NYPD Assaults 11-Year-Old in the Bronx -- On Video
07/22/2015 11:08 am ET Updated Jul 22, 2016
Now that the City of New York has settled the Eric Garner case for almost $6 million, we owe a debt of thanks to Mayor Bill de Blasio and Comptroller Scott Stringer for taking responsibility for the racially-disparate police misconduct which has plagued our communities of color for so long. By settling this high-profile case quickly and for a lot of money, they are acknowledging the enormous damage that this misconduct imposes, not just on the victims and their families, but on the fabric of these communities. This is a welcome departure from the practice of previous administrations, which fought meritorious police misconduct lawsuits long and hard.
Eric Garner was grabbed around the neck and wrestled to the ground on suspicion of the minor offense of selling untaxed cigarettes, and for objecting to being touched by the police in an aggressive way that affronted his dignity as a human being. He felt disrespected by the white police officers surrounding him, and he was disrespected, like thousands of men and women, girls and boys, in communities of color throughout this City and country. Because Garner was obese, asthmatic and cardiac-compromised, the indignity and assault he suffered at the hands of the police cost him his life. But in the usual case, where the victim of color is healthy, the injury is not primarily to the body, but to the psyche, the mind, the heart and the human spirit. We should not underestimate that injury in such cases.
Take a look at this video, in which a white male New York City police lieutenant grabbed a 6th grade elementary school student of color -- big for her age but only 11 years old -- around the neck and threw her to the pavement on a Bronx street corner, six months after Eric Garner was wrestled down on a Staten Island pavement. (The video is grainy because it was copied from a surveillance camera onto a phone before the family came to me seeking legal representation; the original surveillance videotape was automatically taped over).
Here's the background. This past February, after school was out for the day, some boys from the school were throwing snowballs at a passing car. When the driver got out to yell at them -- and put one of the boys in a headlock -- his smartphone fell out of his pocket and another boy picked it up. Upon realizing his phone was gone, the driver chased down one of the boys and threatened to call the police if the phone was not returned, and when it was not forthcoming, he did, apparently using someone else's phone.
This 6th grader -- let's call her Angie -- and a classmate were walking from school to the bus stop when they saw some of this. They were bystanders who had nothing to do with either the snowballs or the phone. But as the police arrived, the girls exchanged words as to whether they should stay to watch, or go, and then took off running for a block before stopping.
The driver -- the man in the white jacket with the knapsack in the video -- seeing Angie running, suspected -- wrongly -- that she was part of the group and had his phone. He approached Angie and asked for his phone. She told him she didn't have his phone.
Shortly thereafter, as the video starts, this police lieutenant crossed the street, motioning for Angie to come toward him, which she did. But instead of engaging her verbally and asking her anything, like her name, or about the phone, he grabbed her by the arm and pulled her roughly toward him. Shocked, and scared, we can see her trying to protest, but he does not let go; instead, he escalates the situation, pushing her toward the camera, frightening her even more, and then grabs her around the neck and throws her to the ground, where he rolls her over and rear cuffs her. It was totally unnecessary and gratuitous police violence, borne out of the same disrespect which animated the violence visited upon Mr. Garner. If Angie were white on the Upper East Side rather than Hispanic in the Bronx, would it have happened?
After Angie's arrest (and that of one of the boys), the police quickly determined that she did not have the phone. She was released to her parents. The shopkeeper in front of whose premises Angie was assaulted let her mother copy the video onto her phone.
The arrest was referred to the Family Court's probation department, which supervises an adjustment process that requires the child to attend programs based on an assumption of guilt. Properly thinking that such punishment was not good for a child innocent of any wrongdoing, Angie's parents declined the adjustment process. Thereafter, for months, the case lay dormant without charges, leading them to think that the prosecutor, from the office of the Corporation Counsel of the City of New York, had decided not to prosecute.
Almost three months after the incident, Angie's parents served formal notice on the City that they were going to pursue claims on Angie's behalf of police assault and battery and the use of excessive force, among others. Such claims are defended by the same Corporation Counsel of the City of New York that prosecutes Family Court proceedings after arrests like Angie's. A month after the City acknowledged receipt of such claim, the Corporation Counsel commenced a juvenile delinquency proceeding against Angie, in which this police lieutenant swore under oath that, during a "struggle" with Angie, she "and I both slipped and fell to the ground. On the ground [Angie] continued to flail her arms and thrash her body, preventing me from placing handcuffs on her. We continued to struggle until I was eventually able to place handcuffs on" Angie.
As is obvious from the video, neither he nor Angie slipped on ice -- he grabbed her around the neck and threw her to the floor. Nor did she flail her arms and thrash her body. All she did was take one arm away briefly to wipe the tears from her eye and then put her arm right back again behind her back. This police supervisor's sworn statement appears to be a false statement in official records designed to cover his abusive conduct and defend himself and the City from Angie's claim.
The juvenile delinquency case will be dismissed in six months. But the impact of all this on Angie will endure far longer. Her parents report that she now talks and cries in her sleep, and sometimes sleep walks. She is scared of and avoids the police. She does not want to think about or talk about what happened to her. She stays home more, does not like to go outside, and her relationships with friends have changed as she has become more withdrawn.
This is the kind of psychic injury, of damage to the human spirit, that many adults as well as children suffer when they are the victims of police misconduct like this. Will the mayor and the comptroller step up and acknowledge responsibility for this kind of police misconduct not resulting in death when, as in this case, it is clearly established?

Topanga's Husband Finds Shrimp Tails in Cereal
Disney+ is raising its subscription prices… Rebel Wilson injured in London biking accident… Mike Tyson says Evander Holyfield fight is on… Lizzo kisses mystery man in Malibu… and Topanga's husband finds shrimp tails in cereal
Listen to "Showbiz – Mar 24, 2021" on Spreaker.
Prices for Disney+ are going up. The basic plan currently costs $6.99/month, but starting Friday, that goes up a buck. If you get the Disney Bundle — that's Disney+, ESPN+, and ad-supported Hulu – that also goes up a dollar to $13.99/month. If you don't want ads on Hulu, that bundle also goes up a dollar to $19.99/month. And the Disney+ one-year membership fee is going up $10 to $79.99. Meantime, starting April 1 — and no, this isn't an April Fools joke — "The Nanny" will begin streaming for the first time every on HBO Max.

Rebel Wilson was injured this week and the evidence shows it could have been Part-Time Justin's fault. Was Part-Time Justin in London this week? Rebel posted a picture of her foot propped up with an ice pack on it. She captioned it "(BLANK) people who don't have their dogs on the lead (that's means leash) and let them run onto the road!!" Then, she posted footage of her bike ride through London before she got hurt, captioning it, "But 20 minutes earlier before the accident I was cycling great!!"

On Monday, Evander Holyfield's camp said negotiations had broken down and that there would be no fight with Mike Tyson. Apparently, a $25M guarantee wasn't enough for Mike. But something must've happened since then because Mike was on IG Live yesterday and said, "I just want everybody to know the fight is on with me and Holyfield." He added, "Holyfield's a humble man I know that and he's a man of God but I'm God's man. Listen, I'm going to be successful May 29." The fight is set to take place at the Hard Rock Stadium in Miami.

A photographer caught photos of Lizzo with some mystery man on the balcony a mansion in Malibu over the weekend. We don't know who he is YET. You can see his face very clearly, so it's only a matter of time. While they seemed to be fairly intimate — they had their arms around each other's waists and she put his braids into a ponytail — they weren't exactly making out. And then later, Lizzo posted photos of herself half naked on Instagram, slapping her booty and captioning them, "Single" with a winking emoji.

Who is Jensen Karp? According to Wikipedia, Jensen "is an American writer, comedian, producer, podcast host, art gallery owner, actor, radio personality and former rapper raised in Calabasas, California. Previously known by his stage name Hot Karl, he signed a million dollar record deal with Interscope in his early-20s and has gone on to produce and write for television and radio." Oh, and he's also married to Topanga from "Boy Meets World." So on Monday, Jensen tweeted at Cinnamon Toast Crunch, "Ummmm @CTCSquares – why are there shrimp tails in my cereal? (This is not a bit)" and then he looped in General Mills, as well, saying, "I'm genuinely nervous I will never eat (or sleep) again without answers." Cinnamon Toast Crunch apologized, asked for more details and offered to send him another box. But upon looking at the photos of what are obviously cinnamon-coated shrimp tails, Cinnamon Toast Crunch responded that no, those were not shrimp tails. They said, "It appears to be an accumulation of the cinnamon sugar that sometimes can occur when ingredients aren't thoroughly blended. We assure you that there's no possibility of cross contamination with shrimp." Jensen HAD it, tweeting back, "…These are cinnamon coated SHRIMP TAILS, you weirdos. I wasn't all that mad until you now tried to gaslight me?" Now the thing is, this was one of those double-bag boxes of cereal you get at Costco, so Jensen went and searched a little deeper. He then found some black things baked into some of the cinnamon squares and his wife — DANIELLE FISCHER!! — searched the other bag — which appeared to be taped up — and it included what looked like dental floss!!! What Jensen's followers have surmised is this: A rat got into a bag of dry mix and nested, leaving behind the shrimp and string — things it was collecting — and then the little things baked into the cereal are rat poop!! Meantime, Cinnamon Toast Crunch is asking Jensen to be home for a 3-4 hour window today so they can send a FedEx envelope to him to have the shrimp mailed back to them. Jensen has now decided he's not giving them ANYTHING, saying, "Your tweet calling it sugar was super weird and the fact that you haven't said anything to the contrary doesn't allow me to trust you with it at all." Cinnamon Toast Crunch said, "If you are unwilling to send the items and cereal packaging to us, please provide the items to your local law enforcement. This may be product tampering and we need the opportunity to investigate the packaging." They also issued a statement saying, "…Any consumers who notice their cereal box or bag has been tampered with, such as the clear tape that was found in this case, should contact us…." Meantime, Jensen took the cereal to a lab for DNA testing. And in all seriousness, he said he would've never taken this to Twitter if the company had handled this properly. He tweeted, "… their initial reaction to shellfish being in the bag was to tell me it was sugar. Not to investigate the issue or look into it. It's a deadly allergy to many (and non-Kosher) and that didn't seem to matter beyond offering me a new box."

"There can be no real growth without healthy populations. No sustainable development without tackling disease and malnutrition. No international security without assisting crisis-ridden countries. And no hope for the spread of freedom, democracy and human dignity unless we treat health as a basic human right"
- Gro Harlem Brundtland
(Former Prime Minister of Norway and an international personality in sustainable development and public health.)
The above citation rightly points out the importance of proper health care system in a society. Public wellness is primal to 21st century health care and parts the same overall objectives as the other health care arrangements, that is, bringing down premature decease and belittling the consequences of disease, impairment, and trauma. After all, the primary intention of public wellness is to push for a more salubrious population. This is a perfect example to a sustainable health care arrangement, and also offers economical and societal welfare for the state, due in part to amplified productiveness.
The southern state of Tamil Nadu is notable for its world-class health care system extended to the population. The Government of Tamil Nadu is committed in building a healthy population, thus building a healthy society. It is significant to mention that the various health care initiatives and schemes by the government are only intended to make health care available to all classes of people but providing superior quality health care at affordable cost is the supreme objective.
Matching world-class facilities and latest advancements, the Government of Tamil Nadu extends preventive, remedial and promotive health care to all classes of the society at affordable cost. The primary focus of the public health bodies is 'prevention is better than cure' and the Government of Tamil Nadu covers the wellness needs of masses at large rather than individuals. Furthermore, the state strongly believes that healthiness of the society bids a crucial role in the all round development of the state.
A Lancet report (World's leading general medical journal ) expressed that Tamil Nadu's model of low-priced health care delivery can serve as an example for other states
Several leading journals and medical organizations acclaimed Tamil Nadu's affordable health care model that considerably decreased infant mortality rate and maternal mortality
World Health Organization's representative in India Dr Nata Menabde expressed that Tamil Nadu's health care is a role model to the world

As per the vital health indicators, Tamil Nadu is a leader among the various states in the country, in terms of health care. The southern state is progressing in a steady pace as an effective health care model for the other states in India, especially for maternal health care and childcare. It is officially reported that 99.8 percent of childbirth in Tamil Nadu are conducted in establishments by highly qualified and trained professionals. The state has also accomplished respectable success in addressing communicable diseases like Poliomyelitis (polio), Hansen's disease (leprosy) and T.B (tuberculosis).
The considerable advancement in the obliteration of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV/AIDS) is also notable. The Tamil Nadu State AIDS Control Society (TANSACS) is fully committed and working towards the landmark of making the state as no-new-infection reported and a AIDS free. On the other hand, the Department of Health and Family Welfare of Tamil Nadu is also focusing on certain non-communicable diseases (NCDs) like polygenic disease of diabetes, common disorder of high blood pressure, cardiovascular diseases and cancer which are coming forth as primary reasons behind morbidity and mortality in the state. In order to tackle these menacing diseases, the official health care body is following a two pronged scheme that include

Tamil Medicine
Popularly called as Siddha medicine, Tamil medicine is regarded as the oldest medical system known to human race. Siddha medicine is accounted to have come up more than 10,000 years ago. Ancient siddhargal were the principal masterminds of this medicine system. Sage Agathiyar (Agasthya Mamunivar) is regarded as the leader of all Siddhas, and the Siddha medicine system is considered to have been taught to him by the Tamil god Lord Muruga (son of Lord Siva and Goddess Parvathi).
Agathiya munivar along with many siddhars made hundreds of thousands of works on Tamil medicine. In some respects, Tamil medicine or Siddha medicine intends that singular medicine system that is complete in every way. The ancient medicine system is supposed to rectify and restore nonadaptive human organs that induce the disease and to preserve the balance of Dosha Vaadham, Pitham and Kabam. The siddha medicine system afforded to practicians includes herbs, fruits, flowers and several roots in a blended basis.
In a few extraordinary cases, siddha medicine system advises the patient to take the usual siddha medicine along with paspam of the gold. Today, most of the practicing Siddha medical practitioners in Tamil Nadu are traditionally educated, generally in families and by teachers. It is important to note that the Government of Tamil Nadu offers a 5.5-year special educational course in Siddha medicine which is called as Bachelor in Siddha Medicine and Surgery (BSMS).
Both the state and central government dedicates its interest in Siddha medicine system, by opening education and research institutions like Palayamkottai Government Siddha Medical College, Central Council for Research in Siddha, Chennai National Institute of Siddha, Chennai Government Siddha Medical College and so on.

Abu Dhabi beaches Travel Guide
Basking on an island flanked by bath temperature Gulf waters and white sandy beaches, the city of Abu Dhabi's resort credentials speak for themselves.
Beach:
Whether you want to soak up the sun's rays, take a dip in the Persian Gulf or indulge in myriad watersports, including sailing, windsurfing and jet skiing, the best place to do this on one of the private stretches of beach that belong to Abu Dhabi's resort hotels. Public beaches are thin on the ground and typically don't have any facilities, although the busy Khalidiya Beach is a reasonable option.
Beyond the beach:
Appreciate Abu Dhabi's dramatic setting as you amble along the striking Corniche. Admire the 19th century Qasr Al-Hosn Palace (Old Fort) and the triple-domed roof and minarets of the Grand Mosque, as well as the shimmering glass and steel skyscrapers that dominate the city's skyline. Take respite from the beating mid-summer sun in leafy landscaped parks, or air-conditioned shopping malls.
Family fun:
Abu Dhabi's upmarket hotels were constructed with families firmly in mind. They typically have at least two swimming pools, as well as a host of water and land based recreational facilities. If you can drag the kids away from the pool, beach or tennis courts, hotels also boast child-friendly restaurants and babysitting services.
Exploring further:
In an Emirate renowned for the height of its sand dunes, a dune-bashing trip in the Liwa Oasis should not be missed. Enjoy the thrill of careering through the dunes from the comfort of an air-conditioned 4-wheel drive, safe in the company of an experienced driver.

June 13, 2018 June 13, 2018 Abigail's Tales5 Comments
All in all, I was majorly impressed with Flame in the Mist. I remember liking The Wrath and the Dawn and The Rose and the Dagger when I read them last summer, but I wasn't enthralled by them. That is not the story for this one.
I will take any and all re-imaginings of Disney movies. I know this book isn't meant to be an explicit retelling, but there's no denying it's similar to Mulan (yes, I know the story of Mulan is older and more than just Disney, but that's what I am familiar with). Regardless, Flame in the Mist is undeniably its own story. There are similarities, but only because it's a similar plotline in a similar world. In some ways, I was more intrigued by Mariko's desire to find out why she was nearly murdered than Mulan's desire to save her father from war. It was a more intrinsic motivation that left more room for personal growth and change that Ahdieh utilized to its full advantage.
I absolutely adore Ahdieh's worldbuilding. Because she uses real civilizations and cultures for the basis of her stories, she includes all the traditional words and other cultural signs to indicate that the world is not the typical Western one. The diversity is wonderful, and Ahdieh doesn't let you get away with not learning something about the cultures her novels are based on. In both Flame in the Mist and The Wrath and the Dawn, especially Flame in the Mist, I started off a little confused about the magic system. It doesn't really play a central role to this story, but it is mentioned as being a driver of the plot in small ways, so I feel like I would understand more of what was going on if there were some hints at how it works. I know it's not essential since it isn't a story about magic, but I still don't understand where it comes from and what its overall purpose is. Also, there's no mention of how magic is perceived in society, which seems odd to me. It makes the world fall just a little short of believable. People clearly know how to use some types of magic, but there's no indication if they're doing it secretly because it's taboo or if it's accepted but not encouraged or if it's something everyone is aware of but turns a blind eye to. These are the things I like to know so that I have some gauge of what magic is like in the novel.
As for the plot itself, it kept throwing me for a loop. I often find myself predicting where plotlines will go, especially in fantasy novels, so I was really impressed that I was shocked with at least 2 plot twists. I think a lot of it has to do with Mariko being unpredictable, which I'm not entirely sure is a good thing, but I'll get to that in a bit. I was really surprised that we get thrown straight into the action by the end of the first chapter. Again, I'm don't really know how I feel about that. Sure, it got me hooked right away, but I think I prefer knowing a bit more about the world and what's going on more generally before the action starts. I guess I'm just an exposition kind of person.
Now, I really wanted to like Mariko. She has a lot of potential to be a super badass feminist, and in a lot of ways, she is. She defies expectations and questions why things are the way they are for her. But she still has this idea of what it is to be a woman and that she has to be something different. It's a very "I'm not like other girls" kind of feeling which drives me nuts. And it's this way for most of the book. She seems to learn by the end that not everyone has to be like her to be independent, but I'm not convinced she has really gotten over the idea that she's superior because she's different. She's getting there, but I think she still has a ways to go. I also found a lot of Mariko's thoughts to be a little too repetitive. Every chapter for the first half of the book, it's "I feel like I fit in here, but I can't begin to like it because they tried to kill me" and "I hate Okami and Ranmaru but they don't seem that bad." It gets a little boring, okay? I get it, you're conflicted. Please show me how you're overcoming that conflict, what you're doing to make a change, instead of just telling me about it. This conflict made it hard for me to understand what Mariko was going to do next, which kept me on my toes but also prevented me from really connecting with her. Her actions and beliefs are inconsistent and not just because she was learning and growing as a character; she just seemed fickle, and not in an endearing way. Despite all the shortfalls I found with her character, I was still 110% invested in her story. I wanted her to get everything she wanted while still doing the right thing.
For as indecisive as she is in taking action, Mariko acts immediately on her romantic interest, who I won't name for spoiler reasons (mostly because this is one of the things that surprised me). She just jumps right in, which is refreshing because for once she seems to know what she wants, but I also found it a little odd, particularly because, once again, there's no lead up into how she feels. One second she is adamant how much she hates him, the next she's making out with him. I'm all for the enemies-to-lovers tropes, believe me, but I like seeing that change happen over time (I've talked about this before with Children of Blood and Bone), and it just wasn't there with Mariko. There's no progress, no points where you can really say, "Oh, this is around where her thoughts on him changed." For me, it makes for an unimpressive and frankly unappealing take on the trope.
Although I had some issues with the characterizations, I was wholly entranced by Flame in the Mist. The plot and intrigue made up for nearly all of the shortcomings in the characters. Although I do tend to prefer novels that are equally character- and plot-driven, I found myself being totally content with this book being plot-driven. I loved it far more than anticipated.
What did you think of Flame in the Mist? Do you prefer it to The Wrath and the Dawn? What are your predictions for Smoke in the Sun?

Siobhan @ Novelties says:
So glad you like it. I'm just started reading the sequel, and it's good.
Excellent review! Sounds like the world-building and plot really kept you engaged despite the inconsistent MC, which I always find encouraging. 🙂
Tyv Reed (Ynnah) says:
I think the enemies-turned-lovers in The Wrath and The Dawn also changed like overnight? I mean, like what you described on this one (I haven't read it), one second they were enemies and then the next they were lovers. Maybe that's just how Renee Ahdieh writes? Hahahaha.
You may be right. I can't really remember how it happened in The Wrath and the Dawn, but it definitely didn't stick out to me as much as it did in this one. But maybe I'm also just more aware of it now than I was a year ago.
