A mother and her three young children were trapped inside an upside-down SUV that was filling with water in a Florida canal.
One of the little boys was banging on the door, screaming that his mom’s head was underwater.
That’s when Casey Curtis heard the cries and ran toward the canal. He reached the submerged SUV and started pulling the children out one by one, getting all three to safety.
But their mother was still inside.
Casey went back to the vehicle and found her unconscious, still buckled into her seat with her head underwater. He lifted her face above the water, realized she wasn’t breathing and gave her a breath right there in the canal.
She started breathing again.
The mother spent several days in intensive care, but she survived. All three of her children survived too.
Those kids watched a stranger pull them from a sinking SUV, then turn around and go back into the water for their mom when she couldn’t save herself. Casey Curtis is the kind of person people should know about.
🤠⭐️"You're trespassed from there forever."
May 19, 2013 — after the Jordan Valley Big Loop Rodeo in Jordan Valley, Malheur County, Oregon.
Steve Hindi, president of animal-rights group SHARK, was asked to leave the rodeo over filming. He paid admission, then left.
Malheur County Sheriff’s Deputies Brian Belnap and Brian Beck followed him about 10 miles and found him parked on the side of the road.
On Belnap’s body cam, the stated reason: Hindi “failed to provide ID” after being “trespassed from the sporting event,” and they needed ID because the car didn’t come back to him.
Belnap then told Hindi he was permanently trespassed from Jordan Valley Rodeo Club property and would be arrested if he returned.
Hindi said he was never formally trespassed at the grounds and left when asked.
Later FOIA audio captured the deputies discussing that the rodeo had asked him to leave rather than trespass him while they were there, and worry about a lawsuit.
Then-Sheriff Brian Wolfe said there was no probable cause for a crime or traffic violation and that the deputies were following a supervisor’s direction.
SHARK said a lawsuit against the county later settled for about $25,000.
The lesson for cops and civilians is the same: finish the contact at the property, or don’t restart it on the highway without a new, independent reason.
❓What’s the difference between “asked to leave” and “trespassed”?
❓When does protecting a rodeo become using the badge as private security?
🚨When the police chief meets his match.
James Freeman walked into the public lobby of the Logan Police Department in Utah and filmed what was plainly visible — memorials, the space itself, officers coming and going.
No restricted area. No disruption. Just a camera.
Logan Police Chief Gary Jensen comes out and spots him, demands ID, and treats the filming as inherently suspicious.
“If you’re gonna come into my lobby and videotape in today’s day and age, I have the right to ask you to identify yourself.”
The recorder points out that photography is not a crime, that the lobby is public, and that Utah’s stop-and-ID law still requires reasonable suspicion of a crime.
Jensen calls for backup, tells him he is detained, then later asks him to leave the public lobby.
This is the clip.
❓What was more suspicious — the camera, or the reaction to it?
❓If press credentials aren’t required by law, why demand them?
❓Do you think police nowadays learning anything from watching older audit videos like this one from 2018? Why not?
“I have no problem with Peter Obi's wife carrying a luxury bag; her husband is a billionaire. He was before he came into government. The only problem I have with him is he says he only has one shoe and one watch, but when you put yourself in a certain light, and things around you don't seem to add to that light, there is a problem. He (Peter Obi) is honest and humble, but are people around him as prudent as he is?” — Daddy Freeze reacts to his wife carrying a Hermès bag worth hundreds of thousands of dollars
@DeeOneAyekooto@femigbaja This shows you how much these guys dey touch inside politics. The earlier Nigerians start treating these men as public servants, the better.
@DeeOneAyekooto@femigbaja A symptom of failed institution. Why beg your fellow man just for ephemeral. He should apply for Gbaja's cobbler to retain the crumbs falling from Gbaja's table.
@HJB_News__ An Awful lot of wild and insane assumptions in the comments and even the caption 🤣 where is the proof of their legal status? What have these guys done wrong except not be white and trigger your envy ?
