You fought the law and the law won

And rightfully so. This girl named Heather Smith took this video of the Appleton, WI police department supposedly beating down a bunch of teenagers outside the Appleton Public Library. What you don't see on this video is what happened before this person started taping. The best part of this is that Heather and her "friends" are trying to make it sound the like the Police are so horrible and bad people and deserve to be ridiculed. Well I'll let you look at the video and post and let's see if you can see why this person and her friends need a lesson in...well...everything!


Make sure you go click on this and read some of the comments as they may be more entertaining then the actual video. I picked out a couple of favorites.

And now here's the actual story from the Appleton PD:
Multiple Officers Respond for Downtown Disturbance (posted April 16, 2014)

On April 14, 2014, at 4:20PM, the Appleton Police Department received information of a large group of people arguing or fighting in the area between the Valley Transit Center and Appleton Public Library. Several units responded on the initial dispatch.

At 4:22PM, officers were informed an additional caller was reporting 6 to 7 people fighting in the parking lot of the Appleton Public Library. Officers arriving on scene took two individuals into custody who were yelling profanities at others. Both of the individuals taken into custody began to physically resist efforts by officers, who were attempting to escort them to squad cars. A radio request for additional officers was made as a result of the crowd size, the continued disturbance and individuals resisting officers.

As officers addressed the two initial individuals and additional officers arrived, others in the crowd of people continued to yell profanities. Some of these individuals refused to comply with orders from officers to disperse or move from the roadway. Their continued behavior resulted in two other individuals being taken into custody, including one subject who attempted to punch an officer. Two of the juveniles arrested in the disturbance were intoxicated.

No officers were injured in the disturbance. One juvenile received minor injuries while resisting officers. He refused treatment.

The Appleton Police Department arrested four subjects at the disturbance. Charges of Disorderly Conduct and Resisting Arrest are being requested on each subject. Three of the individuals are juveniles. One juvenile was confined at the Brown County Juvenile Detention facility as a result of his actions.

A 17-year old from Menasha is being charged as an adult. In addition to the aforementioned charges, Brandon J. Peters (M/W, 10/25/96) is also being charged with Bail Jumping and Possession of Drug Paraphernalia. 
Yeah some BS for show! (whatever) This has been a lesson in the deterioration of the human race.

Let me start this by saying I use Facebook and other social media networks as a main form of communication for a lot of people. I use Facebook messenger on my phone almost as much as actual texting, and I do it with a smile. I love the ease of communication that something like Facebook, Twitter or even Google + offers.

One thing I wouldn't do is tell someone horrible news via facebook, you know like maybe a loved one passed away. Unfortunately the Clayton County Police Department in Georgia doesn't agree with me.

"Society has accepted social media as a major form of communication, and so have I," a statement prepared by a detective in the Clayton County Police Department reads. Word got out that his department used Facebook to notify a woman of her son's death.
The statement, provided to TODAY, explains that "several traditional attempts" were made to notify the family of 30-year-old Ricky Lamb after the man died. "We make every possible attempt to apply best practices when handling these sensitive matters," the statement emphasizes. After the traditional notification attempts failed, officers took to Facebook, sending the deceased's mother a private message via the social network.
As the Atlanta Journal-Constitution (AJC) reports, the mother, Anna Lamb-Creasey, did not see the heartbreaking message until almost a month later. Due to the way Facebook handles messages from individuals with whom a user isn't "friends," the correspondence was buried in a folder labeled "Other." It never appeared in Lamb-Creasey's regular inbox. Additionally, Lamb-Creasey told the AJC, the message came from an account belonging to a "Misty Hancock" which had "the profile picture of Atlanta rapper TI." Both Lamb-Creasey and her daughter assumed that the message was fake when they saw it.
But as time passed and Lamb appeared to be missing, Lamb-Creasey's daughter finally called the phone number listed on the strange Facebook profile "and an officer gave her the bad news."
TODAY has made multiple attempts to reach Lamb-Creasey for comment, but we have not heard back. She did tell the AJC that she was both furious that officers didn't manage to reach her via traditional means, and confused about the Facebook account used to contact her.
"People need to know that it's a police department trying to contact them. If you just have a picture of a rapper TI no one's gonna take that serious," Melissa Wilson, a friend of Lamb-Creasey, pointed out to the AJC.
"In an effort to prevent this from occurring again, immediate changes are being made," the Clayton County Police Department statement explains. For starters, the department will launch an official Facebook page.
"This site will serve as another format to relay current events and notifications to the community that we serve," the statement adds. "We will continue the traditional methods of personal face to face contact as we integrate this new tool of social media." Additionally, a "thorough review" of the Ricky Lamb death notification will be conducted.

The fun of promised sharing on Facebook

First this morning I saw this picture from Bill Gates


Next came this one in response from a friend and a local guy who is not a multibillionaire.


First, Bill I want that in cash please, unmarked bills preferably, and (person I will leave nameless just in case) I'm sure my wife would love to take you shopping. If a billion people can watch "Gangnam Style" then you can surely get a bill....oh tril....oh wait what number is that?
