“Will there ever be a time when black women can unapologetically show that they are strong proud and supportive of one another without their action being interpreted as an act of militant defiance?” Essence magazine editor-in-chief Vanessa De Luca asked in a Wall Street Journal op-ed this week.
Indeed, Caslen noted that other cadets have used clenched fists to show support for a team or pride at serving their country. So did he, along with hundreds of West Point staffers and graduates on the night before last year’s Army-Navy football game, he added.

F.B.I. Director Says ‘Viral Video Effect’ Blunts Police Work – The New York Times
James Comey said he believed that “lots and lots of officers” were not engaging in confrontations with suspects out of fear of being videotaped.

If that is his position he is not qualified to lead let alone be emplyed in law enforcement. If cops are afraid to be caught doing something wrong in the course of going abut their job then they should stop doing things wrong, not stop doing their job. Anything else should be grounds for dismissal.

The Citadel will not allow an exception to the uniform to let a Muslim student wear her hijab
The uniform is traditional, and central to the ideals of the nearly 175-year-old public military college in South Carolina, so the fact that it was considering an exception to it for an accepted student set off shock waves among alumni. The idea pleased some in the close-knit corps, who felt it could be an important symbol of religious freedom and inclusiveness. But it upset others who felt it would clash with the mission and ideals of the Citadel, where loyalty, teamwork and uniformity are paramount.

Ivy League economist ethnically profiled, interrogated for doing math on American Airlines flight – The Washington Post
Move over, Clock Boy. Another swarthy-looking nerd is alarming the authorities.
The woman who started this and any American Airlines employees who participated in this dangerous farce should be in jail.
Passengers depend on the flight staff for sound judgement to keep them safe. Clearly American Airlines is not qualified to carry that responsibility.
What’s next, being pulled off a plane for refusing to chat with your seatmate?
For a child’s obnoxious music T-shirt?
For being educated in things your fellow passengers are not?

Obama commutes sentences of 58 non-violent drug convicts
“It just doesn’t make sense to require a non-violent drug offender to serve 20 years, or in some cases, life, in prison,” Obama said in a blog post.
Many of the convicts had been serving time for crack cocaine. Crack users have for years faced far steeper penalties than users of powder cocaine, even though the two substances are molecularly similar. Critics have said the disparity has unfairly hurt poor African-American communities.
Obama has pushed to reform the U.S. criminal justice system to reduce the number of people serving long sentences for such crimes, and it is one of the few issues for which the Democratic president has received support from Republican lawmakers.

‘Cement shoes’ found on NYC corpse
A body found on a Brooklyn beach earlier this week had feet that were encased in hardened concrete, according to NYPD detectives.
“Cement shoes” as they are known, have long been associated with organised crime and the Mafia, but mostly in fictional depictions.
…But whoever did it failed to wait for the cement to fully dry. It was filled with air bubbles, which may have been what caused the body to come ashore.
