Brownsville, NYC never had a reputation of the low crime rate area, but it’s not an excuse to beat Brown so severely right on the Blake Ave at 10:34 p.m. for ABSOLUTELY NOTHING!

2 SECONDS TO REBLOG COULD SAVE A LIFE
This is important ya’ll need to reblog it
Markel is a 4 year old child suffering from a rare form of cancer causing him to go blind and he is losing his sense of smell. This past Wednesday, his saint of a mother, Rosie, was told he only has about 2 months left to live. He is the STRONGEST little boy I have ever met. He is nothing but positive 100% of the time. He is constantly uplifting his mom telling her everything is going to be okay. He told her before they found out about the estimated 2 months left of life, that he was going to go to heaven soon, and that he was going to meet God. He said he is going to become one of his angels soon, but that it’s okay. Now personally, I don’t affiliate myself with any religion, but I don’t deny any of them, and that just makes my heart want to burst. He’s only 4, and he has accepted death and he has prepared himself for the afterlife. He deserves the world, and he can’t even have his life. Please share. Please make this known. He deserves it.
this might be my favorite tweet ever
New Yorker Tyeesha Mobley was at a gas station near her Bronx apartment with her two sons when she caught the older boy, aged nine, stealing $10 out of her purse. Thinking this was a good opportunity to teach him a lesson about honesty and consequences, she called the police, asking them to help her communicate the seriousness of stealing.
When the police arrived, however, Mobley’s Arrested Development-style lesson quickly escalated into a terrifying situation. Three of the four officers who arrived at the gas station apparently understood that this was a lighthearted call.
“They started asking Tyleke what did he take,” said Mobley. “He told them. And about three officers was joking around with him, telling him, ‘You can’t be stealing, you’ll wind up going in the police car.’”
The fourth cop, however, had different ideas. He began yelling: “You black b——es don’t know how to take care of your kids … why are you wasting our time, we aren’t here to raise your kid … why don’t you take your f—-ing kid and leave?”
When she tried to follow his order, Mobley says the fourth officer arrested her, refusing to give a reason. While she and her children cried for him to stop, one of the other officers attempted to intervene, saying, “We are not supposed to act like this.”
He replied, “Black b——es like that … this is how I treat them.”
After her arrest, Mobley was hospitalized for the bruises she’d sustained on her legs thanks to the fourth cop kicking her during the arrest. She successfully fought off child endangerment charges—a pretty interesting charge given that the “endangerment” in question seems to have been calling the police.
Mobley’s two children were placed in foster care for four months, where they reportedly received sub-par care. Now, having recovered her children—who have undoubtedly learned a very different lesson than the one she intended to teach—Mobley is suing the NYPD.
And, to paraphrase J. Walter Weatherman, that’s why you don’t call the police.
