260
HONOLULU – April 9, 2019 Police violence in the US sometimes manifests as true humiliation and the deprival of basic human rights, as happened to a homeless man in Hawaii who was forced to lick a public urinal.

The incident that occurred on January 28, 2018 was apparently meant to be a joke, but did not go according to plan for these violators of the human rights in police uniform. According to the official statements, Rabago and Ramones were resp...

The Legal Aid Society – a nonprofit group protecting, defending, and advocating “for those that have struggled in silence for far too long” – has launched a searchable New York City database of publicly available lawsuits filed against members of the NYPD. Moreover, it has revealed some other unpleasant aspects of the broken police system: A number of off...

The FBI has released 16 portraits of confessed serial killer Samuel Little’s alleged victims, all of which were hand-drawn by Little from memory. On Tuesday, the FBI released the portraits of 16 unidentified women made by serial killer Samuel Little while in prison in hopes that “someone – a family member, a former neighbor, a friend – might recognize the [victims] and provide the crucial clue in helping authorities make an identification.” Little, 78, stunned investigators last year when he began confessing to almost 100 killings, carried out over the span of about 35...

NEW YORK – February 5, 2019 Do you think it could only apply to Europe? Even today, you can see how a small Muslim community is gradually being introduced into the US security system. The self-funded group sees itself as a district watch. And despite a wave of resentment and anxiety, patrol cars have already been spotted in Brooklyn for no reason. One of the patrol members Maeen Ali openly said he's consumed only by thoughts of his four children's safety. This explains a lot when Muslims unite to protect their children and the community as a whole. This makes a big dif...
