Robert de Niro was asked to film a video for the #VoteYourFuture initiative. The Oscar Award-winning actor used the opportunity to rip into Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump with such ferocity, that the producers decided it would be best to release the clip separately on Friday, October 7th.
"He's so blatantly stupid," de Niro says of Trump. "He's a punk. He's a dog. He's a pig. He's a con ... a bullshit artist. A mutt who doesn't know what he's talking about. Doesn't do his homework, doesn't care. Thinks he's gaming society. Doesn't pay his taxes, he's an idior. Colin Powell said it best, he's a national disaster. He's an embarrassment to this country," de Niro continued. "It makes me so angry this country has gotten to this point that this fool, this bozo, has wound up where he has. He talks how he wants to punch people in the face. Well, I'd like to punch him in the face. This is somebody that we want for president? I don't think so."

**UPDATE** April 30
16-year old Michael Singleton learned a couple of valuable lessons earlier this week when he received the whipping seen around the world.
The teenager now has a better appreciation of how much his mother, Tonya Graham, loves him and has a clearer picture of how he wants to live his life.
“I understand how much my mother really cares about me. I just got to try to do better," Singleton told ABC News.
Michael's mother is known in the community as a person who is not going to stand for nonsense.
"All my friends know my mother. Every time they see her they’re like, 'Tonya coming.' Oh, yeah she’s coming. Everybody better get straight," he said.
"To see him down there, doing what he was doing, we're not doing that," Graham said. "I'm not angry with him anymore. As long as I have breath in my body, you will not be on the streets, selling drugs, you just not going to live like that.”
San Francisco Police Chief Greg Suhr speaks to members of the media

SAN FRANCISCO (KTVU) - San Francisco Police Chief Greg Suhr on Friday announced the conclusion of an Internal Affairs investigation into racist and homophobic text messages sent by officers.
Suhr said at least one police sergeant and a captain were involved. "It just makes me sick to even talk about it," said Suhr. "Certainly to have a member as high ranking as a captain was particularly disheartening."
The texts surfaced a couple of weeks ago after former officer Ian Furminger was sentenced on federal corruption charges.

Fourteen officers in all were the subject of an internal investigation. Suhr says eight - including the captain - sent messages sickening enough to warrant immediate suspension and eventual termination.
Michael Robison - a gay police officer and 23 year veteran - resigned over the texts he shared with Furminger.
On Friday, Officer Michael Celis, a 16 year veteran of the force, announced he'd step down as well - a move that may help the officers keep their pensions.
"Those [texts] don't represent his views, they don't represent how he approached his work and his life," said San Francisco attorney Tony Brass, who represents Celis and Robison. "But he understands that the texts are incompatible with continuing his work as a San Francisco police officer."
In a statement, San Francisco Police Officers Association President Martin Halloran said, "These officers need to be afforded their due process... If these allegations are proven to be true... there is no place for this type of behavior within the San Francisco Police Officers Association or the SFPD."
The officers will go before the Police Commission, which will have the final say on whether to terminate them or mete out another form of discipline.
Critics on Friday called for reform in the department. "We have to vet officers," said San Francisco Public Defender Jeff Adachi, "so we don't have officers who hold racist views that are going to endanger not only themselves but the public, and also provide training on unconscious bias."
Suhr said the department recently restored a racial profiling class that had lost funding and plans to examine officers' backgrounds for warning signs.
"You have to assume that there could be more," said Suhr. "So we're going to look at their personal history questionnaires to see if there's some commonality that we hired somebody that we should've known that we shouldn't have hired."
Compelling video has been released of a hostage situation gone terribly wrong in Panama City, Florida.
56-year old Clay Duke interrupted a school board meeting yesterday, by first painting a large, red ”V" on the wall. He then pulled out a handgun, telling all the women they could leave, and the male board members to stay.
“Everybody in this room, except the a**holes behind that counter, hit the road. The women can leave, you six men stay,” he said.
Duke then started rambling about the school board firing his wife and how their benefits had run out. He declared that he was either going to die or be sent to prison for a long time.
School board member Ginger Littleton had left the room as instructed by the gunman. But in an incredible act of bravery, she returned and attempted to disarm Duke when he turned his back. She snuck up behind him and hit the arm holding the gun with her purse.
It didn’t work, Duke simply knocked her to the ground, calling her a “stupid b*tch.”
“Quite frankly, at that point in the back of my mind, I thought . ‘You know, you’re probably right,” Littleton said later.
“To me it was either go for it now or live with the consequences, and I couldn’t live with the consequences,” she said. “He pointed the gun directly at my head and he didn’t choose to do that to me. I’m sure when I wake up tomorrow I’ll be a sadder, but wiser person.”
Duke spent several minutes talking to Superintendent Bill Husfelt, who swore that he didn’t remember his wife.
Husfelt asked that the other board members be let go, since he was the one who probably made the decision to fire his wife. Duke then raised his gun as Husfelt pleaded for his life, and started firing wildly.
By some miracle, he didn’t hit anyone.
A security guard wounded Duke, who then took his own life.

HipHopWired Reports
For the usual artist, an upcoming album gives the green light to have their face in all types of news in order for them to promote the upcoming project. Rapper N.O.R.E, however, has taken another approach as it pertains to his release for Tuesday.
"Do not buy that album coming out on Tuesday," N.O.R.E. said at SOBE Live. "F*ck that sh*t! That's not my real album, f*ck that. That's not it, I'll announce it on the Internet or let people know, but that's not it."
Clearly, there must be some miscommunication going on somewhere in his camp. The album is supposed to be released through his Thugged Out Militainment so the statement has only raised a number of questions.
Speaking with 57th Ave, the rapper expressed his issue with his latest and the problem that has come due to the lack of support from record labels.
“But the worst feeling in the world is when you make a hit record that you know is a hit and nobody hears it or you drop an album nobody knows it's out!!! There's nothing worst in the world then going through that!!!! I just made the dopeest album of my career!!! And I'm honestly scared to let it out!!! Why now should I do so? I need the belief in a record label that I just don't have right now!!!”
Titled, S.O.R.E. for Still On the Run Eating, this project would be the rappers returns as a solo artist since 2007s Noreality. He had linked back up with his partner in rhyme, Capone, in March to release Channel 10. The album would be the return of the group CNN which hadn't released a project together in nine years.
Rumors have been floating that both Capone and NORE have spoken of an upcoming album similar to The War Report, titled Report the War, where they would reverse each individual track, such as "Money Bloody" opposed to "Bloody Money." It is speculated this album will be released sometime after both their new solo albums are released.
