On the morning of Nov. 17, 2024, Nyota Koya, a 66-year-old Black woman from Roseville, lost consciousness during an encounter with a Sacramento police officer named Matthew Sterling. She died a week later without ever regaining consciousness. Nearly two years later, the Sacramento Police Department still has not told her daughter and the public whether it disciplined the officer. Now Koya's daughter is left to seek damages through a lawsuit. Koya had been stranded in a parking lot at Haggin Oaks Golf Course near the eastern border of the city of Sacramento after her electric car's battery died, according to court documents. Responding to a report of trespassing, Sterling approached her just before 10 a.m. He offered to take her to a shelter and have her car towed. A second officer was with Sterling initially but left the scene for a time. More than two hours later, with her removal from the property still unresolved, Sterling forcibly pulled Koya from the car at 12:22 p.m., according to body camera footage provided to The Sacramento Bee by Koya's daughter's legal team. The second officer eventually returned to the scene. He is not named as a defendant in the lawsuit. Sterling then pushed her face down to the asphalt, placed his knee on her back, and handcuffed her, the footage shows. At 12:35 p.m., paramedics arrived and reported that she didn't have a pulse before taking her to Mercy San Juan Medical Center, where she died on Nov. 24, 2024. The lawsuit includes two body-camera screenshots showing Sterling, who like Koya is Black, smiling as he kneels over her. She is lying on her side on the asphalt, wearing a bathrobe, her gray hair in a bun, with her hands cuffed behind her back. When seen on the body-cam video, the smiling moment happens quickly. The exchanges Koya had with Sterling before she lost consciousness form the basis of the civil lawsuit that names the city of Sacramento, the Sacramento Police Department, Sterling and Police Chief Katherine Lester as defendants. Brought by Koya's estate and daughter Nathifa Wright, it's being heard at Sacramento's United States District Court and seeks damages for 17 claims, including false detention, excessive force and wrongful death. The case is assigned to United States Magistrate Judge Chi Soo Kim. ]]> Tue 27 Oct 2026 13:06:17 +0200 https://theworldwatch.com/videos/1621110/a-sacramento-officer-restrained-black-woman-he-smiled-she-died-lawsuit/ https://theworldwatch.com/videos/1620050/hall-of-famer-warren-sapp-files-federal-lawsuit-against-tampa-over-city-hall-incident/
TAMPA, Fla. - Pro Football Hall of Famer Warren Sapp filed a federal civil rights lawsuit against Tampa after police removed him from City Hall during a city council meeting on Sept. 17. In the lawsuit, Pro Football Hall of Famer Warren Sapp alleged he went to Tampa City Hall on Sept. 17 to obtain paperwork. While he was inside, he claims, city officials escalated an encounter into a confrontation in an office adjacent to the council chambers, interrupting the public meeting. Council Chair Alan Clendenin called a recess, declared disruptive individuals out of order, and ordered the room locked until police resolved the issue. Tampa police officers responded and asked Sapp to leave City Hall. The lawsuit states that Sapp was trespassed for the day but never arrested, which his legal representation claims is significant. In the lawsuit, Sapp asserts that he possessed the right to speak, petition the government, seek information from government officials, and attend public government proceedings without facing retaliation. The lawsuit emphasizes that officers did not arrest Sapp during the removal, citing the lack of criminal charges as evidence that the city's exclusion order was an unconstitutional response to his presence. It is not known what specific paperwork Sapp was attempting to retrieve when this happened. Tampa officials have not released details regarding their internal account of the interaction, as the city does not comment on pending litigation. ]]> Thu 24 Sep 2026 15:33:07 +0200 https://theworldwatch.com/videos/1620050/hall-of-famer-warren-sapp-files-federal-lawsuit-against-tampa-over-city-hall-incident/ https://theworldwatch.com/videos/1618416/woman-hit-by-a-bat-flung-into-the-crowd-is-suing-the-new-york-yankees-for-10-million/

BOMBSHELL: Turning Point USA Accused of Moonies-Style CULT Tactics to Swipe $25M from DYING Grandpa – LAWSUIT FILED! A lawsuit filed in Dec 2024 accuses Turning Point USA and YAF of elder abuse and undue influence to steal a $25 MILLION fortune from a 95-year-old man with cognitive decline! Alton Jennings died in March 2024. His caregiver (Mitch Manley Sr.) allegedly isolated him from family starting in 2021. Manley's son worked for TPUSA on Charlie Kirk's show. Then, just 4 months before death, the will changed—leaving half the estate to Turning Point Action and YAF. Candace compares it to the Moonies cult playbook (like the one behind Shinzo Abe's assassination): prey on the vulnerable, isolate them, and grab their money for the "cause." In the wake of Charlie Kirk's assassination, she asks: What has this organization become? ]]> Wed 14 Jan 2026 10:14:00 +0200 https://theworldwatch.com/videos/1609631/tpusa-accused-of-moonies-style-cult-tactics-to-swipe-25m-from-dying-grandpa/
