On RNN-TV this week, we took on Stop and Frisk.
Also we took on Lebron James in the sports corner. Is LeBron Still Enemy #1? It may have been handled badly, but my point is Lebron was not the slave of the Cleveland basketball team owner. Lebron's contract was up, and he decided to leave. Here's stop and Frisk discussion.

Stop and Frisk Part two. The way we discussed it on RNN-TV this week.
This as City and state legislators stood side by side with New York's congressional delegation in Washington, D.C. to demand that the Justice Department investigate the New York City Police Department’s controversial stop-and-frisk policies.
It's wrong, wrong, wrong.
The Stop and Frisk practices of the New York Police Dept is NOT effective law enforcement against crime, it is racially profiling.
Young adults, boys and girls are being stopped, arrested, jailed and in many cases this high profile prace leads to conviction.
Law enforcement may see this as an effective way to fight crime and violence, but all it amounts too is a violation of one's rights.

Zimmerman, accused of murder in the Trayvon Martin case, turned himself in to authorities in Florida Sunday after his bail was revoked.
The argument about fiscal austerity has been drilled into all of us. The U.S Marines couldn't have done a better job.
It's our new way of life.
If you are a Republican elected official, there's a second part to the "cutting back" rule of thumb these days: Don't dare believe in compromise. Don't dare reach across the aisle. Do so at your own peril.
Attempts at bipartisanship are the new blood sport.
Should there by Breathalyzers at the Prom?
Would it lead to kids (our children, sons & daughters) being arrested on one of their biggest nights and possibly facing conviction?
Would Police make such high profile arrest? What would a District Attorney do? Would the kids be disgraced for years to come. What would be the impact on the family.
What we know so far is that ultimately the young people could end up missing their graduation.
