Florida Thieves Broke Into Man’s Home To Steal Sausage & Paper Towels

Florida, Florida, Florida… What in the world is going on in Florida? Always something crazy that’s for sure. Maybe the sun rays are frying people’s brains down there.

Check out this story I found on Bossip.

According to Florida News Today:

Detectives are searching for the cat burglars who crept into a Palm Bay residence and stole two packs of sausages and rolls from his kitchen as the homeowner slept.

The man discovered the break-in when he woke to find the front door of his home wide open and reviewed surveillance footage, Palm Bay police said.

“It was more of a cat burglary-styled break-in,” said Lt. Mike Bandish of the Palm Bay Police Department. “They stole food, sausages mainly, paper rolls and rolls,” Bandish said.

“There were three individuals seen outside and the video shows two of them going inside,” Bandish said, adding that nothing else appeared to have been taken. However, it was not known how long the men were in the residence or why they targeted that particular home.

Detectives are reviewing the surveillance video and were expecting to release more information about the case. Neighbors also saw men matching the description of the burglars.

LAPD Releases Footage Showing Them Laughing After Killing Another Unarmed Black Man

Via NY Daily:

Los Angeles police officers found reason to laugh after struggling with a schizophrenic man who died in their custody, new video showed Thursday.

The city paid the family of 56-year-old grandfather Vachel Howard a $2.85 million settlement after they filed suit over his June 2012 death at the LAPD’s 77th Street Station Jail.

The video of the fatal clash between Howard and several officers remained out of public view until ProPublica published the silent security camera footage Thursday.

It’s not clear why the officers were chuckling after a nurse examined the motionless Howard, then walked away to get her stethoscope. A lawyer for Howard’s daughter told the investigative news outlet that the video shows how unnecessary it was for him to die.

“Mr. Howard posed no threat whatsoever,” said V. James DeSimone. “He was down on the ground, six officers on top of him, no guns in the nearby vicinity executing a chokehold where there was no threat to the officers or to anybody else. It’s out of policy, it’s unlawful, and in this case it’s murder.”

The police department and the city attorney’s office, which negotiated the settlement last fall after two years of litigation, declined ProPublica’s request for comment.

The officer believed to have used the chokehold received a 22-day suspension. Other officers at the jail that day said they feared for their own lives.

Howard was arrested June 4, 2012, on charges of driving under the influence, according to a 2013 review by the Board of Police Commissioners. Police suspected he had smoked crack and marijuana and possibly taken PCP.

He told one officer after a strip search that he had a history of paranoid schizophrenia and had not taken his medicine recently. The officers described him as apparently hallucinating after his arrest but cooperative during the search.

The struggle began afterward, when police said he became agitated while handcuffed to a bench and advanced toward a nurse in the jail’s dispensary moments later.

SMH! Another travesty. When will it end? Or has it just begun?

Insurance Co. Demands Deion Sanders Pay $43K Medical Bills For Son’s School Beatdown — Bossip

Deion Sanders and his ex-wife are solely to blame for their son’s brutal attack on a school employee – who suffered such severe injuries he had to undergo spinal surgery.

That’s according to the school’s insurance company, which is demanding the NFL legend be ordered to pay $43,000 for the costs of their employee John Darjean’s medical bills. Darjean, an employee at the Dallas high school that Deion’s son attends, sued Deion and his ex-wife Pilar in Dallas County Court demanding mire than one million dollars in damages for the brutal attack at the hands of their offspring.

Darjean said in court papers that he tried to confiscate Deion’s teenage son’s cellphone – which was being used despite school rules banning the use of the device – and it caused the kid to go nuts and brutally beat down the employee. The alleged assault was so bad he needed to go to a local hospital and ended up having spinal surgery.

Earlier this year, the man’s insurance company filed suit over the attack and is seeking $26,000 from the former couple to reimburse the payout they sent Darjean following the attack. The company has accused Deion’s son of having a history of reckless conduct and have blamed his parents for not doing anything to fix his behavior. That lawsuit is still pending and Deion nor Pilar have responded to the suit in court.

Deion has publically said the allegations are false and the man accusing his son of attacking him is a liar and called out the man’s character as being shady. But the school employee filed suit in Dallas County Court on June 20th, just days after Deion publically called him out for targeting his family due to their wealth.

Darjean said he acted in a reasonable and rational manner when asking Deion’s son for his cellular phone, but Shilo Sanders response was to physically assault him, causing him severe and permanent injuries including permanent neurological injuries and damage to his cervical spine.

He blames Deion and his ex-wife Pilar of failing to supervise their child and failing to raise him to not act like a savage in public.
