Greetings and salutation. While the mainstream Corporate Press have been battling us this week with the new russia gate plot twists in the latest excuse for corporate democrat hipster queen lena dunhams racism is the excuse now is that she was burdened with a chronic blind spot to race issues because she went to rich good private schools in new york city i guess there actually has been a real Important News going on like the under reported recent rash of gun Police Violence and racism cropping up across the heartland of the United States once again in milwaukee recently released Police Body Cam footage finally confirms what many suspected the twenty Seventeen Police shooting of teenager Jerry Smith Jr after being cornered by four officer. On a rooftop. It confirm that the kid was indeed unarmed and completely innocent of any crime except for i guess the crime of holding a cell phone and trying to surrender while being black in america next door in the snow covered state of minnesota there are reports that a young somali teenager had a handgun waved at her for having the audacity to stand up for herself after being mocked while failing to buy some mcdonalds seventeen year old john of doing what he told reporters that after she and her friends confronted the man for wrongly accusing her of being in government funded Food Assistance because she was black the man pulls out his gun and begins to say well the ball and everyone backs up and he runs out the door. And finally in alabama this past thanksgiving holiday twenty one year old black man mantic Fitzgerald Bradford jr did what every card carrying member of the n. R. A. Has told us we are supposed to do during an active shooter situation and have your gun at the ready and try to help as many people as possible this mans reward was getting shot down by the police and then add insult to injury Alabama Law Enforcement initially told the press the bradford junior was the active shooter who had killed two people that day he was and they later had to recant that version of events the mid that they shot the wrong man. So today while we are supposed to weep for lena dunhams hardships and play the latest version of hashtag resistance clue man a fort in the embassy with wiki leaks lets instead look at some real issues facing our society and start watching the hawks. To. Get the. Real that its like. To see. What they like you know that i got. With. This. Because i. Welcome everyone watching the harks i am tired open and im capital alison joining us now from minneapolis minnesota to discuss the latest cases. Guns and police and violence and race as im a civil rights attorney mickey mouse levi fan thank you so much for joining us today became. Thanks for having me so if you want to start with the story of this young somali woman whos teenager who allegedly had a gun flashed at her for what was essentially standing up to a racist a girl an insult hurled at her while she was trying to buy food at mcdonalds and he was this store. Three of the exception were the normal for the Somali Community in minneapolis which is actually quite a Huge Community community in the metro area there. Yes we have the largest population of somalis in the United States right here in minnesota and eden prairie has a high concentration of people who are somali and typically they enjoy their lives just like the average minnesotan but at the same time they also deal with a great deal of prejudice from some racist people here and the incident in mcdonalds in eden prairie minnesota demonstrates just that the young woman was at the counter trying to order her food and a white man mutters something under his breath about her trying to use an card to purchase her food and after that from my understanding he was verbally confronted about his statements and wound up allegedly pulling a gun on somali teens who were in their restaurant and he was ultimately arrested within a day or two of this incident which were glad about no charges have been filed as of yet but the other thing that was really astounding about this incident is the fact that the mag donals manager who was present actually tried to force the teens out of the restaurant after they had said that the man pulled a gun on them so were outraged at how the manager responded to this incident. And were asking actually that she be fired as a result of potentially putting the young people in harms way its terrible now this past november of minnesota actually sent the first the first somali american to the u. S. Congress with the election of the hon omar to the house of representatives how do political leaders like her. Change the culture of this fear and race as im that seems to be happening in these communities. Well i think that you know hahn for many people is a symbol of progress you know she made history by becoming the first somali woman to join the legislature here in minnesota and now being a congresswoman that is a symbol of progress to to some degree however its really going to take the hearts and minds of the people beginning to shift in order for true change in true progress to actually happen there should not be incidents like the one that happened in mcdonalds occurring causing a great deal of fear and trepidation in the Somali Community the folks who are a part of that community should feel comfortable going into a restaurant. Going to school going to any place that we would normally enjoy. And they are feel that theyre under attack in many ways as a result of incidences like these there was even a mosque that had a bomb planted in it maybe within the last year or so here in the twin cities of minnesota and so these incidences happy people on edge and they are trying to stand up for themselves and were also rallying the Larger Community to stand with them and behind them in support of their right to just live and breathe and be a part of our community most definitely and its interesting when you think about tension because its like when you look at a case like the one in milwaukee just next door in wisconsin you know with the rooftop shooting of Jerry Springer junior bergen twenty seventeen is now paralyzed in one of his legs you know the body cam footage that weve seen are clearly shows smiths innocence but apparently that wasnt enough to stop chief Deputy District Attorney kind of love him from declaring the shooting justified even though you had his hands up he was moving. Didnt have a gun do you think the were being oversold the body care in my view is a cure all for Police Violence. You know it specially coming up to the mike brown shooting many years ago i mean i remember every once in a body cams thats the key took many years to release the body of care when theyre still called the shooting justified even though you can clearly see this kid did not deserve to be shot. Absolutely i feel that we have been oversold on the importance of body cameras and the protections that theyre supposed to provide to the average american as a matter of fact when our body camera policy was being pushed pushed through the legislature in minnesota we raised concerns about the fact that it would likely be used as a tool for prosecution of individuals who were caught on a body camera as opposed to being used as a tool to prosecute Police Officers who are engaged in misconduct or who shoot civilians the case of jerry smith shows that we have a significant problem within our Justice System with regard to holding Police Officers accountable when they shoot and kill civilians particularly when those civilians are africanamerican males for whatever reason there is a hyper fear that officers have when it comes to having contact with a young black men and they have a mentality too often of shooting first and asking questions later which leads to the unnecessary deaths of people in situations like gerry smith like mike brown i mean the list goes on and on in terms of young black men whove been shot and killed by police and where there has been absolutely zero accountability we also have a system in which district attorneys rubberstamp Police Misconduct by failing to charge those officers for killing civilians even when those are. Gretas deaths are caught on body camera footage so we have some significant problems right now we have to continue to remain vigilant in terms of pushing for Police Accountability Greater Transparency and body camera policies that strike a balance between Public Safety as well as Police Accountability one of the things ive noticed is that the n. R. A. Is incredibly profoundly silent during these cases in the shooting death of the shooting death of a man to bradford jr on thanksgiving it was reported that he had a permit he was a legal gun owner he was doing exactly what the gentleman in the mall who stepped up to do you know he was sure he was trained to be the good guy with the gun right and of getting shot and we dont see the n. R. A. Doing anything to stand up for him and his rights is this another case like the full and castiel case where theres a different set of rules like the for the Second Amendment only applies to white people apparently im missing something or is that literally i mean it seems like you know owning a gun while black is also another problem why is why is there this guy who i mean its really about i mean its pretty easy to say but i want to hear your thoughts on that. Well i think that part of the problem is that too often we have a false notion of what it means to be american and to live in this country particularly with regard to the experiences of people of color and africanamericans if you look at the black panther party. Nineteen sixtys and seventys once they started patrolling the streets with their guns exercising their Second Amendment right to bear arms they were seen as one of the biggest Public Safety threats to america and they were doing the same thing. That white men routinely do particularly in Southern States but here in minnesota which is also an open carry state and in alabama the state in which e. J. Bradford was killed there is something about this notion of a black man having a gun that sparks fear in the hearts of far too many white people particularly white Police Officers and we have groups like the n. R. A. That is supposed to protect our Second Amendment right to bear arms but in cases in which weve seen black men be killed who are exercising that right the n. R. A. Silence dyment straights volumes in terms of what i would say is their racism we call them out after they failed to stand up for full Lando Castillo and they were their answer has been pitiful you know they have no real justification for failing to advocate on behalf of black men who exercise their right to bear arms and who are gunned down by the police so as far as im concerned the n. R. A. Has zero credibility with regard to protecting the rights of africanamericans who decide to bear arms i couldnt agree with you more i want to thank you for coming on to be always a pleasure having you on the show mckinley both holmes thank you so much for coming on. Thanks for having me all right as we go to break log watchers dont forget to let us know what you think of a topic for coupledom facebook and twitter and see our poll shows that are coming up with a proposal season upon us our own tab wallace cuts the latest move from the diamond industry of the car to americas Trinity Chavez has the latest on the new tech Sexual Harassment so stay tuned to watch the whole. Place called camp sundown camp for people that cant decide and theyre like so vampires. This is like a safe house i guess they dont have to talk about when they go here but thats because we understand our daughter katie was diagnosed with a very rare sun sensitive condition if i get sunburned i heal she does or shell patients when they have problems with the walk to talk to some of the brains that are actually shrinking inside the skull gets taken in the brain still small. The pain is indescribable its feels like a really really bad chemical burn but it goes through your skin in your muscles oh it down to the bone. There is no relief. Were just not to sure this is just over. Its ukraine versus russia again a minor maritime incident on the current strait is said to be anything between a major. International crisis a cheap campaign trick as ukraine theres an election cycle take your pick but one thing is for sure russia is deemed aggressive by the west even when defending its sovereignty. A diamond is forever when the debris was group founded eight hundred eighty eight released their nine hundred forty eight ad campaign containing those words they would turn the diamond and Wedding Industries on its head for over seventy years of course even though seventy percent of the mine diamonds found the world are used for industrial purposes like drill bits its jewelry the Jewelry Market and diamonds that get the most headlines see in told that ad campaign by de beers diamonds were not the most popular precious stones for a wedding and gauge mints it was a stone primarily meant to symbolize wealth and status not love de beers and all that by trading the mythology that a diamond is things stolen to be used in a game brings now as we find ourselves in the midst of the Holiday Season you must also be prepared for engagement season thats right according to status to twenty seventeen the most popular month to get engaged in the United States was december over sixteen percent of us to gauge. How thin in the month of december and our couples out with these seven percent both in november and january you have about thirty per cent of all proposals happening during the holidays so whos get a gauge will courting the pew research and twenty six c. In the median age americans are first getting married is twenty seven for women and twenty nine for men and fifty eight percent of adults who are not married say they would like to be in the future meeting the socalled mo. Lineal generation is the key to future jewel related diamond sales and millennium are not your grandpas diamond buyer so what is a genius and released a report in which thirty thousand consumers sixty countries were polled finding that while sixty percent sixty six percent of all consumers would pay for more sustainable or ethical goods were than seventy three percent of millenniums were willing to pay extra for ethics in sport stated despite the fact that many of those are coming of age or one of the most difficult economic climates in the past one hundred years they continue to be with most willing to pay extra for sustainable offerings almost three out of four respondents that means cruelty Free Cosmetics not tested on animals sustainably produced products Recycled Materials and ethically sourced diamonds which brings us to this scandalous controversial world of cure of culture diamonds and how it could overturn far more than the eighty billion dollar worldwide mined diamond market culture Lab Grown Diamonds are created in a very controlled lab settings using heat pressure and heat and pressure to produce reproduce the natural thousand year process it takes to create a diamond and these Lab Grown Diamonds are fakes that they have the identical chemical make up of a natural diamond same crystal structure same identical optical and physical properties of a natural diamond some experts have even better fooled and for all of those little any else willing to pay more for sustainability well they will actually save thirty to forty percent buying a lab grown cultured diamond which is bad news for deers and the other top Diving Companies because it turns out big diamond has been lobbying capitol hill for quite some time to keep the federal trade commissions jewelry guides from being updated to include Lab Grown Diamonds see for the first time the f. T. C. Federal trade commission to find a diamond as a natural mineral consisting essentially of pure. Carbon crystallise in the eye so symmetric system but after much consideration and science they recently removed the word natural from the description meaning it is now legal in the United States for a Lab Made Diamonds to be marketed as diamonds but if you dont trust me that Lab Created Diamonds or the future maybe youll trust did beer who recently who wanted to its own line of Lab Created Diamonds called lightbox despite the fact that they control over thirty percent of the seven percent of the worlds mined diamond industry from mining to sales but i digress so a diamond is a diamond no matter where it comes from whether its image lab or deep underground and sustainable ethical slavery free diamonds are not only available with cheaper for those of you looking to do the right thing in the name of love this season yes and people should be doing the right thing because why would you want to like if you are ok was it given married you want to buy this diamond for your you know world husband girlfriend whatever future husband future wife why would you want to start off like different. You cause its hard to tell you cannot tell a lot of times where no actually mine diamonds come from and there are i mean theres theres you know we say you know things are numbered now and theres this you know set that was made after the you know the big blood diamond. Leo dicaprio movie or nearly did everyone learned about don imus from we had it caprio what the thing is about that is you cant really tell us a dime and its not always easier for consumer to tell us that diamond is actually whats said were talking about now using blocks to keep databases of garments at the end of the day. Why are we even bother and whats interesting to note was we were talking about this earlier is also that the the engagement market of rings and diamonds and all that is actually not even the big deal with you know the industrial diamonds the amount of blood diamonds that Industrial Services use like kuwait or screw things like that everything and thats i think where we get where its like well i dont buy blood diamond so im not contributing to this problem but according to the u. S. Geological survey seventy percent of mine diamonds are of india industrial quality so literally you know seventy percent of whatever is pulled out of the ground is industrial grade so it would be used for things like sand paper and drill bits but only three percent of those diamonds that are pulled out are actually used for industrial purposes because now ninety seven percent of industrial use diamond diamonds are now lab grown because Lab Grown Diamonds can be manufactured very quickly they dont have to use you know they can be manufactured in large quantities and they could also be specifically tailored to your specific application so thats why dearest went from zero running ninety percent of the diamond market in the eightys to owning thirty seven percent and having to make diamonds in the lab to make up for it because even on the industrial on which was their biggest consumer theyre not getting a good given the impact of you know this this dry for at the cli source products whether that be diamonds or whatever it will take diamonds the example in your research of you from that why do you do this drive actually happening quicker in the diamond business than say like the Oil Industry Going Green yeah yeah you are because its so obvious i mean it requires so much to look at where you have to go you know every single one of these areas where there are these you know the most prolific diamond mines are mostly in conflict areas theyre in worse so any kind of sanctions or anything across the board and also you have to wait right you have to wait or you have to say i need all of this so grow. The lab right now is that they can literally make this stuff with them you know you can grow a lab or environment and last that a week and prices are going to have. Them because then its going to six and they go in the average price per capita it was dropped one to three percent. Since september of this year i mean thats already a drug going into the diamond buying season the biggest season so thats the sort of thing is that what i think is interesting about this story is it takes something that you know you can get a pretty rock it could be exactly what you think it is is still very you know as hard as a diamond which is the strongest strongest stone but millennialism jackson is like ourselves we demand a better quality and not in the sense we demand a certain amount of ethics and i think that that will end up changing the world little by little and getting rid of conflict diamonds a lot quicker by saying ill take science. And just when you thought it was safe to go ride Public Transportation walk through a city and generally have a normal existence and public. Sexual harassers of found a Brand New Technology technologically superior way to be the terrible awful people that they are and ruin your day yes you could call the twenty First Century version of catcalling sexual rousers are now using the i phones air drop the juror to some lewd notes and pictures to unsuspecting commuters taking various forms of Public Transportation in major cities around the world or to americas Trinity Chavez has more. This airdrops feature of allows users to quickly send files like pictures and videos bluetooth or wire its supposed to be more efficient and an effortless way of sharing but the thing is you dont have to disclose a phone number or an email address users just have to be within thirty feet to send something thanks but now strangers are abusing the feature by sending lewd photos many calling it cyber flashing recently there have been reports of people in Public Places like coffee shops stores and transit stations of people receiving sexually explicit or threatening pictures through air drop in illinois several students recently reported that someone airdrop the image of a swastika from somewhere in a High School Auditorium during a traditional excellence ceremony marking it one of the latest displays of hate incidents to occur and the people who are doing this are able to get away with it because air drop doesnt disclose the actual name of the person who is sending the files it only shows the name of their device which can easily be changed to anything in their settings now a person still has to accept an air drop request to receive the actual file but at the same time airdrop gives the user a preview of the file in the notification message and choosing to reject the incriminating picture eliminates any evidence from your phone that you would have had to prove that you were sent something bolder which in turn makes it harder to prove in the first place but there is a way that you could prevent this all from happening by default apple make sure airdrop is only set to receive file transfer requests from people in your contacts so by default youll know where they are drop request is coming from but if you want to take it a step further you can completely turn off your air drop from receiving anything reporting in new york turn it into all of us are to.
