Philonise Floyd, a brother of George Floyd, challenged Congress to "stop the pain" during an appearance at a House Judiciary hearing on policing practices.During his opening statement, Philonise Floyd recalled watching the bystander video of his brother's arrest — the video that shows a police officer kneeling on his neck for more than eight minutes. George Floyd later died in police custody."I can't tell you the kind of pain you feel when you watch something like that. When you watch your big brother, who you looked up to your whole entire life die, die begging for his mom?" Philonise Floyd said. "I'm tired. I'm tired of pain. Pain you feel when you watch something like that."Police originally took George Floyd into custody for allegedly using a countefeit bill to buy to but tobacco at a Minneapolis convenience store."He didn't deserve to die over ," Philonise Floyd said. "I'm asking you, is that what a black man's worth? Twenty dollars? This is 2020. Enough is enough."He added that he hoped his brother's death would not be in vain."Please listen to the call I'm making to you now. To the calls of our family and the calls ringing out the streets across the world," Philonise Floyd said. "People of all backgrounds, genders and races have come together to demand change. Honor them. Honor George and make the necessary changes that make law enforcement the solution and not the problem."Floyd is one of about a dozen witnesses to testify during the hearing Wednesday. He'll be joined by Floyd family attorney Benjamin Crump. Other civil rights and activist leaders are also expected to testify.Also expected to testify are Dan Bongino — a former Secret Service agent and ally of President Donald Trump — and other supporters of current police practices, according to ABC News.The hearing comes a day after George Floyd was buried in Houston as largely peaceful demonstrations continue in his name in dozens of major cities across the country. Floyd died in police custody on Memorial Day after bystander video showed a police officer, Derek Chauvin kneeling on his neck for more than eight minutes. Four officers face charges in connection with Floyd's death, including Chauvin, who faces a second-degree murder charge.The hearing also comes after Democrats introduced the Justice in Policing Act — a bill that proposes several changes to policing practices in the wake of Floyd's death. Among the changes proposed in the legislation is the limiting of legal protections for police, the creation of a national database of excessive-force incidents and the banning of police choke holds. 2618

PAKHOKEE, Fla. – For many growing up in Pahokee, Florida, the storyline has been, a future is defined by what happens on the field.“When I was growing up. It was either NFL or the streets,” said Hikeem Banks.To an outsider, it might seem like football is the bright spot in a city that’s been ranked as one of the most dangerous in that part of Florida."Here in Pahokee, we’re football savvy,” Banks said. “Ricky Jackson, Anquan Boldin, Janoris Jenkins, Pernell McPhee.”"Football means a lot. Most people use football as a way out,” said Pahokee football player Geoffrey Mckelton Jr.Banks is working to change the storyline in his hometown.“If you’re not from here, and you read stories about it, you would think that it’s a horror place,” said Banks.He’s working to make sure this generation has more options than he did.“I’m 5’5” so NFL wasn’t going to work,” Banks said. "I got caught up in in the system doing the wrong things which got me to be kicked out of school in the 9th grade. Resorted to drugs, abusing alcohol.”Banks fought to get his life on track. He earned his GED and college degree. He's now a teacher.Banks started Balanced Living Mentorship. He works with young people, many members of the Pahokee High School football team, to teach them about life.“I believe every kid needs a balanced life outside of football. If you don’t have grades, you can’t go on to the next level,” Banks said.“He’s teaching us to be a better person in life, not just for football,” said Pahokee football player Albert Johnson Jr.Like many who take part in the mentoring program, Johnson Jr. has NFL aspirations, but he also dreams of owning his own tech company one day.“Like they say, the NFL is not for long. And there are a few people who make it the NFL,” he said."Once football is all said and done, what do you want to be? Who do you want to be?” head coach DJ Boldin asked his players during a mentoring session."It’s good to know that there is a generation that is starting to realize that, so they won’t feel like football is the end all be all,” Boldin said.Football will always be a big part of Pahokee’s makeup, but Banks wants the makeup of those who play it to be so much more than that. 2208

Parents everywhere are looking for hot holiday toys — especially online. Unfortunately, so are computerized "Grinch Bots", which buy up huge amounts of the popular toys so they can be resold by scalpers at 3rd party websites with greatly marked-up prices."Grinch Bots" are able to search websites and grab the toys faster than consumers.It is such a concern that U.S. Senator Charles Schumer (D-NY) is pushing Congress to pass the "Stopping Grinch Bots Act of 2018."The proposed legislation would give the FTC authority to track and prosecute scalpers who use "Grinch Bots."Schumer's office found that, last year, "Grinch Bots" contributed to "sold out" status online for several popular toys which then showed up on sites like Ebay with inflated prices: 787

OTAY MESA, Calif. (KGTV) - A housing development going up in the South Bay could be giving San Diego renters a better chance to become homeowners.That's because the attached homes that comprise the Playa del Sol master plan community in Otay Mesa start from the high 0,000s, which is just above the median price for the area. "This is an opportunity for the first-time home buyer," said Jimmy Ayala, division president for Pardee Homes, which is developing the community. The development, with some phases already complete, will ultimately grow to 800 units, all with two or more bedrooms. It's located just north of the 905 freeway at Caliente Road. RELATED: Making it in San Diego: Key saving steps helped renter buy her first homeAyala says the market has cooled in the last two years, and lower interest rates have helped turn renters into buyers. He says Pardee has its own mortgage company, so it is able to work with buyers who may not have a large amount of cash for a down payment. Ayala says typical monthly payments range between ,600 and ,200 a month, and most people put 5 to 10 percent down. "In this general vicinity, there's about 2,000 homes that are currently being rented and we draw from those folks who are cash flowing, so to speak, on a monthly basis but don't always have a down payment for a home," Ayala said. RELATED: Making It In San Diego: How housing got so expensiveAyala said currently there are two units available in the high 0,000s but that most are on the market 0,000s. The HOA fees for the complex run about 5 per month. Heather Evans, who is paying ,200 a month for her daughter to rent a room near Mesa College, said several of her relatives feel buying is out of reach. "I'd love to see her be a homeowner someday but I have nieces in the area, early 30s, that are renting," she said, adding her niece and her nieces husband pay ,000 a month for a one-bedroom apartment. Ayala said the homes are priced to market. The properties Pardee is selling in East County are available for 0,000 to 0,000, while those in Coastal North County are on the market for million to .5 million. Need more help? The San Diego Housing Coalition and San Diego County have resources to help first-time home buyers. 2272

Pink ice is causing the scientific community some concern. The Presena Glacier in northern Italy appears pink because of algae on it, which scientists say could speed up melting of the ice.The Presena Glacier is in the Alps, just south of Italy’s border with Switzerland. While there is debate about where the algae came from, Biagio Di Mauro of Italy’s National Research Council told The Guardian the pink snow observed on parts of the Presena glacier is likely caused by the same plant found in Greenland. 515
