Video: Trump bans transgenders in the military

Thu, 27 Jul 2017 02:08:43 +0000

Today, President Donald Trump announced a ban on transgender people serving in the military on Twitter. This policy will affect thousands of transgender troops in the military. Some local residents are speaking out about Trump’s decision. It’s a series of tweets shaking the LGBTQ community. President Donald Trump stating that the United States Government will not allow or accept transgender people to serve in the military. His argument: “the military cannot be burdened with the tremendous medical costs and disruption that transgenders in the military would entail.” This comes after former President Barack Obama who just one year ago lifted the ban on transgender military service. Not only did this cause some controversy in Washington, but also here on the Coast. Kiln resident Paul Gebeline said, “I think transgender people can fight just as well as anybody else. I don’t see why they should be denied service just because they were born in the wrong body, you know?” Even among Trump supporters. Gulfport resident Taffa Allen said, “I don’t think anybody should be banned from the military depending on their sex, religion, or anything. They just need to get over that part. I love Trump, but that part right there doesn’t bother me at all.” However, viewers on our News 25 Facebook page agree with Trump’s announcement. Some saying it’s common sense to keep them out of the military. One transgender woman who is also an Air Force veteran is now worried for active transgendered military people getting kicked out of the military. Molly Kester with Mississippi Rainbow Center said, “It gives people kind of a reason to discriminate against people. If they’re not worthy of serving in our military then why would they be worthy of someone accepting them for who they are. It’s got a bigger range of an issue than just being not serving in the military because you technically can’t ban us from serving in the military because most of us serve without anybody even knowing we’re transgender. I did 20 years in the military before coming out.” The Pentagon and White House have not released any information on how or when they would begin implementing the new ban. For now, it’s just a tweet from the Commander in Chief.

Video: Man supporting flag outside Biloxi City Hall

Wed, 26 Jul 2017 02:04:03 +0000

One man was outside Biloxi City Hall protesting the removal of the Mississippi State flag, his way of supporting the flag and declaring this week as State Pride Awareness Week. Matt Reardon came down from Hattiesburg to Biloxi to address Mayor FoFo Gilich about not flying the state flag at City Hall. Biloxi is one of several cities that have decided against flying the state flag. During today’s protest, Reardon tried making his way into FoFo’s office, but was denied entry for not having an appointment. “He’s turned his back on the board of alderman as well as the citizens and has put the ultimate decision in the hands of Attorney General Jim Hood.” City of Biloxi Public Affairs Manager Vincent Creel said, “We don’t want to have a flag that disenfranchises a considerable section of population. You want a flag that everybody’s going to rally around, this is not the flag. So, accordingly, we still do not fly it in the City of Biloxi facilities.” According to Reardon, he has an appointment set up with Mayor Gilich Wednesday afternoon. He says he also plans to travel across the state for the next six months in support of the state flag.

Video: Traffic Stop Etiquette for Driver's Education

Fri, 14 Jul 2017 11:24:07 +0000

SPRINGFIELD -- Driver's Education teaches young drivers many things during courses, but HB-785 aims to improve relations between police and drivers during a traffic stop. On her last day of driver's education, 16 year-old Georgia Phillips is looking forward to doing things on her own. "I'm excited about not having to go with a parent and being able to get McDonalds when I want to," Georgia says. She knows to pull over for emergency vehicles, but one thing she has not covered in class, is how to behave when she is pulled over by police - something she has rarely experienced. When asked if she had ever been in the car for a traffic stop, Georgia replied, "I think I have when I was younger, but not since I've started driving." HB-785, proposed by Representative Gretchen Bangert of St. Louis, would make traffic stop behavior mandatory for driver's education. Daphne Greenlee works with the Driver's Education program at the Mercy Injury Prevention Center. She says that while they do cover what to do when an emergency vehicle passes, they do not focus on how students should interact with police. "It's not something that we spend alot of time on, if you get pulled over, what to do at that point. and so it's definitely an area that we could see being beneficial to our students to take the time to learn that information," Greenlee says. Corporal Joe Daugherty is a 7-year veteran with the Nixa Police Department. He has advice for young drivers when they are pulled over. "With any traffic stop that we do, until we get up there, it's mostly unknown what is going on in that vehicle," Cpl. Daugherty explains. "If you follow instructions, don't make any quick movements, and you let them know what you are doing, it should be a pretty boring incident." Nixa Police made it clear they do not a have a stance on this bill. Representative Bangert tells KOLR10 it will be introduced in the Missouri House at the next session in January. Until then, young drivers can educate themselves on the do's and dont's of a traffic stop at this link to the Missouri Highway Patrol Website.

Video: Gator attack in Hancock County caught on video

Thu, 06 Jul 2017 22:36:15 +0000

It was a situation that could have turned deadly when an alligator attack sent one man to the hospital in Hancock County. News 25 was sent video of the encounter. The content you’re about to see is graphic. Viewer discretion is advised. This alligator attack caught on camera in Hancock County was filmed while authorities were trying to relocate the creature off Highway 603. During the process, a man was bitten and taken to the hospital. A local expert says it could have been a fatal encounter if the man wasn’t able to escape the alligator’s mouth. Gulf Coast Gator Ranch Owner Allan Adams said, “They got 220 pounds per square inch of biting power. So, generally if they get a good bite they’re going to crush bone and all. They could actually tear your arm clean off.” Hancock County deputies tell News 25 the highway temporarily shut down by Bayou Lacroix Bridge as they tried to relocate the gator. Adams says the bayou must have flooded during the storms a couple weeks ago, causing the gator to crawl out. “We have all this rain and all this water. It displaces the alligators so they’re able to get to places they haven’t gotten before.” Authorities say the man bitten experienced no life threatening injuries. Adams tells News 25 there are a few scenarios increasing the risk. “If you happen to be in their territory, around a female’s nest, the female will protect her nest and that’s one time she can be pretty vicious.” According to the Hancock County Sheriff’s Department, the alligator was about ten feet long, weighing several hundred pounds. The size is just above average for a typical wild alligator. The good news is an alligator attack like this is rare in South Mississippi. “You have a better chance of getting struck by lightning than getting bit by an alligator. You really have to put yourself in a bad position to get bit by an alligator,” said Adams.
