"In theory my Charter rights allow me to walk away," he said. "I know in that particular situation it was somewhat of a psychological detainment." |
The officer was "obviously in control enough" of the situation that he was content holding up a handful of cars to have the conversation, Green said. |
"As an elected official, you know, I wanted to try to cooperate with him and answer the questions as fully as I possibly could, and I think walking away at that time would've escalated the situation," Green said. |
Incidents like these may be something an officer quickly forgets as part of his or her day, Cole said in an address to the Ontario Bar Association. |
But the person who was questioned? "You don't forget being stopped," Cole said. |
'What would it have been if I was younger?' |
Green, who has thousands of Twitter followers and a public platform as an elected official, can talk publicly about what happened, get it off his chest, hope for change or at least increased awareness. |
Coun. Matthew Green of Ward 3 and Julia Horton, equity vice president of CUPE Local 5167, listen to a police services board discussion about street checks. (Samantha Craggs/CBC) But he wonders what would've happened if an officer had found another black man leaning against the wall on Tuesday afternoon, maybe one who's not as used to talking with police for his job. |
"What would it have been if I was younger? I'm not sure how I would've responded to that as a younger man," Green said in an interview on Bill Kelly's CHML talk show. |
"It's a dehumanizing process when you have to justify yourself to somebody for being where you are." |
'Even if you're innocent' |
Raheem Aman is a 23-year-old McMaster student who plans to be a lawyer and ran for the Green Party on the Mountain in last year's federal election. |
When he was about 17, he and his two brothers and their father were playing basketball down the street from their home in Brampton. |
On their walk home, a police car rolled up and stopped them and asked them where they were going and what they were doing, despite how obvious the answer was, Aman said. |
Raheem Aman, 23, ran for the Green Party on the Mountain in the last federal election. They were still sweating from their game on the walk down the street, Aman said. "In basketball clothes. Nothing even in our pockets," he said. |
"My dad was angry about the situation – to be disrespected in front of his children," Aman said. |
In the heated exchange that followed, the officer drew his gun and threatened his dad, Aman said. |
Now, Aman gets nervous every time he sees a police officer. |
"Sometimes even if you're innocent you can still get a little nervous based on previous experiences especially if they were negative," he said. "I'll never be the same again." |
'Living in Ancaster, water my garden every morning' |
Aman said the people who've reacted to what happened to Green with "why didn't he just politely comply with the cops?" missed the point. |
"They're talking from a position who've never been asked by the police random questions," he said. "[Police are] trying to incriminate you." |
"If I was 45 years old, say, a European woman who's never been asked random questions by police, living in Ancaster, water my garden every morning, it's a totally different context," he said. "To any … black man especially, it's tough." |
The incident with Green, whom Aman knows and considers a "brother," angered him, he said. |
"Matthew Green, who pours his heart and blood into Hamilton -- he's still treated like any one of us," he said. |
"It's not as simple as 'Just answer the questions.'" |

WHAT?!??! I know. That’s what you’re saying right now. |
“WHAT?! DISNEY HAS A DONUT SUNDAE AND I DIDN’T KNOW ABOUT IT?!” How do I know you’re saying that? Because that’s exactly what I was saying when Tina (<– amazing DFB photographer who’s frigging awesome) spotted this at the Plaza Ice Cream Parlor in the Magic Kingdom this week! |
But it’s OK. It’s brand new — not even on the menu yet — so we didn’t miss out on too much of the Donut Sundae lifespan. And we’re hoping that lifespan is a nice, long one! |
The Main Street Plaza Ice Cream Parlor can be found at the intersection of Main Street USA and Tomorrowland, just before you get to Cinderella Castle. And the sundae joins a few other must-have treats on the Ice Cream Parlor’s menu, including the house-made ice cream sandwich (preferably ordered with a drizzled sauce!), the “kids’ cone” (it’s totally OK to order this as a grown-up, too) with Mickey ears, and the Plaza Ice Cream Sundae. So…I’m really not envying you the decisions you’ll have to make when you get there! ;-D |
After spotting the sundae on a placard, we grabbed it! It comes with a warm glazed donut, warm apple compote, vanilla ice cream, chocolate sauce, whipped cream, a cherry, chocolate chips, and peanut butter chips. |
We found out that the donut was not house-made (it’s basically a Krispy Kreme), but it’s warmed just before serving. And with the warm donut and warm compote contrasting with the cold vanilla ice cream, there’s a LOT of amazing going on in this sundae! |
I’m doubting the apple compote is house-made, or even fresh (probably canned), but it still works well with the sundae. Though the combo of apple compote with peanut butter chips is a bit strange? |
At the moment, vanilla ice cream is the default flavor. The Cast Member we spoke to said that once this is officially on the menu, guests should be able to request whatever flavor they’d like. |
At press time, this costs $5.99 and is not a Disney Dining Plan snack credit option. But at $5.99, you’re still getting a bargain as far as we’re concerned! |
Our thoughts? This was fantastic! Donut? Good! Ice Cream? Good! Apple Pie Filling? Good! Whipped Cream? Good! It’s a winner all around. We can’t WAIT until this gets cemented onto the menu! |
Pin it for later! |
What do you think? Will you be heading to the Plaza Ice Cream Parlor for your Donut Sundae the next time you’re on Main Street USA? Let us know in the comments below! |
According to this report from Replays.net, this is how transfers have been standardized under the ACE Alliance in Chinese Dota 2. The latter half of the article reveals the transfer fees and related details of some of this year’s biggest moves. |
If Team B wishes to buy Team A’s player C, then B must first approach A and confirm whether the player is available for transfer. If A agrees, only then is B allowed to approach the player C. If player C is open and willing, then Team B can lay out their transfer conditions and offer. If player C does not agree to these terms, then he will remain at his current club; if player C agrees, then all three parties, A, B, and C need to communicate with ACE via email and receive their confirmation. In the ensuing days, the involved parties need to come to the ACE offices in order to sort out paperwork and related processes, and then they are allowed to make official announcements regarding the news. If the new team and their new player decides to use existing contracts, then they perform a trade of contracts while at ACE. If they decide to sign a new contract, then the new contract will be signed and backup files stored with ACE. In the case later on that a party fails to uphold their end of a contract, then ACE will be abe to lay penalties according to existing policies. |
Below are images from the transfer of KingJ from TongFu to RisingStars: |
In addition, Replays.net also received information regarding the details of this year’s transfers, as below: |
TongFu <–> RisingStars |
1. KingJ transfers from TongFu to RisingStars |
2. XTT is part of the transfer terms, and joins TongFu from Rstars, his contract is exchanged for KingJ’s |
3. RStars and TongFu respectively pay to XTT and KingJ their owed prize moneys and promotional fees |
TongFu <–> iG #1 |
1. Banana transfers from TongFu to iG |
2. TongFu pays to banana all owed prize moneys and promotional fees |
3. iG pays TongFu a transfer fee totaling 100,000 RMB for the rights to banana |
TongFu <–> iG #2 |
1. iG and TongFu agree to collaborate on themed promotional product(s) |
2. iG pays TongFu a transfer fee totaling 110,000 RMB for the rights to Hao |
3. Zhou is part of the transfer terms, and joins TongFu from iG, his contract is exchanged for Hao’s |
4. iG and TongFu respectively pay to Zhou and Hao their owed prize moneys and promotional fees |
VG <–> RisingStars |
1. CTY transfers from VG to RStars |
2. RStars pays VG a transfer fee totaling 45,000 RMB for the rights to CTY |
3. VG pays CTY’s August salary and previous promotional fees |
LGD <–> RisingStars |
1. xiaotuji’s contract is exchanged for Sylar’s |
2. xiaotuji is traded for Sylar, each player’s official transfer fee consists of the other player’s transfer rights (Dotaland note: they were essentially traded 1 for 1) |
3. LGD is to pay Sylar his promotional fees for China Joy, as well as DSL prize money |
It is easy to see from all this, that the ACE Alliance has a certain amount of influence watching over transfers and related activities, helping clubs and players maintain their rights in the process. The current scene seems to allow both player trades as well as straight cash purchases of transfer rights, akin to something of a mix between what is commonly seen in the sports of basketball and soccer (football). If a new club is willing to spend millions and buy out an entire team, what is to stop them? Additionally, it was not hard to see during this reshuffle from the weibo posts of various team managers that, despite this structure, things were still very chaotic. We hope that ACE can make further improvements to the details and processes. |

Steam Notes: Hi fellow Steamers!! Cheaters Blackjack is a program I created because I LOVE Blackjack. Its a reboot of a PC/Pocket PC app I created years ago. I made the game to play on multiple platforms (so I could enjoy it everywhere!!). All versions compete using the same scoreboards since no platform has an advantage. It can be played on PC (MAC, Linux coming soon), Mobile, Tablets and TV against the top scores of people on the other platforms. I tried to create a GUI that works equally well on all devices and think that CB21 has basically achieved the goal. |

CHICAGO (STMW) — Three people were killed and at least 13 others wounded in shootings across the city between Friday evening and Monday morning. |
The latest fatal shooting happened Sunday morning in the Marquette Park neighborhood on the Southwest Side. |
About 11:25 a.m., officers responding to a call of a person on the ground in the 6500 block of South Fairfield found 18-year-old Dennis Bradford III unresponsive with gunshot wounds to the head and wrist, according to Chicago Police and the Cook County medical examiner’s office. |
Bradford, of the the 6200 block of South Mozart, was pronounced dead at the scene at 11:43 a.m., authorities said. |

He showed up at Roseland Community Hospital, 45 W. 111th St., shortly before 5 a.m. and later was pronounced dead, police said. His name has not been released. |
Authorities are trying to determine where the shooting happened. Area South detectives are handling the homicide investigation. |
The weekend’s first fatal shooting happened Friday evening in West Elsdon on the Southwest Side. |
