COLUMBIA, SC — More than a police dog died Dec. 16, 2011, as an armed robber fired seven shots during a police manhunt through a North Columbia neighborhood.

While no Richland County Sheriff’s deputies or Columbia Police Department officers were hit by bullets, scars remain. 

Sheriff’s deputies still cry as they remember Fargo, the K9 who was killed. The trauma of gunfire causes hesitation when they are called to track criminals.

See How Nigerian Celebrities Are Killing Themselves



Apparently basking in the euphoria of a new status, many Nigerians in showbiz throw caution in the wind in the process of “living it up”.
These days, hardly does a month end without news of someone in Nollywood or the Music industry, getting involved in car accident or public brawl...
This comes as no surprise, especially to those who are in the know of the background of today’s stars. Most of them, even in wildest dreams, never thought they would attain their current standing in the society. In fact, not only do they talk about the rise to fame in interviews, they also author books and record songs on it.

Excerpts:
Nigeria has just celebrated 14 years of uninterrupted democracy. How has democracy impacted on the economy?
To start with, I do not like this exultation about democracy. It does not mean that if we do not have democracy we won’t have relative prosperity. Economic indices were positive even in non-democratic governments.

Update: Ibragim Todashev's death is extrajudicial killing - lawyer




In an interview with the Voice of Russia, the lawyer of Abdulbaki Todashev, Zaurbek Sadakhanov, qualified what the FBI agents did with Ibragim Todashev as a deliberate murder. “Today, we saw photos of the killed Ibragim,” Mr. Sadakhanov said. “Judging by these photos, they shot at him 7 times. One of these shots was at the back of his head, so, this shot was obviously unexpected by him. It is hard to say which shots were made earlier and which later.”

“This incident raises many questions,” Zaurbek Sadakhanov continued, “and I hope that all of them will be thoroughly investigated. Thus, it looks very strange that the FBI agents came to Todashev’s place instead of ordering him to come to a police office. Then, why was he integrated without a lawyer, although this was already his third interrogation? Todashev was going to leave for Chechnya on May 24, and he already had a ticket, but the FBI did not allow him to leave the US, saying that he will have another interrogation. Then, why did they shot at him as many as 7 times? There were 5 policemen, and Todashev was alone in his flat, so one bullet was quite enough to kill him.”
