Man gets huge settlement after police beating

A county in California has decided to settle with a man who was trying to get away from police on a horse. Just from the incident, it will cause that county over a half a million dollars. The man with the name of Francis Pusok, had a warrant of identify theft, but when police came to find him, he got on his horse and tried to get away. When he was finally caught by the deputies, they decided to beat the man even after they captured him. The incident didn't just cause injuries to the man, but also the horse. The deputies did much more to the man than just taser him. The helicopter that was following the incident caught on camera them kicking the man 17 times, punching him dozens of times, and hitting him with a baton as well. They called the situation disturbing and they're still going to look further into all of it.

Tiger Woods Daughter putts for him which lead to a problem

Tiger woods was at a competition called a Master Par-3 competition. He had brought his daughter along to get the experience of what it's like, but what he let her do is the shocking part and it really shows the "dad" side of him and how important family is. The 39 year old golfer entered the competition for the first time since 2004. He brought both his daughters along with him. Tiger hit the ball close enough to the hole where all it needed was a putt to knock the ball in. Instead of knocking the ball in himself, he decided to bring his daughter over to the ball and trust his daughter enough to tap the ball in. She made it. Even though Tiger knew he was going to get disqualified, he decided to show people what family is all about and nothing is more important then your family.

What parents in India will go through to get good grades

Images showing parents and family members climbing up school buildings and holding onto windows just so they can pass cheat sheets to their children while they are testing. This all took place Wednesday in the state of Bihar, students were writing their year end 10th grade exams. The school teachers are surprised this could have even happen and its not worth the consequences.  Cheating is supposedly common where they live, but this is far beyond what they've seen. With 1.8 million people, proper schooling may not be capable and that is probably why this is happening.

SCOTUS puts a temporary hold on Texas execution

On Thursday, the Supreme Court put a temporary hold on the execution of a Texas man with the name of Lester Bower, which has been on death row for 30 years. The Court decided to postpone the execution until the justices decide to look more into Lester’s case. Back in 1984 he was convicted in being part of a murder of four men while attempting to steal an ultra light aircraft. The state says that he was "properly convicted and sentenced to die" for the awful murders which consisted of Bobby Tate, Philip Good, Ronald Mayes, and Jerry Brown. His lawyers are of course trying to defend him, saying he did not abuse the legal system. The Court will soon bring up the situation in an upcoming closed door conference.
