PROBLEM: Verify if the sentiment of the following document towards the entity Tom Dart is Negative . Cook County Sheriff Tom Dart  is going to court to unmask the person who alleged in emails to politicians  Chicago police investigators and journalists that  Dart  attacked  his  wife at their South Side home.
 Dart  filed the legal papers Wednesday in his personal capacity  not as sheriff  and hired lawyer John F. Winters Jr.  who specializes in defamation cases. Such court filings are often a prelude to a defamation lawsuit filed against the person behind anonymous emails or web postings.
“ Tom  has been subjected to sustained attacks on  his  integrity  and even threats to  his  life  during  his  tenure as sheriff ” said Dennis Culloton  who is acting as  Dart ’s personal spokesman  in a statement. “Over the past several months  these attacks have escalated to include false and vicious rumors involving his wife and family  perpetuated by cowards who hide behind fake email addresses and anonymous blogs. Through this filing we hope to hold those people accountable.”
The first of two October emails cited in the filing allege  Dart  “committed a Domestic Battery” on his wife “causing visible injuries to her face” that were observed by responding Chicago and Cook County sheriff’s police on either Oct. 11 or 12. They allege a police report was taken but that the attacker was listed as “unknown” and that a 911 call was placed to  Dart ’s home.
“This incident is being attempted to be swept under the rug ” the email’s author  who describes himself as a “Cook County taxpayer” named “Dan ” writes.  “Tom Dart  should not be able to get away with this!”
Records show a complaint was also made to a Chicago police oversight agency in October alleging that police refused to act or take reports “in regards to an incident that occurred at  Sheriff Tom Dart’s  home that involved  his  wife and  his  girlfriend.”

PROBLEM: Verify if the sentiment of the following document towards the entity David Clarke is Positive . It's not enough to tell people that if they see something  they should say something  as often  people do not know what to watch for and report   former Milwaukee County Sheriff David Clarke  said Tuesday.
"There are a lot of people  350 million people in the United States  " Clarke  told Fox News' "Fox & Friends" program  while commenting about the deadly Las Vegas concert shooting. "They are not all known to law enforcement  so where I would start is doing a better job of engaging the public to help us out."
 Clarke  described Paddock Tuesday at the "needle in the haystack reference that you hear in homeland security enterprise and environment  and at times like this  the call to report troubled people starts over.
"We don't tell people specifically  you know  what to do  what to look for " said  Clarke . "I have been in law enforcement for nearly 40 years. I'm suspicious about everything."
 Clarke  said  he  has no doubt that as the investigation unfolds  there will be details that are now obvious in hindsight.
"We [should] do a better job of engaging the public  say here are the sort of things you need to look for and an ongoing campaign to do that " said  Clarke . "We spent a lot of money to see something  say something campaign. I wonder what the results are."
News broke Monday that Paddock's father had been on the FBI's Most Wanted List back in the 1960s  and  Clarke  said it will take a behavioral scientist to unwrap the shooter and  his  motives.
"We saw it in Orlando " said  Clarke . "We saw it in San Bernardino. We saw it a Fort Hood. After a while you look and what you hear over and over again is like some of the people's closest neighbors and friends saying 'hey  he seemed like a normal guy to me.' Oftentimes not."
 Clarke  said  he  expects Paddock's girlfriend  Marilou Danley  who was out of the country at the time of the shooting  will shed some light on his motives.

PROBLEM: Verify if the sentiment of the following document towards the entity Julian Assange is Positive . Officials in Ecuador have granted WikiLeaks founder  Julian Assange  citizenship after five years of living in the country’s London embassy.
Foreign Minister Maria Fernanda Espinosa said Ecuador had accepted  Assange ’s request made in December to become a citizen  arguing that citizenship would “provide the asylum seeker another layer of protection.”
“No solution will be achieved without international co-operation and the co-operation of the United Kingdom  which has also shown interest in seeking a way out ”  she  continued.
Ecuador granted Assange  whose organization WikiLeaks has published millions of classified government documents  political asylum in 2012 in an attempt to avoid extradition to Sweden over a rape claim.  Assange ’s activities exposing classified American documents may have led to further extradition to the United States  some speculated at the time.
Sweden has since dropped the rape claim  although  Assange  could still face arrest on charges of skipping bail that could also lead to extradition  meaning he is still unsafe to leave the embassy.
“The government of Ecuador recently requested diplomatic status for  Assange  here in the UK  said a spokesperson for Britain’s Foreign Office. “The UK did not grant that request  nor are we in talks with Ecuador on this matter. Ecuador knows that the way to resolve this issue is for Julian Assange to leave the embassy to face justice.”
 Assange ’s relationship with Ecuadorian authorities has been tested in the past year as a result of  his  social media and internet activities. In October 2016  the embassy temporarily cut off  his  internet access as Wikileaks continued to publish private emails from Hillary Clinton’s 2016 presidential campaign.
Last April  Ecuador’s then president-elect Lenín Moreno also warned  Assange  to not interfere with the country’s politics  after he taunted Moreno’s conservative opponent Guillermo Lasso over his defeat. Lasso had pledged to kick  Assange  out the embassy.
 Assange  has yet to comment on the development.

SOLUTION:
yes
