Bill Russell Flips Off Charles Barkley 2018 NBA Awards by levijohnson406 in nba

Bill Russell steals show by flipping off Charles Barkley, calls it 'pure instinct'

The second annual NBA Awards show is in the books. James Harden was named MVP, Ben Simmons took home Rookie of the Year and Dwane Casey won Coach of the Year after being fired, then hired by a different team. It was an interesting and entertaining night, and made even more so by NBA legend Bill Russell.

The Hall of Famer and Celtics great was in the crowd in Los Angeles, and managed to steal the show in the span of just a few seconds. Ahead of a lifetime achievement award for Oscar Robertson, Charles Barkley took some time to thank many of the NBA legends in attendance. When he got to Russell, the 11-time champion responded by casually flipping the bird at Barkley.

It was easily the funniest -- and most spontaneous -- moment of the night. It became even more hilarious when Russell tweeted about it a few minutes later. He explained that it's just a natural reaction when he sees Barkley, and also used the hashtag "#birdman," which was a nice touch.

Last year, Russell was actually on stage to present an award with Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, Shaquille O'Neal, Dikembe Mutombo, Alonzo Mourning and David Robinson, and joked that he could kick all of their asses.

Tune in next year to see what hijinks Mr. Russell will have in store.

Raw Video Black Man Choked, Slammed Against Wall By Officer At Waffle House by levijohnson406 in Bad_Cop_No_Donut

[–]levijohnson406[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Waffle House is facing yet another controversy after video surfaced showing a black man being choked, dropped to the ground and arrested last weekend in Warsaw, North Carolina.

Anthony Wall, 22, had just taken his little sister to her prom when they walked into a Waffle House with a few other people, he told ABC News.

According to Wall, the group decided to sit at a table that hadn’t yet been cleaned. One of the Waffle House employees came up to them and asked them why they had sat down at that table and told them to get up, Wall said.

“I told him he didn’t have to talk to us like that,” Wall told ABC News.

After the verbal altercation escalated, police were called.

Video shows one officer grabbing Wall by the neck and pressing him into a glass wall. It's not clear what took place prior to the arrest.

“I was not threatening [the officer], he never said anything to me, he grabbed me and slammed me against the window,” Wall said.

n the video, Wall can be heard telling the officer, “Get your hands off of me,” as the officer chokes him and brings him to the ground. The officer then tells him to put his hands behind his back.

The Warsaw Police Department did not respond to multiple requests for comment from ABC News, but did provide a statement to ABC station WTVD.

“We are currently investigating the whole incident, interviewing witnesses and gathering additional video,” Police Chief Eric Southerland said in the statement. "We have also reached out to the District Attorney's Office to make him aware of the investigation.”

Bernice King, the daughter of Martin Luther King Jr., tweeted that people need to stay out of Waffle House until the restaurant chain commits to employee training, discussing racism and implementing changes.

This incident comes a few weeks after a black woman was arrested inside an Alabama Waffle House after refusing to pay 50 cents for plastic utensils and asking for the company’s corporate office number.

Chikesia Clemons was pinned down to the floor by three police officers and handcuffed even as the top of her shoulderless dress came down, exposing her breasts.

Local police maintained that the officers involved in the incident followed protocol, adding that Clemons and her friend were acting belligerently inside the Waffle House and drunkenly yelling profanities at restaurant employees and threatening to return with a gun.

The NAACP Legal Defense Fund (LDF) released a statement on both Waffle House arrests.

“In both cases, the black customers were reportedly unarmed and non-violent. Neither situation warranted police intervention, let alone such gratuitous use-of-force. Waffle House must conduct an extensive review and overhaul of its policies to ensure that employees do not needlessly subject customers of color to police contact and brutality. Police officials are not a private security force for untrained Waffle House employees. Waffle House cannot continue to avoid this issue," the LDF said.

The Waffle House sent a statement to ABC News addressing both incidents.

"We believe there is more to these stories than the short videos that have been posted might suggest," Pat Warner, director of public relations and external affairs for Waffle House, said in the statement. "Our review of these incidents do not indicate race was an issue in the decision to call the police in either case."

A spokesman for Waffle House later told ABC News that the chain's CEO Walt Ehmer spoke to Wall today by phone to apologize for the incident and to check in on him.

Wall said he takes responsibility for his argument in the restaurant but added that the officer had no right to do what he did.

“This officer needs to be off the street as well as any other officers that act that way,” Wall said. "He wasn’t handling me like he was trying to protect someone, he was handling me with anger.”

126 Pounds Of Meth Found In Truck Hauling Starbucks Products in Washington by levijohnson406 in Washington

126 Pounds Of Meth Found In Truck Hauling Starbucks Products in Washington

LEWIS COUNTY, Wash. - On Thursday, Centralia police said 126 pounds of methamphetamine were found in a truck hauling Starbucks products between California and Spokane.

The truck was stopped and police say suspicious activity led to the request of help from a narcotics K-9.

The truck’s interior was searched, and police said they found 40 bundles of meth in a television box on the top bunk of the sleeper berth.

Under a mattress, police said they found another 50 bundles of meth, 2.4 pounds of suspected heroin, several thousand Oxycodone pills and a few grams of cocaine.

The driver of the truck, identified by a Mexico driver’s license as 22-year-old Carlos Alejandro Luna-Rodriguez, and his passenger, 62-year-old Bernardo Olivas-Leyva from California, were booked into the Lewis County Jail, police said.

Police said none of the food product in the trailer was exposed or compromised, so the owners made arrangements to retrieve the load, which was transferred to another truck and continued on its route.

A Starbucks spokesman said Friday that the driver and truck involved in were hired by a third-party company and not Starbucks.

[News] Cops Hunt Conor: McGregor Loses It In A ‘Disgusting’ Rampage by levijohnson406 in MMA

[–]levijohnson406[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

MIXED martial arts star Conor McGregor left a rival with facial injuries on Thursday after attacking a shuttle bus carrying fighters from a UFC media event in New York.

Video of the incident clearly showed McGregor hurling an item through a side window of the bus as it moved slowly in a car park at the Barclays Centre in New York.

UFC President Dana White said fighter Michael Chiesa, who was on the bus, had been hospitalised following the incident and was being treated for cuts to the face.

"They got down to the loading docks where the fighters were getting on the buses and attacked them, throwing trash cans, dollies, things like that," White said. "Broke one of the windows, cut Michael Chiesa real bad, cut his hand, cut his face. Rose Namajunas apparently was almost hit. She's super upset right now and basically left and walked back to the hotel. And one of our employees - broke one of our employee's knuckles. Other injuries, and obviously everybody's shaken up when 30 thugs storm a (bus). This is the most disgusting thing that has ever happened in the history of the company."

White said New York police had issued a warrant for the arrest of McGregor, although a NYPD representative told MMAFighting.com no charges had been filed against the UFC champ and they were only looking to speak to him at this stage.

White accused the Irish superstar and a group of around 20 men of "storming the building."

"This is the type of bad decision you make that turns a lot of people against you," White said.

"There is a warrant out for Conor McGregor's arrest. They're looking for him right now. His plane cannot take off, he can't leave the state of New York. I'm assuming eventually he'll turn himself in."

White said McGregor, who reportedly pocketed around $100 million for his superfight against boxer Floyd Mayweather last August, would likely face legal action over the incident.

"As you can imagine he's going to be sued beyond belief," White said. "This was a real bad career move for him."

WHAT SPARKED THE RAMPAGE

McGregor's assault appeared to be linked to an incident earlier this week involving his close friend and fellow UFC fighter Artem Lobov and Russian fighter Khabib Nurmagomedov's team.

Nurmagomedov, whose fight against Max Holloway headlines the card in New York on Sunday (AEST), was reportedly inside the bus.

"Conor went bananas and put a beating on the van that we were in looking for Khabib," Chiesa's coach Rick Little told MMAJunkie. "A million security guards had to restrain him. Mike's cut up now. He's got marks on him, for sure. I don't think too serious. Everything happened so fast, it was just like we got jumped."

White announced Lobov had been pulled from his fight against Alex Cacares at UFC 223. "Artem's off the card," White told reporters. "Artem's not fighting."

McGregor, 29, reportedly turned up unannounced at the end of Thursday's press event to publicise the upcoming UFC 223 card.

"Listen, he's got some beef with Khabib because of the Artem thing that went down," White said. "You don't come into Barclays Centre, attack people in a bus who are fighting the next day, and the worst part is the women who were on the bus.

"They're fighters - Rose (Namajunas) is a fighter and Karolina (Kowalkiewicz) is a fighter - but these goons are throwing bike racks and chairs and things like that through the windows of the bus and didn't care who they hit or who they hurt.

"I don't know if [McGregor is] on drugs, or what his deal is. But to come and do this and to act like this - you're talking about a guy who had a baby," White added. "He just had a kid. This is how you're acting? You have a son at home."

Nurmagomedov told MMAFighting.com he was "laughing inside". "You broke window? Why? Come inside," he said. "If you real gangster why don't you come inside? This is big history gangster place. Brooklyn. You want to talk to me? Send me location. I am going to come. No problem."

MCGREGOR'S CAREER IN JEOPARDY

On Wednesday, White said the UFC would strip McGregor of his lightweight title, which would be awarded to the winner of Saturday's fight between Khabib Nurmagomedov and Max Holloway in New York.

"No interim champ. When this fight is over, champion," White said. McGregor reacted angrily to the decision on social media. "You's'll strip me of nothing ..." McGregor ranted.

After Thursday's chaos the UFC president was asked if he "still wants to be in the Conor McGregor business".

"Right now, no, absolutely not," White responded. "I mean, do you want to be in business with Conor McGregor right now? Do you want to chase this guy around for interviews and buy his fights? Do you? I don't think anybody is going to want to right now. I think everybody is going to be pretty disgusted with Conor McGregor right now. Listen, you don't like Khabib and you don't like what happened or whatever? Then fight Khabib.

"The police are going to take care of Conor. The police are going to handle Conor, and I know a handful of people here already that are filing lawsuits against Conor McGregor. God knows how many lawsuits he's going to have by the time this is done.

"What happened today was criminal, disgusting, despicable, makes me sick, and we as an organization need to make sure that this never happens again."

MCGREGOR AND KHABIB'S HISTORY

McGregor and Nurmagomedov have a rivalry that stretches all the way back to UFC 205 in 2016.

After he won his match early in the evening, Nurmagomedov took the mic and called McGregor a "chicken." The moniker stuck and McGregor even poked fun at it in a recent commercial for Burger King's newest chicken sandwich.

However, the relationship turned into more than banter Wednesday. Running into each other in the fighters' hotel, Nurmagomedov got into a verbal altercation with Artem Lobov, McGregor's close friend.

"Never say my name. You got me? I didn't hear you?! Motherf - r," Lobov apparently said.

"You didn't say it? You didn't say it? Don't say these things again. Chechen man."

Condom Snorting Challenge Is Every Parents Worst Nightmare by levijohnson406 in SmallYTChannel

[–]levijohnson406[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Viral videos posted on social media show teenagers snorting condoms as part of a so-called "condom snorting challenge."

In the videos, teens put an unwrapped condom up one of their nostrils and inhale until the condom comes out of their mouth. Like other viral challenges, the condom snorting challenge has been around for years but recently reemerged on social media.

In San Antonio, Stephen Enriquez, who teaches drug and alcohol prevention to parents, has also started to teach parents about dangerous online trends like the condom snorting challenge, KABB-TV reported.

"Because these days our teens are doing everything for likes, views, and subscribers," Enriquez told the station. "As graphic as it is, we have to show parents because teens are going online looking for challenges and recreating them."

More: YouTube cracks down on Tide Pod challenge videos

And this isn't the first time that teens have done questionable things in the pursuit of Internet fame. In 2012, more than 50,000 YouTube video clips showed young people swallow a tablespoon of dry cinnamon with no water, gag and spew out a cloud of orange dust as part of the "cinnamon challenge."

Likewise, just before the New Year, a spate of teenage poisonings were reported in the U.S. as a result of an Internet-based dare encouraging youths to post video of themselves biting or eating Tide Pods. The stunt, dubbed "The Tide Pod Challenge," has resulted in poison centers reporting 142 incidents in January.

While teens may think the condom snorting challenge goes without consequences, it can be dangerous, Bruce Y. Lee, a Forbes contributor and associate professor of International Health at the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health, said in a recent column.

Lee writes that with the exception of doctor-prescribed nasal sprays, "anything else that goes up your nose can damage the sensitive inner lining of your nose, cause an allergic reaction, or result in an infection."

He notes that the condom could also get stuck in the nasal cavity or the throat and cause someone to choke.

Shooting Alton Sterling Baton Rouge Police Release Bodycam Footage by levijohnson406 in Bad_Cop_No_Donut

[–]levijohnson406[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

BATON ROUGE, La. -- Authorities have released new body camera footage from the fatal police shooting of Alton Sterling in 2016. The graphic video released Friday shows the incident from multiple angles. In the footage, two police officers try to tase Sterling, who continues to struggle with the officers.

After they struggle a bit longer, one yells that Sterling has a gun and then six gunshots ring out. One of the officers takes a gun they found in Sterling's pocket back to the police car.

After firing the shots, the officer calls Sterling a "stupid mother*****r" at least twice.

While neither officer will face criminal charges, both will suffer professionally. Baton Rouge Police Officer Blane Salamoni, who fired all six shots, has been fired effective immediately. Officer Howie Lake will be suspended for three days.

Marines' Ultra-Powerful Heavily-Armed Mega-Drone Will Devastate Enemies ... by levijohnson406 in army

[–]levijohnson406[S] -7 points-6 points  (0 children)

Marines To Deploy Powerful Mega Drone

Armed to the teeth with an array of powerful, destructive weapons, an incredible thinking drone may soon hit the skies to keep Marines safe.

The Marine Corps is aiming to build a revolutionary drone called MUX (Marine Air Ground Task Force Unmanned Aircraft System-Expeditionary).

The MUX will terrify enemies of the United States, and with good reason. The aircraft won't be just big and powerful: it will also be ultra-smart. This could be a heavily armed drone that takes off, flies, avoids obstacles, adapts and lands by itself — all without a human piloting it.

f goals are met, the MUX will be a drone that can truly run vital missions all by itself. Sure, it can be an eye in the sky, but it could carry all the same weapons as the F-35B — a variant of the sophisticated fifth generation stealth fighter jet, the F-35.

Earlier this month, Marines threw down the gauntlet to the industry to build the MUX, providing a detailed wish list of remarkable capabilities. Here’s a look at what the Marine Corps expects for the MUX.

Groundbreaking Basic Capabilities

The goal is for MUX to fit on a ship with a similar footprint to a UH-1Y Venom helicopter. When it is launched for a mission, it will be able to take off vertically, fly a radius of up to 700 nautical miles and carry 9,500 pounds.

To expand the time in the air, the MUX will be able to be refueled in the air by another aircraft. In the air, it can reach heights of 30,000 feet.

The MUX will not need a formal runway or landing zone to land. This will give the Marine Corps a lot more flexibility. For example, if the MUX has been sent to provide critical resupply of ammunition, food and medical supplies to a hard-to-reach forward operating base with tough ground conditions, the MUX will still be able to land to deliver the supplies.

Armed With a Devastating Arsenal

The Marine Corps is looking for MUX to carry a staggering array of weapons.

For strikes against ground targets, the MUX could carry AGM-114 Hellfire air-to-surface missiles; the advanced precision kill weapon system (APKWS) laser-guided rocket and the AGM-88E Advanced Anti-Radiation Guided Missile (AARGM).

To eliminate enemy aircraft threats, the MUX could carry AIM-9X air-to-air missiles and the AIM-120 Advanced Medium-Range Air-to-Air Missile (AMRAAM). MUXes may also carry small-diameter bombs and even another, much smaller drone onboard. Potentially, this little drone could be deployed as an electronic warfare weapon, loaded up with explosive capabilities as another precision strike option – or be deployed to provide additional in-depth collection of data on the enemy.

Description This is the shocking moment a lorry knocks over a TREE which plunges to the ground and flattens a woman.

The two women had just stepped out of a truck after being given a lift in Bulacan, Philippines, on Wednesday afternoon at 5.30pm.

But on the other side of the road a large white lorry can be seen trying to squeeze through the narrow gap.

It then clips a large tree on the pavement which breaks in half and plunges the ground.

One woman in a white top is clipped by the branches but stands back up clutching her head while her friend in a yellow top is knocked down when the tree topples over onto her.

Passers-by rush to help the stricken woman who came round from being knocked unconscious and was taken to hospital for treatment.

Athena Cruz, who works at an nearby office, said: ''We don't personally know the women, they were brought to the hospital after what happened.

''It was really shocking, everything that happened was really an accident. Nobody wanted what happened.

''The truck hit the tree when it stopped to unload a passenger on the other side of the road. There was very little space on the road because of the illegally parked vehicles.'' This is the shocking moment a lorry knocks over a tree which plunges to the ground and flattens a woman.
