THE MEDIA IN THIS COUNTRY IS FUCKING AMAZING! HERE WE HAVE A NEGRO PRTENDING TO BE THE POLICE, PULLING OVER WHITE MOTORISTS AND MURDERING THEM AND NOT A SINGLE FUCKING WORD ABOUT RACE!!! THE MAKE AN INTERNATIONAL STORY AND LIE THEIR ASSES OFF ABOUT THE HOODED THUG ASSHOLE TRAYVON MARTIN BEING SHOT….BUT NO OUTRAGE ABOUT THIS!!!

JACKSON, Miss.— Police have arrested a suspect in two fatal highway shootings in Mississippi that prompted warnings a fake officer might be pulling over victims.
Authorities said early Friday that the fears of an impostor turned out to be unfounded. Mississippi Department of Public Safety spokesman Warren Strain told The Associated Press that the suspect, James D. Willie, 28, had not been posing as a police officer in the shootings.
Willie was being held on charges of kidnapping, aggravated assault and rape and would be formally charged with two counts of capital murder, Strain said. He was being held at the Tunica County jail in north Mississippi.
Willie was arrested Tuesday morning when authorities responded to a disturbance at an apartment. Tunica police found Willie with a woman who claimed he had raped her, a news release said. When Willie was arrested, authorities found a 9mm Ruger in his possession. Ballistic testing later found that it was the same gun used in the two highway shootings, authorities said.
Strain said Willie is a convicted felon, but he did not have details about his previous arrests.
Thomas Schlender, 74, of Raymond, Neb., was found dead in his car on Interstate 55 in Panola County on May 8 around 1:30 a.m. Lori Anne Carswell, 48, of Hernando, Miss. was found dead near her car on Mississippi Highway 713 in nearby Tunica County about 2:15 a.m. on May 11.
Strain said authorities developed several theories during the investigation and one of those was that someone could be posing as an officer to pull people over because there was no apparent reason for the victims to pull over.

George Zimmerman Update

During witness testimony the state called the experts to get them on the record. An FBI expert found crucial evidence in the Trayvon Martin case was inconclusive, saying it was impossible to tell if the voice screaming for help belonged to the black Florida teenager or his shooter George Zimmerman just before the neighborhood watch captain pulled the trigger. A Forensics Doctor that treated and did the autopsy stated that Trayvon Martin had marijuana in his system. He was shot through the heart at close range. George Zimmerman had a broken nose, bruises and bloody cuts on the back of his head. The evidence supports Zimmerman's contention that he was being beat up when he fired the fatal shot. These are among the details revealed in nearly 200 pages of documents, photos and audio recordings that were released Thursday in a case that has riveted the nation. Yet it's still unclear what exactly happened and whether it was racially motivated.

Lodge 7 files a grievance

The union that represents rank-and-file Chicago police officers has filed a grievance over the department’s plans to pay overtime to thousands of cops who work this weekend for the NATO summit, saying by contract that officers should also be given an option of taking time due instead.
The Fraternal Order of Police, on its web site, contends the department is violating its collective bargaining agreement by mandating only overtime for officers working this weekend and not also offering days off as compensation.

A spokeswoman for the Chicago Police Department was not immediately available for comment on the FOP grievance.

The union said it has received a lot of complaints from officers that the department has printed new overtime slips that already have the “money” box checked. The FOP said is recommending that any officers who wish to be compensated with days off to cross out the money box on the slip and check the “time” box.

Earlier this week, police Superintendent Garry McCarthy acknowledged that canceling days off for the entire department—from Friday through Monday—would be costly but help the department provide security for the NATO summit downtown as well as continue to fight crime in the neighborhoods.

Sarge's silver Chevrons awarded to the U.S. Secret Service Uniform officer

An Evergreen Park motorist was charged today after a hit-and-run crash that left a 24-year-old woman critically injured near Grant Park this week.
Carl J. Miller, 54, of the 8700 block of South Mozart Street, was charged with felony leaving the scene of an accident involving injury or death, failure to reduce speed to avoid an accident, striking a pedestrian in the roadway, operating a vehicle without insurance and failure to report an accident, according to a statement from police News Affairs.

The woman was walking in the 500 block of South Lake Shore Drive around 8 a.m. Wednesday when she was hit by a maroon car, according to Officer John Mirabelli, a police spokesman.

A Secret Service agent stopped the car Miller was driving at 200 E. Jackson Blvd., notified Chicago police and waited for officers to arrive, according to a spokesman for the agency. The agent is assigned to the uniformed division of the Secret Service, but it was not known whether he was in uniform.

The victim was in critical condition as of Thursday afternoon, according to Officer Veejay Zala, a police spokesman.

The woman was taken to Northwestern Memorial Hospital, according to Fire Department spokesman Will Knight.

The car sustained “severe” windshield damage, according to Central District Police Lt. Richard Guerrero.

Protester's lawyer up after C.P.D. raided a house

Officers wearing Chicago Police uniforms raided an apartment in Bridgeport late Wednesday and detained at least eight activists without justification, lawyers working on behalf of NATO protesters alleged today.

Police refused to provide any details about the alleged raid or whether they were detaining people.

Police Superintendent Garry McCarthy was asked about the allegation after announcing at a news conference this afternoon that there had been “zero arrests, as far as protest activity today.”

Asked about the Bridgeport incident, McCarthy said only that there was an “inquiry” authorities were looking into and he would have to gather further information before commenting.

An hour later, his spokeswoman declined to answer any questions about the situation.

A spokesman for the National Lawyers Guild, which represents protesters, said lawyers were speaking with some of those detained at a police facility at 3340 W. Fillmore St. on the West Side.

“The Chicago Police Department has basically disappeared as many as eight activists,” said Kris Hermes, a spokesman for the National Lawyers Guild, adding “There’s absolutely no evidence of wrongdoing.”

Hermes declined to release the names of those detained. He said the NLG had been speaking with police leaders throughout the day Thursday, and that they denied anyone was being held.

Witnesses who alleged they were detained at the scene before being released said police broke down doors in an apartment building near 32nd and Morgan Streets at 11 p.m., and searched the units while refusing to show the occupants a search warrant, said Sarah Gelsomino, an attorney with the lawyers guild.

The officers then left but returned with a warrant that witnesses claimed was not signed, she said.

When police detained the people, they also seized parts of a beer-making kit, including bottles and caps, and a cell phone, Gelsomino said.

Zoe Sigman, an Occupy activist who said she lives in the building, appeared at the lawyers guild news conference to speak about the incident.

Sigman said she was returning home Wednesday evening when she bumped into a neighbor coming down the block in the other direction who told her police were at the building.

She denied anything illegal was happening in the apartment where a number of Occupy Chicago protesters had been staying for two weeks leading up to this weekend’s NATO summit.

“I know that for a fact,” she said. “It was just a home base. It was a place for people to eat and get some sleep.”

Donna Summer dead at Age 68

Donna Summer was born on New Year's Eve 1948 in the Dorchester neighborhood of Boston, Massachusetts.She was pronounced dead on May 17, 2012,of lung cancer. She was one of seven children raised by devout Christian parents. Influenced by Mahalia Jackson, Summer began singing in the church at a young age. In her teens, she formed several musical groups including one with her sister and a cousin, imitating Motown girl groups such as The Supremes and Martha and the Vandellas in Boston.
In the late 1960s, Summer was influenced by Janis Joplin after listening to her albums as a member of Big Brother and the Holding Company, and dropped out of school convinced that music was her way out of Boston, where she had always felt herself to be an outsider, even among her own family who ridiculed her for her voice and her looks. She joined the psychedelic rock group the Crow as lead singer, but the group was short-lived as they split upon their arrival in New York. In 1968, Summer auditioned for a role in the Broadway musical, Hair, but she lost the part of Sheila to Melba Moore. When the musical moved to Europe, Summer was offered the role. She took it and moved to Germany for several years. While in Germany, where she learned to speak German fluently, she participated in the musicals Ich Bin Ich (the German version of The Me Nobody Knows), Godspell and Show Boat. After settling in Munich, she began performing in several ensembles including the Viennese Folk Opera and also sang as a member of the pop group FamilyTree (created by the German music producer Guenter "Yogi" Lauke). She joined the group in 1973 and toured with them throughout Europe.^{[citation needed]}
She also sang as a studio session singer and in theaters. In 1971, while still using her birth name Donna Gaines, she released her first single, a cover of "Sally Go 'Round the Roses", though it was not a hit. In 1972, she married Austrian actor Helmuth Sommer and gave birth to their daughter Mimi Sommer in 1973. Citing marital problems caused by her affair with German artist (and future live-in boyfriend) Peter Mühldorfer, she divorced Helmuth but kept his last name, anglicising it to 'Summer'. She also worked on an album with keyboardist/producer Veit Marvos in 1972, providing backing vocals on his Ariola records release Nice To See You (where she was credited under the pseudonym Gayn Pierre). Several single releases over the years have included a young Donna performing with the group, even though she often denied ever singing on any of the Marvos releases. The name 'Gayn Pierre' was also used by Donna whilst performing in 'Godspell' with Helmuth Sommer during 1972.^{[citation needed]}
