Florida Police Officer the 3rd Killed Over the Weekend

By Anonymous -
Flowers are placed on a police car near the scene of the shooting of Officer Charles Kondek in Tarpon Springs, Fla. on Sunday, Dec. 21, 2014. Kondek, a 17-year veteran of the local police department and originally from New York, was shot and killed in Tarpon Springs early Sunday responding to a call shortly after 2 a.m.
The third killing of a police officer in two days has sent stunned cops onto social media to express their condolences to the Tarpon Springs Police Department in Florida, which lost an officer early this morning in the line of duty.

A male officer was shot and killed about 3 a.m. at a condominium complex on Grand Boulevard, according to the Pinellas County Sheriff’s Department. A suspect is in custody, but no other details about what happened have been released. Yesterday, two NYPD officers were killed, apparently by a man who then killed himself after bragging on social media that he intended to kill cops.

In Massachusetts, the Hanover Police Department, tweeting the hashtag #PoliceLivesMatter, posted today, “Our thoughts & prayers with the Tarpon Springs PD (FL) & the family of the Fallen Officer.”

Wakefield Police tweeted, “Out(sic) thoughts and prayers to the Tarpon Springs Florida PD and the family of thier(sic) officer who was killed in the line of duty overnight.”

“Our condolences also go out to the Tarpon Springs, Florida Police Dept and the family and friends of the slain officer. RIP brother,” Salisbury police tweeted.

The fatal Tarpon shooting occurred less than a day after New York City Police Officers Rafael Ramos and Wenjian Liu were executed in their squad car by Ismaaiyl Brinsley. Authorities said Brinsley, who committed suicide soon after the double homicide, published anti-police posts on the Instagram account of a former girlfriend he shot and wounded yesterday in Baltimore that read, “I’m putting wings on pigs today. They take 1 of ours, let’s take 2 of theirs.”

The postings included hashtags that referred to Eric Garner and Michael Brown, two black men whose deaths while unarmed at the hands of white police in New York and Ferguson, Mo., sparked protests across the country, including several in Boston.

FOX NEWS HOST REFUSES TO BOARD PLANE WITH BLACK FEMALE PILOT

By Anonymous -
conservative commentator and author Ann Coulter has lost her mind! She refused to stay on board a Miami to New York flight after learning the pilot was a Black woman. According to witnesses, Coulter was concerned the experienced, decorated pilot may have gained her position as a result of affirmative action and wasn’t fully qualified to fly. The incident began when Coulter boarded the American Airlines flight and took up her first class seat. After a trip to the bathroom, she noticed the pilot was a black woman and became immediately distraught. According to passengers, at that point Coulter stood at the front of the cabin and began screaming her concerns to the entire flight as they finished boarding. “Aw come on people, a black woman flying a plane? You know she got that job through affirmative action. Am I the only one worried about this? I mean hello? Our lives are at stake here…” The confused passengers weren’t sure what to make of Coulter’s outburst, and rema...

After pouring thousands of dollars into her decrepit house, Tocco Collins made the heartbreaking discovery that she had been seriously scammed. The mother of 12 had waited patiently for her landlords to deliver on their promises to fix the house’s holes, broken windows and burned out light box, CBS Atlanta reports. But after seven months, Collins learned that the phonies she had been paying $600 a month in rent didn’t own the home and had also skipped town. The actual owner had no idea her home was being rented out. “Step by step, I’m trying to make some effort,” Collins told the news outlet. “Right now I’m lost.” The Atlanta mother and her children are now homeless. They’re also at risk of getting broken up by child services, a devastating fate that do-gooders are trying to prevent. Members of Occupy Atlanta are raising money for the family to buy a new home, and volunteers said they would help renovate the new residence after it’s secured. Getting duped by a ...
