CrimeMeet 91 Year Old Police Officer Who Has No Plan To Retire (Photos) by Shuzzi(op):
I was born and raised in Camden, Arkansas and I've lived here all my life. If you can't live here, you can't live anywhere; it's a good town. When I was a little boy, I liked excitement and so I wanted to be a police officer or a firefighter.

I finished high school at 17 because I completed two grades in one year, and I've been working since I was 16 years old. For a long time, I was a supervisor at a Camden furniture store, working in the shipping department and I had five or six people working beneath me there. But I'd always wanted to be a police officer.

I had wanted to be a state trooper but I was too old to apply at the time when minorities began to be accepted as state troopers in Arkansas, so I decided to go to the Ouachita County Sheriff's Office instead.

At 32 years old, in 1972, I was sworn in as chief jailor after three weeks training at the Arkansas Law Enforcement Training Academy. I wore a lot of hats at the sheriff's department from the administrator of the jail to being a lieutenant. I have a lot of memories from the 46 years I worked there; I meet a lot of people even now who will say: "Remember when you stopped me 40 years ago and chewed me out? It paid off."

I try to be fair with everyone. I've taken more people home than I've taken to jail. For example; people who are drunk. My thing is that if you take a kid home to their parents, 90 percent of the time that will work and they will learn their lesson.

I'll be 92 years old on May 12 and I'm the oldest police officer still working in Arkansas and, I believe, all of America. There's been a lot of change since I became a cop, every year things change.

At the beginning of my career I would do a lot of things other police officers wouldn't do so I could keep the department rolling. It's alright being a boss, but when you're supervising you have to lead by example. I wouldn't tell anybody to do anything that I wouldn't do myself. But, I had a lot of people work for me and sometimes they didn't want to do what I said and so, I had to fire them.

In 2012, I retired because I was going to go into business for myself. I spent five months in retirement and those months were terrible. I don't fish or hunt, so I didn't really have anything to do. The Camden Police Department then said that I had too much wisdom and knowledge to retire and they wanted me to join them, so I did. I just like police work, I love to help people.

I was 82 when I started with the Camden Police Department, and I'm now the neighborhood watch coordinator. But if there's anything the department wants me to do, I will do it. As well as neighborhood watch, I'm a court bailiff. They'll call me in for certain cases and I'll go there and take care of the jurors. I enjoy that. I liked the Ouachita County Sheriff's Office when I was working there, but I like the Camden Police Department better now that I'm here.

I've been in law enforcement for 56 and a half years and even now, I work four or five days a week from 7am to 3pm. The police department in Camden is full of good people. I often tell the younger police officers how to keep their job here! I tell them that the first thing you do when you're patrolling is to know who you're stopping and who the car belongs to. It might be someone else driving, but you need to know the owner of the car.

When you've found out who owns it, you exit your car, walk up to them and say, "good morning" or "good evening" and identify yourself. Of course, everybody in town knows me. When I stop people, they know exactly who it is, they just want to know why I have stopped them!

We have a population of about 11,000 people here in Camden and I know practically everyone. People often recognize me when I'm driving, they'll wave and say, "Hi Buckshot!" Most people know me by the name Buckshot. I've had that nickname ever since I was 14 years old.

I've been living in the same spot in Camden for the past 46 years. It's about two or three blocks from the police department. I don't have family left, it's only me out of eight of us living. I'm the third child, of two sisters and four brothers, but sadly my parents and siblings have all now died. So, my life now is going to work, to my local church, where I'm a deacon and going to see my girlfriend, Ora. She and I have been dating for about five years, but I've known her all my life.

I tell all the young guys that a gun and a badge don't make a police officer, you've got to want to do it. I feel good about spending my life as a police officer. It's what I always wanted to do. I'll be a police officer until the good Lord says it's time for me to go.

CrimeI Consented To Sex Because I Like Doing It - 12 Year Old Tells Court by Shuzzi(op): 8:02am On Mar 25, 2021
A magistrate court in Port Harcourt has remanded a middle-aged man, Alfred Chikere in prison for allegedly eloping with a 12-year-old girl.

The Court also ordered the detention of the minor in a remand home for agreeing to have consented to sexual intercourse with Chikere.

Chikere was slammed with two counts of Abduction and defilement of a teenager and will be prosecuted under Section 361 of the Criminal Code of the Rivers State Laws.

The Police in the charge sheet alleged that Alfred Chikere, 38 camped the 12-year-old girl in his house for up to a month before the parents launched a search for her whereabouts.

The Prosecutor ASP Omorujia further told the court that the man abducted the girl as a virgin and deflowered her through the one month he took her in.

But Senior Magistrate C.J Digwe was shocked when the 12-year-old girl said she consented to the sexual advances of Chikere because she “likes sex”.

The Court adjourned the matter to April 20, 2021, for hearing.

Foreign AffairsPrince Harry Gets A New Job At BetterUp by Shuzzi(op): 1:09am On Mar 24, 2021
Prince Harry left his role as a senior royal and after moving to California he's taking on a more American job: an executive at a tech start-up in Silicon Valley. Harry will become chief impact officer of BetterUp Inc., the company's CEO Alexi Robichaux wrote in a blog post on Tuesday.

BetterUp is a professional coaching platform with a goal to "fuel whole person growth through individual coaching and custom support," according to the company's site. 

"As a true citizen of the world, he has dedicated his life's work to bringing attention to the diverse needs of people everywhere and advocating for mental health initiatives: from founding the Invictus Games, a platform for service personnel to use sport as part of their psychological and physical rehabilitation, to launching Sentebale, which supports the mental health and wellbeing of young people affected by HIV in Lesotho and Botswana," Roubichaux said in the post. 

In his own blog post, Harry said he joined BetterUp because he believes "that focusing on and prioritising our mental fitness unlocks potential and opportunity that we never knew we had inside of us."

"As the Royal Marine Commandos say, 'It's a state of mind.' We all have it in us," he continued. He said during his decade in the military, he learned that "we don't just need to build physical resilience, but also mental resilience."

"And in the years since, my understanding of what resilience means — and how we can build it — has been shaped by the thousands of people and experts I've been fortunate to meet and learn from," Harry said. 

Harry revealed he has worked with a BetterUp coach, which he found "invaluable."

Harry and Meghan, Duke and Duchess of Sussex, left the U.K. last year and are now living in their own house in the Santa Barbara area. Harry's new job is not the couple's first business venture in the U.S. They started their own nonprofit foundation, Archewell, and also signed deals with Spotify and Netflix for content creation through Archewell Audio and Archewell Productions.

In a recent interview with Oprah Winfrey on CBS, Harry revealed the struggles he and Meghan endured as part of the royal family, including racism and negative media attention, and explained their decision to leave their roles and move to the U.S. 

He also said the royal family cut him off financially in the first quarter of 2020, when he and his wife, Meghan, Duchess of Sussex, planned to step back from their duties as "senior" royals. At the time, they had had "no plan," Harry said.

"I've got all my mom left me and without that we would not be able to do this," Harry said. According to BBC News, Harry and his brother, Prince William, received the bulk of the £13m fortune left by their mother when she died.

RomanceMacKenzie Scott Marries Dan Jewett! Jeff Bezos' Ex-Wife Remarries by Shuzzi(op): 1:25am On Mar 08, 2021
Jeff Bezos' ex-wife MacKenzie Scott, who is worth $53 billion, marries a Seattle science teacher who works at her kids' private school following 2019 divorce - and the Amazon founder wishes them congrats!

MacKenzie Scott, the ex-wife of Jeff Bezos, has remarried a Seattle private school teacher, it has been revealed.

Scott, who was previously known as MacKenzie Bezos and is worth an estimated $53 billion, divorced the Amazon founder back in 2019 after 25 years of marriage.

The 50-year-old's new husband is Dan Jewett - a science teacher at the private Seattle Lakeside School. 

The couple first mentioned their marriage publicly on Saturday in a post on the Giving Pledge - a site where billionaires and millionaires vow to dedicate their wealth to others. 

It is not yet clear when the couple married or how long they have been together. 

Bezos, in a statement via an Amazon spokesman, said: 'Dan is such a great guy, and I am happy and excited for the both of them'.

A source confirmed Scott and Jewett's marriage to the Wall Street Journal.   

In a post on the site, Jewett said he was joining his wife's 'commitment to pass on an enormous financial wealth to serve others'. 

'It is strange to be writing a letter indicating I plan to give away the majority of my wealth during my lifetime, as I have never sought to gather the kind of wealth required to feel like saying such a thing would have particular meaning,' Jewett wrote. 

'I have been a teacher for the majority of my life, as well as a grateful student of the generosity of those around me. This has meant doing my best to follow their example by passing on resources of all kinds - from time, to energy, to material possessions - when I have had them to give. 

'And now, in a stroke of happy coincidence, I am married to one of the most generous and kind people I know - and joining her in a commitment to pass on an enormous financial wealth to serve others.'

Since her divorce from Bezos in 2019, Scott - who helped create Amazon - has already dedicated a portion of her wealth.  

She gave away almost $6 billion last year alone. 

In a Medium post in December, Scott revealed she had given away $4.1 billion in the previous four months to hundreds of organizations in a bid to help those financially gutted by the COVID-19 pandemic. 

She had previously donated $1.68 billion to 116 nonprofits, universities, community development groups and legal organizations in July 2020. 

The donations are related to her Giving Pledge commitment that she made after divorcing Bezos. 

The Giving Pledge site was created by Bill and Melinda Gates and Warren Buffet. 

Other cosigners include Steve and Jean Case; Mark Zuckerberg and Priscilla Chan; and Sara Blakely. 

Bezos has so far not signed the pledge but he does routinely donate some of his wealth to charitable causes.
