retake it from isil. the u.s. has also launched airstrikes and is reportedly considering speeding arms deliveries to iraqi militias in anbar province. the u.n. says it needs more time to bring aid to areas of yemen following the end of a five-day truce. a u.n. spokesperson said only half of the proposed supplies were delivered before saudi strikes resumed sunday. >> the humanitarian cause was not large enough to reach those in need of food and there is an appeal for a series of breaks in the conflict to deliver this aid. amy: the u.n. says yemen has only been able to import one-tenth of the fuel it needs each month. more than 1,800 people have died in yemen's conflict so far. israel has canceled an order to

sergeant james brown was just 26 years old when he mysteriously died in 2012 after he reported to jail for a two-day sentence for driving while intoxicated. brown, who is african-american was suffering from post-traumatic stress disorder at the time. his family had long suspected foul play in his death, but received little information from authorities, who said he died because of a pre-existing medical condition. well, a local news station, kfox 14, recently obtained video from inside the jail showing brown's last moments sparking new -- moments. amy: the video shows something happened which caused brown to bleed in his cell. when he refuses to speak with guards, a team in riot gear storms in and swarms on top of him, while he repeatedly says he can't breathe, and appears not to resist. a warning to our audience the , following video is disturbing.
sergeant brown: i can't breathe. help me. help me. i can't breathe. help me. i am choking on blood. i am choking on my blood. amy: "i am choking on my blood" said sergeant james brown as his condition deteriorates, as he is carried to an infirmary and has a mask placed over his face. he's then given an injection. he begs for water and is given half a dixie cup as he heaves.
sergeant brown repeatedly states he's having severe trouble breathing. sergeant brown: not getting too much air. may i lay on the floor? >> no, sir. sergeant brown: we have to do one or the other to help my breathing. >> column down. sergeant brown: i will. please. please. can't relax. you have to take this mask off
of me, please. juan: by the end of the video, brown has said he can't breathe at least 20 times. then, he is left naked in a cell, not blinking or responding, his breathing shallow. attorneys say an ambulance was never called. brown was eventually brought to a hospital, where he was pronounced dead. authorities claim he died from natural causes after an autopsy report cited a "sickle cell crisis," but his family says he died as a result of his treatment in jail. their attorney b.j. crow spoke to kfox. mr. crow: when a 26-year-old checks into jail on a friday and he leaves sunday in a casket, something went horribly wrong. he was breathing out of the years, the nose, the mouth -- his kidneys shut down, his blood pressure dropped and shut down. amy: james brown's family has
filed a lawsuit against el paso county saying his constitutional rights were violated. democracy now! invited el paso county sheriff richard wiles to join us on our program, but he declined. he did send a statement saying "mr. brown's death was an unfortunate tragedy. the sheriff's office has conducted a thorough review of the facts surrounding mr. brown's death and, based upon all the evidence obtained, determined that his death was caused by a pre-existing medical condition." well, for more, we go now to seattle, washington, where we're joined by sgt. james brown's mother, dinetta scott. welcome to democracy now! welcome -- can you explain the video -- the death occurred in 2012. it is now 2015. tell us the significance of what you know now. dinetta: i have not watched this
video in its entirety. i have seen four seconds of it, and i heard my son begging for his life. i cannot watch it. i do know that it is very disturbing, the part that i did see where he is unable to breathe. it is devastating. it is inhumane. it is unexplainable, what happened to him. juan: were you ever told by authorities that the video existed and why it has never come to light or been made public since then? dinetta: no. that was never explained to us. juan: and in terms of the autopsy report, did authorities -- what did they tell you about how your son died? dinetta: the medical examiner
stated that it was a sickle cell crisis due to him being restrained, that is why he went into a sickle cell crisis. he stated that he had viewed this on the video. that is when we said a video exists? we would like that video. nothing ever came of that until two and a half years later, which is where we are at now. amy: the video is just astonishing, but can you go back to 2012? did you talk to your son before he self-reported into the jail? he was stopped for dui and he was going to be held for two nights. dinetta: correct. he received a dui in 2011. he had continuously gone to
court. when he got his sentencing it was five days with time served. since he already served three days one day picked him up, -- three days when they originally picked him up, he only had to do the weekend. i spoke to him prior to him checking in on that friday night and then i received a call from him saturday morning stating that the jailers had said he would have to stay in incarcerated for seven days instead of the initial two days and he said could you please send money so that i can pay the court finds so i can leave here because i need to report to duty on monday. juan: now, he had already served two tours in iraq and he was still on active duty? dinetta: correct. juan: and when was he diagnosed with post-traumatic stress? dinetta: i believe it was the
beginning of 2011. amy: did he talk to you about the conditions in the jail? dinetta: no, he just basically said he needed to get out of there and could i please get the money so that he could leave and that you explain everything to me when he got out. amy: can you describe your son, sergeant james brown, to us? dinetta: excuse me. he was a jokester. he was very confident. a natural born leader. loyal to no-fault. a loving person. either you like him or you did not.
he did not really care what people thought of him. he just was a loving kind of guy. one of a kind. i am not saying that just because he is my son. he just was a genuine person. he did not sugarcoat things and he did not lie to you. if you wanted to know the truth that is the person that you would ask, and many of his friends said if you wanted somebody to have your back, he wanted james brown to have your back. juan: and the terrible irony of him coming back from serving his country twice in iraq to end dead in a cell in el paso texas. dinetta: in that video i heard my son begging for his life on
u.s. soil. this was not his enemy that he was facing. this was a u.s. citizen that was treating him like he was an animal, and it should not be allowed. that should not happen to anyone in the united states. amy: we were just showing pictures of james. how many kids does he have? dinetta: two. amy: how old are his children? dinetta: his stepson armani is 12. his daughter is five. amy: when did he join the military? dinetta: in 2005. amy: was it right out of high school? dinetta: no. he graduated in 2004. he was in a motorcycle accident in 2003, which he had to have a rod put in his femur, so he
opted to wait a year to have the rod removed so that he could join the military. his joining was delayed. juan: in the past year or two we have seen this enormous growth of the black lines matter movement as a result of what has -- lives matter movement as a result of what has happened in ferguson, cleveland, and african-americans killed in custody. your son died almost three years ago. your sense of the connection of this movement that has grown up in the united states in the last two years. dinetta: i believe it -- race is not an issue. i believe it is men that have been given a certain amount of authority who are abusing it. it is very unfortunate that all
of the victims have been african-americans, but this lies within our system. these are people that are abusing their authority and using it inappropriately. amy: finally dinetta scott what has happened to these guards? one, the pylon in the cell, and then the mask put over him -- he is saying he can't breathe, that he is choking on his own blood -- what happened to all of these guards? dinetta: absolutely nothing. amy: i want to play one clip for you. kfox 14 interviewed one of the last people to see sergeant brown alive -- a fellow inmate who spoke on the condition of anonymity.
>> i did not do nothing. i was keeping my mouth shut. they took into a room in front of us. when they were bringing him out a guard gave him -- i do not know what the shot is called. they gave him a shot and he collapsed. when he collapsed, that is when they jumped on him, and they kind of beat him up. he was out. he was already out, on conscience. they were putting their elbow on his neck. you could snap somebody's neck like that. they picked him up and dragged him out. amy: so, that was a fellow prisoner who spoke on a conditioner of anonymity.
dinetta scott, can you describe about what he said about what happened to your son, james brown? dinetta: it is inexcusable. they all need to be held accountable about what they did to my son. the sheriff made a statement that my son died of natural causes. there was nothing natural about the way my son died. they never should have went in that cell. they never should have pulled him out. if there was a problem, they should have contacted the military, mental health, someone that was able to deal with him instead of rushing him like that and attacking him and beating him when he is down and cannot defend himself. it is unacceptable. amy: what are you asking for in the lawsuit? dinetta: i want change.
i want policy and procedures put in place that will protect our soldiers when they are in public facilities -- that the military stepped in and take accountability for their soldiers. these are men that they trained. they should never be put in the hands of civilians because civilians live one life and soldiers live another life. they need to be dealt with by soldiers. policies need to be put in place that when an end this incident happens in a public facility they need to go in and investigate instead of taking the word of the institution. they need to find out what happened to their soldier and if they have a liaison in place they would already know what went wrong, when it went wrong, or whatever the case may be. i believe if my son would have
had a representative from the military with him every step of the way, we would not be here today. amy: one last question. do we know what your son was injected with? in the video we see him injected at least once by the guards. dinetta: according to the report, it was tell it all -- a combination. i am not sure on the exact amount given to him, but according to the jail report that is what they stated they gave him. amy: dinetta scott, thank you for being with us, mother of sergeant james brown. sergeant james brown died after being in jail in 2012. he served two tours of duty in iraq. he was on active duty at the time.
do black women's lives matter? that is the question being raised by a group of people around the country. those that have lost loved ones -- black women at the hands of authorities, police. stay with us. ♪ [music break]
amy: nina simone singing
"strange fruit. here on democracynow, democracynow.org, the war and peace report, i am amy goodman along with juan gonzalez. juan: as the black lives matter movement grows across the country, the names of michael brown, eric garner, tamir rice and freddie gray have become household names. all died at the hands of local police sparking waves of protest. during this time far less attention has been paid to women who have been killed by law enforcement. women like tanisha anderson, rekia boyd, miriam carey michelle cusseaux, shelly frey and kayla moore. well, today a say her name vigil is being organized in new york to remember these and other women. amy: with us today are three guests who will be remembering at the vigil. frances garrett is the mother of michelle cusseaux who was killed in 2014 at close range by a phoenix police officer who had been called to take the
50-year-old woman to a mental health facility. martinez sutton is the brother of rekia boyd who was was fatally shot last month by an off-duty police officer in chicago in 2012. also with us is kimberle crenshaw is professor of law at ucla and columbia university and founder of the african american policy forum. she's the co-author of this new report. the group is releasing a report today titled "police brutality against black women." professor, let's start with you. lay out what it is that you have found. kimberle: we have known there has been a problem with -- police brutality for decades and over the past year, as we were talking about just now, there has been a movement that has grown in response to it and there are certain frames which we understand -- the driving while black mike brown being seen as literally a monster, and that just of as the excessive force used against him.
what we know less about is how black women have experienced police brutality and during this period that we have been marching around police brutality, there has been a study of the number of women that have been killed and we have not known their names understood their circumstances. so, the report was basically an effort to literally lift up the names of people to recognize that black people experience police brutality and many of the same ways that black men do, and also in some ways that are different. many of the cases involve police literally coming into people's homes, their bedrooms, and actually killing them. it is important that if we understand the names that we repeat the stories that we repeat help us think about how to broaden the demands against police quality, we have to include women so that some of
the interventions extend to the way women are also vulnerable to police brutality. juan: whitey think there has been such little attention or publicity on the women that have been -- why do you think there has been such little attention or publicity on the women? kimberle: there are a couple of reasons. then, in general, are killed more, but women are killed. the frames we have are not frames that are gendered as female. we understand police brutality largely to the traditional flame -- frame of state-sponsored lynching and we understand lynching as extrajudicial efforts to restrain and repress black masculinity. it is also true that throughout history black women have been lynched and subject to other kinds of racial violence like rape and sexual abuse, and we are finding not only are black
women killed by police, they are also subject to some of these same historical problems. there are went -- they are women that many people do not believe then many do not see is vulnerable or they are not empathized with. that prompts a coercive or violent response to them, or an effort to abuse them knowing no one will believe them. amy: well, last year, just days after michael brown was shot in ferguson missouri, michelle cusseaux was shot and killed close range by a police officer who had been called to take her to a mental facility. sergeant percy dupra claims she threatened him with a hammer. her family joined supporters the week after her death in marching
her casket from phoenix city hall to the u.s. attorney's office to call for an outside investigation. >> this is for michelle. this is for michelle. this is for michelle. this is for michelle. juan: phoenix police say they are now creating a crisis-intervention squad to respond to calls involving the mentally ill. in a minute we will be joined by michelle cusseaux's mother frances garrett. amy: and as we talk about this, just to be clear and fran garrett is with us now, your daughter was killed just after michael brown was killed. frances: that is correct. amy: talk about what happened to your daughter. frances: well, from what i understand -- i was in california at the time. michelle -- i had spoken with michelle's caseworker earlier
that morning. michelle allegedly, had called the -- phoned down to the mental health behavioral health center, and had threatened them because of her treatment and transportation had somehow not arrived. so, she was somewhat upset. i had spoke with her case manager that morning. i thought everything had been resolved. i spoke with michelle. no one at that time had ever said that they were sending out an order to pick michelle up. later on that morning, i -- let me rewind this. i was in california for a suitability hearing. i had lost a son to a drive-by years prior to this and that is what had sent michelle on a spiral downhill with her mental health issues.
so, i had spoken with michelle that morning and i had let her know that i had for given the young man and to accept his apology. michelle said she also had for given him for taking her brothers life. -- brother's life and she said she forgave him and accepted his apology. one of our lady -- later michelle was killed by the phoenix police department. my daughter -- she was a very caring person. she had mental health issues. she also went back to school and became a peer to help others such as herself. from what i understand, after pickup orders had been given for the police to go up -- go out and pick michelle up to bring her back in and get her on medication -- the officers who
first arrived had things under control. at some point, michelle was inside. her door was opened when she appeared. her front door was open with the screen locked and michelle had let them know that she was ok. i guess they were there doing a wellness check. michelle said she was ok and just go away. at some point, the sergeant, a 17-year-old -- a 17-year sergeant came on board overstepped his boundaries, opened the door, allegedly said she came at him with a hammer, and he shot her close range once in the heart. michelle was killed in her home. at that time, i am on the phone. the neighbor downstairs had phoned me. i asked to speak with the officers and no one came to the phone, so i was on the phone when all of this occurred and to
hear this, ocean with them -- ocean with them removing my daughter from the home on a stretcher. juan: i want to turn to comments made by the sergeant to describe the moments before he shot and killed her. dinetta: her --sergeant dupra: her eyes were open, she never said a word, but she had the anger in her face. ivy -- i became concerned she would hit me with the hammer and knock me out. juan: that was the sergeant that shot your daughter. could you react to the statement? frances: i really do not know -- michelle was 5'5", 130 pounds.
if the officer felt threatened by someone of that stature then he, i feel, should turn in his badge. there were other officers there with guns drawn. i just did not see michelle being a threat to him. there are other ways, prior to his arrival, they had decided to perhaps get mace. there were other ways to handle that. juan: many officers -- police departments have officers trained to deal with emotionally distressed persons. was is a special unit or regular officers? frances: these were regular normal police. amy: n/a retaking her to a mental health facility. --and they knew they were taking her to a mental health facility. frances: they knew because of the orders to take them -- take her.
my thing is for police not to be first responders in a situation like this, or if so, to have someone from the mental health agency providers there on the scene. since then, the phoenix police department has gotten -- they have come together to make changes. at this point when that incident with my daughter happened, they did not have a policy and procedure in place for officers to do pickups. now they are training them and have come up with a special force to go out into the community to handle situations such as this. amy: we want to also talk about rekia boyd. boyd was 22-years-old when she was killed in 2012 by an
off-duty chicago police detective. dante servin fired several shots over his shoulder into a group of people boyd was standing with near his home, striking her in the back of her head. servin claims he thought a man with the group had a gun, but no gun was found. he was charged with involuntary manslaughter, marking the first time in 15 years a chicago police officer was charged for a fatal shooting. but last month in a dramatic dismissal, judge dennis porter acquitted servin on a legal fine point. judge porter: simply put, the evidence does not support the charges on which the defendant was indicted and tried. there is a finding of not guilty on all counts and the defendant is discharged. juan: speaking from the bench porter suggested prosecutors should have starved -- charged servin with murder after he was acquitted. her mother responded to claims
that he feared for his life and did not intentionally kill her daughter. angela: this man is known around the area he lives. the day before my daughter got shot and killed he asked some of the residents what do i have to do here to get some peace, shoot a blank black? and that is what he did the next day. amy: martinez sutton, if you could talk about what happened to your sister. the judge dismissed the case, saying he should not have been charged with involuntary manslaughter. he should have been charged with murder. martinez: yes, the judge said the should of been murder chargers instead of involuntary manslaughter. he also said you cannot be intentional and reckless at the same time. we had second-degree murder
charges on him at first before they announced that, but at the last minute, once they found out i talked to the officer, they changed it to involuntary manslaughter to further protect him. amy: what do you mean once you talk to the police officer? martinez: i was doing a documentary for my school and as we were shooting a documentary he pulled up in the same car he killed my sister in, and he said who are you people, and i said this was martinez sutton, rekia boyd." brother -- boyd's brother, and he said can i get a hug? i stared at him, and i embraced. he then said i wished it was him that was dead instead of your
sister. he went back to i am sorry, i pray to the three mary's across the street every time i leave. how can you wish someone was dead? how can you wish somebody else's life was taken? why do you want to take somebody's life off of this earth? juan: has there been any indication after the judge's decision by the prosecutor is that they are going to seek, or can they even -- since it might be double jeopardy -- seek to prosecute him for murder? martinez: i have not heard from the prosecutors since the case has been over, they've not contacted me at all, further showing they were working with the police all along. amy: after dante servin was
acquitted the attorney's office's bonita said -- anita said i am very concerned. -- disappointed by the judge's ruling. your response? martinez: they did not do everything they could. when i said why could we not get first-degree murder and the prosecutor said i know what i'm doing, i have over 20 years of experience doing this, are you a lawyer? i said i do not have to be a lawyer to know the right charges, and he constantly said i have over 24 years of experience. let me do my job, and you see the job that he done. juan: this is police detective dante servin addressing
reporters. detective servin: i explained to the family -- my family is praying for them and we continue to pray for them. my heart goes out to the family. my family and i have also suffed gatly for t pas thre yrs. this is something i will live with for the rest of my life. juan: your reaction to detective servin's remarks. martinez: his family has also been something for three years. my family has to go through this for a lifetime. he gets to go home and create memories. the only memories i have is on a t-shirt. it is not the same.
dante -- he told me his version of what happened that night and from what he said, "i shot out the car, got out the car continue to fire." he was looking for blood that night, so -- amy: the judge's words are killing -- citing case law, he said the charge, involuntary manslaughter was inappropriate. he said the act of intentionally firing a gun at some person or persons on the street is an act that it is so dangerous to made is beyond reckless. it is intentional, and the crime, if there be any, is first-degree murder. that is not you saying this. this is the judge saying that involuntary manslaughter did not cover what happened, that it should be first-degree murder, and he dismissed the case, and it is not being brought. kimberle crenshaw? kimberle: it really boggles my mind. to say legal technicality is
just an illustration of how this system actually protects the officer. basically, he is saying he did much more than he is charged of, so because he did more than what he was charged with, we will let him go. just to broaden the entire frame, these are two stories of nine families coming forward today to lift up their family members. the vigil is designed to renumber their names, to lift them up. at noon today at new york law school they michelle cusseaux will be talking more about the specifics of their families cases, but more importantly, the kinds of ierventions they are calling for, number one, having a detail of officers who responded to domestic disturbances or mental health crises that are trained rather than someone who could say i shot someone because of the look on their face. what is that saying about the concern about the public that these officers are designed to war are supposed to protect? that is where we see the stereotypes. that is whe we see precisely the kind of thing -- the person
who killed mike brown said. he saw a monster -- that is essentially what this ofcer is saying. or rekiaappens to be with people the officer wts to kill and it does not matter that she is killed by that. there are many stories like this. it is important that we lift them up. my co-author, black youth project 100, we are all coming together to lift up these stories and we are hoping all people concerned about police violence bring women into the conversation -- all women into the conversation to demand the kind of reforms we need. amy: thank you so much for being here. kimberle crenshaw ucla, founder of this new report. i want to thank you, martinez sutton, for being here. i know how difficult it is to be here to recount what happened to your sister rekia boyd again killed by an off-duty police officer in 2012. he was acquitted last month.
and thank you, frances garrett for being here today, mother of michelle cusseaux, who died last august, killed by a phoenix police officer. our condolences to you both. this is democracy now. when we come back, we are going to seattle. stay with us. ♪ [music break]
amy: "everything is everything" -- lauryn hill on democracy now democracynow.org, the war and peace report. i am in the goodman with juan gonzalez. juan: we end today's show in seattle, where a major campaign is underway against oil giant shell's plans to drill in the remote and pristine arctic this summer. on monday hundreds blocked the entrance to the the city's port where shell has docked its 400-foot-long, 355-foot-wide arctic-bound "polar pioneer" drilling rig. michelle -- the shell rig arrived thursday. amy: -- the rig arrived thursday even after seattle's mayor announced its permit as a cargo ship does not apply to oil rigs. amy: now seattle's city council has issued a notice of violation against shell and could issue fines of up to $500 a day. all this comes after the obama administration announced
conditional approval for the company's plans last week. for more we are joined by seattle city council member mike o'brien. on saturday he was among hundreds of kayakers who surrounded the rig for a "paddle in seattle." welcome to democracy now! how is the shell rig allowed to be at the port? councilmember o'brien: the port of seattle is a separate governmental entity and they reportedly cut a deal to sign a contract with a contractor that was contracting with shell last fall and that only came in early-january. there was a couple days notice, a short meeting, people stood up and protested, but by then the deal was done. since then, there has been a total outrage in the city of seattle for this deal and there may be an opportunity for the port of seattle to revisit that contract, at which point a lot of us are hoping they reconsider their decision and do not allow shell to stay here. juan: can you talk about your
decision to join the protest? councilmember o'brien: is known as a environmental city, and we are very committed to fight climate change, and when you have a company like shell, who knows we have three times more oil in the ground then we can safely burn without preventing catastrophic climate change, and they are saying that is not enough -- we want to drill more -- in an environment, frankly where there is no safe way to drill arctic oil, that just goes against everything we stand for in the city, and when they want to bring their drilling fleet into the waterfront of seattle and store those ships in the 30-story drill rig, it calls on the people of seattle, including myself to go out there and say we cannot accept this, we need a new energy policy and we need shell to reconsider their options, too. amy: quickly, can you talk quickly or note the violation that the city, seattle, served on shell? councilmember o'brien: the port
is a different entity, but they want to get a permit and we issued a permit to operate that as a cargo terminal. shell oil story and its oil rig there is not a cargo facility, so they are now in violation of that permit. we issued a notice earlier this week. they have a few days to get into compliance, which would largely mean removing the oil rig or applying for another permit, which would take months to likely get. if they are not in compliance in the next week or so, we have the right to start issuing fines. unfortunately, the maximum fine is pennies for shell, $500 a day. juan: i want to ask you about the tpp, the secretive 12-nation agreement. john kerry visited to call for support of the tpp. i wanted to ask you what you thought about that. councilmember o'brien: a little over a month ago, the city council passed a resolution stating our opposition to fast-track tpp and stating our
concerns for what we heard was in that trade agreement. it is hard to fight against something that actually no one knows what is in it because it is top-secret, that what i have heard and what we have all heard from every mental leader, late -- environmental leader, labor leader, is that it is a bad deal for the environment and we think it is appalling something like this would get fast-track authority to move forward. amy: so, how can you make a difference in seattle as a city council member, and also, can you link the global trade agreements with the movement for better wages. seattle was a leader in the $15 an hour movement, you pass it in the city council and now los angeles has announced they have passed it $15 an hour wage that will be in place in 2020. councilmember o'brien: we care a lot about how workers in seattle. we are a trade-dependent state. any kind of trade agreement -- we want to be careful that we help workers and the trade agreements have undermined
workers in our city and country. we know there is a strong movement. it is great to see what happened in seattle happening in los angeles and san francisco, too. we think it is a moment where workers are having their voice and something like this undermines the movement that is so powerful. amy: and the issues that you have spearheaded the $15 an hour minimum wage, and los angeles doing the same? councilmember o'brien: one of the things we heard when we passed a minimum wages jobs will leave seattle, no one will pay that. the reality of what we have seen is that people are still flocking to seattle to open businesses in workers are coming here because they know they will be treated fairly. when you see other businesses falling in line, it sends a strong signal. it is not a mistake. amy: mike o'brien, thank you for being with us. he was part of the kayaks and
the march and he let a unanimous vote in the resolution against the tpp. that does it for the show. democracy now! is looking for feedback from people who appreciate the closed captioning. e-mail your comments to outreach@democracynow.org or mail them to democracy now! p.o. box 693 new york, new york 10013.

9th Circuit Says Praying Bremerton Coach "Preyed" On Students
We wrote about it here and talked about it on our live radio program back in October 2015 when Bremerton High School football coach Joe Kennedy was fired for kneeling beside the field for a short private prayer following the game. After both teams had left the field.
Although he had been doing this for a number of years, in 2015 an atheist parent made it an issue.
Coach Joe was told to stop praying.
He didn't stop praying.The school district fired him.
He sued them.
The 9th Circuit Court has now ruled on the appeal of a local court ruling.
The 9th Circuit Court of Appeals, in a 62-page ruling has refused to reinstate the former Bremerton coach.
The 3-judge panel ruled that Kennedy was acting as a teacher, with a duty to the district, students and parents to set an example and "communicate demonstratively" to those groups. The appeals court says Kennedy "took advantage of his position to press his particular views upon impressionable and captive minds before him."
In praying, the court declared he was "preying" on the kids.
Is anyone not aware of how Planned Parenthood "preys" on captive kids through their presence in the classroom and the teaching materials they provide?
The homosexual activist organization Human Rights Campaign also "preys" on these same captive kids in the classroom. Kids who don't get to leave until the bell rings. Or their parents find out what's going on under the guise of education.
And it does have an impact. Gender confusion, by all surveys, is on the rise among young kids who are being indoctrinated by activists in the classroom.
Somehow in our twisted and perverted view of "separation of church and state," it's okay-- no, mandatory-- to indoctrinate kids as young as 4 and 5 about so-called "gender-fluidity"---but not okay to pray on a football field after the players have left the field.
Last week I mentioned another case where an activist teacher led a 5 year old in a "transition" ceremony in the classroom, telling the 5 year old boy's classmates that he is now a girl with a new name.
The activist teacher explained in some length that the biology of your body does not mean you are a boy, or a girl. You are the gender you feel you are.
Although it should be criminal---it's considered education.
Parents reported their little girls came home terrified that they were going to turn into a boy.
Creating gender confusion among children has become a perverted norm.
Activists preying on children under the guise of education has become common place.
Human Rights Campaign and Planned Parenthood are stalking children every day in public classrooms---preying on our children's vulnerabilities.
A coach saying a prayer on that same public property where someone might see him is criminal?
The Seattle Times explains, "As a coach, Kennedy had access to the field that the general public did not have, because he is an employee of the school, his free speech is unprotected."
Over time, some of the Christian players from both teams stayed behind and knelt with Coach Joe for a moment of prayer. Voluntarily. Without any invitation to do so.
Richard Katskee, a DC attorney with Americans United for the Separation of Church and State, said, "Teachers and coaches don't get to pressure students to pray."
There was no pressure. He and his cohorts know that.
But why then, are teachers, activists and their lawyers allowed to indoctrinate children regarding human sexuality, abortion and gender under the guise of "education" with the blessing of these same guardians of the temple of public education and separation?
The answer is simple.
Christians and conservatives went to sleep at the wheel, while the far Left activists were vigilant in advancing their agenda.
Our Founders clearly understood the relationship between Christianity and this nation.
Last October, when this story about Coach Joe first became public, the National Review wrote an article titled, "Lawless Judges Created an America Where Praying Gets a Man Suspended from His Job."
In the article, David French was livid---righteously so.
He says it's not likely that the lower court (now the appeals court as well) would have ruled against Coach Kennedy "absent two extraordinary, malicious, anti-Christian legal doctrines developed by our lawless courts."
The first, he says, is the "slow but steady perversion of the Establishment Clause---originally intended to bar the establishment of a European-style church---into a hammer wielded against an increasing range of public religious expressions and acknowledgments, even at the expense of American history."
French notes the removable of Ten Commandments monuments as evidence of the anger and rebellion toward the Commandments that contributed so much to the success of this country. He also notes the obsession of removing war memorial crosses.
"And," he said, "God forbid that any high-school student actually see a teacher pray on the job."
Remember, he wrote this in 2015. Since that time we have moved considerably further down the perilous path of loosing our religious liberties and freedoms.
The second malicious legal development, he says, "is a distortion of so-called standing laws that has allowed citizens to sue towns, school districts, and other public entities simply because they are 'offended observers' of religious symbols or religious practices they don't like."
French says:
Essentially, the Supreme Court has carved out an exception to normal rules of standing (which require a plaintiff to establish a concrete harm to their rights) for the special purpose of challenging any government acknowledgment of religion. As a practical matter, this has been one of the most divisive and biased procedural elements yet devised in constitutional law. Under this unique doctrine, a few plaintiffs can undo decades of community consensus and rip apart long-standing traditions — not because they have been coerced in any way but simply because they were "offended" when they heard a public prayer or saw a nativity scene on public land.
If a cross offends a single atheist-tear down the cross.
What about the thousands of others who are offended by it being torn down?
A school employee offers a voluntary prayer---in public view--fire him.
That, however, isn't the establishment of a religion and anyone with an once of common sense knows it. The laws intended to "protect" religious freedom have been perverted to now be used to undermine religious freedom.
French says, "In the world of constitutional common sense, voluntary individual prayer---even in full public view---isn't an 'establishment' of a religion, but the free exercise thereof."
Yet in federal court, the Constitution often takes a backseat to anti-religious dogma, and judge-made "law" provides school districts with the pretext they need to stretch the boundaries of censorship.
While Bremerton's Coach Joe Kennedy considers if he will make a final appeal to the US Supreme Court---which I personally hope he does--we are being called upon to consider how our country can be saved from the tyranny of distorted laws and interpretations of our laws.
Can America be saved?
Is there anything that can bring us together again? And make America great again?
The French historian Alexis de Tocqueville wrote, "America is great because she is good, and if America ceases to be good, she will cease to be great."
Most all Americans agreed with his observation.
The problem now is that what can bring us together again---make America great again, is the very thing that divides us.
Presidents Wilson and Truman declared "America is a Christian nation."
Christianity is now being purged from our public life. Or used as a wedge to further divide us.
Traditional morality, rooted in Christianity, is being marginalized and discarded because of indifference by millions of people who claim to be "Christian," yet also claim that "religion and politics" don't mix.
The very foundation of our goodness is Christianity. To the degree that Christianity is eliminated, goodness and greatness is lost.
If America is to ever become great again, we must return to the "former things"--- our "first love"---an abiding faith in the fundamental teaching and principles of Christianity.
There is no politician or elected official who can, alone, lead America back to greatness.
There is no political party that can restore America.
Only God can bring this about. We must return to what Francis Schaeffer called a "Christian consensus."
Even those who did not claim a personal Christian faith, understood it was Christian principles and values that made America good and great.
While Wilson and Truman saw America as Christian, Hillary Clinton infamously last year described those who hold to these values as a "basket of deplorable's...racist, sexist, homophobic, xenophobic, Islamophobic...bigots, and altogether irredeemable."
We cannot continue to use the laws created to protect our Christian religious faith and its expression as a bludgeon tool to destroy its expression in our culture.
If advanced democracy, or "progress" as progressives like to call it, has produced the disintegration of our nation as we see around us, what is the compelling case that can bring us together?
If there has ever been a time for Christians to take a stand, it's now. Wake up. Become engaged in the culture.
A generation after America's founding, Daniel Webster said, "Finally let us not forget the religious character of our origin. Our fathers were brought here by their high veneration for the Christian religion. They journey by its light, and labored in its hope. They sought to incorporate its principles with the elements of their society, to defuse its influence through all their institutions, civil political, or literary."
And he said, "Let us cherish these sentiments, and extend this influence still more widely; in full conviction that, that is the happiest society which partakes in the highest degree of the mild and peaceful spirit of Christianity."
Be Vigilant. Be Informed. Be Bold. Be Prayerful.

Sydney FC players will be wearing special multi-coloured boots against Melbourne Heart this Saturday, to show their support for Zaidee's Rainbow Foundation. The organisation is named after 7-year old Zaidee Turner who died from a burst blood vessel in her brain and aims to raise awareness of organ donation.
Sydney FC players will be wearing special multi-coloured boots against Melbourne Heart this Saturday, to show their support for Zaidee-s Rainbow Foundation.
The organisation is named after 7-year old Zaidee Turner who died suddenly in 2004 from a burst blood vessel in her brain.
At the time Zaidee was the only child under 16 in Victoria to donate her organs and her story is aimed at encouraging people to think about donation.
Goalkeeper Liam Reddy is one of the players who-ll be wearing the specially made Adidas boots.
Michael Beauchamp, Pascal Bosschaart, Ivan Necevski, Jamie Coyne and Bruno Cazarine will also join with Melbourne Heart players in supporting the Foundation.
"I am feeling very proud to be part of this game against Melbourne Heart where we can support Zaidee-s Foundation. We know the cause is very important so we are very happy to be part of this game," said Bruno.
For Liam, wearing the jazzy footwear will be a first.
The symbol of the rainbow for the Foundation is intended to offer hope for those on the transplant waiting list.

OIC: It was deliberate incitement
The OIC has for long been concerned about the increasing trend of Islamophobia
Source : Jassim Abuzaid | 18 Sep 2012
The Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) has stressed the fact that the freedom of expression and opinion cannot be used to denigrate religions under international law. The organization said the tragic killing of US Ambassador to Libya Christopher Stevens is a loss not only to America, but also to international diplomatic vitality.
In an exclusive interview with Arab News, Rizwan Sheikh, OIC spokesman and director of cultural affairs, said the recent incidents are a source of deep concern for the organization, as they are for the rest of the world.
"The OIC has for long been concerned about the increasing trend of Islamophobia," said Sheikh.
He described the production of the offensive film that sparked anger in the Muslim world as "deplorable and reprehensible."
"We believe that the posting of its trailer on a website is a deliberate act of incitement, and that the reaction (of Muslims) was the exact thing (the makers had) in mind when making the film," he said.
"We condemn in the strongest possible terms the production of this film and hope the rest of the international community joins us," he added.
Sheikh said the OIC believes in the freedom of expression and opinion, but that freedom cannot be used to denigrate or hurt people's religious sentiments. "This position of the OIC is very well entrenched in international legal instruments," he said.
Sheikh said the right to freedom of opinion and expression is defined in Article 19 of the UN International Covenant of Civil and Political Rights, but it is followed by Article 20, which clearly states: "Any advocacy of national, racial or religious hatred that constitutes incitement to discrimination, hostility or violence shall be prohibited by law."
"Drafters clearly saw the need to have limits on this freedom, and they put those limits. It's a freedom and a right, but which even in the covenant itself has been subjected to certain limits," he said.
Sheikh explained that interfaith harmony is increasingly important and must figure in the conduct of international relations.
"Religions, as we have seen of late, have definitely entered the realm of politics, particularly with reference to the increasing trend of Islamophobia. We've seen the rise of the far-right movement in Europe using Islamophobia as an instrument for their electoral gains," said Sheikh.
"We condemn the unfortunate production of the offensive film, which resulted in the loss of innocent lives. We strongly condemn the tragic killing of Ambassador Christopher Stevens. He was a senior diplomat with wide experience in the region. It is not a loss for the Americans only, but for the international diplomatic vitality."

Home Latest News Stock Exchange Hotel, Manchester renames one of its signature suites in recognition of a Manchester
The Jon Goldstone suite is unveiled by hotel directors in honour of his retirement from the Manchester office of Redmayne Bentley.
Co-owners of Stock Exchange Hotel; Gary Neville, Ryan Giggs and Winston Zahra in October 2021 unveiled the 'Jon Goldstone' suite within their luxurious Manchester venue in honour of the recently-retired Stockbroker.
The hotel's co-owners were in the presence of Jon's sons; James and Michael Goldstone and colleagues from Redmayne Bentley; James Igoe, Head of the Manchester Office and James Andrews, Partner and Director of Investment Management.
After a 52-year career in stockbroking, and before retiring from the Manchester office of Redmayne Bentley earlier last year, Jon Goldstone was the last person still in the profession to have worked on the trading floor of the Manchester Stock Exchange up until its closure in 1979.
Today, the former Northern Stock Exchange houses arguably Manchester's most luxurious boutique hotel. The hotel includes 40 beautifully decorated rooms and suites and is also home to the aptly named Bull & Bear restaurant from Michelin-starred chef Tom Kerridge situated within the elegantly renovated former trading floor, where traders like Jon spent their working days.
Redmayne Bentley's James Andrews said: "We wanted to honour Jon's commitment and dedication to stockbroking here in the North and where better than at the place where he started his career?"
"As a firm we love coming to this fabulous hotel and we know just how much the building means to Jon. We were thrilled when the team loved our idea of naming a suite to honour his career in the city."
Jon Goldstone who watched the suite's new name being unveiled from his home in Knutsford, Cheshire said: "I am truly honoured by this gesture from both my colleagues at Redmayne Bentley and the team at Stock Exchange. My years working within the building are very special to me. It's where my career started as a 'blue button', before becoming an Authorised Dealer in 1974 and a Member of the Stock Exchange in 1983."
"It's been wonderful to see what the team behind Stock Exchange Hotel has achieved in bringing it back to its former glory and making it an integral part of the city again."
Winston Zahra, co-owner and CEO of GG Hospitality said: "The history of the Northern Stock Exchange is fascinating and we were honoured to meet Jon and listen to anecdotes of his time working in the building. It was always part of our vision to ensure that we kept the heritage of the building alive and to share the history with our guests and visitors from all over the world."
The hotel opened in late 2019 following an extensive renovation to restore the building back to its former glory and bring a unique luxurious hotel to the city of Manchester.
The newly-named Jon Goldstone Suite is one of the hotel's signature suites. Formerly named the '1906' suite after the opening bell of the Manchester Stock Exchange rang for the very first time. The unique two-bedroom suite spans 106 square meters of stylish design and bespoke high-end furnishings and features a kitchenette, dining space, and a large seating area ideal for families and friends wishing to spend a few days in the city.

4:00 AM PST 11/16/2006 by Empty , AP
Canadian actors union calls for strike
TORONTO — Canada's actors union began mailing ballots Wednesday for a national strike mandate to support their talks with North American producers on a new labor deal. Stephen Waddell, chief negotiator for ACTRA, which represents 21,000 domestic performers, said the mandate is designed to give producers a wake-up call. ACTRA, American producers, the CFTPA and Quebec producers affiliated with the Association de producteurs de films et de television du Quebec are now girding themselves for crunch talks in mid-December to avert a strike or lockout once the Independent Production Agreement expires Dec. 31. The sides met Tuesday in Toronto but made little apparent progress.

EU member seeks video game warnings
BRUSSELS — The European Commission has called for parental warnings and age restrictions on the sale of "obscene and perverse" video and computer games. European Union justice commissioner Franco Frattini has written to EU justice and home affairs ministers urging "common sense" regarding games he blames for violent or bullying behavior among children. When the ministers meet next month in Brussels, Frattini will call for measures to deal with the games that, he says, "glorify violence, sometimes extreme violence." In his letter, Frattini cited "The Rule of Rose," a game for Sony Corp.'s PlayStation 2 console, which involves psychological and physical violence inflicted on a girl.

It's that time of year again. Retailers have been planning the following six weeks for the last 46. If you just started holiday planning over the last few weeks, you're probably too late to make the biggest impact for holiday 2011. For those who are unaware of just how big the holiday season is for ecommerce: It is common to generate 25%-40% of marketing-driven revenues during the next six weeks. The ramp-up starts this week of Black Friday. Most ecommerce marketers have their biggest day on Cyber Monday, followed by Green Monday, and the more recent Free Shipping Day.
Leverage increased receptivity to marketing. It's not just retailers who benefit from this key seasonality. Generally, consumers are far more receptive to marketing during this period, and all marketers can take advantage of this. Of course, ecommerce marketers should ensure their agencies embrace the additional complexity and labor intensity necessary to expand performance marketing efforts and integrate specific messaging, offers and landing pages for Black Friday, Cyber Monday, Green Monday, and Free Shipping Day, in addition to general holiday messaging. Pay close attention to daily performance trends and budgets. Formal testing during the holidays presents challenges and risks, but you can still analyze consumer behavior and optimize throughout the season.
Utilize incentive scarcity to motivate spending. This year, many retailers will be offering the same door-buster deals online as they do in store, priming the pump for big digital holiday revenues. Limited-time and limited-inventory offers will get consumers in the doors and online, and are the starting point for harnessing increased consumer spending. Competing on low-margin or loss-leader offers may feel like a race to the bottom, but it's a means of moving inventory at scale while protecting existing customer relationships and taking new customers from your competitors.
Reward loyalty and social media engagement. Retailers with loyalty programs should reserve a handful of exclusive deals and referral rewards for card-carrying loyal customers. Rewarding your highest value and most loyal customers fosters advocacy.
Extend this thinking to your social media communities. Studies have proven that special offers and promotions are a primary expectation of consumers who connect with retailers on social platforms. While promotions in social media ordinarily generate low engagement, your offers will be more warmly received during the key weeks of the holiday shopping season. Retailers who take the time to develop engaging social shopping features can go further toward taking advantage of the intersection of content and commerce.
Multichannel communication: While consumers are more receptive to marketing during the holidays, there is a gluttony of marketing noise in the market at this time. As always, we're all competing for consumers' limited attention. Marketers must leverage all owned and controlled channels, including their website, blogs, email, SMS, and social media. This is the time to increase the frequency of communication, which also underscores the importance of providing consumers with the ability to manage their communication preferences, allowing for better segmentation, relevancy of messaging and a better overall consumer experience with your brand.
Engage on mobile. 2010 was an eye-opener. Mobile comparison shopping and mobile commerce came of age last year. With smartphones pushing close to 50% penetration, 2011 will surely see significant increases in mobile holiday commerce. Is your mobile commerce site and/or app prepared for the opportunity? Daily deal sites and online retailers are running mobile-only Black Friday specials to compete with brick and mortar retailers. They're betting that a percentage of consumers will discover better deals on their mobile devices and divert some of their spending even while physically inside of retail stores. Smartphones have empowered consumers and marketers as never before, and will continue to reshape the retail shopping experience during the holidays and beyond.
Black Friday is just three days away. Here's to a prosperous 2011 holiday season! Let's remember that the real value of this week is to step away from the spreadsheet or Powerpoint and spend some quality time with family and friends for Thanksgiving. All the best to you and yours!

Die Citation Encore ist ein zweistrahliges Geschäftsreiseflugzeug des amerikanischen Flugzeugherstellers Cessna und gehört zur Flugzeugfamilie der Citation. Größenmäßig ist sie zwischen der CitationJet-Reihe und der Citation XLS einzuordnen. Die aktuelle Marktversion ist die Citation Encore+, die eine Weiterentwicklung der Citation Encore darstellt.

Geschichte

Citation V

Die Cessna Citation V (auch Cessna 560) entstand aus der Cessna Citation II, die eine verlängerte Version der Citation I darstellt. Der Rumpf wurde erneut um 510 mm verlängert.
Der erste Prototyp absolvierte den Erstflug im August 1987, dem die Zulassung im Dezember 1988 folgte. Die Triebwerke stammten aus der Citation II, wurden aber leicht verändert um eine größere Reichweite zu erzielen.
Bis zur Marktausführung 1994 wurden insgesamt 262 Cessna Citation V  produziert und ausgeliefert.

Citation Ultra

Nachdem sich Cessna 1993 dazu entschloss, die Citation V zu überholen, entstand die Cessna Citation Ultra, deren größte Neuerung in den Triebwerken und einer neuen Avionik lag.
Zur Zeit der Markteinführung 1994 wurde die Citation Ultra als bester Businessjet bezeichnet. Bis zur Marktausführung 1999 wurden 340 Flugzeuge gebaut und ausgeliefert.

Citation Encore/Encore+

Die Cessna Citation Encore wurde im April 2000 zugelassen und Ende September zum ersten Mal ausgeliefert. Diese Variante verfügte über zwei Pratt & Whitney Canada PW535A Triebwerke und eine erhöhte Reichweite,
die durch eine Vergrößerung des Tanks erzielt wurde.

Bei der Cessna Citation Encore+ kamen dann zwei Pratt & Whitney Canada PW535B zum Einsatz, mit 15,12 kN statt 14,95 bei der A-Variante.
Auch die Avionik wurde erneut überarbeitet und mit einem FADEC-System ausgestattet. Die Zulassung durch die FAA erfolgte im Dezember 2006, die erste Auslieferung Anfang 2007.

Vom US Marine Corps werden zwölf Citation V unter den Bezeichnungen UC-35C Ultra und UC-35D Encore auf vier Basen in den USA und einer in Japan eingesetzt. Die Beschaffung erfolgte als Ersatz für die Beech UC-12 King Air.

PAULO GONCALVES DELIVERS A SECOND TOP 10 IN HERO MOTOSPORTS TEAM RALLY
Ha'il, Saudi Arabia, January 10, 2020
Hero MotoSports Team Rally consolidated their good showing from the previous stage today. The stage 5 of the rally tested the competitors with a 353 km special stage running from Al Ula to Ha'il.
In the sandy surroundings of the day, humongous rocks served as landmarks to avoid costly navigation mistakes. Less technical than the previous ones, but just as impressive with the dunes, and gigantic sandy hills offering a mix of sand and soil to the competitors.
Paulo Goncalves, continued to press forward today as well and delivered a back to back Top 10 finish for the team at the 10th place. Sebastian Buhler maintained his good form and brought the stage home in the 21st place.
Santosh too had a good stage today, finding his rhythm to finish the stage in the 37th place while Joaquim Rodrigues suffered a minor crash, but managed to close the stage in 25th position.
After today's steady performance, Paulo Goncalves climbed up several positions for the second day in a row to finish on 59thplace in the overall rankings. Buhler maintained his Top 20 position to reach 19th place and Santosh climbed up a few more ranks today to break into the top 40 at 39th place in the overall rankings at the end of the stage 5.
With just one more stage to go and the stage complexion changing from being more technical to wide open desert, tomorrow's stage is expected to see more competitors trying to push hard in tackling the longest stage of the Dakar yet, with 830 kms to be done, including the 478 km special.
Paulo Goncalves (Comp No. 8) said, "Today there was a change in the scenery from the trials and stony tracks of the last 3-4 days to the more open desert today. In the first part of the stage I tried to push hard and rode well. After the refuelling, there was 200 kms of open off-piste stage that could be fast but dangerous as well. So I decided to calm my pace a bit down to avoid crashes and arrived well for me and the Hero team. Now we have one more day before we get a rest day to recover well to race for the second week. "
Sebastian Buhler (Comp No: 32) said, "It was a hard stage and we had almost 200 kms in the off-piste towards the end. I think I did well today, tried not to go too fast to avoid making any mistakes. The rally is very long and I want to finish with a good place. So let's see how it goes tomorrow. "
CS Santosh (Comp No: 50) said, "What an amazing last 2 days it has been at the Dakar. The last two stage have been tough but really incredible. In the beginning part of the stage today we had some rocks, sands and piste but the second half, for about 200 kms was just open off-piste, camel grass and undulations. I really enjoyed the riding the stage today and I am starting to feel better and more confident on the bike. Can't wait to see what the next few days are going to bring to us."
Joaquim Rodrigues (Comp No. 27) said, "Difficult day for me today as the stage was really hard. In the beginning I was riding really well but in the second half I had a crash and lost some time. But I am ok for tomorrow and happy that I was able to get my Hero back to the finish line. "

Which piano makers make good acoustic pianos?
Every piano lover would love a Steinway or Bosendorfer, but not everyone gets that expensive privilege!
Most piano reviews are written by technicians. The authority on this is an excellent book named The Piano Book by Larry Fine. Here, I've written some piano reviews from a pianist's and teacher's point of view in line with the book.
Pianos in this category are finely crafted and highly prized. Both Steinway & Sons and Bosendorfer are the choice of international artistes and top conservatories. Demand in this category is usually for grand pianos that cost more than S$100,000. Uprights cost at least S$40,000. These rough estimates are in Singapore dollars.
Pianos in this range are of high quality and reliability. They offer value-for-money. Though these makers mass-produce, they pay good attention to detail. Prices range from about S$6,000 to S$15,000 for uprights and S$15,000 upwards for grands.
Piano manufacturers in this category are more diverse. Pianos in this category require a smaller investment compared to those in the mid-range. Prices range from about S$3,000 to S$7,000 for an upright and S$10,000 to S$12,000 for a grand.
Feel free to ask any questions about buying a good piano suited to your needs.

It involves placing a patch with a sticky rim over the "good" eye so the lazy eye is forced to work. It can be very effective in improving the sight in the lazy eye. Patches often need to be worn with glasses.... If you have lazy eye and are still in your teens, patching is the gold standard to try and improve vision. When you put a patch over the good eye the bad will learn to compensate by itself.
Amblyopia suffers may be required to wear a patch over the healthy eye to improve the affected eye; however, some exercises, such as doing small-print crossword puzzles and video games may help improve the disorder.... Whether you need it for an eye injury or for cosplay, this is the perfect eye patch for your needs. Just adjust and fit the straps around your ears, with breathing holes to let air get through and gauze to stop dust and airborne particles from getting inside.
The accompanying patch removed the quests, and made Old Murk-Eye craftable instead. Prior to these changes, Old Murk-Eye was the cheapest legendary card in the game to obtain, requiring only 700 dust to craft one of each other non-Basic Murlocs, compared to the 1600 dust required to directly craft any other legendary.
