Has the country reached a tipping point?
The
killings of Michael Brown, Eric Garner and John Crawford III, among
others, by police officers this year focused national attention on race,
police violence and the apparent unwillingness of grand juries to indict those who carry a badge.
The incidents spurred research that found
black men are 21 times more likely to be killed by police than their
white counterparts. And recent reports have found an accurate count of
all police killings is nearly impossible because of the way records are kept.
As the year ends, mass protests against the killings continue, undeterred by claims that protesters have blood on their hands.
What follows are some of the most well-known and controversial instances of officers using deadly force in 2014.

After almost 20 years of marriage, Chris Rock and his wife are breaking up.
Rock's
publicist confirmed the news to USA TODAY: "Chris Rock has filed for
divorce from his wife, Malaak. This is a personal matter and Chris
requests privacy as he and Malaak work through this process and focus on
their family."
Malaak Compton-Rock issued a statement about the split to People:
"After much contemplation and 19 years of marriage, Chris and I have
decided to go our separate ways ... While recognizing that this is a
significant change, my children remain at the center of my life and
their well-being is my top priority. It is in this spirit that I
sincerely ask that their privacy and the privacy of our family be
respected during this transition in our lives." Rock, 49, and Compton-Rock, 45, wed in 1996. The couple have two daughters: Lola, 12, and Zahra, 10.
When CBS Sports Network taped the inaugural episode of “We Need To
Talk” in late September, the Ray Rice domestic violence scandal was
raging in the NFL — and at the water cooler.
Three of the show’s hosts shared similar stories: WNBA great Lisa
Leslie bravely admitted that she’d been beaten by a former fiancé while
the New York Liberty’s Swin Cash and Olympic swimmer Dara Torres shared
their own painful stories.
A debate on the role of the victim ensued.
“I know there were some tears shed after the first show,” says Allie
LaForce, a CBS Sports sideline reporter and one of the contributors to
“We Need to Talk,” TV’s first all-sports show hosted completely by
women.
“Because the big topic we were prepping for was domestic violence,
and the statistic for women who are abused was proven on our first show,
says LaForce.
“Nobody [on the show] knew it was going to happen.”
“WNTT,” which airs on cable’s CBS Sports Network, features a rotating
roster of top female talent in the world of sports, not only Cash,
Torres, Leslie and LaForce but also Leslie Visser, Tracy Wolfson, Dana
Jacobson, Summer Sanders, Laila Ali, Andrea Kremer and former Oakland
Raider’s CEO Amy Trask.
Instead of being relegated to a sideline reporter — or the lone women
on a traditional all-male sports-talk format — these women take center
stage, tackling diverse topics including domestic violence, concussions
and a much-maligned Men’s Health article advising dudes how to talk
sports with girls. (Spoiler: the fairer sex doesn’t care about stats.)
“WNTT” is wrapping its first season — and, on Saturday, will air a
special broadcast episode on CBS (1 p.m.). It’s expected to return to
its CBS Sports cable home in the spring with new episodes.
Brandon Duncan has no criminal record, but could face a life sentence
of 25 years in prison as prosecutors say his latest album lent artistic
motivation for a recent string of gang-related shootings.
San Diego County prosecutors have charged Duncan, 33, with nine
felonies connected to a wave of gang-related shootings in the
California city. Although the musician has not been charged with
discharging or providing firearms in the recent shootings,
prosecutors say his musical lyrics encourage gang behavior.
Duncan’s latest album, entitled "No Safety," features a
photograph of a revolver with bullets on the cover.
The gangsta rapper, who is being held on $1 million bail, is
scheduled to head to court in December. If found guilty of felony
charges, Duncan could serve a life sentence of 25 years in
prison, his lawyer said.
San Diego police say Duncan is a gang member, who goes by the
name TD.

Kwanzaa 2014: Dates, Facts, And History Of The Celebration Of Unity, Faith, And African Roots
Though many Americans don't know much about Kwanzaa, it is a holiday that all can share in. Dates
Kwanzaa is celebrated from December 26 through January 1st. History
Established by Maulana Karenga in 1966, Kwanzaa is a holiday that honors
African heritage and celebrates family, community and culture. It takes
its name from the phrase "matunda ya kwanza," which in Swahili means
"first fruits."
Kwanzaa's origin lies in the 1960s civil rights and Black Freedom
movements, and is a way of commemorating the African heritage of black
Americans whose ethnic history was stripped away by the slave trade.
Swahili is the most widely spoken African language, and was thus chosen
as the language of Kwanzaa's principles. According to Karenga,
"Kwanzaa was created to reaffirm and restore our rootedness in African
culture." It is a cultural rather than religious holiday, and can be
celebrated regardless of a person's faith tradition.
"First fruits" celebrations date back to ancient Egypt and Nubia, and commemorate the harvest. Colors
The colors black, red and green are part of Kwanzaa celebrations due to their special significance,
according to PBS. Black represents the people, red is for the blood
uniting all those with African ancestry, as well as the blood shed
during slavery and the civil rights movement and green is for the lush
land of Africa. These colors also reflect the Pan-African movement
itself. Principles
There are seven principles of Kwanzaa, celebrated on each day of the holiday and known collectively as Nguzo Saba. They are African values which are named in both Swahili and English.
Umoja: Unity
Kujichagulia: Self-determination
Ujima: Collective Work and Responsibility
Ujamaa: Cooperative Economics
Nia: Purpose
Kuumba: Creativity
Imani: Faith
Traditions
Families gather during Kwanzaa to light the kinara, a candle holder with
seven candles in the colors of red, black, and green. The black candle
is placed in the center and used to light the other flames from left to
right. Together, the candles are called the mishuuma saba, and they
represent the Seven Principles.
Other traditions include the kikombe cha umoja, or Unity Cup, which is used to pour libations in honor of ancestors departed.
Songs and dances are a popular way of celebrating Kwanzaa. "Lift Every Voice And Sing," also known as the Black National Anthem, is a song that celebrates the struggles and triumphs of black Americans. Greetings
Kwanzaa greetings are in Swahili and English. "Habari gani?" is a
traditional Swahili greeting, and the response is each of the
principles, depending on which day of Kwanzaa it is. Other greetings
include "Heri za Kwanzaa," or simply, "Happy Kwanzaa!"
A 34 year old white officer, who had six years experience,
encountered two suspects at the Mobile gas station after responding to
report of a theft. He didn’t know that one of the men was
armed. The officer fired three shots after the victim raised a pistol at
arm’s length. Surveillance video from Mobile station appears to support
the police version of events. Only one of the shots hit the victim. No
shots were fired by the victim’s “defaced” 9mm pistol.
Belmar said the shooting was a tragedy for the victim’s family and for police officer involved. The
officer will “carry the weight” of this for the rest of his life,
Belmar. He said the incident underscores the pressures police officers
face.
Two witnesses have given statements to the police. The police are looking for the friend of the victim who fled the scene.
A crowd of up 300 protesters gathered at the Mobile gas
station after the shooting and four arrests were made after police
officers were assaulted. Several bricks were thrown at police
officers and three “explosive devices” thought to be fireworks bound
together were set off. One police officer was hurt in the leg from one
of the explosions another was injured by a brick. Belmar said it was
“disturbing” that protests came armed with bricks and explosives.
Belmar said it was “unreasonable” to expect the officer to
have responded with mace or a taser when he was faced with a suspect
raising a gun. “The officer responded with what he thought was
commensurate force at the time,” Belmar said. He added: “Bad choices
were made ... this individual could have complied with the officer. It
didn’t have to end with him approaching him with is arm extended and an
9mm pistol in his hand.”
The police officer was wearing a body cam, but it was not activated at the time of the shooting. His
police vehicle was also fitted with a video camera but it was not
thought to be activated either. Belmar said officers were “not used to”
the new technology. Belmar said surveillance footage from the gas
station was described as “really pretty good” .
The victim had a record of three armed assaults and other charges for theft since he turned 17. His body was removed at around 1.30am.
Black Teen killed By Police At Gas Station In St. Louis Suburb
A Missouri teen was fatally shot by police just two miles from Ferguson, Mo., according to witnesses at the scene.
Antonio Martin, 18, was shot at 1 a.m. on Christmas Eve at Mobil gas station in Berkeley, Mo., the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports.
The victim's mother, Toni Martin, spoke to the publication and said her son was shot by police.
The hashtag #AntonioMartin is gaining traction on social media.
Those at the scene, along with The Dispatch, report approximately 60 to
100 people have gathered around the gas station where the shooting took
place.
Livestreams at the scene
show residents verbally clashing with police as they try to find
answers and report live on the situation. A woman identified as Martin's
mother could be heard sobbing "That's my baby!" on the feed.

(CNN) -- Famed boxer Muhammad Ali has "vastly
improved" after being hospitalized over the weekend with a mild case of
pneumonia, his spokesman Bob Gunnell said.
"Ali's team of doctors hopes to discharge him soon," said Gunnell.
Ali, 72, was admitted to an undisclosed hospital on Saturday.
"The Ali family continues
to request privacy and appreciates all of the prayers and well wishes,"
read a statement sent from Gunnell.
Ali was born Cassius Clay and won an Olympic gold medal as a light-heavyweight at 18.
In 1964, he became world
heavyweight champion in an upset victory against then-champion Sonny
Liston, according to Ali's official website.
Shortly thereafter, he changed his name to Muhammad Ali to reflect his conversion to Islam.
The boxer was also known
for his protest against the Vietnam War and refusal to be drafted into
service out of religious conviction.
He retired from boxing in 1981 and announced his diagnosis with Parkinson's disease three years later.
Officer Juventino Castro Will Walk Free After Killing Unarmed Man Jordan Baker
A Texas grand jury has officially cleared an officer of any wrongdoing after he fatally shot an unarmed man back in January.Officer Juventino Castro will face no charges in the deadly shooting of 26-year-old Jordan Baker, Chron News reports.
Baker was shot by Castro in an alley behind a Houston strip club.
Castro was off duty at the time, and Baker was unarmed. Castro said he
believed Baker matched the description of a robbery suspect who had targeted the strip club in the past, ABC13 reported at the time. In
a police report filed after the killing, Castro said there was a
scuffle and a foot chase into the alley after the officer asked to see
Baker's ID. Castro told investigators he shot Baker after the man
allegedly charged the cop.
As if that wasn’t enough, veteran MC-musician Q-Tip took to his personal Twitter account on Saturday
to give Iggy, and his more than 700,000 followers, a history lesson on
the origins of Hip Hop and its connection to sociopolitical movements.
Here's what he wrote:
"HipHop is a artistic and socio-political movement/culture that
sprang from the disparate ghettos of NY in the early 70's Coming off the
heels of the CIVIL RIGHTS MOVEMENT and approaching the end of the
Vietnam war it was a crossroads 4 America specially for blacks in the US
our neighborhoods were PROLIFERATED w/a rush of HEROINE." "Our
school systems here in NY dungeon traps with light for learning… blk men
some of whom didn't return from tours of duty n the ones who did came
w/war baggage (agent orange, addiction, ect..)… these men had families
but due to these events and throw into the mix the public emasculation…
they proved to be handicapped parents. The surrogate parents? The
STREETS… the streets of gangs, crimes, and the hustlers coddled us and
swept us up." "But! Being a spirited, rhythmic & expressive
people music art dance outlined our existence… it proved a way for us to
exhault to scream to dance to laugh and find OUR VOICE… we weren't at
the time skilled musicians as kids. We had records, turntables, ideas
and INGENUITY being natural chemist we took from whatever was availed to
us and we created something mighty and special." "We cut
breakbeats back n forth we took a hybrid of Jamaican toasting along w/
radio jock rap( hank Spann, Gary Byrd, ect.) and we put our rap down..
it was a neighborhood thing really. Black and Latino Kids were carving
out their space and it became infectious… eventually Keith Cowboy coined
the phrase hiphop . Yrs later the first rap record was recorded and now
we r moving." "But during these strides this country still had
the monster of racism and racial insensitivity breathing and ruling…
believe it or not young black n Latino lives specifically weren't
acknowledged in mainstream American culture unless Of course.. the convo
was abt gangs , being criminals or uneducated. And hey! Like I stated
early our families were rushed our schools sucked and we were left to
put devices to survive… but HIPHOP showed that we had DEPTH, fire, and
BRILLANCE… the music was undeniable! It moved from NY N became national
and even GLOBAL." "Hiphop now was FOR EVERYBODY!! All of those
who cld relate to the roots, the spirit, the history, the energy.. It
reached YOU… it touched your spirit n took u up. We magnetized you!
That's what BRILLANCE does… now u are fulfilling your dreams … BUT! you
have to take into account the HISTORY as you move underneath the banner
of hiphop. As I said before… hiphop is fun it's vile it's dance it's
traditional it's light hearted but 1 thing it can never detach itself
from is being a SOCIO-Political movement." "U may ask why … Well
once you are born black your existence I believe is joined with
socio-political epitaph and philos based on the tangled and treacherous
history SLAVERY alone this is the case it never leaves our conversation…
Ever. WeAther in our universities our dinner tables our studios or jail
cells… the effects still resononates with us. It hurts… We get
emotional and angry and melancholy… did u know president Clinton was the
ONLY PRESIDENT to apologize for it? did u know that remnants of slavery
exist today thru white privilege? When certain "niceties" r extended
your way because of how u look? Isn't that crazy?" "I say this 2
say u are a hiphop artist who has the right 2 express herself however
she wishes… this is not a chastisement this is not admonishment at ALL
this is just one artist reaching to another hoping to spark insight into
the field you r in. I say this in the spirit of a hopeful healthy
dialogue that maybe one day we can continue… I've been on twitter a long
time and this will probably be my last series of tweets pretty much but
I'm Kool with it as long as I got to share this w u. Zzzzzzz's up!
Peace!"

When we first met Momma
Dee on Love & Hip Hop, the world saw her as an overprotective mother who
still wants to protect her grown son, rapper Lil Scrappy from fame hogging
females. What made Momma Dee want to be on a show of young people in the
entertainment industry? "Well Scrappy was dating Diamond, formally
of Crime Mob for four years and she cheated on Scrappy to go with Soulja Boy”,
explains Momma D. “A radio station, 107.9
was broadcasting the break-up and it really made my son look bad and stupid so
I called the radio show and I said these words, ‘If I would've known she was
giving up her pu*%y when I was a madam, she could've worked for me.’ And
that's why Mona [Scott] came fishing for me and Scrappy.”
The producers were looking
for other cast members for the show. After
filming Jim Jones mama, they thought who else has a mama that is crazy over
their children? One of the producers heard the radio show and said Momma Dee
would be perfect… listen to this radio interview. As fate would have it, Momma
Dee and her son Scrappy were perfect for Love & Hip Hop. If it is meant for you, nothing on this earth
will keep your blessings from getting to you. There may be a few detours, but
what I know for sure is that there is always a light at the end of every
tunnel.
On the show Love &
Hip-Hop we have seen Scrappy try to have a few relationships with women however,
Momma Dee makes sure they know who she is and if she approves of the
relationship. Who would Momma Dee like to see her son in a relationship with? “Well
I think a lot of women don't pay attention,” explains Momma Dee. “They want to come on Love & Hip-Hop to be
with Scrappy, but if they were really watching from season one, they would know
that Scrappy has so many eggs in his basket. I mean he still does and I know
that, but they want to come on Love & Hip-Hop thinking that they are the
one who can lock him down. But it's hard for man to be locked down when he has
so many eggs to choose from; they're not listening. I wouldn't mess with him
because he continues to cheat, but they want to come on expecting him to be
honorable and to be only with them. He’s not going to do that because he's
not ready for that and then when I put it out there, they think that I'm being
funny, but I'm trying to indirectly tell them something. You better listen to
Momma. I know my son and he bought a couple of rings, but no one ever made it
down the aisle.” She laughs and says, “I’m trying to tell them something, but
ain't nobody listening."
We know that they are not
listening to Momma Dee because they truly think they are the one. "Okay, I
will have a glass slipper for the next season.
We will see who will fit into it”, says Momma Dee.
Scrappy is a young
handsome man in the prime of his life and this is the time when a young man
should explore all of their options and enjoy life before settling down with a
true love. "When you’re young you think you know, but you don't really
know,” states Momma Dee. “You don't come into the knowledge until you're
in your 40s. You can say I did this, I've done that, I've been stupid… let me
look over my life and make sure I don't make the same mistakes."
In 1984 Momma Dee revealed
what happened the year she gave birth to her son Scrappy. "When I
gave birth to Scrappy we became two people. They wrapped him up and brought him
to me,” remembers Momma Dee. “I held him and I looked down at him and these
were my words, 'I've been waiting nine months for you to get here. I'm your mom
and I'm going to do everything I can to love and protect you for the rest of my
life.’”
And with that being said directly
from Momma Dee’s mouth now you know exactly why she is the way she is with her
children. Now we understand. Thank God for those mothers who go beyond the call
of duty for the sake of their children to guide them and protect them all the
days of their lives.
“I'm going to always
protect them,” says Momma Dee.
Throughout the show Momma
Dee makes references to a time in history when there were kings, queens and
palaces. There is no mistake that Momma Dee makes sure everyone knows she is the
queen of her kingdom. If it were up to her she would definitely go back in time
to live in a time when kings and queens ruled kingdoms. She adds, “Yes, oh yes
I would have loved to live during that time. I read books from the 17th
century and I studied the language and how they would act, what was expected
and I just applied it. Everything in the world just keeps repeating itself and
it goes around and around. When I was a
young girl, we wore gauchos and now they call them Capris. Stuff just keeps
repeating itself and is renamed. So all I did was revamp my kingdom. Some
people say to me, ‘Momma Dee do you really live in a palace?’ I answer, ‘Yes I
do because the palace is in me and there could be a palace in you. You just got
to open your eyes and love yourself; it all comes back to love.’"
There's a lot of fighting
that goes on with the young girls on the show and Momma Dee is someone they
respect and look up to however, people are going to create their own drama and
there's nothing that anyone can do to stop it if someone has their mind on
creating drama. Joseline started a huge fight on the reunion show. "For the record I would just like to say
this,” says Momma Dee. “I didn't like the level of violence that happened that
day, but I can identify with her anger and let me tell you why... As a woman,
if her and Stevie J are married or not and a woman came to my house who had
slept with my man and is now dating my husband's friend, it don't matter… You
can’t just come in my house and smile in my face. Now as a woman I'm known for
keeping it real…. Listen… We would all feel the same and if a woman says she
wouldn't, she's a damn lie. That’s one thing women do not tolerate. They do not let another *itch come into their
home if they laid with their man. We are not taking that!”
Since we are a ‘no gossip’
site, we give celebrities the opportunity to clear up any misconceptions that
may be floating around social media. Momma Dee says that she is good. "No,
nothing is bothering me because I tell it like it is. I don't hide anything. I
came on the first season and said I used to be a madam, I used to sell drugs
and I did that because when you come on this type of show, whatever your
skeletons are they’re coming out. So I thought it best for me to tell it
because I know how to tell my own story. If the world got a hold of it through
word of mouth, they were going to drag me. So it's best that it came from
my mouth. If I'm being honest about it, then the world cannot destroy me
because I'm here telling my own story. I'm the one that's living it so I'm the
best person to tell it.”
When you watch Momma Dee
on television she looks as though she is enjoying life and embracing every door
that opens for her at this time in her life. Aside from making sure her
son Scrappy is hooked up with the right girl Momma Dee surprised everyone by
revealing her beautiful singing voice. It looks like her solo career as a
singer is being launched. How come we haven't heard her voice before this time?
"I have been singing since I was a
little girl,” says Momma Dee. “I was singing in nightclubs when Scrappy was a
little boy with live bands throughout Atlanta. When he became a teenager
I kind of gave it up and let him chase his dream and got in behind him.
Since I was on Love & Hip-Hop I wrote the song, "I Deserve".
It was written out of pain and anguish because a lot of people go on social
media and say, ‘Momma Dee mind your own business and let Scrappy be a man. Let Scrappy grow up to be a man; he's all
grown.’ But what they don't understand is that my stepfather beat me
physically and my mother allowed it to happen and he also beat her. She
allowed these things to happen and it just tore me up. So I had to write about
it and that's why you hear me sing a verse that says, ‘I thought a mother’s
kind of love was supposed to be sent from heaven above. The day you left this
world to my surprise the love I wanted from you inside you denied. But you're
the reason why, mama I rededicated my life to my kids because I deserve, I
deserve to be loved.’”
Scrappy look a little
surprised but proud to see his mama onstage doing her thing and singing her
heart out again. Maybe now that her singing career has taken off, she may not
be able to keep up with Scrappy and his eggs. He said to her, “I see you're back at it again mama” and Momma
Dee said, “Yeah, I'm going to give it a second swing and see what
happens."
Momma Dee and her brother
were both abused by her stepfather at a young age. When children have nowhere
to go, this type of situation leaves damaging scars mentally and physically.
Thank goodness her grandparents were able to pull them out of that situation
and get legal guardianship over with them. However, her journey was still a
struggle. She did manage to stay in high school for a minute however;
she ran away several times and had a drug overdose to try to kill herself
because as a young girl she didn't know any other way out. "I thought by
dying and being in a casket I would be safe," remembers Momma Dee. "It
wasn't a safe environment that I was in and she loved him unconditionally even
though he cheated and beat her.”
Momma Dee revealed the day
her mother, who was a schoolteacher told her that her husband; Momma Dee's
stepfather wanted her out of the house. He said she had to go. Momma Dee
couldn't believe that a mother would let someone beat her and the kids who are
not theirs then put them on the street. Plus when the same man who beats you
tries to leave, you don't want him to go, but your child can go?!? Even though this happened years ago you could
still hear the pain, hurt and suffering that is still at the surface as though
it happened yesterday. Momma Dee successfully raised two children in what could
be a cold, cruel world and look at her now. She stands victorious! However,
in order for her to remain victorious inside and out, that chapter in her
life must be annihilated and then she must let it go. Momma Dee added, “Still
waters run deep. My video for this song will be out shortly and it will
document everything that happened to me.”
That's going to be a
powerful video. I hope that it wakes people up to the abuse that is happening
in the world. “Looking at it from a child's point of view you don't know how to
get out of that and don't have any money to go anywhere, but as a grown woman,
you have a chance to walk out of that and you don’t,” says Momma Dee. “Therefore
you put yourself and kids you didn't have by him in physical danger. Thank God I lived through it because it
could've been enough to kill me. Some kids don't make it out. So I'm lucky to
be here. I want women to hear me… I need to reach the mothers… I need to
tell women this... for those who can hear my voice... anytime someone has to
beat you or verbally, mentally abuse you to justify their needs, that's not
love. Get out of that and please mothers protect your children. Don't love your
man more than you love the child you brought into this world because that child
is a gift from God. Children don’t deserve that and when women say they stay in
it for the kids, they are lying. They stay in it because they want to stay in
that stupidness and that's co-addiction behavior. LEAVE! If you love your
child, you should love them enough to walk out of that.”
Now that you got a little
bit of insight into the mind and the journey of Momma Dee, you know exactly why
she is so protective over her children. "A lot of people on social
media don't know my story. I have two kids Scrappy and Jazzmine. They are grown
however; no man will ever come between my kids and me. Sorry!" We don't get a chance to see her daughter.
She is trying to get her to come on the show. VH1 thinks Momma Dee gets crazy
about protecting Scrappy so to have two children of Momma Dee's on the show
would be unpredictable as to what would happen if anyone tried to harm her
daughter. Momma Dee adds, “My daughter’s boyfriend doesn't have a job so I
helped him get a job. She has two kids and I will put a knife to his neck if he
handles my daughter the wrong way.” She laughs and says, “I don't play that; I
don't play that. I live for those kids and they’re all grown. People say that
my kids are grown and they have their own lives, their own children, but I
don't care. This is what I told Scrappy and my daughter, ‘You belong to me and
your kids belong to me. Now what!"
Momma Dee's mother died
when they were filming season one. She was at the mortuary two days before they
filmed the episode where Scrappy was having an asthma attack and Momma Dee felt
that Erica didn't call for help quick enough and almost left her son for dead.
Momma Dee adds, "People didn't know that my mother had died two days
before that episode. So when Scrappy stopped breathing because of an asthma attack
and Erica didn't call the paramedics for him, it's real. People thought that it
was all scripted. Unfortunately, I wish that I could read a script and go to
work and portray this drama and have drinks at a bar around the corner with the
person I just threw wine on or just tried to play like I was fighting… No,
no; it's real.”
With everything that Momma
Dee knows about life, what would she tell her grandchildren about life? “I
would say to put God first and to love herself because how can you tell someone
you love them and you don't love yourself,” advises Momma Dee. “When you get ready to love someone and your
actions show that you don't love yourself how could you love anyone else. You
got to love yourself first and that goes for everyone.”
If you haven't noticed, Momma
Dee is a good-looking woman and with her newfound fame I'm sure a lot of male
suitors are asking for her hand. "She laughs and says, “Yes, I got a lot
of marriage proposals on Twitter now. I also
had some death threats and people saying that when they see me they are going
to kick my ass. I was at Bruce Bruce party and I had bodyguards around me. This
lady reached her arm through the bodyguards and grabbed me. I jumped and asked
her why would she do that? Why would you put your hands on me? You don't put
your hands on people you don't know. Now out of sheer fear if I would have
knocked the hell out of her, she would have to tried to sue me! Don’t touch me!
There are other ways to get my attention. The people who have made threats or say
they wanted to kick my ass, I don't know where they're coming from so you just
can't walk up and put your hands on me to get my attention. Don't touch me. Another woman approached me and said, ‘I am
your biggest fan. Can I have a picture.’
I said, ‘Sure’ and I took the picture, but this other lady wants to pass
her hands through my bodyguards and put her hands on me.”
This is been some journey
that Momma Dee has been through from an early age. When she looks back at her
life, it definitely has been an adventure.
She adds, “I feel like I was treated like a peasant and now I am the
queen. I was once like Cinderella who wore shoes with holes in it because my
mama bought everything for my baby sister who she had from my stepfather. She was treated like she had a silver spoon
in her mouth and I was treated just like Cinderella. So I know how it feels to
be treated like a peasant.”
You can keep up with Momma
Dee on her Twitter https://twitter.com/ThaRealMommaDee Also look out for her book entitled. The Making OfA Queen In That
Order. It should be out by the spring. She will definitely be on the next
season of Love & Hip-Hop and one day she hopes that they will do a show
where all the mothers of the sons on the show could talk about how they feel
about their sons and the women in their lives. “Yes, I think that people would
watch that,” says Momma Dee. “It could
be a one-time special. I think some interesting things will come out and a lot
of women would be able to identify with us.”

Two uniformed NYPD officers were shot dead Saturday afternoon as they
sat in their marked police car on a Brooklyn street corner — in what
investigators believe was a crazed gunman’s assassination-style mission
to avenge Eric Garner and Michael Brown.
“It’s an execution,” one law-enforcement source said of the 3 p.m. shooting.
The tragic heroes were working overtime as part of an anti-terrorism
drill in Bedford-Stuyvesant when they were shot point-blank in the head
by the lone gunman, identified by sources as Ismaaiyl Brinsley, 28, who
had addresses in Georgia and Brooklyn.
Moments after killing the two officers, he too was dead, having
turned the gun on himself on a nearby subway platform as cops closed in.
“I’m Putting Wings on Pigs Today,” a person believed to be the gunman
wrote on Instagram in a message posted just three hours before the
officers were shot.
“They Take 1 Of Ours…Let’s Take 2 of Theirs,” the post continued, signing off with, “This May Be My Final Post.”
