Tottenham beats Watford 2-1 after late Son goal
The 23-year-old still looks lightweight but he was positive on the ball and played some nice passes out to Trippier in particular. Odion Ighalo is certain to stay at Watford beyond the January transfer window, according to captain Troy Deeney.
A grand jury on Monday declined to criminally indict the two officers in Tamir’s killing in November 2014. Today protesters have taken to the streets in Cleveland.
U.S. Congressman Honda says Korea-Japan deal on comfort women
Japanese government sources said they are well aware that South Korean government officials have much work ahead of them. However it is hoped the accord will reverse the decades of distrust between the nations.
Outside the recreation centre, protesters chanted, “No justice, no peace!”. In July, New York Governor Andrew Cuomo signed an executive order that appoints state Attorney General Eric Schneiderman as a special prosecutor in any cases where law enforcement officers are involved in the deaths of unarmed civilians, with an allowance that Schneiderman can also review cases involving armed decedents.

By the time the buzzer rang, Green had contributed 10 points to the Warriors scoreboard and Golden State led the Cavilers 28-19. Trailing by 28 early in the fourth quarter, the Lakers went on a 25-4 run to draw within 89-82 with four minutes left.
Mr Loehmann’s lawyer, Henry Hilow, said the officer carries a heavy burden. Rice also looked older than 12 and his toy gun could not be easily distinguished from a real Colt M1911, officials said.
Following Monday’s announcement about the Rice case, the federal monitoring team that’s overseeing Cleveland’s police force said that it plans to move forward with its efforts to “fundamentally transform” policing in the city.
Members of the Black Lives Matter movement, which is now in its third year, say their aim is to end the killing of African-Americans by police. “Clearly, when you lose a 12-year-old – what more can you say about how tragic it is?”
Tamir’s family condemned the decision but echoed the prosecutor in urging those disappointed to express themselves “peacefully and democratically”.
“Well, I think the injustice that is here starts, one, with the fact that the prosecutor actually didn’t advocate for charges to the grand jury towards the officers that were responsible for the murder of Tamir”. What the Rice family and others like them need is for local prosecutors like McGinty to be recused in cases involving police violence. Even though video shows the police shooting Tamir in less than one second, Prosecutor McGinty hired so-called expert witnesses to try to exonerate the officers and tell the grand jury [that] their conduct was reasonable and justified.
Every now and then, the system surprises us, as in the case of former Oklahoma City police officer Daniel Holtzclaw, recently convicted on four counts of rape after assaulting 13 black women.
In a hearing earlier this week to determine any punishments for Loehmann and his field training officer, it was discovered the 911 call taker did not pass vital information on to the police dispatcher, that the gun could possibly be a fake. So far, there have been just a handful of peaceful protests around the city. Perhaps the most famous example of how those stereotypes were perpetuated came with the 1915 release of “Birth of a Nation”, a post-Civil War film that suggested newly freed brute-like and morally deviant black men would rape and pillage the US without white supremacist rule.
