Anti-Cop Rally Held in Times Square: A mere two days after the gunning down of a New York City police officer by a career criminal in East Harlem, anti-police activists swarmed Times Square Thursday in protest of "police terror and murder." Fox News reports that the demonstrators, decrying "victims of police murder," displayed pictures of Michael Brown next to "wanted" posters of Darren Wilson, carried black flags with the anarchy symbol, and one man suggested for "the whole justice system to be dismantled." On Thursday evening, officer Randolph Holder, an African-American and second-generation police officer, was fatally shot after responding to a report of an armed robbery. "People have had enough of the anti-cop protest," says President of Sergeants Benevolent Association Ed Mullins, describing the protesters as "a naysayer group."
Ole Miss Students Arrested in Alleged Hazing: Five University of Mississippi students were arrested Friday for the brutal beating of another student earlier in the month. The AP reports that Jeremy Boyle suffered a concussion, ruptured eardrum and several broken teeth after he was attacked by five people outside the Sigma Pi fraternity house in the early morning hours of Oct. 6. Tucker Cole Steil, an 18-year-old freshman, was charged Friday with felony assault while four other freshman, all 19, were charged with misdemeanors including simple assault, hazing and theft. An initial police report does not specify why the assault is being classified as hazing or what items were allegedly stolen. The victim's father, Brian Boyle, believes his son's attackers did not face stiff enough penalties, saying they were simply "slapped on the wrist." Many more joined in his outrage after the five attackers mugshots were published in the press, showing all but Steil grinning for the camera.
AB 109er Gets Life for Rape, Kidnapping: A California man was sentenced Thursday to life in prison without the possibility of parole for the March 2013 kidnapping and rape of a 10-year-old girl, committed while he was released from prison under AB 109, California's prison realignment policy. Miriam Hernandez of ABC 7 reports that 34-year-old Tobias Dustin Summers was convicted last month on 32 felony counts including sexual assault, kidnapping and burglary for kidnapping a young girl from her bedroom in Northridge at knifepoint and raping her repeatedly before releasing her. He was arrested in Mexico one month later after checking himself into a rehab facility under a fake name. Earlier reports reveal that Summers was released under AB 109 in July 2012 and had extensive criminal history that included convictions for kidnapping, robbery, possession of explosives and petty theft.
