Girl Dad who was harassed for taking his girls to an empty women’s restroom at a Florida gas station gives an update. He says police did show up and they quickly dismissed the man’s complaint. He also thanks the employee for stepping in and helping with the situation.

Young teenage boys in the park, enjoying the park and yes, white supremacist are uncomfortable so they call the police and forced them out of the park. Freedom and liberty in America.

FTP: LAPD killed her dog. He was wearing his Knicks jersey. His name was Jameson. A golden doodle. One of the sweetest, most gentle breeds alive. A neighbor called a noise complaint. That's it. 20+ officers showed up. Then a helicopter. For a noise complaint in an apartment complex. And they shot Jameson dead. In front of his owner. In front of her child. No warning. No de-escalation. Nothing. The media is barely covering this. No headlines. No outrage. Like it never happened. If this was your dog... your child watching... how would you feel? Jameson deserved better. That little boy deserved better. His mama deserved better.

💔 LAPD killed a woman’s dog during a welfare check, all because she was yelling in her own apartment celebrating the Knicks’ Finals win. Then they just stand there over the body like it’s nothing. Absolute madness.

Imagine having a daughter that sings as beautifully as you do!!! 😍😇🤩💪🏾
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
The girl in the video is singer Liamani Segura, not Mariah Carey's daughter Monroe Cannon. youtube.com/watch?v=fFKEqA… wgtd.org/news/racine-na…
