Cops in Sean Bell Shooting Forced Out of The NYPD

The ReadyWriter

Three officers involved in the controversial Sean Bell shooting case will be forced out of the NYPD by Monday, including one who will be fired.

An NYPD departmental judge ruled to fire Detective Gescard Isnora (who will not get his pension), Detective Michael Oliver and Detective Marc Cooper. Lt. Gary Napoli has also been forced to leave the NYPD. Napoli was a supervisor on the scene that night but did not fire his weapon.

“It’s a slap on the wrist”, said Bell’s father, William Bell. “They’re going to get another job, their life is going to go on while mine is just stuck.”

Isnora was the detective who fired first, in a hail of 50-shots that killed 23-year-old Sean Bell, who was unarmed in the early morning hours on his wedding day. The November 2006 shooting, which occurred outside of a Queens strip club, also injured were Bell’s friends; Joseph Guzman and Trent Benefield.

“I Am Trayvon Martin” Outrage or Craze??

The ReadyWriter

In support of Trayvon Martin, the 17 year old who was gunned down on February 26, 2012 in the gated community where his father’s lived, the internet is all a craze with people wearing hoodies in light of the details made known by his killers pursuit.

LeBron James and the Miami Heat team showed their full support for Trayvon Martin by wearing grey hoodies in a group photo LeBron uploaded to Twitter.com yesterday with the hashtags: “#WeAreTrayvonMartin #Hoodies #Stereotyped #WeWantJustice”.

Meanwhile, Fox News host Geraldo Rivera fanned the flames of controversy when he advised black and Hispanic parents not to let their sons leave home wearing hoodies.

Rivera denied that he was “blaming the victim” and called it “common sense” for minorities to avoid wearing hoodies. He said that he was “reminding minority parents of the risk that comes with being a kid of color in America,” according to the Huffington Post.

Trayvon was unarmed and carrying a bag of Skittles and a can of ice tea when he was ambushed and gunned down by a racist neighborhood watch captain as he walked home from a corner store. Because Trayvon was black and wearing a hoodie, the neighborhood watch captain thought he was a suspicious criminal, “up to no good”.

But… one of my loyal readers think it’s a craze, and when the flames are fanned, the outrage will subside. Why? Because we don’t stay informed, check out what she said:

Coroner: Whitney Houston had cocaine in her system

The ReadyWriter

The LA County coroner’s report lists cocaine among the drugs in Whitney Houston’s system when she died, according to TMZ.com. The coroner’s report also cites “accidental drowning” as the cause of death, which might have been precipitated by a heart attack.

The L.A. County Coroner has just released the singer’s official cause of death — accidental drowning … but the report also notes heart disease and cocaine use were contributing factors to Whitney’s demise.

A source connected to the investigation tells us it is “very possible” Whitney had a heart attack that caused her to lose consciousness and drown. The heart attack may have been triggered by hardening of the arteries as a result of cocaine use.  Source

Oh Lord, Ray J Supposedly Have Sex Tapes of Whitney Houston

The ReadyWriter

Pseudo-singer Ray J is supposedly so torn up over the tragic passing of R&B singer, Whitney Houston that he is seeking therapy. But that hasn’t stopped his nasty ass from dropping subtle hints that he may be sitting on a treasure trove of sex tapes and nude photos of Whitney.

Ray J is sitting on “a ton of sexually explicit photos and videos” starring he and the late Whitney Houston, an insider exclusively tells this week’s edition of Star magazine.

The Houston family has “been in contact with Ray and told him they do not want any photos or videos painting her in a bad light to come out,” the source said, adding the famous family “explained to Ray that now is the time to honor Whitney, not drag her legacy down.”

The insider said the younger brother of singer Brandy has “been stalling” to sell, or hand them over, them to Whitney’s family “because he knows he’s sitting on a gold mine.”

The late Houston “adored” Ray J, the insider said of the hip-hop hunk, whose name is synonymous with his 2007 sex tape with Kim Kardashian.

The late singer, who dated the 31-year-old stud on and off in her final years, “loved doting on him and would have done anything he asked — including making a sex tape,” the insider said. Source

Ray J is probably lying about the existence of these alleged sex tapes. Unlike Kim Kardashian, Whitney was too smart to let him film her in the act — if she even allowed that rat to touch her. But this just shows the lengths that this “attention whore” will go, to keep his name in the news.

Two sisters murdered in Boynton Beach, Florida

The ReadyWriter

Sisters, Janice Rahming, 54, and Daphne Clemons, 42, were gunned down in their Boynton Beach home on Saturday night. The bold part about this story is, Detectives say two people opened the front door of the home on Northeast Second Court around 10:45 p.m. carrying high-powered semi-automatic rifles and began shooting at the women.

Police say, there is no reason to believe this was a random shooting or a home  invasion. It appears the house was targeted by the shooters and is likely connected to other recent acts of violence in Boynton Beach. The police implying, the shootings may have been a retaliation of some sort.

Police Chief Matt Immler said the shooting could be drug or gang-related, possibly a retribution, adding that; detectives aren’t ruling anything out. It appears nothing was  stolen from the home.

The sisters were mothers, wives and a grandmother; the husband of one of the sisters said; they did everything together. And while the younger sister was only visiting here sisters as she often did, she may have been targeted as well.

This story is so sad and shocking, I have relatives all over Florida, in Boynton Beach especially. Thanks to my cousin Amanda (who lives in Atlanta, GA) for the story tip. Amanda was close with the younger sister and is extremely devastated by this tragedy.
