Black teenagers arrested at local festival—for making people "uncomfortable."

"This is straight up bullying," said witness.

"These boys were sitting on the bench minding their business.

Watch original unedited footage not yet posted here.

Police say it was "riotous behavior" that led to the arrests.

Officers claim that 2 teenage boys "refused to comply and were subsequently escorted from the park area... requiring physical restraint to ensure safety."

Incident occurred at the Edwardsville Pierogi Festival at John J. Hopkins Memorial Park in Luzerne County, Pennsylvania.

Ms. Heather filmed the original incident, researched the police report, and offered her testimony.

She does not have an account on this platform—so posting here to help her raise awareness.

If MLB players want to wear Bible verses on their uniforms then do it all year round. Don't just show your religion when you see an opportunity to attack. That's acting like a snake in the grass.

White Privilege is being a former Escort that can barely speak English properly and people honor you at the White House meanwhile a successful accomplished Black Women gets disrespected 10 years removed from office.

On Sunday, June 14, 2026, officers from the Senatobia Police Department and the Tate County Sheriff’s Department responded to a shoplifting call at a Walmart in Senatobia, Mississippi.

An officer opened fire into a vehicle carrying two adult women and 1-year-old Kohen Kartier Wiley.

The alleged stolen merchandise was diapers.

Authorities have stated the vehicle drove toward officers before shots were fired. Witnesses at the scene have stated the vehicle was driving away from officers at the time of the shooting. The Mississippi Bureau of Investigation has since taken over the case. No officer has been publicly identified. No body camera footage has been released.

Kohen was rushed to a nearby hospital where he was pronounced dead. His aunt remains hospitalized in critical condition.

A police officer fired into a vehicle that contained a baby. In no case, under no circumstances, does stolen merchandise ever equal a life lost — especially one as innocent as a 1-year-old child.

Rest easy, Kohen Kartier Wiley. 🕊️

She says she has had to save the Democratic Party from itself of having Kamala Harris as the nominee. Kinda undermines her apology.

[Tom Nichols @RadioFreeTom]

None of this makes any sense, except as desperate rationalizations from a man who cannot face facts and admit defeat. The president of the United States seems to be losing his grip on reality itself.

Wow.

Iran gets sanctions relief, the release of frozen funds, the ability to export oil, and a $300 billion reconstruction fund.

The U.S. gets a reiteration of the vague promise Iran won’t develop a nuke.

Hard to imagine a more thorough capitulation.

How do you know this administration is racist?

Every single time someone ask them about the quality of life for Black Americans they bring up CRIME STATISTICS (or WAREHOUSE JOBS) as a MEASURE of BLACK SUCCESS in the United States.

That's all we are to them.

My advice? Fuck a deck. I'm all decked out. Write an outline and sit down and write the script.

The average script page is 225 words. Four pages a day for 12 days, you have a television script. Add another fifteen days, you have a feature. And you're not done. Writing is rewriting. Put it away for another week, and come back with new eyes. I'm not saying it will be any good. Not yet. But it's a start.

Not telling you anything I'm not also doing.

If you put all that energy into a deck and it doesn't sell ---and trust me, most don't, all you have is a nice brochure. At least with a spec, you have something to show for it. Something you can build on.

Stop making excuses. Rip the band-aid off. Working full time? Toni Morrison got up at 3:45 am., wrote from 4 to 6, and then took her kids to school, and then edited books full time. And still managed to write Song Of Solomon, the Bluest Eye, and constant other classics while waiting for her shot.

Don't have a computer? Tarantino, Spike Lee, and Stallone all write by hand, which is something I've gone back to. Moleskine and Paper Mate markers. No distractions, you can do it a anywhere, and when you retype, gives you a second bite at the apple.

(Photograph your pages. If you lose your notebook or spill coffee on it, that's all she wrote.)

Don't start with four pages. Start with one. Fifteen minutes -- you spend longer in the shower, brushing your teeth, and scrolling.

I wish I could give you a shortcut, but I can't. Writing sucks. No way around that. If you box, no one else gonna put in the roadwork, skip rope, hit the bag, or get punched in the face for you. That's your job.

Everybody wants a hug, and to be told it's all going to be okay, and I can't tell you that. But what I can tell you is no unwritten script ever gets sold.

As for me? I've got miles to run and pages to hit. Keep going....Always Forward, Forward Always...

A 1-year-old in Mississippi was shot and killed by police after a cop opened fire on a vehicle involved in an alleged shoplifting incident at a Walmart. An adult was also critically wounded.

A witness says they saw 2 women leaving the store with an infant, Kohen Kartier Wiley, and a box of diapers. Relatives deny that Wiley's mother and aunt were shoplifting, with some saying they had a digital receipt on a phone.

This is a national tragedy.

The officers knew about Kohen Kartier Wiley being in the car before they opened fire.

Firing into a moving vehicle in a crowded parking lot over a non-violent offense is both criminally reckless and completely unjustified.

RIP Kohen Kartier Wiley
