Call on the Justice Department to Stop Houston's Brutal
Police Culture

Newly released video footage reveals that four Houston
police officers brutally beat a 15-year old burglary
suspect, without cause, while at least eight other
officers looked on and did nothing. And the officers
are facing only misdemeanors.

Unfortunately, this is nothing new for Houston, which
has a history of police misconduct and a lack of
accountability. Please join us in demanding real
accountability by calling on Attorney General Eric
Holder to investigate Chad Holley’s brutal beating, and
the culture that led to it.

Egyptian Solidary Song -- 'The Sound of Freedom'

Sout al Horeya

I went down and I said I am not coming back, 
I wrote on every street wall that I am not coming back.

All barriers have been broken down, 
our weapon was our dream, 
and the future is crystal clear to us, 
we have been waiting for a long time, 
we are still searching for our place, 
we keep searching for a place we belong too, 
in every corner in our country.

The sound of freedom is calling, 
in every street corner in our country, 
the sound of freedom is calling..

We will re-write history, 
if you are one of us, join us 
and don't stop us from fulfilling our dream.

Bye, Bye Mubarak

Ramy Rizkallah -- For the first time in 7000 years or
more, egyptians peacfully were able to overthrow their
Dictator. No one in Egypt could've imagined this
happening.

I shot this 20 minutes after the VP announced the
president's departure, people are chanting that the
army and the people are one hand and the army closed
the road to help people celebrate.

I just witnessed history.

I shot this on a high ISO so please excuse the noise in
the Video.
