WINSTON-SALEM, N.C. — Local sheriffs and police chiefs worry about 
the trust issues people will have with their officers after what 
happened in Minnesota.





These leaders expressed anger and frustration over the officer’s 
actions and reassured the community of the biased-based training local 
law enforcement is given.





For Winston-Salem Police Chief Catrina Thompson and Forsyth County 
Sheriff Bobby Kimbrough, the death of George Floyd hit them personally 
and professionally.





Now they’re working to regain trust and repeat their belief in 
transparency. The conversations they are having are also happening in 
homes.





So how do we process images and videos of people being killed on social media and TV?





“People seeing images, the same images, over and over and over, 
that’s also going to have a psychological effect on the individual,” 
said Andy Hagler, with the Mental Health Association in Forsyth County.





This video is what triggered so much emotion from many Americans including the people out protecting the public every day.





For Kimbrough, the interaction between Floyd and officers makes him reflect on his sons.





He admits he’s had to have conversations with them about what to do differently as a black man when an officer stops them.





“Dead men tell no lies. They don’t tell no stories. They say nothing.
 What I want you to do is survive that stop,” Kimbrough said.





So how do people go about understanding the trauma so many Americans are feeling right now?





“Trauma is of coarse, seeing things that are catastrophic. But trauma
 is also in the eye of the beholder,” Hagler said. “So, incidents or 
situations that might be traumatic for me, may not be traumatic for you 
and vice versa.” 





Hagler said it comes down to having tough conversations with people inside and outside of your circle.





“Taking these situations and creating community dialogue, community 
conversations, having open and honest discussions,” Hagler said.





The police chief and sheriff both stated how officers handled things in Minneapolis would not be tolerated here.





“We teach and require that our employees, both sworn and non-sworn, 
treat people with respect dignity and compassion. That is the 
expectation,” Thompson said.





Kimbrough said his deputies were in a training course on Friday.





“We have ongoing training. While we are sitting here right now, 
there’s a classroom upstairs going through training right now,” he said.
 





Kimbrough believes his office has created community credibility within the Winston-Salem community.

Tom Needs Our Prayers As His Health Is Failing Him

By
  Rumors are abounding that Tom Selleck’s health is becoming a problem, to the point that the show may be cancelled before its 7th season.. American actor and film producer. He is known for starring as private investigator Thomas Magnum in the television series Magnum, Reports from friends and colleagues of Tom Selleck say that the former action star is tortured daily while on the set of his hit TV show “Blue Bloods,” by his chronic rheumatoid arthritis. “Tom’s days as the car-jumping-scuba-diving-action star are a thing of the past,” one of his costars said. “He hates that his arthritis slows him down. Like most stars, there’s a stunt double for dangerous action shots, but Tom even uses the guy for simple scenes, like getting in and out of his police car. His arthritis bothers him more some days than others. But Tom’s an old-school, true professional, so he never com­plains about the pain.” Now, some in Tom’s family fear that the treatment that the actor is taking for arthritis, which

Tom Selleck is tortured daily because of his long-term disease, his friends say

By
If rumors are to be believed, fans of the 'man behind the mustache' might have considerable cause for alarm over the actor's health. Several articles have recently made the rounds, all with the same premise: Hollywood heartthrob, Tom Selleck is facing rapidly declining health as he suffers from a debilitating bout of arthritis. One such source to lay claim to Selleck's failing health is Ghanamma.com, whose information is supported by The Nation, an online newspaper. Both sources state that Selleck's arthritis is becoming increasingly painful and hindering, to the point where he can no longer do his own stunts. More than that, however, the publications reported that Selleck uses a stunt double not only for demanding, challenging scenes, but also for the more trivial, mundane tasks, such as simply climbing out of his police vehicle on set while filming Blue Bloods. Some days are worse than others for the former action star, unnamed sources said, claiming tha
