Gotta Love The Police: Officer Caught On Camera Punching 17-Year-Old Girl In Face [Video]

A Washington State police officer is under investigation after civilians videotaped him struggling with a 17-year-old jay walker before punching her in the face.

Seattle police report that an unidentified police officer pulled a man aside for jay walking at the city's 3100 block of Martin Luther King, Jr. Way Monday.

While the officer was scolding the man for the traffic violation, he reportedly saw four young women jay walk in the exact same spot and asked them to step over to his vehicle.
Seattle police say the women became “verbally antagonistic toward the officer” and one attempted to walk away.

That woman, a 19-year-old seen in a turquoise top, was then “escorted back” to the officer's patrol car police and reportedly “began to tense up her arm and pull away from the officer while yelling at him” before breaking away from him several times.

Her 17-year-old friend seen in a pink top, then intervened and placed her hand on the officer's arm causing him to punch her in the face.

Both women were handcuffed and arrested.

The 19-year-old faces an obstruction of justice charge and the 17-year-old is under investigation for assaulting an officer.

New Music: The Roots feat. John Legend: "Doin It Again"

We've already called 2010 as the Year of Soul, but we may need to change that to the Year of Hip Hop & Soul. There's no question that this year has already brought its fair share of bangers, with recent releases from Little Brother, Reflection Eternal and Nas and Damian Marley with upcoming albums from Slum Village and Kanye West on the way. But the piece of hip hop heat that I can't wait to finally listen to is The Roots' How I Got Over' , which finally hits the streets on June 22nd. 

After complaining that we had yet to hear a second single up until a few weeks ago, a few leaks have surfaced to whet our appetites and show us how The Legendary Roots Crews is doing it this time around. On "Doin It Again" Black Thought and the fellas throw John Legend's song "Again" back on the grill and heat it up with Thought's wicked flow and ?uestlove beating those drums into submission. My only complaint about this jawn? It's too short

Tea Party Rally Turns...errr...KKK, Skinheads and Other Hate Groups Flock to Arizona

These people just don't know when to give it up do they?
 
Having many perceiving Arizona as a state submerged in racism, what better outlet than this for skinheads, the KKK, Neo-Nazi and other groups to force their own opinions and push the idea of “white power”.

Check the video below.

And here's a nice, subtle response to those that feel like this "white power" movement will ever get anywhere.

Dang Florida: Road Signs To Say “No Latinos”, “No Tacos”

Construction workers in Florida are blaming hackers for two flashing road signs that greeted drivers on the Palmetto Expressway saying, “No Latinos” and “No Tacos.”
Officials say the signs are password protected and activated online but that hasn't stopped hackers from using them in the past.

NBC 6 reports that in Austin, Texas, a sign was hacked to say "ZOMBIES IN AREA! RUN while another in Indiana read, "RAPTORS AHEAD - CAUTION."
A spokesman for the company that makes the signs tells NBC that they're investigating the tampering.

"The hacked message was offensive and vandalistic. We had nothing to do with the message and we find the message both appalling and discriminatory.”

The signs were changed by 6 a.m. Tuesday morning.

“He had me in the corner. I took a knife and I stabbed him in his finger. He ran in his room and grabbed a big ole butcher knife. He came back and was like 'You cut me, you cut me.' He was standing right there. He just took the knife and stuck it in my arm. "
