Restaurant Worker “Tenderizing” Meat by Slamming it on Dirty Sidewalk – Video

It happened at a Chinese restaurant in San Francisco. It happened at a Chinese restaurant I will not be going to anytime soon.

The video shot outside Lucky River, a Chinese restaurant in the city’s Sunnyside neighborhood appears to show a worker slamming slabs of frozen meat on the sidewalk.

KPIX showed the video to residents near the restaurant.

“That’s horrible,” said Steve Vender.

“The sidewalks have never been cleaned,” said London Lacey.

As to why anyone would be pounding the sidewalk with frozen slabs of meat, an inspector from the San Francisco Health Department paid a visit to Lucky River and said the worker was trying to defrost the meat.

KPIX checked out the exact portion of the sidewalk seen in the video and found it covered in blackened gum, cigarette butts, and foot-tracked bacteria of all gut-twisting varieties.

The owner of the restaurant told KPIX it was an isolated incident and that the meat was discarded and the cook has since been fired.

“It’s highly unsanitary, I don’t know how they’re gonna clean the meat off after that. They’re gonna wash it but it certainly doesn’t look very appealing,” said Vender.

Congress Members Join The Protest – “Hands Up Don’t Shoot” – PIC

I admire people who will stand up for something, anything, just stand up… and while you’re at it, raise your hands in support of the movement!

Four members of the Congressional Black Caucus did the “Hands Up, Don’t Shoot” gesture during remarks Monday on the House Floor, to show solidarity with protesters in Ferguson, Mo.

Reps. Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY), Yvette Clarke (D-NY), Sheila Jackson Lee (D-Tex.) and Al Green (D-Tex.), referred to the gesture that has come to symbolize the outrage over the death of Brown, the African American teen shot dead by police officer Darren Wilson in August..

“ ‘Hands up, don’t shoot’ is a rallying cry of people all across America who are fed up with police violence in … communities all across America,” Jeffries said.

Two of the members of Congress, Reps. Lee and Green, also offered their praise for the five St. Louis Rams who gave the “Hands Up, Don’t Shoot” signal on the field during a game Sunday night.

“I saw this clip where the Rams players came into the arena: ‘Hands up; don’t shoot’ … this has become the new symbol, a new statement,” Green said.

Darren Wilson Gave Different Accounts of Mike Brown’s Shooting

It is not easy telling the same story, when that story is a lie.

Darren Wilson changed his story following the immediate aftermath of the fatal shooting of unarmed black teen Michael Brown to include events about which he initially denied all knowledge.

Evidence presented to the grand jury and reviewed by MailOnline has revealed a crucial difference between the officer’s first account of events given to his squad supervisor on the scene and his second statement to St Louis County detectives investigating the shooting.

In Wilson’s now very public account of his encounter with Michael Brown and Dorian Johnson on August 9 he has claimed that he asked Brown and Wilson to move to the sidewalk rather than walk in the street.

When they walked on, Wilson has repeatedly stated, he realized they matched the description of two suspects wanted in connection with the robbery of nearby Ferguson Market. A youth matching Brown’s description had stolen a box of Swishers cigarillos.

It was this realization, he stated, that caused him to reverse his vehicle and sparked the car-side confrontation that left Brown dead on the street with six bullets in his body.

But the sworn testimony of Wilson’s squad supervisor directly contradicts this account.

Wilson’s supervisor was the first officer to speak with the 28-year-old cop following the shooting. The men spoke before St Louis County Police had even been notified of the incident and before the medical examiner or investigating officers had arrived on the scene.

At that time, the supervisor said:’He [Wilson] did not know anything about the stealing call.’

When pressed by the attorney questioning him, the officer reiterated that Wilson, ‘did not know anything’.

Asked, ‘He told you he didn’t know about there being a stealing at Ferguson Market?’

The officer responded, ‘Correct.’

Mary Landrieu Now Turns to Obama Supporters to Save Her Job

Classic case of politics as usual, as Louisiana Senator Mary Landrieu, the same candidate who recently pushed the Republican Keystone Pipeline travesty to a vote in Congress, is now appealing to the Democrats in her state to save her.

In a new ad, Landrieu is heard praising the successes of the president, while warning the voters that if her Republican opponent wins the run off election next week, then President Obama will be impeached.

From the ad:

I’m Mary Landrieu, candidate for Senate, and I approve this message.

This is Congressman Cedric Richmond. Have you heard the crazy stuff Bill Cassidy, Bobby Jindal, and the Republicans are always saying about President Obama? They have shown our president so much disrespect. They said he wasn’t a U.S. citizen, they even sued him – and if Cassidy wins, they will impeach him. Do you remember when the stock market was at 7,000? Now it’s at 17,000, but they say the economy is horrible. Do you remember how bad the unemployment numbers were under the Republicans? Now, unemployment claims are lower then they have been in 14 years. The president needs you to have his back – now, more than ever.

Now, while I agree that Democrats should always run on their successes when campaigning for another term in office, Landrieu’s coming to the light moment seems a tad bit suspicious. I’ll still urge Louisiana voters to support her in the election, but I cringe at the lack of sincerity and obvious politics being played here.
