"I WON'T BE SILENT ON POLICE VIOLENCE" - TENNIS LIVING LEGEND SERENA WILLIAMS WRITES ON FACEBOOK
Serena Williams, 35, weighs in on police violence/brutality/discrimination against African-Americans in the United States Of America.
She narrated how she had asked her 18-year old nephew to drive her somewhere so she could work during the journey but then she saw a police car then she "remembered that horrible video of the woman in the car when a cop shot her boyfriend" and all of this went through my mind in a matter of seconds"

Today I asked my 18 year old nephew (to be clear he's black) to drive me to my meetings so I can work on my phone #safetyfirst. In the distance I saw cop on the side of the road. I quickly checked to see if he was obliging by the speed limit. Then I remembered that horrible video of the woman in the car when a cop shot her boyfriend. All of this went through my mind in a matter of seconds. I even regretted not driving myself. I would never forgive myself if something happened to my nephew. He's so innocent. So were all "the others."
I am a total believer that not "everyone" is bad it is just the ones that are ignorant, afraid, uneducated, and insensitive that is affecting millions and millions of lives.
Why did I have to think about this in 2016? Have we not gone through enough, opened so many doors, impacted billions of lives? But I realized we must stride on-for it's not how far we have come but how much further still we have to go.
I than wondered than have I spoken up? I had to take a look at me. What about my nephews? What if I have a son and what about my daughters?
As Dr. Martin Luther King said "There comes a time when silence is betrayal."

Won't
Be
Silent

ENGLAND MANAGER SAM ALLARDYCE IN BIG TROUBLE AFTER HE WAS RECORDED BEING UNETHICAL
English Football Association is investigating Sam Allardyce for his comment in a video which was secretly filmed by undercover Telegraph reporters posing as agents from Far East.
Question: Isn't recording without his permission or his knowledge a crime?
Over the course of two meetings which were secretly filmed, Allardyce told the fake businessmen that it was "not a problem" to bypass the rules on transfers introduced by the FA in 2008.
Allardyce said he knew of certain agents who were "doing it all the time" and added: "You can still get around it. I mean obviously the big money's here."
Allardyce, who as at the time of filming had not even taken charge of his first England game, negotiated a deal with these men who maintained they represent a far east company that was hoping to profit from the Premier League's billion-pound transfer market.
Allardyce will have to explain to the FA whether he was giving an honest account of what happened in the sport or if he was advising the fake businessmen to follow those illegal practices.
In the video, Allardyce aslo hit out at former England manager Roy Hodgson calling him "woy" while also blasting the FA's decision to rebuild Wembley as "stupid."
He also described Gary Neville, Hodgson's assistant during his reign as the manager of the Three Lions as "the worst influence."

The issue whatsoever is that he's known to be married, and the media felt the presence of the lady might have caused him to lose focus during the match against city rival Manchester City which ended 1-2 in favor of Man City.

U.S, BRITAIN AND FRANCE ACCUSE RUSSIA OF BARBARISM AND WAR CRIMES AT UN SECURITY COUNCIL SESSION
The Russia Federation was accused by UK and France of collaborating with Syria to perpetuate war crimes in Aleppo.
This was during an emergency security council session on the conflict in Syria on Sunday.
UK alleged, Russia has carried out widespread use of bunker-busting and incendiary bombs on the 275,00 civilians living in the rebel-held Aleppo in Syria, saying this weapons were dropped by Russian aircraft.
Russia and US had agreed to stop air attacks on Aleppo last week so that food, water, medicine and clothing could safely reach those suffering in the area but any hopes of a ceasefire were bashed last week when the UN aid convoy and warehouse were viciously attacked by armed men.
Aleppo is reportedly under bombing for five days consecutively as at Monday, taking the death toll to about 95 (casualties) in the East of the city, a total of 398 wounded people (including 61 children).
The UK ambassador to the UN said during the emergency meeting:
"Bunker-busting bombs, more suited to destroy military installations,are now destroying homes, decimating bomb shelters, crippling, maiming, killing dozens, if not hundreds."
"Incendiary munitions, indiscriminate in their reach are being dropped on to civilian areas so that yet again, Aleppo is burning. And to cap it all, water supplies so vital to millions are now being targeted, depriving water to those most in need. In short, it is difficult to deny that Russia is partnering with the Syrian regime to carry out war crimes."French ambassador Francois Delattre said:
"They must not be unpunished," he said. "Impunity is simply not an option in Syria. Aleppo is to Syria what Sarajevo was to Bosnia, or what Guernica was to the Spanish war," "this week will go down in history as the one in which diplomacy failed and barbarism triumphed."Samantha Power, US ambassador said:
"History will not look kindly on security council members who stay silent in the face of this carnage," It's time to say who is doing the bombing."After Britain's ambassador to the UN, Matthew Rycroft made the accusations, himself, the US ambassador Samantha Power and French ambassador Francois Delattre walked out of the emergency security council session when the Syrian ambassador began speaking.
What has happened over the last three days is indescribable," said Mohammad Abu Rajab, a doctor in one of the largest hospitals in Eastern Aleppo.
"Words fail, pictures fail, everything fails. Imagine the dead lying in the corridors, corpses and wounded and blood flowing everywhere,"he said. "We are standing before inhumanity, real massacres, extraordinary weapons whose blasts we never heard before, never heard before ever, they make the ground shake beneath our feet."Please Subscribe and Share!!!
