A cop’s son is caught on tape knocking out a defenseless homeless man and starting two other fights, but the police initially refused to arrest him.

Justin Collison, son of Sanford, Florida Lt. Chris Collison went ape sh*t on December 4, 2010. First he walks up to a homeless man who was attempting to break up a fight and punches him from behind, knocking him out. The man, Sherman Ward suffered a broken nose from the assault.

Collison wasn’t done, he approaches a second man, the DJ of The Wet Spot Bar and starts another fight. Witnesses try to subdue him and his friends can be heard scolding him for hitting people randomly.

Media coverage and citizens demanding to know why police did nothing initially, probably have more to do with the warrant being issued than anything else.

Collison is wanted on a charge of aggravated battery.

Reporter Elie Seckbach.caught up with Mike Epps recently to talk about the upcoming Manny Pacquiao vs. Sugar Shane Mosely fight.

The comedian/actor is going with Pac Man all the way in the May 7, 2011 bout being held at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas.

“I think Pacquiao’s gonna knock his a** out,” Epps said. “Pacquiao whoops everybody’s a**.”

Epps, who also trains in boxing was asked how he would fight the Filipino champion.

“I’m shooting the sh*t out of Pacquiao… boom, boom, boom!” he joked.

Epps said his love for boxing stems from seeing a lot of scraps in the streets coming up.

“I’ve seen a whole lot of people get their a** whooped in the streets, and this is a whole different ball game.”

What’s your take on the Pac Man vs. Mosely fight? Who wins and how?

As we first reported yesterday, singers Chris Brown and Raz B got into a heated argument via Twitter. Both probably should have used better judgement by avoiding the public beef that was sparked by a tweet Raz made dissing Chris for how he treated Rihanna.

Today Chris is attempting to clear the air, hoping to avoid a backlash from the gay community by issuing a public apology for using homophobic slurs during the argument.

"Yesterday was an unfortunate lack in judgment sparked by public Twitter attacks from Raz B, who was bent on getting attention. Words cannot begin to express how sorry and frustrated I am over what transpired publicly on Twitter," Brown told TMZ. "I have learned over the past few years to not condone or represent acts of violence against anyone. Molestation and victims of such acts are not to be taken lightly; and for my comments I apologize -- from the bottom of my heart."

Meanwhile Raz's brother Ricky Romance released a video threatening Brown's life.

"This message is for Chris Brown... if I see you in L.A. im gonna put my motherf*cking pistol in your mouth, I promise you," Romance says in the video. "So make sure you keep them tweets to yourself my n*gga, and make sure you apologize."

This is getting mad strange, check the video out below.

President Obama recently called Philadelphia Eagles owner Jeffrey Lurie to congratulate him on the teams success this year, and for giving Michael Vick a second chance.

The call was enough to once again rile up those who feel like Vick hasn’t suffered enough for his role in a dog fighting ring. Never mind the fact that Vick served 19 months in prison, became a national disgrace and lost millions of dollars for his transgression.

Some people want the man to pay with his life, Tucker Carlson is one of those people.

Carlson is guest hosting Fox News’ ‘Hannity’ show this week. During a discussion about Obama’s call to Lurie, Carlson criticized the President for supporting Vick getting a second chance and said the football player should have been put to death for his crime.

"I'm a Christian, I've made mistakes myself, I believe fervently in second chances, but Michael Vick killed dogs, and he did [it] in a heartless and cruel way," Carlson said. "And I think personally he should have been executed for that. He wasn't. But the idea that the President of the United States would be getting behind someone who murdered dogs [is] kind of beyond the pale."

What's your take on Carlson's comments? Do you think Fox should fire him? Or was what he said ok in your opinion?

Twitter seems to the spot for entertainers to air each other out. Almost weekly there is some kind of beef popping off via the social network. Today’s drama featured Chris Brown and Raz B going in on each other about Rihanna of all people.

Since news broke that Rihanna and baseball player Matt Kemp split up, Raz B has been tweeting nonstop about his love for the singer.

“This is the video that made me fall for @Rihanna ummmm I’m gonna chew you up a bubblegum,” Raz tweeted, adding a link to Ri’s “Rude Boy” video.

It’s an odd way to try to get someone like Rihanna’s attention, but Raz has been doing a lot of strange sh*t lately.

He continued his Rihanna tweets, then out of nowhere dissed singers Eric Benet and Chris Brown.

“I’m sitting here thinking how can n*ggas like @ebenet & @ChrisBrown disrespect women as intelligent as @HalleBerry11 and @Rihanna.”

That was all it took to get Breezy fired up, he quickly shot back, “@razb2k n*gga you want attention! Grow up n*gga!!! D*ck in the booty a** lil boy.”

From that point on the two exchanged insults back and forth.

Raz: @Chrisbrown Do you hit your boyfriend @andre_merritt like you do your women?

Recently we covered a story about Haitian voodoo priests being lynched by angry mobs accusing them of spreading cholera in the earthquake ravaged country.

Another voodoo related story has just emerged, this time involving an American relief worker.

32-year old Paul Waggoner, the co-founder of Materials Management Relief Corps has been accused of turning a 15-month old dead baby boy into a zombie for the purpose of selling it’s organs.

Paul Waggoner being transported to a Haitian prison.

Waggoner is being held in prison pending further investigation after a judge ruled there was enough evidence to look into the charges further.

The accusation was made by the child’s father Frantz Philistin, who brought the sick child to a hospital in February. Philistin handed the child over to Waggoner, who then took the child to doctors. The child died, but wasn’t treated by Waggoner.

When the father came back the next day doctors say he saw the baby and confirmed his death. He refused to take the child with him, insisting he didn’t have the money for a burial, and the child was cremated by the hospital. But now Philistin is accusing Waggoner of performing voodoo on the child to keep him alive.

“My son is not dead, when I tried to close his eyes they wouldn’t close. When I tried to close his mouth it wouldn’t close,” Philistin told  AOL news.

Frantz Philistin has accused Waggoner of using voodoo to turn his 15-month old baby into a zombie for the purpose of selling it's organs

Doctors on call at the time of the child’s death dispute Philistin’s claims.

“I listened to the baby’s chest for at least two minutes,” Dr Kenneth Adams said. “And there were neither breath sounds nor heartbeat. Rigor mortis had set it, the baby’s lips and skin were bluish gray and there was corneal clouding of the eyes. I always take very seriously pronouncing the death of any patient.”

Waggoner’s friends are concerned or his safety.

Paul Sebring came to Haiti with Waggoner, he says the prison conditions are horrible.

We’ve literally given up everything in our lives to come help, and then this happens, we need help,” Sebring told MyFoxPhoenix. “The conditions he‘s in now I‘ve been to the prison. I wouldn’t even put an animal through that.”

The U.S. State Department is monitoring the case closely according to spokesman P.J. Crowley.

What’s uncertain is how long Waggoner will remain jailed and if the U.S. can do anything to get him released.

It’s always cool to see young kids working hard to pursue their dreams.

Check her out as she performs to Willow Smith’s song “Whip My Hair.”

Dramatic CCTV footage captured a man narrowly avoiding certain death, when he manages to outrun a truck that was about to hit him.

Police in the Turkish city of Adiyaman just released of the incident that happened in early December.

53-year old Bekir Ozcan was casually crossing the street at a redlight. Before he could get to the other side the light turned green. The truck Ozcan was walking past didn’t see him and starts moving forward, leaving Ozcan no other choice but to try and outrun it.

Pedestrians managed to get the truck drivers attention, who slowed down just as Ozcan managed to throw himself on the road according to Yahoo UK.

Lucky to be alive, Ozcan’s got one hell of a story to tell to his grandkids.

Rapper Earl Simmons, better known as DMX, is housed in a mental-health unit at an Arizona State Prison Complex facility called Alhambra near 25th street and Van Buren.

DMX was sentenced to a year in jail (minus 113 days served) on December 16, after he pleaded guilty to violating the terms of his probation. At his sentencing, Judge Christine Mulleneaux told him she believes he has "an undiagnosed mental condition," possibly bi-polar disorder.

DMX's manager, Nakia Walker, wouldn't comment specifically on whether DMX might have a mental disorder, but she says she wasn't surprised when he was moved to a mental-health unit. The rapper himself always has refused to comment on speculation about his mental state. In 2001, he threatened to beat up writer William Shaw for asking about it in a Blender magazine interview. "Waaaay too personal," DMX said.

The embattled hip-hop star is incarcerated for the 13th time. His record includes more than 25 arrests across the nation, 11 felony convictions, and 15 misdemeanor convictions.

Arizona Department of Corrections files confirm that DMX was admitted to the Flamenco Mental Health Unit at Alhambra on December 20. According to Walker, he will not be allowed to have visitors for 30 days.
