Mel D. Cole was on the scene at last Saturday's Afro-Punk Festival to capture Ninjasonik supporting Mos Def and the legendary Bad Brains (check the band with the honorable HR above). Telli and Jah Jah brought the positive energy to the crowd at Commodore Bary Park in Brooklyn - and of course Ninjasonik is for the children each and every time.

More Mel D. Cole coverage of the Afro-Punk fest and Ninjasonik at the Vice party with MIA at Village Slum.

Democracy Now covers the conviction of JON BURGE in Chicago:
Decades after torture allegations were first leveled against former Chicago police commander Jon Burge, a federal jury has found him guilty of lying about torturing prisoners into making confessions. Burge has long been accused of overseeing the systematic torture of more than 100 African American men. Two years ago federal prosecutors finally brought charges against Burge—not for torture, but for lying about it. On Monday afternoon, after a five-week trial, Jon Burge was found guilty on all counts of perjury and obstruction of justice for lying about the abuse. He could face up to forty-five years in prison.

Outside the courthouse, the verdict drew a visibly emotional response from one of the men who had been tortured under Burge, Mark Clements.

MARK CLEMENTS: These people stole my [bleep] life! I hate to tell you the truth. I sat in a prison cell, and I prayed for this day! Today is a victory for every poor person. I was sixteen years old! This is America! Sixteen years old! What are we going to do about other people who are sitting in those prisons? And I’m sorry if I’m offending anyone, but it’s out!

Odds are on the officer winning the case - even for beating on an Iraq vet while they had him in cuffs. Just because it was caught on camera doesn't mean anything. More on the story at Huff Post.
