A Staten Island man died Thursday after a New York Police Department officer put him in a chokehold. The incident was captured on video by a bystander and obtained by the The New York Daily News.
When Caucasian retired pastor Charles Moore (pictured) set himself on fire on June 23 at a Grand Saline, Texas, step mall parking lot, he was reportedly prayerful that his act of suicide did not go in vain. Moore, who had dedicated his life to fighting against racism, left behind a suicide note that reportedly states he has decided to kill himself because he was haunted by the yester-year lynchings of African Americans and wanted his death to inspire social reform, according to the New York Daily News.
The man, who has not been identified, told a 911 dispatcher that he had beaten Raymond Frolander (pictured), who he found abusing his son at their Florida home, into a 'bloody puddle'.
