Nigeria has stepped up screening at its airports after the county recorded a second Ebola case. A Nigerian doctor who treated an infected Liberian man who travelled to Lagos and later died has contracted the disease. A third person is also being monitored. The World Health Organisation has reported 61 new cases across West African countries in just two days. In Sierra Leone fear of the deadly disease is crippling commerce. Only medical prevention officers are seen on the streets. The density of Ebola cases is highest here and the government has launched a military operation involving 750 troops to implement quarantines in more remote areas. So far the death toll in this year’s outbreak has reached nearly 900. In response, the World Bank is giving $200 million ( 149 million euros) to the three countries worst affected – Guinea, Sierra Leone and Liberia. In New York, a man exhibiting symptoms of the disease is being tested after having travelled to a West African nation. Highly contagious, Ebola can kill up to 90 percent of those infected. Symptoms include fever vomiting and internal and external bleeding. A second American aid worker who contracted the Ebola virus in Africa is being flown to Atlanta in a serious condition. Specialists at Emory University Hospital are already treating a 33-year-old doctor who was stricken while working as part of a emergency response unit to the initial outbreak of the disease in Africa.   Less

A Cook County sheriff’s deputy who kept referring to his more than two decades of law enforcement experience did his best to intimidate a citizen from recording him, even to the point of pulling out his handcuffs and ordering the man to turn around. But when the man and his female companion insisted on knowing what law was being broken, the deputy started spouting out lies. Read more at Photography is Not a Crime.   Less

Darlington County Sheriff responds after video surfaces of officer turning off camera

State Senator Gerald Malloy of Hartsville is one of the sponsors who filed a bill last week that would make sure people aren't charged with interference when they turn on their cameras. It also says, as long as it happens on public property and whoever does the recording is in a place they can be legally. The bill would also prohibit officers from taking their phone or anyone's phone during a traffic stop. Officers would not be able to delete your pictures. This comes after the Walter Scott shooting in North Charleston earlier this month, when now-former police officer Michael Slager shot and killed Scott after a traffic stop. The video of that shooting was caught on a cell phone camera. Last week Darlington County Sheriff Wayne Byrd posted a statement to the sheriff's office's Facebook page in support of the proposed bill. "You know it's a bill that not only protects the citizens' rights but also gives a degree of protection to the officer,” Sheriff Byrd mentioned. However, a video is posted on YouTube of an incident back in 2013 that happened at Darlington Raceway campgrounds. It shows a man recording the drug enforcement unit, after Sheriff Byrd says there was a suspicion of marijuana there. One of the deputy's approaches him and says "you want to go to jail?” Then he proceeds to cut the camera off   Less

Security video, obtained through a Public Records Act request, appears to show corrections officers kicking and punching Juarez after he was shocked with an electric stun gun.   Less

Man Arrested For "Cursing" And Recording Officer On His Own Property

Short Version: Cop didn't like the man cursing on his own property, nor did he like the man recording him. So, he tased and arrested him. Long Version: Video has emerged showing a Georgia man being tased by a Jones County sheriff’s deputy while attempting to record him on his cell phone. According to an incident report, Deputy Wesley Ransom had responded to Shady Springs Drive back in February after neighbors of Luis Marmolejo called animal control to report that his dog had attacked their cat. (incident report) Ransom said when he first made contact with Marmolejo, he “immediately became highly agitated” and started cussing. Marmolejo admitted being upset but said he grabbed his cellphone to record the interaction after he calmed down. After walking off his front porch, Marmolejo is seen in the footage attempting to video the car tag of Ransom’s truck. The deputy is heard warning him to get away from the vehicle. Marmolejo is then seen in the video walking back toward Ramson and his neighbors before he says, “I’m not doing anything,” and Ransom tells him to go inside his house. According to Marmolejo, Ransom grabbed at his taser so he began to backing up toward his porch. He did not stop recording however, and Ransom is heard yelling for him to put his phone down and his hands behind his back. Marmolejo refuses and keeps walking back toward his house before Ransom is seen grabbing at the phone, which disables it from properly video recording what happens next. Marmolejo says it is at this point that he turned his back on the deputy at the top step of his porch. Ransom then deploys his taser and Marmolejo can be heard screaming in the video before he is arrested and taken to jail on the charge of obstructing a officer. He was released on bond at the station and is scheduled to appear in court for the charge on June 2. It is unclear whether he plans on taking civil action against Ransom or the Jones County sheriff’s department. Spokespeople for the department have not commented on the incident but individuals have the right to record police officers. Courts have ruled that the activity is only reprehensible if it obstructs or interferes with their duties. Police cannot use the act of recording as a claim of interfering or obstructing.

How fast can you tie a tie? Well, one Indian man called 'tie-man' can tie a Windsor knot in under 20 seconds, faster than the previous world record. Deepak Sharma has already made his name in India's Book of National Records and the Limca Book of Records.This time he seems to have his name in the Guinness World Record for tying the Windsor knot in an impressive time of seventeen point ninety one seconds despite the fact that the clock stopped at eighteen point twenty two seconds. He will enter the books as soon as it is officially approved by the authorities. The Windsor knot is a method of tying a neck tie named after Britain's Duke of Windsor. The previous record belongs to Sam Dove of Cyprus with a time of twenty point twenty seven seconds.   Less

Fatal shooting of Joshua Ford. Dashcam footage provided by the Greene County Sheriff's Office on Jan 3, 2014

Deputies pleaded with Joshua Ford to get down and show his hands. “Nothing is worth getting shot over!” one of the deputies yelled. Police attempted to take Ford into custody Dec. 1 when a deputy thought he saw a gun, and Ford, with a sweater covering his hands, acted as if he had a gun. The deputy shot Ford three times. The video shows, as was previously reported, an officer yelling, “He doesn’t have anything,” less than a second before Cpl. Michael Hurney shot Ford. A recently released report on the shooting by the Greene County prosecutor says Hurney was justified in the shooting. The video shows Ford was shot while moving toward a deputy, with the deputy then moving toward Ford. Before Ford was shot, a deputy can be heard on the video saying, “Put your hands up. Nothing is worth it.” Later, with Ford not complying, a deputy yells, “I’m going to shoot you in the face.” Once shots were fired, Ford was taken into custody and an ambulance called. Deputies quickly worked to provide medical attention to Ford, according to both the deputy’s report and the video. The report says deputies requested a helicopter to transport Ford but were declined because of fog. Ford was transported to a local hospital for treatment. He was later pronounced dead at the hospital. #financial_support_div{ display:none; position: absolute; width:300px; height:140px; margin-left: -150px; margin-top: -70px; /*- half of width and height */ top:50%; left:50%; padding: 5px; opacity:0.9; filter:alpha(opacity=90); z-index:1000; background-color:#000; color: white; } .close_box{ background: gray; color:#fff; padding:1px 3px; display:inline; position:absolute; right:1px; margin-right: -13px; margin-top: -13px; border-radius:3px; cursor:pointer; border: 1px #000 solid; } $(document).on("click",".close_box",function(){ $(this).parent().fadeTo(300,0,function(){ $(this).remove(); }); }); Loading the player ...   Less

Police in Pinal County, Arizona, claimed that the shooting death of a suspected car thief two weeks ago came after the man had turned to reach for a weapon. But video surfaced this week from a bystander, showing that the suspect had turned his back to officers, with his hands held high in the air. Manuel Longoria, of Mesa, led police on a 40-minute chase in Eloy, and only stopped after sheriff’s deputies crippled the stolen Toyota Corolla with a tire-popping device. Witnesses said that Longoria told police after he got out of the car, surrounded, that he wouldn’t be taken alive. Police fired Tasers and beanbags at him before he turned around. The video shows him with his hands above his head. One second later, a sheriff’s deputy fired two shots into him, killing him. Investigators found no weapon. The Pinal County Sheriff’s Office said it investigated the shooting and found the officer’s use of lethal force justified. The shooter returned to duty a week later.

Robot vs Rubik's Cube World Record smashed in UK

Here at Guavo HQ we love technology... and it doesn't get better than a robot story to get us excited! Now meet the CUBESTORMER 3 robot which very impressively uses ARM-powered processor technology to be able to solve a Rubik's Cube in the fastest time known to mankind. This weekend at the Big Bang Fair in Birmingham, the UK's biggest single celebration of science & engineering for young people robot history was made. The 3rd model of the CUBESTORMER kicked Rubik's Cube ass and managed to achieve an incredible solving time of 3.253 SECONDS... It is now officially the fastest-ever time set by a robot for the completion of a Rubik's cube and the result of 18 months of effort by co-inventors David Gilday and Mike Dobson who worked on the project in their spare time. David Gilday is a principle engineer at ARM, the world's leading processor design company based in Cambridge, and co-inventor Mike Dobson, a security systems engineer for Securi-Plex. He said: "We knew CUBESTORMER 3 had the potential to beat the existing record but with the robot perfoming physical operations quicker than the human eye can see there's always an element of risk," The new robot uses an ARM-powered Samsung Galaxy S4 smartphone to act as the brain of the robot and analyse the cube and instruct four robotic hands to do the hard work physical manipulation. The robot device is also built with colourful Lego bricks from the toy company's Technic range which gives it a kind of friendlier appearance, as opposed to something scary from one of the Terminator movie franchises in Hollywood. The world record was officially adjudicated and verified on the day at the NEC in Birmingham by Craig Glenday, Editor-in-chief of the annual Guinness World Records Book.

As trying to flee away from the scene, the vehicle rammed into the rear of another motorbike moving ahead almost immediately after that, causing Long, Huy and the girl riding the motorbike fell down on the road. They tried to stand up in a hurry, but fell again as the scooter was off balance. As soon as people nearby shout out about the robbery, and many others realized that the two men were the robbers, they round them up. At that time, a PC45 task force which was on a patrol appeared and immediately seized control of the situation, arresting the two and bringing them to the headquarter of District 10 police agency for detain and investigation. Through taking testimony, Long confessed had a criminal record for asset robbery. According to the report from the victim, a 36-year-old woman living in the district, she was carrying two mobile phones and a wallet containing several papers inside when being robbed.   Less

The first 12 of these videos can be found in Set #1 and four more each in Sets #2 and #3. Two are included in Set #4, there in #5. Here are another four.. Here are three more. Pursuant to a Public Records Request under NM law - all videos of the officers (helmet or lapel) at the scene of the James Boyd murder on March 16th were demanded to be produced. The following (incomplete - a violation of the law) set were obtained. These are the videos in their RAW form. They are being analyzed and there will be compilation and analysis videos to follow using these. These raw form videos are presented here for two purposes - to serve as the original source material for further productions of video and news stories that will utilize these - so people can see the primary source material for themselves; and for other citizen journalists and citizens to be able to see and use these materials for further work and for general public information. These records and posts will also be an ongoing project - being updated over time - and will be used for the video analysis. Thus I have opened up the ability for people to create their own annotations - in the hope that others interested and concerned about this issue will contribute to trying to understand the information contained in these records.
