Obama Calls For Calm After Three Police Officers Killed In Dallas Shootings

111412-politics-barack-obama-press-conferencePresident Obama has called for restraint after three police officers were shot dead in the city of Baton Rouge in Louisiana.
The gunman, Gavin Long, an African-American who had served for five years in the Marines, was also killed.  He had posted videos on the internet complaining about police treatment of African-Americans.
Tensions in Baton Rouge have been high since a black man Alton Sterling was shot dead by police two weeks ago.
That death – and a second police shooting in Minnesota – sparked protests across the United States and triggered a revenge attack by a black army veteran who shot dead five officers in the city of Dallas.
In a live broadcast from the White House, President Obama called upon all Americans to unite and refrain from divisive language.

Bulldog has spoken out on his acrimonious break-up with former top act Shatta Wale, who he managed for years until they abruptly ended their relationship. The whole messy break-up was interspersed with threats of violence and exposing nude photos and the like. Speaking on Hitz Fm Wednesday, Bulldog revealed that contrary to most reports, the break-up had nothing to do with money, but instead with the threats Shatta Wale made against his wife. Bulldog said when he heard Shatta Wale was threatening to release the nude photos of his wife, he knew at that point that their working relationship was over.“At the time, I had gotten information that he had my wife’s naked picture and that’s not a joke… The only reason I broke up with Shatta was my family; nothing else. I’m not money conscious. I have worked with people for free” he said. Bulldog said he just wants to set the record straight about the split. Source: ghanacelebrities.com
