Survived Car Crash. Killed By Cop. (UPDATED)

In the aftermath of the mistrial after the jury failed to reach a verdict in the case of Randall Kerrick, the former Charlotte-Meckenberg police officer who shot and killed 24-year-old Jonathan Ferrell in September 2013, you will inevitably hear law enforcement experts providing explanations about why the jury did not vote to convict Kerrick and possibly send him to prison for 11 years. Many of these experts will be current and former police officers. This is what you need to know about these “experts.”

What's the history of "resisting arrest" as a crime? I can only imagine the circumstances in which this "crime" originated.

Navajo Kindergartner Sent Home First Day of School For Having Long Hair

By Toyacoyah Brown on August 28, 2014

“Malachi was excited to start school all summer long. After we had enrolled him he was excited, everyday it was the question, ‘mom are we going to school?’” said Malachi’s mother, April Wilson.

Excited about his first day of school, Malachi walked into the doors of F.J. Young Elementary only to be told he couldn’t attend because his hair was too long.

Never mind that their mascot has long hair! And the town they live in is also named after the Seminole Indians. Watch more of the story from CBS 7 News:

My son has long hair. Most people assume he is a girl. One white kid kicked him for no reason when they were in a jumpy house. The mother pulled her son out quick tho.

Parents sometimes ask me why I have his hair long, like I need to give them a reason.

Cop Drags Mentally Ill Woman by Her Ankle Down a Flight of Stairs

WOOSTER, OH — A now-former Sheriff’s Deputy has resigned following a horrific scene from his body cam showing him drag a mentally ill woman down a flight of stairs by her ankle.

The woman can be heard screaming in pain and agony on the footage.

The cop continues to drag her by her ankle into a puddle on the concrete, soaking her head in filthy water.

Deputy Ryan Peterman has “resigned” now that the footage has been reviewed and released to the public.
