Philando Castile’s Girlfriend Diamond Testifies In Trial Against Police Officer

Via KTLA:

Diamond Reynolds didn’t just watch her fiancé die at the hands of a police officer. She made sure the world watched, too.

There was nothing Reynolds could do to save Philando Castile. As he bled, the officer kept his gun pointed into his car. Reynolds’ only recourse was to broadcast the shooting’s aftermath on Facebook Live. Within hours, countless strangers had watched Castile’s final moments — and decried what they called excessive police force.

Now, 335 days later, Reynolds will take the stand for a second day to testify in the Minnesota officer’s manslaughter trial.

Florida Mother Defends Decision To Allow Snake To Bite 1 Year Old Baby

Originally posted on Fox 5 San Diego:

A Florida woman allowed a snake to bite her 1-year-old daughter to “introduce” the child to snakes and teach her a lesson, according to WFTS.

Video originally posted to the woman’s Facebook page showed the red rat snake biting the child on the hand. The mother has since deleted the video.

“It had bitten me and my son and didn’t leave a mark, several times,” she told WFTS, Tampa’s ABC Action News. The woman, who was not identified by the television station, said she felt it was a “good opportunity” to introduce the child to snakes “without actually getting hurt.”

“People are too sensitive,” she told WFTS. “They just think that I hurt my child intentionally. The people who know me know that I would never hurt my children.”

The woman said she learned how to handle reptiles at a young age by helping her father, a local police officer, when he responded to animal service calls.

Amazon.com is offering a discount on its Prime membership for people who have low incomes and receive government assistance, positioning itself as an even greater competitor to retail giant Wal-Mart.

Customers with a valid Electronic Benefits Transfer card — used for programs such as the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, also known as food stamps — can now pay $5.99 a month for Prime membership, which offers free shipping, as well as streaming of certain movies, TV shows and other entertainment.

Prime’s typical monthly price is $10.99, but standard users can instead pay $99 per year up front, which equates to $8.25 a month.

Amazon said Tuesday that it wants more people to have access to Prime.
