  • Bobby Shmurda Reportedly Will Face Brooklyn Gun Charge From June '14 Incident

    Brooklyn rapper Bobby Shmurda, born Ackquille Pollard, is being thrown back into the fire just after it appeared the "Hot N***a" rapper had caught a break.

  • NYPD Claims Mayor de Blasio Has Blood of 2 Slain B'klyn Cops on His Hands

    Did New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio lay the groundwork for violence against police officers by seeming to side with protestors who have been upset over the lack of an indictment in the death of Eric Garner? That appears to be the official position of the NYPD, which is now grieving what it is calling the "assassination" of two police officers reportedly sitting in their patrol car eating lunch yesterday. Officers Wenjian Liu and Rafael Ramos likely did not see Ismaayil Brinsley walk up beside the passenger side front window and take aim. Brinsley's deadly actions were intended to be a retaliation for the deaths of Garner and Michael Brown at the hands of police officers who were never charged, not even with a misdemeanor. While de Blasio spoke out against the violence condemning the murders, members of the NYPD turned their backs on him when he walked into the room to give an official press conference on yesterday's crime. It seems the NYPD feels that the mayor has been unsupportive and not aligned himself with them while the city has been in a state of upheaval and racial tensions are intensifying. The police feel so much like City Hall has abandoned them that officers actually have been signing a petition that would ban de Blasio from attending their funerals should they die in the line of duty.

  • Beyonce Brooklyn Video Shoot Leaves Woman Terrified At Top of Coney Island Ferris Wheel

    Beyonce may or may not have been shooting a new music video when she stopped at Coney Island yesterday afternoon, but she was definitely shooting a video of something. The pop star and her crew occupied the historic Cyclone roller coaster for more than an hour while director/fashion photographer Terry Richardson filmed (as well as using a handy GoPro camera attached to the ride). Beyonce spent some time greeting the hordes of fans that gathered around, and even held someone's baby. It's arguable that the pop star was a little rude, reserving one of the world's most iconic roller coasters for an hour when vacationers and residents may have been keen to ride, but one woman dealt with far worse on the ferris wheel thanks to Bey.
