The Soros-funded, Obama-connected prosecutor who controversially dropped all felony charges against actor Jussie Smollett has rebuffed calls for her to step down. On Saturday, she (and several supporters) also played the race card against the the Chicago police union that is demanding that Cook County State’s Attorney Kim Foxx resign from office. Thirty suburban Cook County police chiefs have similarly released an open letter that indicated no confidence in her stewardship of the Chicago-land jurisdiction.

Live PD is the ratings-winning law enforcement ride-along show that airs on Friday and Saturday evenings at 9 p.m. Eastern time on the A&E television network. Videographers embed with officers from eight different police agencies.
A self-described “international criminal lawyer for the Palestinian people” who spewed F bombs and racially charged insults during a rant on an Air India flight is heading to jail. Simone Burns, a.k.a., Simone O’Broin, pleaded guilty in March to assault and being drunk on an aircraft. On Thursday, a London court sentenced her to six months behind bars. Reportedly, the source of the November 2018 dispute is that flight attendants declined to serve her a fourth bottle of wine on the Mumbai to London morning flight. Cops arrested Burns when the plane landed at Heathrow airport.
Robert Kraft Is Fighting the Law – Will the Law Win?
Attorneys for Robert Kraft and Palm Beach, County, Fla, prosecutors are still jockeying for position in the pending criminal case against the billionaire New England Patriots owner. It appears, however, that apart from the authorities’ initial splashy press conference and some subsequent comments, no evidence of human trafficking at the Jupiter, Fla., massage parlor has apparently emerged. This raises a fundamental question: Shouldn’t local cops be investigating or preventing serious felonies rather than spending/wasting time pursuing low-level charges against Mr. Kraft and other spa customers. If human trafficking was really going on, cops in the multi-county investigation were duty-bound to immediately rescue the women held against their will and shut down the locations rather than investigate for six months or so. Although prostitution is obviously illegal in Florida, morality aside, it appears that the scenario revolves around consenting adults engaging in commerce.
Broward County, Fla., bond court is one of the more entertaining YouTube channels. The video content for each day the court is in session gives viewers a sense of how the court system operates. Even given the judges’ varied and sometimes engaging personalities, the court almost always finds probable cause for the charges in the short hearings handled via video. Judges do adjust the bond amounts downward, however, or resolve cases based on time served, however. Suspects held on serious, violent felonies sit side by side with those facing relatively minor misdemeanors. With so many defendants crowded into the main hearing room, viewers probably have wondered about security. Appropriately so, especially given the lackluster reputation of the Broward County Sheriff’s Office.
El Paso, Texas, cop Andrea Zendejas, often featured on the ride-along TV show Live PD, was a passenger in an alleged early morning DUI-related car crash. According to the El Paso Times, which obtained a police complaint affidavit, Zendejas’ face “was covered with blood” after the accident. Fortunately her injuries are described as minor. The driver of the Dodge Ram pickup that allegedly rear-ended a parked Mazda, Officer Thomas Sneed, 39, has also appeared on the hit reality series. Sneed was reportedly driving Zendejas to a friend’s residence after they left a bar near police headquarters when the accident occurred.
In the aftermath of the Jussie Smollett apparent hoax, several college professors have concluded that hate crime hoaxes are more common than popular perception. Chicago cops have charged the Empire actor with disorderly conduct for filing a false police report after a claim that he was assaulted by two MAGA-hat wearing, MAGA-country shouting Trump supporters. Some two dozen detectives investigated the Smollett case in a city that is engulfed in an ongoing gun violence crime wave. Hate crime hoaxes obviously prevent law enforcement authorities from deploying resources to investigate real hate crimes and/or serious felonies.
Ever notice how the left actually engages in the very behavior that it accuses the right of doing? It’s happened again. Police at the University of Berkeley, the “birthplace of the free speech movement,” say that have identified an individual who is suspected of physically assaulting a conservative activist who was recruiting for Turning Point USA.
Most of America probably never heard of Empire actor Jesse Smollett who claimed he was a victim of a late-night, racially charged, homophobic MAGA attack during the polar vortex in Chicago. Many Americans likely had an inkling that this was yet another hate crime hoax. The Trump-hating media nonetheless immediately amplified the allegations as did the self-righteous blue-check Twitter cohort and various prominent Democrats when it first broke. Although all the facts are yet to come in from the police investigation, and even the FBI got involved, some news outlets are now reporting that the incident may indeed have been a staged hoax.
The suspect in a dramatic gunfight with Arkansas cops was a beneficiary of the Obama-era DACA program according to a Washington Times report.
The traffic-stop shootout was recently featured on the “crime of the week” segment of Live PD.
The Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals policy created by a 2012 Obama executive order postponed deportation for approximately 800,000 undocumented immigrants who entered the U.S. before age 16 and prior to June 2007 and granted them work permits renewable on a two-year basis along with certain government benefits. Most of the so-called Dreamers are now said to be in the mid-to-late-20s age range.
The Dreamer terminology evolved from the Development, Relief, and Education for Alien Minors Act (i.e., the Dream Act) that never passed Congress and which prompted ex-President Obama to invoke an executive action.

From the Washington Times:
“The illegal immigrant whose shootout with an Arkansas sheriff’s deputy last week was caught on a dashboard cam and went viral was in the U.S. under the Obama-era DACA program, U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement said Monday.
“[The suspect], 29, faces charges of terrorism and attempted capital murder after a shooting spree that saw him open fire at on police during two separate confrontations as he tried to escape a routine traffic stop last week, authorities said.
“[The suspect] had at least two previous arrests, officials said, including one misdemeanor charge in 2015 that brought him to ICE’s attention. But the Obama administration, which was in office at the time, concluded he wasn’t a danger, and declined to pursue deportation.
“ICE did not lodge a detainer against [the suspect] in 2015 as he is a DACA recipient and did not meet the threshold for enforcement under the DHS enforcement priorities in place at that time,” the agency told The Washington Times…
“Authorities arrested a spate of DACA recipients last year on charges of smuggling other illegal immigrants at the border. President Trump has proposed phasing out the DACA program, though several judges have halted that plan, saying he cut too many corners. The case is likely headed for the Supreme Court.”
