A Minnesota woman fed live video onto social media showing the aftermath of the police shooting of her boyfriend.  A white cop outside the lesser of the twin cities Saint Paul fired four shots into the chest of Philando Castle, a beloved school cafeteria worker, in full view of his girlfriend Diamond Reynolds and her four-year old daughter.  They were sitting in their stalled car at the side of the road awaiting assistance.  Mr. Castle informed the cop that he had a weapon and a license to carry it; when he tried to produce that license, the cop opened fire.  This follows the police murder of Alton Sterling, gunned down at point blank range in Baton Rouge, Louisiana on Tuesday.

US President Barack Obama went on social media to say that all Americans "should be deeply troubled" by the two fatal shootings.  Minnesota Governor Mark Dayton later requested a federal investigation into the shooting.  Mr Castile's mother, Valerie Castile, said there was "a silent war against African-American people" in America. 

Police in Italy arrested a fascist thug for the murder of a Nigerian man who was defending his wife from racist abuse.  Emmanuel Chidi Namdi had come to Italy to escape Boko Haram's reign of terror in his native Nigeria.  35-year old Amedeo Mancini is described as a local football "ultra" in the town of Fermo, in central Italy.  Police say Mancini dragged Mr. Namdi's wife by the hair, and beat him with a sign port ripped up from the ground. 

Germany has tightened its law against the crime of rape, although it appears this only happened over the fear of refugees.  The legislation tightens the rules on consent - "No means No", or "Nein Heisst Nein" - and makes it easier to deport foreign nationals who are convicted of committing sex crimes.  "The change in the law will help increase the number of victims who choose to press charges, lower the number of criminal prosecutions that are shelved and ensure sexual assaults are properly punished," said Germany’s minister for women, Manuela Schwesig.   Germany long had Europe's weakest laws on the subject, but a series of sex assaults at Cologne's main train station on New Year's Eve that were attributed to foreigners galvanized public opinion.
