old clip that was new to me so I’m sharing it… Charlotte Church and Amy Winehouse singing Michael Jackson’s Beat It. Nuff Said really. Not saying it is good, just that you should see it for life experience. And YES I’m filing this under comedy, so if you genuinely like this song, I’m sorry.

Although the most recent incarnation of X-Force hasn’t been around as long as some of the other X-factions, there have been events happening within its pages that could shake the X-verse to its core.
The bloodthirsty crew of anti-heroes Cyclops has assembled must slice their way through some of the vilest villains ever to endanger a Marvel Mutant. Not only have the writers resurrected Bastion, Cameron Hodge and Bolivar Trask (among others), but they’ve also returned high flying golden boy Warren Worthington III to his Archangel persona (tho I’d guess due to Simone Bianchi’s designs for the character in Astonishing X-Men that he won’t stay that way for long)
Read the Newsarama article and CBR article with X-Force co-writer Chris Yost
He even explains the completely unexpected X-Force Legacy of vengeance Rainbows and Puppies cover for the reprint of issues 1-3.

This video, taken February 12th 2008 clearly shows Memphis police Officer Bridges McRae, 28 walk over to Duanna Johnson – a transsexual suspect being held after a prostitution arrest – and hit her in the face several times while Officer James Swain, 25 holds her back.
The beating began after the bigoted officer got upset when she refused to answer to anti-gay slurs such as “faggot” and “he-she”. This is unacceptable behavior for a public servant. This is a violent assault proceeded by hate speech. Sounds like a hate crime to me. After the incident the Police dropped the prostitution arrest against Ms. Johnson (no doubt hoping that would be the end of it), but no charges have been filed against the officers in question.
I hope they throw the book at the officers, but I wouldn’t hold my breath. Swain is no longer with the MPD, but McRae has only been placed on non-enforcement status pending an administrative hearing. I hope Duanna Johnson presses charges.
video wouldn’t embed – but here is a link.
If you’d like to know what is being done about this, ask the Mayor of Memphis or the District Attorney’s office… their contact info is after the video, and elected officials are always the best ones to deluge with complaints. The DA’s office has the discretion to prosecute who they want and I spoke to their media rep Jennifer Donnals who says they have NO PLANS to prosecute these officers. Lets see if we can change that.

A request for a comment from the Memphis Police Department resulted in them sending the following prepared statement…
The Memphis Police Department does not condone any misconduct of a police officer that will compromise official law enforcement duties or the rights or safety of our citizens.
As it relates to the February incident that occurred at the jail facility, the police department has been conducting a thorough internal investigation. The details surrounding the complainant, witnesses and law enforcement officials’ statements are part of an ongoing investigation and can not be released at this time.
As a standard departmental policy, a full, impartial hearing will be held with the accused officer.
Memphis Police can confirm the work status of the two primary officers involved in this complaint. Officer J. Swain was a probationary officer and has been separated from the Memphis Police Department. Officer B. McRae has been placed on non-enforcement status pending an administrative hearing.
Memphis Police can also confirm the Federal Bureau of Investigation had been notified and requested to look into the complaint further.
