she was devastated to learn she may have passed on a deadly infection to her daughter through kisses.Ruth Schofield's baby Jennifer was just 11 days old when her vital organs failed and she died in hospital.

She had been infected by Herpes Simplex Virus (HSV) passed on by her mother, Ruth, either by kissing or breastfeeding, an inquest was told.

Miss Schofield told Sky News she did not have the words to describe the shock of her new-born daughter's death.

"It was soul destroying," she said.

"I don't want any family to have to go through the devastation I have."

Lancaster coroner Dr James Adeley said Miss Schofield, 35, of Lancaster, probably caught HSV in the late stages of pregnancy.

But he said no-one could be blamed for failing to identify the virus and recorded a narrative verdict.

Miss Schofield had felt ill with flu-like symptoms a few days before giving birth to Jennifer in November 2006. She was then treated by her GP for a number of mouth ulcers.

Her daughter subsequently became unwell and died in Lancaster Royal Infirmary the following month.

Miss Schofield said she was campaigning to raise awareness of the condition, which is said to kill six babies a year in the UK."(END OF EXCERPT)Read the rest here.
