Missouri Police Union Announced “Darren Wilson Day” on Anniversary of Mike Brown Shooting

One year later, as unrest and protest returned to Ferguson Missouri marking the first year anniversary of the shooting of Mike Brown, the police union in Missouri is apparently having its own celebration. The union has taken to Facebook and proclaimed Brown’s death as Darren Wilson Day. You remember Darren Wilson right? He is the police officer who served and protected Mike Brown by pumping multiple bullets into Brown’s body as Brown ran away.

A post Sunday on the Facebook page of a Missouri police union declared the one-year anniversary of the shooting of unarmed teenager Michael Brown to be “Darren Wilson Day,” after the police officer who killed him, according to the St. Louis Post-Dispatch.

The post on the page of the Columbia Police Officers’ Association incited outrage in the college town, including among city officials. Protestors gathered Monday outside the police department, according to the newspaper.

The post said the shooting had nothing to do with race and referred to Wilson, who was a police officer in Ferguson, Missouri, as an “innocent, but persecuted, officer,” according to the Post-Dispatch. It also said Wilson was innocent because of “the fact that he was thoroughly investigated… and found he did NOTHING wrong,” according to the report.

The post was shared almost 60 times, according to an ABC affiliate.

Fox Host Walks Off Set Instead of Talking About The Kardashians… Again – Video

Everything ‘Fox’ is all about publicity. But after watching this clip of a Fox35 host walking off stage after the subject of Kardashian came up, I’m convinced… This host, John Brown, is sick and tired of talking about the Kardashians. He’s had enough! Said he was “having a good Friday” and couldn’t talk about the famous or infamous family that day!

Video

Here is the Kardashian rant. Sorry, I lost my mind a bit, although it was partially in jest! I did feel better though after I was done.See more Good Day Orlando videos: http://bit.ly/JLScxX #FOX35

Bernie Sanders Gets National Nurses Union Endorsement… Not Hillary

In this photo taken May 20, 2015, Democratic Presidential candidate Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-Vt., poses for a portrait before an interview with The Associated Press in Washington. For Democrats who had hoped to lure Massachusetts Sen. Elizabeth Warren into a presidential campaign, independent Sen. Bernie Sanders might be the next best thing. Sanders, who is opening his official presidential campaign Tuesday in Burlington, Vermont, aims to ignite a grassroots fire among left-leaning Democrats wary of Hillary Rodham Clinton. He is laying out an agenda in step with the party's progressive wing and compatible with Warren's platform _ reining in Wall Street banks, tackling college debt and creating a government-financed infrastructure jobs program.

Well chalk another one up for Bernie Sanders. The Washington Post is reporting that Bernie has scored a major endorsement from the National Nurses Union, which essentially means that Hillary Clinton did not get their endorsement… essentially!

National Nurses United, which represents 185,000 nurses across the country, announced its pick at an event in Oakland attend by Sanders, the independent senator from Vermont who has emerged as Hillary Rodham Clinton’s chief rival for the Democratic nomination.

“He can talk about our issues as well as we can talk about our issues,” RoseAnn DeMoro, the union’s executive director, said in an interview, adding that “Bernie’s issues align with nurses from top to bottom.”

The endorsement was the first for Sanders from a national labor group. Last month, the American Federation of Teachers announced its support for Clinton, calling her “the champion working families need in the White House.”

Donald Trump – Megyn Kelly “should really be apologizing to me” – Video

You might have heard that Donald Trump was involved in a Republican debate last week. And yes, questions were asked at the debate as is normal. But the donald is trying to set a new standard. He wants to dictate what questions are asked and if the questions do not pass his smell test, then he wants an apology for wasting his time.

Megyn Kelly of Fox News has been on the receiving end of the donald and all the venom the donald is capable of spitting. Her apparent mistake was asking the donald about past sexist remarks he has made. You might have heard that donald is running for president of the United States and is presently leading in a crowded Republican field.

Well Megyn’s questions didn’t fall on Trump’s good side and he chastised her greatly for using the debate to question him. Even calling her a “bimbo” and suggesting that her menstrual cycle was responsible for her questions.

But Trump is not stopping there. He now wants Megyn Kelly to apologize to him for asking a “stupid” and “unfair” question.. On MSNBC’s Morning Joe, Trump had the nerve to not only appear on the show, but also to utter these words – “She should really be apologizing to me, you want to know the truth. And other candidates have said that.”

I think this is an experiment in politics, something no one has ever tried before. Donald Trump is trying to see just how far he can go before Republicans in his party revolt and kick him to the curb. The only problem is this Republican party has an unusual high tolerance for ignorance and bias, so instead of the revolt, Donald Trump might find himself gaining more favors among the Republican voters, as has been the case since he began his experiment months ago!
