'White lives matter': UK erupts over footage of English teen's demise in handcuffs after stabbing by Sikh thug



Liberals in the United Kingdom have worked feverishly in recent years to paint white Britons uniquely as history's villains, undermine their unique claims to the isles, and erase them from British history.

What's more, police and some in the justice system have shown that they are willing to hold whites — white men in particular — to a different standard than virtually every other group.

The British public has now been confronted with incontrovertible evidence of this campaign's influence and impact in the case of Henry Nowak, an 18-year-old Englishman who died at the feet of maligning and disbelieving police.

'Henry told officers that he could not breathe nine times.'

Walking home from a night out with his soccer team on Dec. 3, Nowak encountered a 23-year-old Sikh named Vickrum Digwa, who, on account of a religious exemption to the general ban on carrying knives in Britain, was armed.

In an unprovoked attack, Digwa stabbed the University of Southampton finance student repeatedly with an eight-inch blade — a blade that Digwa's mother, Kiran Kaur, later hid in an effort to aid her killer kin.

Digwa and his family members also proceeded to falsely tell police not only that Nowak was the real aggressor — a supposed racist who had attacked Digwa and knocked off his turban — but that Nowak hadn't been stabbed and was just exaggerating about his injuries.

Even as Nowak lay dying, officers from the Hampshire and Isle of Wight Constabulary reflexively entertained the Digwa family's lies and handcuffed the white teen. Nowak's handcuffs were removed only after the "severity of his condition was becoming clear," police claimed.

After much public clamor, the damning police body camera footage of Nowak's arrest was finally released on Monday, showing the nightmarish scene, including:

  • Digwa and his kin standing over the dying Englishman, then lying about what happened;
  • police dismissing Nowak's claims about being stabbed;
  • Nowak begging repeatedly for help while being handcuffed; and
  • a female officer suggesting they should confirm he was not stabbed, then aborting the effort after seeing one of Digwa's slash marks on the victim's face.

William Mousley, the Southampton judge who oversaw the murder trial, noted in his sentencing remarks on Monday that after stabbing his "defenseless" victim, Digwa — accompanied by his brother, Gurpreet — abused the teen and made "films of Henry suffering" and trying to escape before the arrival of police.

"You lied to him that you had been attacked, picking up on his question about whether it had been accompanied by racism by falsely claiming that Henry had called you a 'Paki,'" said Mousley. "I am sure that Henry had said nothing racist."

Mousley sentenced Digwa to life imprisonment with a minimum term of 20 years and 190 days before any consideration can be given to possible parole.

According to the BBC, the attorney general's office is reconsidering the prison sentence after being deluged by requests to review it under the unduly lenient sentence scheme.

Digwa's mother, Kiran Kaur, is set to be sentenced for attempting to help her son cover up his crime. Digwa's father, Moga Singh, and his brother, Gurpreet Digwa, have reportedly been slapped with multiple weapons charges and are expected to appear in court on Tuesday.

After Digwa's sentencing, Mark Nowak, Henry's father, publicly addressed his dead son's egregious treatment by the Southampton police as evidenced in the video footage.

"When police arrived, Henry was lying on the floor, barely able to sit up and plainly in severe medical distress," said the bereaved father. "With his final words, he told officers that he could not breathe. He told them he had been stabbed. In fact, Henry told officers that he could not breathe nine times. He told them he had been stabbed four times."

"The response from one officer was 'I don't think you have, mate,'" continued Mark Nowak. "The police have said they were misled by the murderer and that the scene when they arrived was complex. Unfortunately, it seems to us the truth is much simpler."

Mark Nowak emphasized that police chose not to believe his son or the member of the public who called and reported someone claiming to have been stabbed. Instead, they dragged his bloody son across the gravel, wrenched his hands behind his back, handcuffed him, formally arrested him for assault, and read him his rights.

"Henry did not die with dignity. He did not die with the care he deserved. He lost consciousness before anyone believed him," said Mark Nowak.

'Look back in anger.'

While assigning to Digwa all blame for his son's death, Mark Nowak noted that his son should not have died in police custody and that "the way he was treated was inhumane and degrading."

The father noted further that, unlike his son, the Sikh murderer was curiously "afforded decency. He was believed. He was not handcuffed when arrested. He was not handcuffed when transported to the police station. As far as we understand, he was never handcuffed at all."

"The contrast is unbearable," said Mark Nowak.

Others around the U.K. and around the globe have reacted similarly to the police video.

Nigel Farage, the leader of the Reform UK Party, said, "This is the most shocking footage of discrimination that you will ever see. A white boy being handcuffed by police officers more concerned by an accusation of racism than an act of murder. This must be a turning point. White lives matter too."

Whereas Prime Minister Keir Starmer offered a weak response coupled with a condemnation of "knife crime," British Member of Parliament Rupert Lowe, formerly of the Reform UK Party and now the leader of Restore Britain, offered a forceful series of condemnations and demanded "prosecutions for what happened to Henry Nowak."

'Now this is the moment for real f**king change.'

"Young white British men are bleeding to death in the street as a direct result of our racist establishment. I will never forget, and I will never forgive," Lowe said on Tuesday.

Lowe vowed to "look back in anger" and suggested that were his party in power, Digwa would be put to death, "the police officers on the scene who allowed Henry to die [would] face criminal charges for gross negligence manslaughter," and "Digwa's foreign family [would] be deported."

"Sara Sharif. The Nottingham killer. The Manchester bomber. The grooming gangs. Now Henry Nowak," wrote Conservative Party MP Claire Coutinho, the shadow minister for equalities. "We have to unpick the mentality across our public services that says accusations of racism are more important than protecting the public from harm."

"If we stay the hand of those who are meant to protect the public, if we tie them up in knots with unconscious bias training and Islamophobia definitions, then we are making their jobs even more impossible and we can see from case after case that we are failing to protect the public from serious harm," added Coutinho.

Conservative Party leader Kemi Badnoch similarly criticized the "training that the police have been given" and the "race action plans" implemented in the wake of the Black Lives Matter mania earlier this decade.

"Now this is the moment for real f**king change, not George Floyd, a dead crackhead in America," said activist Tommy Robinson.

The Hampshire and Isle of Wight Constabulary did not respond to Blaze News' request for comment.

Robert France, the temporary deputy chief constable, apologized on Thursday for the police's grievous mistreatment of Nowak, stating, "I am sorry that in the moments before he lost consciousness, [Nowak] had been handcuffed and arrested."

Video: Wild brawl erupts at kindergarten graduation ceremony at Queen of Apostles School — allegedly over seating



A wild brawl recently erupted at a kindergarten graduation ceremony at Queen of Apostles School in Toledo, Ohio — and it was allegedly over seating.

WTVG-TV reported that new video of last Thursday's dust-up is raising more questions after the arrest of one parent who told the station she's being treated unfairly.

'Once I was taken to the ground, it was probably four or five other guys that were on top of me, trampling me, punching me, kicking me in the head.'

Jessica Anderson was charged with felonious assault, but she told WTVG she wasn't the aggressor and wants police to review all videos of the fight — and wants charges against her dropped.

Witnesses told the station that attendees got angry over seating. Cellphone video shows multiple punches thrown, and WTVG reported that an individual appearing to be Anderson grabbed a woman by the hair.

But Anderson emphasized to the station that the clip doesn't tell the full story.

"I removed her from the pile, and her arm fell into a chair," Anderson recounted to WTVG. "Then we were surrounded by people, and she was hitting me. I didn't know what was happening, so I started swinging back."

She also told the station, "I wasn't the aggressor; it wasn't my face that should have been blasted everywhere. I take accountability that I was involved. A lot of people were involved, but me being the only person charged was not fair. It wasn't."

Anderson is charged with felonious assault, WTVG reported, adding that a judge put her on house arrest.

RELATED: Video shows brawl after high school walkout protester allegedly hit pro-ICE man — and the man is charged with child abuse

WTVG also said cellphone video it obtained appears to show parent Craig Mays involved in the fight over seating.

Anderson told the station that after a disagreement over the chairs, Mays rushed toward one of her family members while she called 911.

“Craig Mays snatched Katie, and then the nephews got involved," Anderson told WTVG. "He charged over there."

The station said it spoke with Mays, and he denies that's how things went down.

"Her whole family in the first two rows just stand up, five guys, five girls. They just all stand up. As I’m arguing with Jessica, I literally don’t remember anything. I just know I was sucker punched. Once I was taken to the ground, it was probably four or five other guys that were on top of me, trampling me, punching me, kicking me in the head," Mays told WTVG.

Cellphone video allegedly recorded just after the initial brawl appears to show Mays climbing back to his feet, walking away, taking off his shirt, and putting up his fists while confronting and squaring up with a man dressed in a black sweatshirt, the station said.

Toledo police continue to investigate the fight, WTVG said, adding that the school has yet to announce a rescheduled graduation ceremony date.

A spokesperson for Central City Ministries, which operates the school, told WTVG-TV in an earlier story that no students were in the room during the brawl.

Gabriel Jakubisin, head of school for Central City Ministries, told the station that he's proud of how staff members handled the situation. Staff members called 911 and went into lockdown, WTVG reported.

12-year-old accused of kicking in home's front door, breaking its frame — and homeowner isn't having one bit of it



A 12-year-old male is accused of kicking in a home's door and breaking its frame in Howell, New Jersey, earlier this week, but the homeowner wasn't having any of it — and chased the kid.

The homeowner called police just before 3:30 p.m. Monday to report someone trying to break into the Princeton Drive home, Lt. John Barroqueiro told Patch.

'At this point in time, no evidence is available to substantiate the later allegations.'

Arriving police found the homeowner holding the 12-year-old on the ground, Barroqueiro added to the outlet.

The homeowner told police he heard a loud bang at the front of his home, Patch reported. When the homeowner went to his front door, he found it had been forced open, and the door frame was broken, Barroqueiro told the outlet.

What's more, the homeowner told police he saw the boy running toward his driveway, getting on an e-bike, and riding away, Barroqueiro noted to Patch.

But the homeowner wasn't letting this one go.

Police told the outlet the homeowner followed the boy in his vehicle, caught up to him a short distance away, got the boy to stop, and then held him on the ground until officers arrived.

The homeowner was wearing a T-shirt, shorts, and sandals, and he was not carrying anything during his interaction with officers, Barroqueiro added to Patch.

The homeowner then showed officers Ring camera video from his front door, the outlet said, and officers saw the boy come up to the front door, turn around, and give the door a hard kick, which forced the door open and damaged it, Barroqueiro told the outlet.

Officers discovered significant damage to the front door when they went to the house to check it, police told Patch.

The boy was arrested and charged with criminal mischief, then released to his father at police headquarters, Barroqueiro noted to the outlet.

However, the boy's mother came to police headquarters on Monday evening and alleged the homeowner pointed a gun at her son, Barroqueiro told Patch.

Officers went back to the scene and reviewed all available surveillance video and spoke to several eyewitnesses, Barroqueiro noted to the outlet, adding that witnesses told police the homeowner never pointed a gun at the boy, and there was no firearm present during the incident.

"At this point in time, no evidence is available to substantiate the later allegations," Barroqueiro told Patch.

Anyone with information about the event or who witnessed it is asked to call Patrol Officer Elie Lavarin at 732-938-4575, ext. 2722, the outlet said.

Minneapolis police chief RESIGNS after interfering with probe into misconduct allegations, mayor claims



The police chief who oversaw the reforms made by Minneapolis in the wake of the controversial death of George Floyd has resigned rather than face allegations of interfering with an investigation, according to the mayor.

Democratic-Farmer-Labor Mayor Jacob Frey announced Tuesday that Brian O'Hara had resigned rather than face the consequences from allegedly deleting evidence.

'When trust is broken, it becomes extremely difficult to continue leading effectively.'

Investigators are looking into allegations that O'Hara had intimate relations with several city staff members, Frey said. When Frey told O'Hara he would face discipline over the alleged interference, O'Hara chose to resign instead.

"I accepted the resignation. It was an extremely painful decision, obviously, but I concluded that that was necessary to maintain public trust, and this was the right way to move forward as a city," the mayor said.

"When you serve as chief of the Minneapolis Police Department, trust is not secondary to the job, it is the job," he added. "When trust is broken, it becomes extremely difficult to continue leading effectively."

According to the allegations, O'Hara deleted a contact from his city-issued phone in order to "shield" himself, and he also warned a colleague about the investigation after he was specifically instructed not to do so.

The independent law firm investigating the sex claims did not find enough evidence to substantiate the allegations.

Frey said that Assistant Police Chief Katie Blackwell would take up the mantle as acting police chief while the city conducted a search for an interim police chief.

"This is not about being intolerant of mistakes," he added. "Everyone makes mistakes including me. But what I can't allow is a breach of trust."

O'Hara had been criticized for not doing enough to combat federal operations in Minneapolis as well as the police response to the shooting of Davis Moturi. He also oversaw the police response to the Annunciation Catholic Church shooting in Aug. 2025.

Despite the criticism against the police chief, Frey had nominated O'Hara to another four-year term earlier this month. The mayor said Wednesday that he would not have done so if he knew about the allegations.

City council members, including the president, criticized Frey heavily over the O'Hara affair.

Teen arrested for stabbing on campus after HS graduation — and violence is caught on video



A male teenager was arrested in connection with a stabbing that occurred on campus after a high school graduation Friday in Daly City, California. Daly City is just minutes south of San Francisco.

The teen was arrested for assault with a deadly weapon, police told KTVU-TV.

'We understand this news is deeply upsetting for our students, families, staff, and community.'

The Daly City Police Department told the station that officers responded at 4:30 p.m. for a report of an active fight involving multiple individuals. The stabbing occurred at Westmoor High School, the station added.

Arriving officers found a 21-year-old victim suffering from non-life-threatening stab wounds, KTVU said, adding that the victim was taken to a hospital for treatment.

A 15-year-old boy was identified as the stabbing suspect and was arrested, the station added.

Police said no other injuries were reported in connection with the fight, KTVU said, adding that officers recovered at the scene the weapon used in the stabbing but did not describe the weapon in detail.

The violence was captured on cellphone video.

Westmoor High School Principal Victor Zou issued a statement saying school officials "are cooperating fully with law enforcement. We understand this news is deeply upsetting for our students, families, staff, and community. Our thoughts are with all those impacted by this incident," KTVU said.

Zou's statement didn't indicate whether the suspect is a student but did say the victim has no relationship with the school district, the station added.

More from KTVU:

KTVU has received videos of violence on campus from separate sources. The chaotic moments of a fight breaking out on an outdoor basketball court are captured. One video shows a person on the ground being attacked by a group and someone coming to their defense. The person who came to the defense is also attacked.

Later in the video, two people who are fighting are pulled apart. One of them appears to be bleeding profusely from their face and torso. By the end of this video, police arrive on the scene and chase people involved in the fight on foot.

Someone can be seen trying to intervene to break up the fight. There are plenty of bystanders, some are wearing their caps and gowns.

Other videos show different angles. One person in the background can be heard saying, "Get these punks out of our school." Others can be heard calling for some type of security intervention.

Police are asking those with more information about the incident to contact them at 650-991-8169, the station said.

Musk seeks justice for British teen who died in police custody after being accused of racism by Sikh suspected murderer



Blood has begun to boil in response to the damning revelations about the unprovoked butchery of 18-year-old Englishman Henry Nowak, his apparent post-stabbing traducement by Sikh suspect Vickrum Digwa, and his bloody death in Southampton police custody.

Tommy Robinson, an activist who has been highly vocal about the fallout of mass immigration and the failure of multiculturalism in England, said the evidence presented in Digwa's murder trial is "f**king outrageous."

'Will the anti-racism movement even bat an eyelid?'

Former Trump adviser and Tesla CEO Elon Musk called Nowak's alleged treatment by police "unconscionable."

"This poor boy was running away from someone who stabbed him & stole his phone, but the police in the UK attacked him instead of his murderer!" Musk claimed.

Musk has vowed to "fund a wrongful death lawsuit against these disgusting excuses for law enforcement," adding that "they damn well better have been fired."

The Hampshire and Isle of Wight Constabulary, which oversees Southampton, noted in a release several days after Nowak's slaying — a release that was recently scrubbed from the department's website — that officers responded around 11:30 p.m. on Dec. 3, 2025, to reports of an altercation taking place in Portswood, a suburb of Southampton, England.

The constabulary stated that officers found Nowak with multiple stab wounds; that he was pronounced dead on the scene; and that Digwa and his mother, Kiran Kaur, were charged in connection with the Englishman's death.

Of course, there was far more to the story.

Prosecutor Nicholas Lobbenberg provided the jury in Digwa's trial with additional insights into Nowak's demise, alleging, for example, that:

  • Nowak — on his way home from a night out with his soccer team during which he consumed less than the drink-drive limit — was happily singing to himself and sending Snapchat videos to friends when he encountered Digwa;
  • Nowak captured footage on his phone of Digwa openly carrying around an 8-inch Sikh blade, in addition to the smaller kirpan blade he was also carrying around his neck;
  • Nowak's phone containing the damning footage — including a clip where the suspect states, "I am a bad man" — was ultimately found in Digwa's pocket;
  • Neighbors supposedly did not see the attack but heard Nowak declare that he had been stabbed and was dying;
  • The victim, spouting blood, attempted to climb a fence to escape his attacker, only to have the Sikh alleged assailant "aggressively pursue him";
  • Digwa "didn't seek help for the man he had injured with his sizeable knife, instead he accused him of being a racist and being drunk";
  • Digwa's mother was captured on video taking the murder weapon back to the family home where it was "stashed among an arsenal of weapons at the home";
  • Analysis found DNA from the mother, hairs from Digwa, and blood from Nowak on the knife; and
  • Digwa declined to comment in a police interview following the stabbing but provided a prepared statement claiming that "Henry Nowak had subjected him to a drunken, racist attack," in response to which he "stabbed out twice with his kirpan."

Jurors were shown police bodycam footage of Nowak's arrest. The footage shows police first finding Nowak leaning against a wall, being propped up by the suspect's father, the Daily Echo reported.

Nowak, who can be heard on the footage saying he "can't breathe," according to the Daily Echo, is handcuffed while on his side and bleeding out. After an officer informs the victim that he is under arrest on suspicion of assault, Nowak repeatedly states that he has been stabbed.

According to the Daily Echo, a male voice responds at one point: "I don't think you have, mate."

Only after the pierced Briton collapsed did police reportedly start administering first aid. By the time a doctor was flown in by helicopter, the young man had perished.

"A student was stabbed with a 'shashtar' knife on a night out. As he lay bleeding to death, his attacker claimed he'd racially abused him, so the police handcuffed him. Henry Nowak choked to death, in a puddle of his own blood under arrest for 'racism', in Britain, in 2025," wrote British politician Robert Jenrick, a Reform UK member of parliament.

"Will there be protests at his death? Will the anti-racism movement even bat an eyelid?" Jenrick continued. "I suspect not. They've totally lost the plot."

The Hampshire and Isle of Wight Constabulary did not respond to Blaze News' request for comment, nor did the councilors and the member of parliament who oversee Portswood.

'Teen chaos in DC': Brawl with chairs used as weapons erupts in Chipotle after Pirro's warning to parents of thugs



A massive brawl broke out in a Washington, D.C., Chipotle restaurant Saturday night — with chairs being thrown and used as weapons — just one day after U.S. Attorney for the District of Columbia Jeanine Pirro announced she would prosecute parents of youths taking part in "teen takeovers," WJLA-TV reported.

The Metropolitan Police Department said officers were called around 8:41 p.m. to the Chipotle in the 1200 block of First Street SE in the Navy Yard over reports of a large fight inside the restaurant, the station said.

'It's really puzzling to me because there's nothing here for adolescents or teenagers. I understand DC is taking measures to involve youth in different programs, but I really think people's parents need to get more involved and understanding where their children are.'

Officers were already deployed nearby, monitoring a large group, and arrived within one minute of the call, WJLA said.

But police told the station that by the time officers arrived on scene, those involved in the brawl had already fled.

The station's video report described the incident as "teen chaos in D.C."

Ken Ledet, a Navy Yard resident, told WJLA he's witnessed similar danger in recent months.

"It's not shocking anymore, since this has become routine on Saturdays and Friday nights, but it's disappointing to know this is still happening," Ledet told the station. "I actually come to this Chipotle at least three or four times a week, so thankfully I didn't come here last night."

WJLA said its cameras captured the moment police officers chased down and arrested an individual just across the street, in the community's large field area.

RELATED: Parents of thugs in 'teen takeovers' may face fines — and even jail time, says Jeanine Pirro

Saturday night's incident took place just one day after Pirro announced she would prosecute parents of youths taking part "teen takeovers," the station said.

"Starting today, my office will aggressively prosecute parents under D.C.'s curfew law," Pirro said Friday, according to WJLA.

"It involves contributing to the delinquency of a minor. This statute makes it unlawful for an adult to enable, facilitate, or permit a minor to engage in delinquent acts," the station added.

More from the station:

In the past, MPD has established juvenile curfew zones in response to and to prevent incidents like what unfolded Saturday. Under D.C. law, there is already a citywide curfew for anyone under 18 from 11 p.m. until 6 a.m., Sunday through Thursday, and 12:01 a.m. until 6 a.m. on Friday and Saturday nights.

However, under emergency laws and executive orders, the MPD chief has recently had the power to establish juvenile curfew zones in certain areas, starting at 8 p.m., that ban kids from gathering in groups of nine or more for up to three days.

Both the temporary emergency law and the most recent mayoral order expired, meaning MPD could not establish these earlier curfew zones this weekend.

The D.C. Council approved a law creating a permanent curfew, but it will not go into effect until later in the summer, the station said.

Residents like Ledet told WJLA that accountability is needed.

"It's really puzzling to me because there's nothing here for adolescents or teenagers. I understand D.C. is taking measures to involve youth in different programs, but I really think people's parents need to get more involved and understanding where their children are," Ledet noted to the station.

A police report sent to WJLA Monday morning states two groups of juveniles got into an argument inside the restaurant before things escalated into a physical fight.

The police report states that "there was no report of injuries or damage," the station said.

Those with information are asked to call police at 202-727-9099 or text tips to 50411, WJLA added.

Indeed, teen takeovers have become a nationwide concern.

Blaze News recently reported about several such incidents in Florida, with one occurring in Tampa earlier this month involving individuals as young as 12 years of age. In April, fights erupted and sheriff's deputies were hurt after more than 1,000 teenagers descended upon ICON Park in Orlando as part of a planned "takeover."

Tampa Police said that with summer approaching, the growing "takeover" trend has become a concern for communities across the country.

Repeat offender pleaded guilty in 2021 to firing at cops — but judge issued light sentence. Now he's accused in new shooting.



A repeat offender who's accused of seriously wounding two in a brazen daytime shooting Monday in Cambridge, Massachusetts, seemed headed for a long stretch in prison after he pleaded guilty in 2021 to firing at police officers in Boston.

You see, prosecutors wanted Tyler E. Brown to serve at least 10 years in prison for shooting at cops the year before, the Boston Globe reported.

'I am a firm believer that when Mr. Tyler Brown gets out, he will hurt, or worse, kill someone.'

However, the paper said Judge Janet L. Sanders imposed a sentence of five to six years in state prison, with credit for about 18 months he’d spent in custody while the case was pending.

After just a few years behind bars, Brown was released back into the community, WFXT-TV reported.

Brown on Monday allegedly shot two people with a rifle on a Cambridge street not far from Harvard and MIT, the Globe said. The victims remained hospitalized Tuesday with life-threatening injuries, officials told the paper.

RELATED: 19-year-old thug reportedly violated bond at least a half dozen times before being accused of murder — while out on probation

Brown was shot by a state trooper and an armed civilian, the Globe said, and remained at an area hospital.

Officials on Monday said Brown is expected to face two counts of armed assault with intent to murder and firearms offenses, the paper reported.

Forget how angry officials likely are over Monday's shooting given that Brown might otherwise have been behind bars. Law enforcement was outraged back in 2021 over Brown's lighter sentence — records show he was already on probation for a stabbing and witness intimidation at the time, WFXT noted.

One officer even predicted Brown would return to violence once he was released.

"I am a firm believer that when Mr. Tyler Brown gets out, he will hurt, or worse, kill someone," one officer involved in the 2020 shooting wrote in an impact statement, according to WCVB-TV. "Probation apparently means nothing to Mr. Tyler Brown, nor does the value of life."

Gregory Long, the department’s superintendent in chief at the time, said in a statement after Brown's August 2021 sentence that "the Boston Police Department is extremely disappointed in this sentence," the Globe reported.

Long, according to the paper, added that "this sentence does not reflect the magnitude and seriousness of the offense committed by this individual. Acts of violence such as this in our city streets require and demand adequate accountability."

Even George Soros-backed Rachael Rollins — the Suffolk district attorney at the time — wasn't happy with the judge's sentence.

"My office recommended a significant sentence for Mr. Brown given the nature of his offenses and the trauma and harm he inflicted," Rollins said, according to the Globe. "I am disappointed in the sentence that was imposed."

As Blaze News previously reported, Rollins in 2023 announced plans to resign as Massachusetts U.S. attorney after she was accused of leaking "sensitive DOJ" information to the press in an effort to influence an election in favor of a fellow Democratic colleague.

More from the Globe:

Brown, now 46, had only been out of jail a few months on May 16, 2020, when he opened fire at several officers who had responded to a report of a man with a gun who was threatening people on Northampton Street in the South End. He was arrested after he fled to Massachusetts Avenue, where he shot at officers who returned fire, the Globe reported.

He pleaded guilty the following year to eight charges, including armed assault with intent to murder, attempted assault and battery by means of discharging a firearm for firing at a Boston police officer, and three counts of assault with a dangerous weapon for pointing a firearm at additional responding Boston police officers, officials said.

Prosecutors said they had sought a sentence of 10 to 12 years, followed by five years of probation. At the time of the shooting, Brown was on probation for a 2014 conviction for assault and battery with a dangerous weapon, a knife, and witness intimidation, records show.

In relation to Monday afternoon's shooting, Middlesex County District Attorney Marian Ryan told WFXT in a separate story that an active shooter situation was under way when officers arrived at the scene in Cambridge, noting that the suspect "was already traveling down the middle of Memorial Drive, cars were stopped in traffic, ... and he was actively firing in an erratic fashion at various vehicles along the road."

Two victims in separate vehicles were struck by gunfire, including a municipal bus driver who reportedly drove himself to the hospital after he was shot in the head, WFXT said.

Authorities added that a state police trooper — as well as a civilian described as a former Marine licensed to carry a firearm — moved toward the suspect while shots were being fired, WFXT said.

Officials said the suspect was struck multiple times in the lower extremities and treated at the scene, WFXT added.

Ryan noted that motorists abandoned their vehicles and ran in multiple directions as the shooting unfolded, WFXT reported, adding that some people reportedly took cover underneath their cars.

Florida thug allegedly stabs his grandmother 11 times on Mother's Day — after being asked to help carry in groceries



A 29-year-old Florida male allegedly stabbed his grandmother 11 times on Mother's Day after being asked to help carry in groceries.

The West Palm Beach Police Department said it received a call around 1:26 p.m. from a relative reporting that Keo Nottage had stabbed his grandmother, WPEC-TV reported.

'Someone is going to die today.'

When officers arrived at the scene on 52nd Street, they found Nottage and his cousin involved in a physical altercation, the station said.

The grandmother — who was attacked during the incident — told officers Nottage's cousin had just returned from the grocery store to prepare for a Mother's Day dinner, WPEC said.

When the cousin asked Nottage to help bring in groceries, Nottage allegedly replied, "Someone is going to die today," the station said.

Shortly afterward Nottage entered the kitchen, grabbed a knife, and stabbed his grandmother 11 times, WPEC reported.

Witnesses told the station the cousin tried to help the grandmother during the attack. According to a WPBF-TV video report, Nottage began chasing the cousin with the knife.

WPEC said that while the cousin was on the phone with police, Nottage tried to flee the scene.

But the cousin stopped Nottage, which led to another physical altercation between the two and resulted in an injury to the cousin's hand, WPEC said.

Surveillance video and eyewitness accounts confirmed the sequence of events, WPEC said, adding that police subsequently accused Nottage of attempted first-degree murder and aggravated assault with a deadly weapon.

WPBF said Nottage — who appeared in court Monday — is being held without bond.

The grandmother was taken to a hospital for surgery and was in critical condition, WPEC said.

Yet another violent Florida 'teen takeover' leads to arrests of suspects as young as 12, officials say



Yet another violent Florida "teen takeover" has led to the arrests of suspects as young as 12, officials said.

Tampa Police officers arrested 22 people in connection with the Friday-night incident in the area of Curtis Hixon Park, which police said resulted in "significant disruptions, fights, and other issues in the park."

'Unfortunately, the poor decisions made by these 22 individuals last night could have lasting consequences that follow them well into adulthood.'

Police said arrestees were charged with crimes ranging from affray, possession of narcotics, and resisting arrest to unlawful possession of a weapon. A state statute defines "affray" — a first-degree misdemeanor — as engaging "by mutual consent, in fighting with another person in a public place to the terror of the people." Officers also seized two firearms and one vehicle connected with the disturbance, police said.

Police said patrol officers, bike units, and Air Service personnel responded to the incident; much of the response was captured on video.

Police also listed the following descriptions of each arrested individual:

  • 12-year-old (black male): Affray
  • 13-year-old (black female): Affray
  • 13-year-old (black male): Affray, possession of a controlled substance, possession of drugs without a prescription
  • 13-year-old (black male): Affray
  • 13-year-old (black male): Affray
  • 13-year-old (black male): Affray
  • 13-year-old (black male): Possession of a Controlled Substance and affray
  • 14-year-old (black male): Affray
  • 14-year-old (black male): Affray and resisting an officer with violence

Bodycam video shows one officer approaching a large group of brawling individuals while others are seen recording the violent chaos on their cell phones. Video also was recorded from the air that depicts the large scope of the violence.

"This type of reckless and criminal behavior will not be tolerated in our city," Chief of Police Lee Bercaw said. "What began as a large gathering quickly escalated into disorder and activity that placed others at risk. Parents need to know where their children are and who they are with. Unfortunately, the poor decisions made by these 22 individuals last night could have lasting consequences that follow them well into adulthood. The Tampa Police Department remains committed to being one of the safest major cities in the nation, and we will continue taking strong enforcement action against anyone who threatens the peace and safety of our community."

Just last month, fights erupted and sheriff's deputies were hurt after more than 1,000 teenagers descended upon ICON Park in Orlando as part of a planned "takeover."

Indeed, Tampa Police added that with summer approaching, the growing "takeover" trend has become a concern for communities across the country — not just in Tampa.
