Detroit Woman Calls Police For Help, Police Allegedly Rapes Woman

A Detroit police officer who responded to a 911 call regarding domestic violence has been arrested and charged with sexual assault against the woman who made the call, according to MyFoxDetroit.

Officer Deon Nunlee, 40, was arraigned Friday on three counts of second-degree criminal sexual conduct, one count of assault with intent to penetrate, and one count of misconduct while on duty.

On October 30, 2013, Nunlee and his partner were dispatched to the home of a woman who called 911 saying her boyfriend had assaulted her.

While Nunlee’s partner stayed with the boyfriend, the officer took the woman upstairs where the woman claims he sexually assaulted her, The woman later told investigators that Nunlee told her that he would be returning the next morning at 7 a.m.

After the officers left the house the woman told two friends about the incident.  She then reported it to the police the next day at which time a rape exam was conducted.

Detroit Receiving Hospital, which examined the woman, forwarded the rape kit to the Michigan State Police Crime Lab.

According to police sources, Nunlee denied the woman’s claim, but he was arrested this week when a positive DNA test came back.

Nunlee, a Detroit police officer since 2008, has been on desk duty since Oct. 30, said Detroit Police Commander Johnny Thomas.

98-Year-Old Gets Driver’s License to Drive Friend to Store – Video

When the retirement community in which Evelyn lives got rid of the bus that took its members to the grocery store, her friend Joyce was dismayed and afraid that she would be moved. She didn’t want to go anywhere else and she didn’t have to, because Evelyn stepped up and obtained a license, making sure that Joyce could go to the store (and anywhere else she needed to go).

Evelyn’s quiet confidence and fortitude are admirable, and she points out that while she doesn’t have much money, she still wants to help others in any way she can.

Sicko Gun Dealer Features George Zimmerman at Gun Show

The only reason anyone know about George Zimmerman is because he murdered a kid named Trayvon Martin. Now, Zimmerman is so popular with the gun nuts that he is a featured guest at their gun shows.

The insensitivity here is palpable.  A family is forced to go on without their son, shot down in the streets because Zimmerman had some racially charged misconceptions about the black boy walking in his neighborhood with a hoodie on. Oh yea, Zimmerman also had a gun, so he felt invincible.

Since he followed and murdered Trayvon, the gun loving creeps in Florida have come out in full force to support this killer. This weekend, they invited Zimmerman to be a featured guest at a gun show. But there are still some sensible folks in the state… apparently.

Organizers of the show – a gun dealer called The Arms Room – originally had the gun show featuring Zimmerman scheduled at The Majestic Event Center, but the operators at The Majestic canceled when the learned about the infamous guest.

The Arms Room shopped the event around to other locations with no luck. They ended up canceling the show but then decided to have it at their shop instead, issuing this sick message on their Facebook page:

“The Majestic may have caved, but the sales must go on! Huge sales on Liberty Safes, Arms Room Rifles, Ammunition and Kel-Tec Firearms! Enjoy free food and drinks and you never know who might show up.”

Huge sales, using the man who killed a child as their top salesman. Capitalism at work I guess.

Sickos!

Military Groups Blast Republicans for Killing Veteran Benefits

Veterans organizations are not happy with U.S. Senate Republicans today, after a bill to expand health care and education programs for veterans failed to gain enough support to move forward, Reuters reports.

From Washington Post:

The measure, sponsored by Senate Veterans Affairs Committee Chairman Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.), collapsed after failing to garner enough Republican votes to waive the VA spending cap established in a budget deal Congress and President Obama approved in December. Sanders’s office estimated that the VA legislation would have cost $20 billion over 10 years.
60 votes were needed to waive the budget rule but 41 of 45 Republicans voted against it, effectively killing the bill.

Calling it “Senate Shenanigans,” the non-profit Iraq and Afghanistan Veterans of America lamented senate leaders who were engaged in “procedural games.”

“It has been a winter of discontent, starting when Congress cut military retirement benefits before being pressured into reversing course,” IAVA Founder and CEO Paul Rieckhoff said in a statement. “Then earlier this week, Congress forced the Pentagon to make budget cuts that increased living costs for our service members. And now the Senate can’t pass a critical and transformative bill that includes priorities that have garnered bipartisan support for years.”

And this from the American Legion:

“I don’t know how anyone who voted ‘no’ today can look a veteran in the eye and justify that vote,” American Legion national commander Daniel M. Dellinger told WaPo. “Our veterans deserve more than what they got today.”

Man Loses Weight Eating Nothing But McDonald’s

He makes nutritionists frown, but a man who ate all of his meals at McDonald’s for six months says he’s lighter and healthier as he nears the end of his unconventional weight-loss plan.

John Cisna, a high school science teacher in Colo, Iowa, who gained national attention for his experiment, says he has lost 56 pounds, lowered his cholesterol and lost a total of 21 inches off his chest, waist and hips while dining only at the fast food emporium.

As enthusiastic as Cisna is about the results, even he’s incredulous about what he’s done. He documents his experience, which ends on March 15, in the new book, ”My McDonald’s Diet.”

“It’s kind of scary to realize that in nine days, I’ll have spent half a year of my life eating nothing but McDonald’s,” he told TODAY.

“I’m not bored of the food, but I am missing other foods. I am craving seafood. In fact, my first night when I am done with this, I’m going to have some shrimp and some scallops and some salmon. Maybe some asparagus on a bed of rice pilaf.”

As Cisna first told TODAY in January, he followed a 2,000 calorie diet, using the daily recommended allowances for carbohydrates, proteins, sugar and fat; and he walked 45 minutes a day.

Obama Great For The Economy – 48 Months of Job Growth

We hear a lot about this fictional liberal land under President Obama, where job creation was killed by Obamacare and liberal ideas have destroyed the country. Reality, of course, is quite different. In fact, reality is almost the exact opposite. For Bush’s entire 8 years, job growth was just 1.1 million. Yet under Obama, the private sector has had 48 straight months of job growth, with businesses adding 8.7 million jobs.

Today’s job numbers are a good example of the disconnect. “Nonfarm payroll employment rose by 175,000 in February, and the unemployment rate, at 6.7 percent, changed little,” per Erica L. Groshen, the Commissioner of the Bureau of Labor Statistics.

Jason Furman, Chairman of the Council of Economic Advisers, put these numbers in perspective in a statement in which he explained that February was the 48th straight month of private sector job growth, “February 2014 was the 48th straight month of private-sector job growth, with businesses adding 8.7 million jobs over that time.”

Another Republican Lie Debunked – Obamacare Creating More Full time Employment

Obamacare has not yet turned America into a nation of part-time workers, as many of its strongest critics have long said it would.

In fact, the opposite seems to be happening, according to new government numbers published Friday: The number of part-time jobs is actually shrinking, and full-time jobs are being created instead.

Specifically, the number of part-time workers in the U.S. fell in February to about 27.3 million, the Bureau of Labor Statistics reported on Friday. That number is down by about 300,000 since March 2010, when the Affordable Care Act, aka Obamacare, became law.

Meanwhile, the ranks of full-time workers have grown by more than 2 million within the past year to 117.8 million in February. The number of part-time workers fell by about 230,000 over that period.

Republicans argue that Obamacare’s decree that businesses must give full-time workers health-care coverage will cause a bunch of jobs to switch from full-time to part-time. And a handful of employers have actually cut worker hours because of Obamacare.

But the majority of those cutting hours are in the struggling public sector — state and local governments. In the private sector, the chief financial officers of 500 companies recently said that Obamacare will have a limited impact on their hiring decisions.

Pregnant Mom Drives Car with Kids into Ocean

(AP) — A pregnant South Carolina woman who drove a minivan carrying her three young children into the ocean surf off Florida had talked about demons before leaving the house, according to her sister who worriedly called police, officials said during a news conference Wednesday.

After the call to dispatch Tuesday, Daytona Beach police officers stopped 31-year-old Ebony Wilkerson’s black Honda Odyssey and she expressed fear that her husband would be coming to Florida to harm her and her children, said Police Chief Mike Chitwood.

“When we spoke with her she was lucid,” Chitwood said. “The children were in the back seat, they were buckled in and were not in distress. Although the sergeant said she looked like she had some mental illness, she did not fit the criteria for going into custody under the Baker Act.”

The Florida Mental Health Act, commonly known as the Baker Act, allows authorities to involuntarily take people into custody if they seem to be a threat to themselves.

Two hours after the police stop, Wilkerson drove into the ocean. Bystanders and officers helped pull her and her children — ages 3, 9 and 10 — from their minivan as it was almost submerged.

Ebony Wilkerson’s sister told police she was concerned about her sister’s mental state, Chitwood said.

“Her sister had called dispatch and told them that she (Wilkerson) had been talking about demons that day before she left the house,” Chitwood said.

Chitwood said Wilkerson went to Halifax Health Medical Center on Monday to voluntarily check herself but then decided against it and walked out.

The children were turned over to welfare authorities.
