Michael Jackson’s Son, Prince, Graduates With Honors!

RadioOnFire.com - His father, the King of Pop, would definitely be proud. You may remember Mike’s son that was held over a balcony when he was a baby and made major headlines but his other son, Prince, has grown up and is making impressive headlines of his own. He recently graduated from high school with honors!

A milestone accomplishment for the Michael Jackson heir and it is definitely unfortunate that his father could not witness it. Prince Jackson was captured in a picture with his aunt Latoya Jackson following his graduation ceremony from Buckley High School in Los Angeles.

Prince’s family also surrounded him and showed support at the graduation; however, the obvious cast members of the Jackson family, like Janet and Jermaine, did not appear to be in attendance. Apparently, Prince has plans to attend either USC or Loyola Marymount University for their renowned film programs.

Doesn’t seem like Prince will be following in his father’s footsteps and getting into anything involved with music; however, still very much so involved with the arts. It will be interesting to see if anything significant develops from his next level of education.

Suspect In Lil Wayne's Tour Bus Shooting Arrested. Reportedly Has Ties To Young Thug

RadioOnFire.com - Back on April 26, 2015 we reported that two of Lil Wayne's tour buses had been shot at after the rapper performed at the Compound in Atlanta. There were no injuries reported, but the Atlanta Police Department issued an arrest warrant on May 21 for Jimmy Carlton Winfrey.

According to TMZ, He's now been taken into custody and charged with aggravated assault, terroristic threats, possession of a firearm by a felon, and criminal gang activity.



TMZ also reports that Winfrey had at one time been Young Thug's road manager. This is relevant because Thugger and Weezy have been at odds since Thug released an album titled Tha Barter 6, a play on words for Wayne's Tha Carter series.

Winfrey was reportedly trying to gain status with the Bloods by shooting a well known rapper.

Suge Knight Seeks To Have Murder & Attempted Murder Charges Dismissed Because Cle "Bone" Sloan Wouldn't Identify Him In Court

LOS ANGELES (Associated Press) — Marion "Suge" Knight's lawyer argues that a murder case against the former rap music mogul should be dismissed because one of the men he allegedly ran over earlier this year didn't identify him in court.

Attorney Matt Fletcher contends in a motion filed before a hearing Friday that murder, attempted murder and hit-and-run charges filed against the Death Row Records co-founder should be thrown out based on the testimony of a man seriously injured in January. Knight has pleaded not guilty to running over Cle "Bone" Sloan and another man who died from his injuries.

Cle "Bone" Sloan



Sloan refused to identify Knight while testifying during a preliminary hearing last month, but gave detectives a lucid account after being struck by Knight's pickup and said he started a fight in the parking lot of a Compton burger stand in late January.



A response filed by prosecutor Cynthia Barnes points to Sloan's statements to detectives and other evidence to support their case, including Knight's unique nickname, "Suge."



Fletcher contends that is not enough.



"There is nowhere in this transcript that Mr. Sloan ever identifies Marion Knight, the defendant, as a murderer," Fletcher wrote. "There is nowhere in the entire transcript that Mr. Sloan even identifies Marion Knight as a driver of the red truck in question; the red truck that hit the victims."



The 50-year-old Knight is charged with running over the two men outside a Compton burger stand. Fletcher has said his client was fleeing an ambush. A trial in the case has been scheduled for July 7.

NBA: Former Detroit Pistons Legend Says Lebron Is Better Than Michael Jordan & It’s Not Even Close!

RadioOnFire.com - Detroit Pistons legendary big man Bill Laimbeer, mostly known for his extremely physical play in the 1980’s and early 90’s, had many battles with another fellow legend in Michael Jordan. Now a coach for the WNBA’s New York Liberty, Laimbeer visited the Dan Patrick show Thursday morning and got right to the point when asked who the better play is between LeBron James and Michael Jordan.

“There’s no question I would take LeBron James,” Laimbeer said. “He can do more. Michael Jordan could score and make big shots and look spectacular at times with wild-flying dunks, but LeBron can get you 18 rebounds. LeBron can get you 15 assists if he chooses to, or he can score 50 if he wanted to.

“So the triple threat he poses is just phenomenal, and then the size that he’s got — he just physically dominates. It’s impressive.”

Laimbeer and the “Bad Boy” Pistons played Jordan’s Bulls in four straight postseason series, winning the first three, in part by focusing on Jordan and grinding him down physically. But Laimbeer told Patrick the same game plan wouldn’t slow LeBron.

“You can’t knock him down,” Laimbeer said. “He’ll knock you down. No one’s ever seen a physical specimen like LeBron. 6-foot-8, 285 [pounds], strong, jumps out of the gym, runs like the wind. Man, I’m in awe of this guy.”

He continued his high praise of Bron with regards to what he has done this season specifically.

Yeah, but you look at what LeBron has in the Finals right now,” Laimbeer argued. “Anybody else in this league … could they have led the team that he has around him right now to the Finals? I don’t think so. Jordan couldn’t have led this team to the Finals.

Now Laimbeer might not be the superstar his teammates like Isiah Thomas and Joe Dumars were, but he definitely has the authority to speak on Jordan considering how many epic, tough battles those teams had in the late 80’s and early 90’s. I’m sure all the MJ stans are in their feelings over this but remember, before Jordan someone else was considered the GOAT and just like MJ did, someone (possibly Bron) will pass him as the GOAT. It’s just the evolution of the game.

Warriors Eliminate Rockets, End 40-year NBA Finals Drought!

RadioOnFire.com - OAKLAND, Calif. (AP) -- After a generation of wishing and waiting, the Golden State Warriors have finally arrived on basketball's biggest stage again.

Stephen Curry had 26 points and eight rebounds,Harrison Barnes added 24 points and the Warriors advanced to the NBA Finals for the first time in 40 years with a 104-90 victory over the Houston Rockets on Wednesday night.

''Why not us?'' Curry said to a roaring, golden-yellow shirt wearing crowd after the Warriors received the Western Conference trophy from Alvin Attles, the coach of their last championship team in 1975.
''The Bay Area's been waiting for 40 years,'' Curry said later. ''I think it's time.''

Stephen Curry knew what the people wanted so he obliged and brought out the real superstar. During his post game press conference, Steph brought out his adorable daughter Riley Curry and once again she took over the presser.

Apparently she was feeling as “blessed” as her daddy because she took over the microphone and started singing Big Sean’s hit song “Blessings”. It was too cute and definitely the highlight of the night.

Autopsy Shows That A Jacksonville Man Shot By Police Goes Against Reports Of The Officers

RadioOnFire.com - Does any of this sound familiar? A week and a half ago, D’Angelo Stallworth, 28 and father of three was shot and killed by Jacksonville Sheriff Officers in Planter’s Walk apartments. The officers were at the apartments because they were serving an eviction notice. According to their reports, Stallworth pulled out a gun and put it to the chest of one of the officers, which is why and when a struggle broke out, and when Stallworth ran down a flight of stairs. After reaching the bottom of the stairs, the officers claimed that the young guy turned around, and because they had been afraid for their lives, they shot and killed him. However, the Stallworth family attorney, Eric Block has recently received the results of an independent autopsy, and well, someone was lying about the way things went down.

“It would be kind of be nice to hear what they have to say and whatever they have to say they’ve said it. Assuming they’ve said anything. And if not, then tell us that,” said Block about the sheriff’s office. However, they would not respond due to it being an active investigation.

“As far as we know, the Duval County medical examiner could agree with them, but we don’t know. We didn’t want it to seem that if the Duval County medical examiner said something different that we went out to find a doctor to say something different. That’s why we’re saying, here’s what our doctor says,” Block said.

According to the autopsy, Stallworth did not turn around at the bottom of the steps like police said, but rather he was shot in the back at a downward motion. The autopsy has not been released yet, but Block assures that the doctor is licensed, and works in the pathology.

Cleveland Police Now Prohibited From Pistol-Whipping Suspects

RadioOnFire.com - Back in 2013 the United States Justice Department began a 21-month investigation into the Cleveland Police Department, which ultimately revealed that the police "routinely bash people on the head with their guns, sometimes accidentally firing them," according to Cleveland.com. That is all set to change now due to a consent decree between the two parties revealed yesterday.

The consent decree states that "[Cleveland Division of Police's] policy will expressly provide that using a firearm as an impact weapon is never an authorized tactic." It also includes that "officers will be trained that use of a firearm as an impact weapon could result in death to suspects, bystanders and themselves."

The police tactic has caused injuries to numerous suspects over the years, and now even unholstering their firearms is prohibited unless the officers "believe lethal force is necessary." The consent decree also states that Cleveland officers will be trained to "de-escalate situations" verbally "instead of approaching suspects with guns drawn."

"It is also unclear why CDP appears to be categorizing hitting someone with a gun as a conventional response when force is needed," said the 58-page report released back in December 2014. "This is uniformly understood to be a dangerous practice that should never be permitted except in very unusual and exigent circumstances in which the use of deadly force is authorized; yet, it was a practice we saw CDP officers engaging in too frequently."

Former Love & Hip Hop Couple Scores Some Funds For Landing A New Reality Show

RadioOnFire.com - Listen, the more you act a fool, the likelier chance you will never be without finances – Maury taught us that. After this Love & Hip Hop: Atlanta couple were given the boot, they were granted access to another reality show; Marriage Boot Camp: Reality Stars season four.

Benzino and his lovely bride-to-be (bride that is … or whatever they like to tell the public these days) Althea “The The (lol)” have landed them a spot on the Marriage Boot Camp: Reality Stars, with a pretty chunk of change to follow. The couple hits pay dirt with $200,000, just to talk with counselors about whether or not they are ready for the big leap, sources tell TMZ.

Just to keep you all up-to-date, ‘Zino and The The were kicked off of Love & Hip Hop, apparently because they were the two who caused the big showdown between themselves, Stevie J and his cheating wife (maybe), Joseline Hernandez. Every since their dismissal, Benzino and Althea have tried their hardest to remain relevant – like ‘Zino’s rap career … HA! – and it may be paying off after all.

According to rollingout:

Other reality stars rumored to appear in Season 4 of Marriage Boot Camp: Reality Stars are Tami Roman of Basketball Wives and her boo Reggie Youngblood, Kendra Wilkinson and Hank Baskett (Kendra on Top), Mike “The Situation” Sorrentino and Lauren Pesce (Jersey Shore and The Sorrentinos), Danity Kane’s Aubrey O’Day and Travis Garland (Making the Band, Celebrity Apprentice) and Jeff Schroeder and Jordan Lloyd of Big Brother.

Cleveland Officer Who Fired 49 Shots Into The Car Of 2 Unarmed Citizens Found Not Guilty In Their Deaths. 71 Protestors Arrested

CLEVELAND (Associated Press) — The streets returned to calm Sunday after police arrested dozens of demonstrators overnight when protests grew increasingly aggressive in the wake of a patrolman's acquittal in the deaths of two unarmed black suspects.

In total, 71 people were arrested, including several who turned their anger toward bystanders in downtown Cleveland, Police Chief Calvin Williams said. Someone picked up a restaurant sign and hit a patron in the head, and other protesters used pepper spray on passers-by and restaurant patrons sitting at outdoor cafes.

But Mayor Frank Jackson thanked the vast majority of protesters who remained peaceful and respectful as they voiced their frustration with Saturday's verdict.


Officer Michael Brelo, 31, faces administrative charges while remaining suspended without pay after he was found not guilty on two counts of voluntary manslaughter, but he no longer faces the prospect of prison. The anxious city now awaits a decision on criminal charges against a white officer in the fatal shooting of a black 12-year-old boy with a pellet gun.

Brelo fired 49 of those shots that night, but it was the final 15 fired into the windshield while he stood on the hood of Russell's car that led to his indictment and a four-week trial. He faced up to 22 years in prison if convicted on both counts.

The shooting helped prompt an investigation by the U.S. Department of Justice that concluded Cleveland police had engaged in a pattern and practice of excessive use of force and violations of people's civil rights.



Jackson said protesters were encouraged to continue expressing their opinions as long as they stayed peaceful. Williams said police only moved in Saturday when things got violent and people refused to disperse.



"We want to make sure that people understand we're going to help you in this process but if things turn violent, as we stated in the beginning, we will take action to preserve safety in the city," Williams said.



The protests erupted as authorities work to complete an investigation into the Tamir Rice shooting, the findings of which will be given to the prosecutor's office to decide whether to pursue criminal charges

.

Alicia Kirkman, 47, of Cleveland, said she joined the march in honor of her son, killed in a police shooting eight years ago.



"I'm just so mad we never get justice from any of the police killings," said Kirkman, who said she settled with the city after her son's death but no charges were filed.

Suspect In Killing Of Wealthy DC Family Arrested

RadioOnFire.com - The suspect for the quadruple murder of a wealthy Washington D.C. family was arrested in D.C. Thursday night after a manhunt that went from D.C. to Brooklyn, N.Y. and back. Daron Dylon Wint, 34, was nabbed in D.C. around 11 p.m., according to CNN.


Police suspected Wint was hiding in a Brooklyn home on Thursday, and the manhunt landed his girlfriend in police custody. She told cops that Wint wanted to turn himself in, but also said he might be returning to D.C. Which he did. Authorities found him staying at aHoward Johnson Hotel in Washington.

Wint was on the run after allegedly murdering a prominent family in Washington, D.C. inside a burning million dollar home, in what may have been a killing over money. The bodies of Savvas Savopoulos, along with his wife, Amy, their 10-year-old son Philip and the family’s housekeeper, Veralicia Figueroa, were discovered the afternoon of May 14 after firefighters responded to reports of a fire.

Wint was linked to the murders by DNA found on the crust of a Dominos pizza that was delivered to the house on May 13, while the victims were held captive inside, authorities said. The Domino’s deliveryman dropped off two pizzas to the front of the house, where payment was left in an envelope outside.The same night, a personal assistant to Savopoulos dropped off $40,000 in cash to the house, police said. Wint, himself worked for Savopoulos company American Iron Works.

Judge Dismisses Domestic Violence Charges Against Ray Rice.

MAYS LANDING, N.J. (AP) — A judge on Thursday dismissed domestic violence charges against Ray Rice, who was captured by a surveillance camera knocking his then-fiancee unconscious in a hotel elevator last year.

Judge Michael Donio signed the order after the Atlantic County prosecutor told him the former Baltimore Ravens running back had completed the terms of his pretrial intervention.

Under terms of the program, Rice paid $125 in fines and received anger management counseling.

Rice was charged with third-degree aggravated assault. His attorney described what happened in February 2014 at Atlantic City’s Revel Casino Hotel as “little more than a misunderstanding.”

However, Rice’s promising career with the NFL turned after TMZ released videos that showed him dragging his fiancee, Janay Palmer, out of the elevator after he struck her.

NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell initially suspended Rice for two games, then suspended him indefinitely after a second video revealed the knockout punch.

California Declared State Of Emergency After Oil Spill

RadioOnFire.com - The governor of California declared a state of emergency two days after a ruptured pipeline leaked an estimated 21,000 gallons of oil off the California shore. The leak was first reported in southern California on Tuesday afternoon. The Plains All American Pipeline which built the busted pipeline in 1991, said “Plains deeply regrets this release has occurred and is making every effort to limit its environmental impact.” However this spill is having a great effect not only on the beach goers for the up coming Memorial Day weekend but on the wildlife as well.


Crews are working around the clock to clean up this massive spill which has spread greatly. According to reports oil could be seen on every inch of Refugio Beach and the smell of oil was heavily present in the air. The state beach will remained closed indefinitely.

Wildlife is also being affected tremendously. According to California Department of Fish and Wildlife at least two pelicans are dead and five have been rescued and are in rehabilitation. Approximately 272 people are taking part in the wildlife rescue and are searching the areas for oil covered animals.

Officials have stated there’s a potential for this spill to get much worse. It is possible that much more oil leaked into the Pacific ocean through the faulty pipeline with a worst case scenario at 105,000 gallons.
