In a video posted on Facebook, white police officers are shown wrestling a black woman to the ground, cuffing her in an Alabama Waffle House.
Canita Adams, of Saraland, AL. wrote in a now-deleted Facebook post that she and a friend who is also black went to their local Waffle House restaurant on Sunday morning and asked for plasticware.
Canita’s friend, Chikesia Clemons’ mother told AL.com that a female employee told her daughter that silverware cost an extra fifty cents. She explained that Clemons told the employee they had eaten there a previous night and not been charged.
In the video, a police officer appeared to put his hands on Clemons’ as she sat in a chair near the exit.
Toronto Van Attack Charged, New Details Emerge

AP News- Details have begun to emerge about Alek Minassian, who was charged Tuesday with 10 counts of first-degree murder and 13 of attempted murder for driving a van into a crowded sidewalk in Toronto. Here is a look at the 25-year-old suspect in one of the worst mass killings in Canada‘s modern history.
Shortly before Monday’s attack on a crowded Toronto street, a chilling post appeared on Minassian’s now-deleted Facebook account saluting Elliot Rodger, a community college student who killed six people and wounded 13 in shooting and stabbing attacks near the University of California, Santa Barbara, before apparently shooting himself to death in 2014.
Calling Rodger “the Supreme Gentleman,” the Facebook post declared: “The Incel Rebellion has already begun! We will overthrow all the Chads and Stacys!”
The 22-year-old Rodger had used the term “incel” — for involuntarily celibate — in online posts raging at women for rejecting him romantically. Like-minded people in internet forums sometimes use “Chad” and “Stacy” as dismissive slang for men and women with more robust sex lives.
Monday’s Facebook post mentions that “Private (Recruit) Minassian” is speaking, and Facebook confirmed that the post was on an account that belonged to the suspect. The social networking site took down his account after the attack, saying in a statement Tuesday, “There is absolutely no place on our platform for people who commit such horrendous acts.”

“As we have said all along, Meek was unjustly convicted and should not have spent a single day in jail,” his lawyer, Joe Tacopina, said in a statement.
Meek Mill, whose given name is Robert Rahmeek Williams, had been incarcerated in a state prison in Chester, Pa. He was convicted in 2008 on charges related to the possession of drugs and guns, serving eight months in prison before being placed on probation for five years, a period that has been extended several times.
In November, Judge Genece E. Brinkley sentenced him to two to four years in prison for parole violations, including two arrests, one of which was on a reckless driving charge while shooting a music video in New York.
But in a hearing last week, prosecutors said his conviction should be vacated because of questions about the credibility of his arresting officer
