…I can’t finish the headline because I can’t figure out the PC rules that apply.
If it’s ok for President Obama to say it, then why isn’t it ok for CBS (or anyone else) to transcribe it ?

We first heard about this last week amid chatter in social media, and thanks to a link from Nivico it is now apparently confirmed – Tamir Rice’s mom, Samaria Rice, has fired Benjamin Crump as the family attorney in Cleveland.
From a local CLEVELAND article:
[…] Before the rally, Samaria Rice told Northeast Ohio Media Group that she is no longer being represented by attorneys Benjamin Crump and Walter Madison. She dropped Crump and Madison last week and retained New York lawyers Jonathan Abady and Earl Ward, her third pair of lawyers since Tamir was killed.
“I wanted to make sure Tamir’s interests were put first,” she said. “I want the best representation for Tamir and myself. I needed to be able to sleep comfortably at night without wondering if someone was making decisions without my knowledge.”
DALLAS (CBSDFW.COM) – A hip hop concert at The House of Blues led to a massive brawl in downtown Dallas Sunday night.
We are responding to a large crowd disturbance. It is an ongoing situation.

This evening, the Dallas Police Department unleashed crowd control support after fights broke out over cheap tickets. Artist J. Cole had initially offered a surprise $1 concert during his “Dollar And A Dream”.

Police say that over 600 took to the streets — a few involved in physical altercations — causing part of the area to shut down until further notice. Street closures include Lamar, Houston, and Victory streets (more…)
CHARLESTON, S.C. (WCIV) — A Confederate monument at White Point Gardens was vandalized with graffiti.
The graffiti was discovered Sunday morning as thousands gathered downtown to honor the victims killed at Emanuel AME Church.
The words ‘Black Lives Matter’ and ‘This was the problem #racist’ is spray painted on the base. The vandals also called out Mayor Joe Riley and Governor Nikki Haley scrawling “Riley and Haley -Why defend this evil -This the root of our evil.”
A couple of local men moved quickly to cover the base with a tarp but it was just as quickly uncovered by other passers-by.
A lively debate soon followed, attracting Barry Tighe from the organization Code Pink. He wrote up his own sign that read “Take down racist statues” and it was followed by a local protester’s sign that read “All lives matter #CharlestonUnited.” (more…)
The New York Times and the Daily Mail are both reporting the South Carolina mass murderer Dylann Roof wrote a 2,500 word manifesto on a website called TheLastRhodesian.com. There are also pictures on the website reported to show Dylann Root burning and spitting on U.S. flags.
I have visited the site and read his nonsense, however I have not verified the pictures are there, nor viewed the content of those pictures, because it requires a zip.file download to view them and I’m not downloading sketchy content based on the NYT or Daily Mail.
We’ll take their word for it, or if you want to see it yourself you can here.
What immediately jumps out, noted in both pictures and words, is that Dylann Roof has an almost identical set of racial values as Valdosta State University flag burner and similarly self-proclaimed racist, Eric Sheppard Jr.
Root and Sheppard are the mirror image of each other. One is white, the other is black, but their ideology about race is as identical as it is diametrically opposite.
Eric Sheppard Jr. also produced a manifesto last month, and a video diatribe, which was sent to, and published by, the Valdosta Daily Times when Sheppard was on the run from law enforcement.
Previously the Valdosta Daily Times printed the full Sheppard Manifesto.
In order to compare views from both Roof and Sheppard for yourself, and not read the manifesto through the prism of the presenting media ideology describing it, here is Dylan Roof’s Manifesto in full – you can compare Sheppard to Roof. (more…)
Well, well, well – what do you know, FEMA gets it right. The taxpayers are spared from having to bail out Baltimore’s inept leadership. Almost immediately: “the wheels on the bus go whaa – whaa – whaa”… Up next: “FEMA is racist”.
BALTIMORE – The Federal Emergency Management Agency has denied a state request for disaster aid to cover the costs associated with the rioting and unrest that broke out in Baltimore after the death of Freddie Gray.
W. Craig Fugate, FEMA’s administrator, wrote in a June 12 letter to Gov. Larry Hogan that federal disaster aid was “not appropriate” for such an event.
“Therefore, I must inform you that your request for a major disaster declaration is denied,” Fugate wrote.
Spokeswoman Erin Montgomery said Friday that the Hogan administration “is reviewing FEMA’s response and will make a determination about the appropriate next steps, including a possible appeal.” (more…)
Unbeknownst to Thomas Roberts the organizer of the crowd he describes as “just showing up” was apparently Glenn Beck.
There may have been a time when a discussion about racial issues was possible, but that window of opportunity quickly passed when the professional left decided to double down on division with a professional community organizer.
The professionally black have a vested ideological and financial interest in the retention of grievance. No amount of discussion will overcome or quench the institutional need to be perpetually aggrieved. (Apropos photo-credit Charleston, SC via CBS)
We can agree the shooting in Charleston South Carolina was a hate crime; we can even concede that it might be called terrorism – but that will never change the inherent one-sided nature of the conversation.
Call it whatever you want to call it. Hate Crimes, domestic racial terrorism, it really doesn’t matter. If the labels apply for a white person to intentionally kill a black person solely due to the color of their skin. Then what exactly is this: (more…)
Earlier this week the professionally aggrieved began a campaign against the Louisville Kentucky police department after a deranged man attacked a police officer with a flag pole, and was shot and killed.
The professional agitators began using the same antagonistic activist messaging, “F**k the Police”, as previously used in Ferguson, Saint Louis, Baltimore, Madison, New York, Charlottesville and McKinney, Texas.
The Louisville Kentucky police have had enough. They pen an open letter to the public:
Cincinnati Ohio – Videos showing a chaotic scene between guests and police last week at the Fairfield Aquatic Center continue to fuel debate over what happened before and during the confrontation that led to four arrests and allegations of officers exhibiting excessive use of force. (Original report video below)
Police arrested two adults — Krystal Dixon and Maya Dixon — and two children on charges of disorderly conduct and resisting arrest after a large fight June 9 at the city-owned pool on Augusta Boulevard. They said the four refused to leave.
Attorney Clyde Bennett, who represented both women at their arraignment Wednesday, said his clients did nothing wrong and that charges against them should be dismissed.
Both women have faced charges of disorderly conduct and/or resisting arrest in other courts, according to records obtained by the Journal-News. (more…)
