Three police officers in Pittsburgh, Penn. were clearedWednesday (Aug. 8), in the vicious beating of a Black man whom they suspected of wrongdoing. A federal court ruled that the three White officers did not maliciously seek out victim, Jordan Miles, who claims to have been stopped by cops for no particular reason. However, eight jurors—most of which were White with the exception of a Black foreman— were not able to reach a decision on whether or not the officers were guilty of false arrest, or using excessive force.
"It's a good win for us," said attorney James Wymard, who represents accused Officer David Sisak.
At the time of the altercation, Miles was an 18-year-old senior at Pittsburgh's performing arts high school and had no criminal record. He was approached by police at around 11 p.m. on Jan. 12, 2010. Police allege that he appeared to be creeping near a neighborhood home, and had in his pocket what they thought was a gun, but turned out to be a soda bottle.
Miles tells a very different story, stating that he was visiting his grandmother's house on the night in question, when the officers rolled up on him and peppered him with questions, including whether or not he had drugs or money. Miles denies having anything in his pockets, while police refute his account of what happened that night.
Although an apparent struggle ensued, Mile maintains that he attempted to get away for fear of getting robbed because the officers never announced that they were police. According to their testimony officers said that Miles elbowed and kicked them, and continued to get away until he was tasered. He was charged with assaulting police, loitering, resisting arrest, and prowling at night.
While the officers were cleared of being malicious, a judge ordered a mistrial on the remaining two counts. "They want to be vindicated on the other two counts," noted Robert Leight, attorney to Officer Richard Ewing who used the stun gun on Miles.
Of course this isn't the first time that police have been let off the hook after attacking, or even killing a civilian. The cops in the case of Oscar Grant—the Bay Area man who was shot and killed at a local BART in 2009, got off with time served, spending less than two years behind bars. Meanwhile, in Houston, a former officer wasfound not guilty for attacking a 15-year-old suspected of committing a burglary.
In Miles' cases, the claim of wrongful arrest must be retried, but the young man's attorney, Timothy O'Brien, has vowed to appeal the original ruling, and may seek civil damages.

No disrespect to Nas, but when it comes to rap crews, Rick Ross and Maybach Music Group have the summer on smash. So it was only right to plaster the ever-growing collective (also including Meek Mill, Wale, Omarion, Stalley and Gunplay) on VIBE’s 2012 Juice issue, celebrating the shooting stars and full-grown supernovas of our culture.
Yet as Wale eases his way into household name status and Meek Mill plans for a DMX-like takeover of the hip-hop and pop charts with his upcoming album Dreams & Nightmares, the question stands: Has Rozay erected something even greater than himself? Jetting between New York and Los Angeles, VIBE Music Editor John Kennedy (@youngjfk) infiltrates Ross’ untouchable empire to study the makeup of hip-hop’s anointed super group.

Could wedding bells be in Kim and Kanye's future sooner than we think?
According to Radar Online, 'Ye has asked a private jeweler to design an engagement ring for girlfriend Kim Kardashian by using diamonds and rubies from his late mom Donda’s personal jewelry collection.
“Kanye picked out some of Donda’s most expensive pieces, including some diamond earrings and a ruby ring,” a source close to the rapper said.
“Donda was such an important person in Kanye’s life, he thought the world of her and was devastated when she died. So, he kept all her jewelry as keepsakes - a lot of the pieces were items he bought over the years after he made it as a hip-hop star," the source continued.
“And now, Kanye has found a woman he respects and loves just as much as his mom, so he wants to share her jewelry collection with Kim."
But it seems that there is some trouble in paradise. The source says Yeezy's friends do not condone his lavish ways.
“His friends think it’s a terrible idea and are advising him not to give Kim the ring,” the source says. “Because it’s a gift, it would be difficult for Kanye to ask for it back if they ever split up." The source added that friends say the 'Keeping Up With The Kardashians' star earns her money through endorsements and reality television, an image they feel Donda should not be associated with.
The source revealed that the "Way Too Cold" emcee plans to get down on one knee once Kim's divorce with ex-husband and basketball star Kris Humphries is finalized.
Sources also say not only has the G.O.O.D. Music leader considered the wedding bling and proposal, West even has two locations in mind.
"Oklahoma is his personal choice because his mother’s grave is there – and he wants her at his wedding in spirit," the source said. "But he hasn’t ruled out Chicago, which he credits for giving him inspiration for building his glittering career.”
