	Half of blacks say police have treated them unfairly By JESSE J. HOLLAND4 hours ago FILE - In this May 19, 2015 file photo, Milwaukee, Wis. County Sheriff David Clarke Jr. testifies on Capitol Hill in Washington. A majority of blacks in the U.S., more than three out of five, say they or a family member have personal experience with being treated unfairly by the police, and their race is the reason why. (AP Photo/Jacquelyn Martin, File) View Gallery WASHINGTON (AP) — A majority of blacks in the United States — more than 3 out of 5 — say they or a family member have personal experience with being treated unfairly by the police, and their race is the reason why. This information, from a survey conducted by the Associated Press-NORC Center for Public Affairs Research, comes as the Michael Brown shooting in Ferguson, Missouri, approaches its first anniversary and the nation continues to grapple with police-related deaths of black Americans. African-Americans said they felt especially targeted by the police. Half of black respondents, including 6 in 10 black men, said they personally had been treated unfairly by police because of their race, compared to 3 percent of whites. Another 15 percent said they knew of a family member who had been treated unfairly by the police because of their race. White Americans who live in more diverse communities — those where census data show at least 25 percent of the population is non-white — were more likely than other whites to say police in their communities sometimes treat minorities more roughly, 58 percent to 42 percent. And they're more likely to see the police as too quick to use deadly force, 42 percent to 29 percent. Larry Washington, 30, of Merriville, Indiana, described his encounter with a white police officer when he was arrested for theft in Burbank, Illinois, as a teenager. "When I got to the police station, the officer who arrested me told me that I looked like I wanted to do something about it," Washington said, adding, "And he kept calling me 'nigger.'" "It's been like this for a long time," Washington said. "It's just now that everybody starting to record it and stuff, it's just hitting the spotlight. Most Caucasians, they think it's just starting to go on when it's been like this." View gallery Graphic shows AP-NORC Poll on police treatment of the public based on race; 2c x 6 inches; 96.3 mm x … The AP-NORC poll shows stark differences between whites and blacks when it came to attitudes toward law enforcement: —More than two-thirds of blacks — 71 percent — thought police are treated too leniently by the criminal justice system when they hurt or kill people. A third of whites say police are getting away with it, while nearly half — 46 percent — say the police are treated fairly by the criminal justice system. —When asked why police violence happens, 62 percent of whites said a major reason is that civilians confront the police, rather than cooperate, when they are stopped. Three out of 4 blacks, or 75 percent, said it is because the consequences of police misconduct are minimal, and few officers are prosecuted for excessive use of force. More than 7 in 10 blacks identified problems with race relations, along with poor relations between police and the public that they serve, as major reasons for police violence. —Whites and blacks disagreed over whether police are more likely to use deadly force against blacks. Nearly 3 out of 4 whites — 74 percent — thought race had nothing to do with how police in their communities decide to use deadly force. Among blacks, 71 percent thought police were more likely to use deadly force against black people in their communities, and 85 percent said the same thing applied generally across the country. Fifty-eight percent of whites thought race had nothing to do with police decisions in most communities on use of deadly force. Seventy-two percent of whites said they always or often trust police to do what is right for them and their community, while 66 percent of blacks said they only sometimes, rarely or never trust the police to do what is right. View gallery FILE - In this April 23, 2015 file photo, Lesley McSpadden, the mother of Michael Brown, wears a swe … David A. Clarke Jr, who is sheriff in Milwaukee County, Wisconsin, said African-Americans have more encounters with police than whites because of crime rates in urban areas. "If you have more interaction with the police because of the crime and the disorder in our urban centers — the American ghetto I like to say it — it's going to skew the numbers," Clarke said. David Thomas, 80, of Vienna, Georgia, recalled being treated roughly when stopped by police as a young man in Savannah, Georgia. He said relations between black communities and law enforcement have improved since then. "Everything is not right, but it's better," Thomas said. "We have bad cops and we have good cops. I don't know where we're going to from here, but we need police." The AP-NORC Poll of 1,223 adults, including 311 black adults, was conducted online and by phone July 17-July 19, using a sample drawn from NORC's probability-based AmeriSpeak panel, which is designed to be representative of the U.S. population. The margin of sampling error for all respondents is plus or minus 4.2 percentage points. For results among black respondents, the margin of error is plus or minus 9.1 percentage points. Respondents were first selected randomly using address-based sampling methods, and later interviewed online. People selected for Amerispeak who didn't otherwise have access to the Internet were interviewed over the phone. ___ AP News Survey Specialist Emily Swanson contributed to this report. ___ Online: AP-NORC Center: http://www.apnorc.org/ Jesse J.

Hi Joyce,* For those that watched that tragedy unfold there were many red flags that went up. Fema trailers were sitting in a field waiting to be occupied. The woman in the wheelchair that died and her wheelchair was turned to face the wall so people would not have to look at her. Truck loads of food went bad waiting for authorization from the government to distribute the food to hungry people. dead bodies could be seen floating in the water, often times the same bodies were seen several different times. Families were displaced to different states with no regards to making sure that families were together. Often, the parents would be sent to Texas and children to Indiana or other host states. Even though it was determined that the levys would not hold through a category five hurricane, a few well placed sticks of dynamite would ensure that they would rupture in the proper locations. It is sad, but I believe that governments welcome tragedies like hurricanes, Volcanoes, wildfires, and other acts of nature to help in the elimination of the lower class around the world.

	"Do you remember who was President of the United States when Katrina hit?" I remember it all very well. The responders tried to separate families to leave -I refused to leave my husband and refused to allow anyone in my group be separated so they gave in and just took people into the ambulances together. When we got into them the drivers did not know where we were going, some went to airports or bus stations etc with no known destination. We were sent by carrier plane to San Antonio, Texas. We were treated very well when we got there. The red cross provided phones to reach out to family and also set up internet data bases so people could find displaced citizens. The response after we got out was outstanding in stark contrast to what had been happening before hand. I saw a lot of strange things going on that made no practical sense including helicopters full of soldiers with guns and ammunition flown in by the dozens when food and water should have been. Gov. Kathleen Blanco to her credit got a lot of seriously ill people and their caretakers onto those helicopters to leave since that was not happening. Before she got there nurses were taken away from their patients with no plan for these people to get care when they got off. General Russell Honore had to order soldiers "not to point guns at citizens" in the superdome as they had been circling it with guns pointed towards them not allowing them to leave. People were "escaping" the dome by crawling under barriers. Vans with food rations drove around the dome for hours before getting in there to the people who needed it.

Typhoon takes aim at Taiwan, China

John Bacon and Doyle Rice, USA TODAY9:07 a.m. EDT August 5, 2015

Southeast Asia braces for what could be a devastating blow from the super typhoon. USA TODAY science reporter Doyle Rice tells us what we can expect from the most powerful storm of 2015.USA TODAY

Typhoon Soudelor hit Saipan, one of the Northern Mariana Islands, with winds of 105 mph late Sunday and early Monday.

Food, water, cots, generators and other federal emergency supplies were rushed Tuesday from Hawaii and Guam to help Saipan after Typhoon Soudelor blasted through the tiny U.S. island in the Western Pacific.

After hitting the island, the typhoon strengthened into the Earth’s most powerful storm of 2015 — equivalent to a Category 5 hurricane, with sustained winds of 180 mph — as it continued Monday across the Pacific Ocean. By Tuesday evening Soudelor was downgraded from a super typhoon with winds around 130 mph, and gusts of 161 mph — equal to a Category 4 storm, theJoint Typhoon Warning Center said.

The typhoon was taking aim at Taiwan, China and some of Japan's southern islands, though it's expected to weaken even further by the time it reaches land, the center said.

"There is growing concern that Taiwan and the southern Ryukyu Islands will have to contend with Soudelor as early as Thursday night or Friday with impacts lasting into early next week across eastern China," AccuWeather meteorologist Eric Leister said.

The latest forecast from the typhoon center shows the storm making landfall in Taiwan Friday with winds estimated at 144 mph, equivalent to a Category 4 hurricane.

Across the mountainous terrain of northern and western Taiwan, more than 20 inches of rain is likely, possibly triggering mudslides and flash floods, AccuWeather said.

The storm slammed into Saipan, one of the Northern Mariana Islands, a 48,000-population U.S. commonwealth, with winds of 105 mph late Sunday and early Monday. It flooded the island’s power plant, ripped off roofs and toppled power poles, the Pacific Daily News in Guam reported. Hundreds of Saipan residents are in shelters. Some roads remain impassable, and power and water service are out.

No fatalities were reported, but at least 10 people were treated at government hospital for injuries, including wounds and deep cuts, from falling or flying debris. Acting Gov. Ralph D.L.G. Torres declared a state of disaster there.

"Most power and phone lines are down with no power or landline service to most of the island," Philip Dauterman told the Pacific Daily News. He estimated it could take months for power to be restored across the island.

At its peak, Soudelor (SOW-de-lore) was the strongest storm anywhere on the planet so far this year. Typhoons are the Western Pacific's version of hurricanes. Soudelor is a Pohnpeian word for a legendary chief or ruler, according to the National Weather Service. Pohnpeian is a language spoken on the island of Pohnpei in the Caroline Islands.
