Two Buffalo Police officers were suspended without pay after knocking down a 75-year-old man that left him bleeding from the head in front of Buffalo City Hall during a protest on Thursday night, according to WBFO. ***WARNING!! This video contains GRAPHIC CONTENT** In a statement released on Twitter, Mayor Byron Brown of Buffalo said he was "deeply disturbed by the video." "After days of peaceful protests and several meetings between myself, police leadership and members of the community, tonight's event is disheartening," Brown said. It's only been a little over a week since the protests began in response to the death of George Floyd, a 46-year-old black man who died shortly after a white police officer, Derek Chauvin, kept his knee pinned to Floyd's neck, yet so many instances of injustice by police have been caught on camera across the United States from arresting journalists on live air, to attacking journalists, to driving an SUV through...

Photo Credit: MASTERPIECE | PBS  / Facebook We've survived two Sundays without "World On Fire." The first season had come crashing down to a cliffhanger. While we wait for the moment to find out whether Kasia will meet Harry at the top of the hill or if Lois will go through with marrying the dashing Canadian pilot, Vernon, let's use this time to spotlight the very different, yet very powerful women. **SPOILERS AHEAD!!** Lois She's very   headstrong.  For instance, in the season finale (S1 ep. 7), she strongly tells Harry that she doesn't want him to be part of her or the baby's life. Another trait to describe her would be spontaneous. After his return from Poland and even though she sensed he was hooking up with someone else, she decided to have sex with him resulting in an unplanned pregnancy at a very inconvenient time: World War II. Despite the circumstances, instead of just weeping about it, it seems she easily accepted the com...

A CNN news crew including a reporter, Omar Jimenez, was arrested this morning during a live broadcast in Minneapolis. This was a "clear violation of their First Amendment rights," according to a tweet from CNN Communications. CNN was reporting the morning after violent protests erupted the night before in response to the incident of George Floyd, a 46-year-old black man who died moments after a white police officer kept his knee pinned to Floyd's neck despite his pleas. In the video, you can clearly hear the CNN news crew repeatedly stating to the officers that they are with CNN and they are live on air. "This is the four of us. We are one team. Just put us back where you want us. We are getting out of your way so just let us know." Jimenez says as he shows his press credentials. "Wherever you'd want us we will go." To make matters worse, Minnesota State Patrol incorrectly tweeted that "the three were released once ...

 "Viral: Antisemitism In Four Mutations,"  a powerful documentary film about the evolution of antisemitism around the globe, aired last night on PBS.  Written, produced, and directed by filmmaker Andrew Goldberg, "the documentary visits four countries to speak first hand with victims, witnesses and anti-Semites," according to PBS . The film is divided into four chapters, shining a light on the countries of the United States, Hungary, England, and France. "It was the most anti-Semitism I had seen in my two-decade career as a journalist," Goldberg says in the first chapter of the film. "But why now in so many places around the world and in so many ways?" Following a comparison of the spread of hate to a virus, the film begins with the terrifying radio communication between officers on Oct. 27, 2018, the day of the Pittsburgh synagogue shooting. 11 lives were lost at the Tree of Life*Or L'Simcha Congregation. "Once again the...

"Angels & Demons" was so good and such a page turner that I just couldn't put it down. I don't usually read books that are 569 pages thick in a matter of a week, but I managed to complete this one. Knowing that this COVID-19 and "Stay at home. Flatten the curve!" was going to go on for a while, I thought I'd take a shot at the Robert Langdon series by Dan Brown. There's a movie series! I first watched the 2011 film "Inferno" that's based on the fourth book starring the one and only Tom Hanks playing as Robert Langdon. There's actually three movies based on the Robert Langdon series: "The Da Vinci Code" (2006), "Angels & Demons" (2009), and "Inferno" (2016). It's important to note that although "Angels & Demons" is the first book, a film adaptation of "The Da Vinci Code" (book two) was released in theaters prior to the release of the "Angels & Demons...

The lift on the ban of education for pregnant girls and young mothers in Sierra Leone was immediately put into effect, President Julius Maada Bio and Education Minister David Moinina Sengeh announced on Monday. The ban was first put into place in 2010. Among the seven continents, Africa has the highest teenage pregnancy rates, according to the United Nations . “The Sierra Leone government should accompany this announcement with clear directives for school officials to accept, include, and support pregnant students and teen mothers in schools,” said Elin Martinez, a senior children’s rights researcher at Human Rights Watch. “It should also broadcast messages of inclusion nationally, and work with communities to ensure that girls, their families, teachers, and community leaders know that all girls belong in school." The Court of Justice of the Economic Community of West African States ruled that the ban was discriminatory and ordered the country's government to disman...

This Is Us has wrapped up Season 4 and whoa...what a FiNaLe!  *** SPOILERS AHEAD!** *Just a bit of a note since we're dealing with four time periods (The Big Three's first birthday, present day, the future, and the far future)… I will use the term "the future" as a reference to the flash forward scene that shows the scene with everyone at Kevin's house. The term "far future" is future Jack, Lucy, Hailey, and Hope. Kate and Toby adopts " There are two possibilities here. Kate and Toby's relationship doesn't last or Kate dies. " "My prediction is that she'll end up with Marc." - My 'This Is Us' predictions! (Part One)   Fans were relieved to learn that Toby is not cheating with Lady Kryptonite and from this point, it looks like it's safe to say that Kate and Toby's relationship will last (for now). At the end of the Season 4 finale, Kevin, Randall, Uncle Nicky, Beth, Kevin's twins, and Rebe...
