Warning signs appear on Mexican beach declaring area restricted by U.S. as Mexico rejects Trump offer to strike cartels
The signs read in English and Spanish, "Warning: Restricted Area," and had been declared restricted by "the commander."

Man in GA tased 15 times in 15 minutes, for walking while black, died on the side of the road. He was stopped for trespassing because he wanted some water to fill up his coke bottle. I hope these deputies go to prison for a very long time.
