While at the United Nations, stumping for
international action on ISIS, President Barack Obama used the
killing of Michael Brown in Ferguson, Missouri, as an example of
“racial and ethnic tensions” within our own country. It’s also
an example of what happens when your governmental authority is just
too powerful and unaccountable, but funny how that doesn’t come
up.- Meanwhile in Ferguson, there’s
more unrest and anger over burned memorial to Brown. - Also meanwhile, in Algeria, a militant group linked to ISIS has
beheaded a French hostage to punish France for participating in
airstrikes in Iraq. - A grand jury in Ohio has
declined to indict officers who fatally shot a man inside a
Walmart store who had been holding an air rifle he apparently
picked up from a shelf in the store. The feds plan to
investigate. - U.S. drones have killed
10 people in northern Pakistan, allegedly militants. Or there
were at least militants “among” them. - A federal judge sentenced six current and former members of the
Los Angeles Sheriff’s Department to prison for
obstructing investigations into abuses at the jail. The judge
told the defendants that “blind obedience to a corrupt culture has
serious consequences.” - The “Situation” for
Jersey Shore‘s Mike Sorrentino is that he and his
brother have been charged with tax fraud.
