News 12 The Bronx Staff Updated on: Aug 21, 2021, 5:54pm, with VIDEO REPORT AT LINK
A basketball tournament was held in the Bronx in honor of 17-year-old Brandon Hendricks more than a year after he was fatally shot.
Organizers named the event “The Mother’s Love Tournament” and took time to specifically honor Brandon’s mother, Eve Hendricks.
Eve says it was a tough day as she was surrounded by reminders of her late son.
“I wish he was here. I’m looking at everyone here, looking as life goes by, kids are playing, doing things that he loves, and it does hurt,” Eve says. “At the same time, I’m happy that he's loved and will always be remembered."
Players at the tournament wore jerseys with Brandon’s face and the phrase “Live Like Five” printed on them, which is a reference to Brandon’s number on his jersey when he played for Monroe High School.
Norma Saunders, a family friend and organizer of the event, says it was important the event honored Brandon as well as his mother Eve.
“Her strength is so much strength for a lot of mothers, a lot of parents, a lot of aunts and uncles and grandparents who are going through the same thing,” Saunders says. “We have to let them know we're here for them."
Eve says her son was a mentor and a leader who was making college plans beyond basketball. She says Brandon stayed away from the streets but, despite not being the intended target, was shot and killed just days after his high school graduation.
"He wanted to go to school, he wanted to graduate,” Eve says. “He wanted to make his mother proud."
Eve says his son continues to live on in the memories that she and other loved ones hold on to.
"Even though that he's gone, he matters even more in death than in life,” Eve says.

That’s the fewest number of officers since November 2017, and it’s 15% lower than the 416 cops who worked there when Brown took command of the department in April 2020....

MAJOR "ready for battle" shooting WITH 4 DEAD including an infant; perp taken alive after gunfight:

updated with: perp is Ex-Marine Sharpshooter...a veteran of the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq...fatally shot a man, two women and an infant inside two homes near Lakeland, Fla.; girl, 11, was wounded
edit to add:
Sheriff Judd said at a news conference that Mr. Riley was experiencing symptoms of post-traumatic stress disorder and was wearing body armor and camouflage when he barricaded himself inside one of the homes. There was no known connection between the victims and Mr. Riley, who works as a body guard, the sheriff said.
“But he says at one point to our detectives, ‘They begged for their lives, and I killed them anyway,’” Sheriff Judd said on Sunday afternoon. “He’s evil in the flesh. He was a rabid animal.”
True that it would be unlikely for a social worker to call him "evil in the flesh", but at the same time, he or she could only do so if they survived a counseling session alive.
Alex Murdaugh, the descendant of a prominent family of lawyers in rural South Carolina, was shot on Saturday, nearly three months after his wife and son were killed at their home.
For nearly three months, the question of who killed the wife and son of Alex Murdaugh, a prominent lawyer in rural South Carolina, has gripped the state’s Lowcountry region as harrowing details of the crime emerged but the police made no arrests.
On Saturday, the mystery deepened further when Mr. Murdaugh himself was shot in the head while changing a tire on the side of the road, according to his lawyer, Jim Griffin, who said Mr. Murdaugh was conscious and able to speak on the telephone from his hospital bed.
Mr. Murdaugh told one of his brothers from the hospital that he had pulled over to change the tire when someone in a truck drove past him, then drove back around and shot him, Mr. Griffin said.
Tommy Crosby, a spokesman for the South Carolina Law Enforcement Division, the police agency that is investigating the original double killing, confirmed that Mr. Murdaugh had been shot in Hampton County, a rural county that borders Georgia, but said he could provide no more details.
Mr. Murdaugh is a lawyer whose father, grandfather and great-grandfather each served as the top prosecutor for a broad swath of the southern part of the state over more than eight decades, forming a legal dynasty that has made people wonder whether they were targeted.
On June 7, he returned to his family’s home in Islandton, a hamlet of fewer than 100 people, and discovered his wife, Maggie Murdaugh, and his son, Paul Murdaugh, a college student, fatally shot.
Since then, questions have swirled about who the perpetrator could be, and the family has received intense scrutiny, particularly over the fact that Paul Murdaugh was, at the time of his death, awaiting trial on charges of boating under the influence related to a 2019 crash that killed a 19-year-old woman who was a passenger [....]

Two of the suspects involved were reportedly detained at one of the gates and several witnesses were assisting police in confirming the suspects' identities.
My 11yr old and I witnessed it. 3 ran by followed by 5, then a mob of over 50 followers. We also saw group of 5-6 assault another in front of KSTP. It moved around for 15 minutes. Mob mentality for sure.
STATE FAIR: Staff near the main gate was reportedly just maced by a suspect and EMS has been requested by officers on scene. A large group in the area has now mostly disbursed toward Snelling Ave.
*Dispersed. SPPD officers were called to assist officers at the fair with the disorderly group. Still unclear how many people needed medical attention after the mace was used.
Some inside the fairgrounds were not being allowed to leave through the main gate, but officers said they were working on a "controlled departure" of guests soon.
Regarding the mace, the Pioneer Press reports it was actually deployed by deputies in an effort to disperse the large crowd trying to rush the gate, not deployed by an unknown suspect as it initially seemed. Staff were apparently caught in the cross-mace. https://t.co/BsWTbY6qbN

different case early Sunday
Three men were fatally shot in a southwest Atlanta parking lot not far from Atlanta police headquarters early Sunday morning, just hours after detectives opened their 100th homicide investigation this year. Officers responded to the area of Whitehall and McDaniel streets near I-20 about 12:45 a.m., where they found three men between 35 and 45 years old who had injuries “consistent with gunfire,” Atlanta police homicide commander Lt. Daniel Genson said. All three victims were pronounced dead at the scene...

Horrific terrible irony:
short TV segment from local NYC news last night very worth a watch because it also covers black clergy of United Clergy Commission holding two press conferences in Brooklyn to PROMOTE MORE POLICE PRESENCE in the crime ridden neighborhoods, and specifically citing recent homicides, not just the woman from Haiti. If that's not clear enough for you, let me be blunt: they have decided enough is enough, can't take any more funerals from violence and it is time to murder the anti-police BLM movement and partner with NYPD. I am pretty sure that most of their flocks were already there before they were...

NYPD found a pretty clear video of the killer at the 95th & First auto repair shop on Monday morning:
that's this incident from above where one one of the two victims shot died soon after:
cameras are everywhere in NYC, especially in Manhattan. That's a good neighborhood but there are few doormen, and no high rises, so there's probably more cameras to substitute!

lots of pictures and videos in the article, including of his mother,
and of the police chief of Prince Georges County,
whose name is Malik Aziz who happens to be have black skin
WHY DOES FUCKING BLM IGNORE STORIES LIKE THIS? It's a sickening distorted very selective narrative they are selling. In their world, the only black children that die are killed by white cops, instead of the many that a killed by young males of color shooting into groups and investigated by black police officers. IT'S SICK.

I've got a news bulletin for official BLM: you're probably not going to achieve anything remotely near your #DEFUND dreams until somebody first kills Rap Culture. It doesn't happen like magic, it took cops a lot of man hours to track down and bring in this guy. That costs taxpayer money, the kind of money that doesn't grow on trees, especially in bad neighborhoods with falling income. Yes, some conservatives do actually agree with BLM in a way, get tired paying for your cops, why not just move away and let them all kill and maim each other with no accounting for it?

Chicago's River North becomes HORRIFYING DYSTOPIA, right on State Street:
What a disgusting, frightening culture; right out of the sci-fi movies, we are there!
Seems like this is the world you get with "DEFUND" :
...slow responses are the new normal under strategies deployed by CPD Supt. David Brown, whose master plan has stripped local police districts of officers. The 18th District, which includes River North, currently has just 351 cops assigned to work its streets, according to Chicago’s Office of the Inspector General. That’s the fewest number of officers since November 2017, and it’s 15% lower than the 416 cops who worked there when Brown took command of the department in April 2020....

edit to add this on the stabbing of the Chase teller. If Chase's reaction is not crazed irrational fear of the whole city going down, I don't know what is!!! Might as well call it terrorism because that's what is happening, people and corporations are terrorized thinking no one is going to investigate anything and no one is going to try to protect them
