Ever since he officially took office on May 9, London's first Muslim mayor Sadiq Khan wasted no time in criticizing and attacking Donald Trump's proposed Muslim ban. Several days ago, the presumptive candidate told the New York Times that he was happy to see Mr Khan elected, saying it could be "very, very good."

The militarization of America's police has been a topic of concern for years (most openly since The Boston Marathon bombing in 2013) but reached a crescendo in 2014 amid Ferguson's riots when the average joe was exposed to MRAPs up close and personal. In October 2014, President Obama began planning to increase funding for military equipment transfers to the police, but then in May 2015, he flip-flopped - proclaiming his goal to de-militarize the police. However, this was another lie.

Who could have seen this coming? Who? From the Dallas Morning News:
Frisco police are seeking the public’s help identifying a man who recorded a girl in the changing room at a Super Target.

Police said the girl was in the women’s changing room at the store at 3201 Preston Road about 7 p.m. Tuesday when she saw a man peering over the wall with a cellphone pointed at her.
