PROBLEM: Verify if the sentiment of the following document towards the entity Jas Boothe is Positive . And there's one more story from the White House we want to focus on now. Earlier in the week  we learned that the president has asked the Pentagon to look into staging a military parade. It seems intended as a celebration of the military and a demonstration of military might. So we thought  who better to ask about this than the people who served in uniform and whose service is being honored? And where better to talk about this than in the Barbershop  because that's where we talk to interesting folks about what's in the news and what's on their mind? So joining us today is  Jas Boothe .  She  served for 16 years in the Army and the Army Reserves.  She  served in Kosovo  among other assignments. As  she  prepared to deploy for Operation Iraqi Freedom  though   she  was diagnosed with cancer.  She  was eventually discharged. And  she  now runs Final Salute Inc. That's an organization that helps homeless women veterans  as  she  once was.  She 's also the mother of a son serving in the Air Force and is the wife of a former Marine. Major  thank you so much for speaking with us.
PLENZLER: Yeah  I have concerns mostly around the intent and the impact of the event  plus the cost. I agree with  Jas  on that. And  you know  our national military culture  we have parades where we roll out the active duty when it's a victory parade. And the war in Afghanistan is still going on. And the war in Iraq and Syria is still going on. So  I mean  we're nowhere near the end of those two conflicts. And it may go on for some years now.
MARTIN: And what about that   Jas ? I mean  one of the things that was striking to me is that a number of the people talking about this  particularly some of the millennial era - millenniums  millennials  rather - who have been - who are very active on social media  and one of their arguments was that this kind of conjures up the image of authoritarian  you know  governments like  you know  North Korea. You know  obviously  North Korea  that these huge displays of might are kind of a signature - Venezuela  Russia. I'm going to ask you the same thing - what Sherman's point is. What if - what about something that says  I respect and appreciate you?
MARTIN: OK. Well  as we get closer  we'll call you back and see how you all feel then. That's Sherman Gillums Jr.  Marine veteran  chief strategy officer for American Veterans  AMVETS. Joe Plenzler  another Marine veteran  director of media for The American Legion. Jas Boothe  former veteran  founder of Final Salute. We want to emphasize they're all speaking for themselves. But thank you all so much for coming. And  if I may - and I understand it's controversial - thank you for your service.

SOLUTION: yes

PROBLEM: Verify if the sentiment of the following document towards the entity Jay Sekulow is Neutral .

Jay Sekulow  a member of the legal team counseling Trump on special counsel Robert S. Mueller III's wide-ranging Russia probe  said Tuesday that a second special counsel should be appointed to focus on FBI and Justice Department investigators.
 Sekulow 's call for a second special counsel was first reported Tuesday morning by Axios.
 Sekulow  did not allege wrongdoing on the part of Mueller or  his  team  telling The Washington Post that  his  call for a second special counsel has ânothing to do with Bob Mueller.â
But  Sekulow  argued that alleged conflicts of interest among FBI and Justice Department officials demand a full investigation by a special counsel.  He  singled out a Fox News report last week that Bruce G. Ohr  a senior Justice Department official  was demoted amid an investigation of  his  contacts with Fusion GPS  the opposition research firm that commissioned a salacious dossier documenting Trump's ties to Russia.
âThis is the kind of situation that  in my view  warrants a special counsel â  Sekulow  said.
Asked whether he was speaking on Trump's behalf or whether the president agrees with having a second special counsel   Sekulow  would not answer.  He  said  he  does not speak publicly about  his  conversations with the president.
 Sekulow  works alongside John M. Dowd  another private attorney for the president  and in close collaboration with Ty Cobb  a White House lawyer who handles the Russia portfolio.

SOLUTION: yes

PROBLEM: Verify if the sentiment of the following document towards the entity Oscar Grant is Neutral . The two first joined forces in an indie film turned critical darling called Fruitvale Station  which documented the life of  22-year old Oscar Grant  before he was shot and killed by BART police on New Year's Day in 2009. It was a deeply personal  gut-wrenching look at  Grant's  death  and it gave a face to a polarizing debate about race and authority in America — humanizing one the biggest national discussions of its time.
If you missed Fruitvale  which is highly possible if you're not attuned to Bay Area news or if you don't keep up with film festival darlings  it was Coogler's directorial debut that starred Jordan  Melonie Diaz and Octavia Spencer. The film served as a biopic that centered on the day before  Grant  was shot  shedding light on  his  relationships   his  friends  and  his  past.
The entirety of the movies focuses on the intimate details of  his  life  like  his  relationship with young daughter  or how  he 'd recently lost  his  job. It goes so far as to show how  he  interacts with strangers  like  his  warm conversations about marriage with a couple  he 'd just met  or how  he  runs into the middle of traffic to comfort a dog that'd just been hit by a car.
 Oscar Grant's death in 2009  proved to be one of the biggest moments in the debate about police brutality  race  and authority.  It  sparked sprawling protests throughout Oakland  and became one of the most formative events in that city's recent history. The trial over his death later sparked outrage  some arguing that  it  made Grant's life a political fulcrum  including Coogler.

SOLUTION:
no
