Report: British intelligence has identified Foley's killer

There much fake stuff Internet given week we’ve grown tired debunking all. Fake Twitter fights. Fake DHL ads. Amazing viral video? Nope — Jimmy Kimmel stunt! So, rather take every undeservedly viral story crosses monitors week, we’re rounding quick, once-a-week Friday debunk fake photos, misleading headlines bad studies probably shouldn’t share weekend. Ready? Here’s fake Internet week: 1. The Nobel Committee doesn’t “regret” giving President Obama Peace Prize. According invented “news release” uploaded Scribd prominent blogger anti-war activist David Swanson, Nobel Institute can’t retract Obama’s 2009 Peace Prize — wishes could. “It remains obligation Committee disassociate actions taken laureates frustrate rather advancing [sic] fraternity nations,” statement reads. (Pro-tip: International organizations rarely make glaring grammatical errors major statements.) “The Committee therefore joins public statements several Nobel Peace Laureates expressing regrets conduct 2009 prize recipient.” The announcement since picked number right-wing outlets, including Before It’s News. The problem, course: It isn’t true. Dear Internet: The Nobel committee ″regrets” giving Obama 2009 peace prize story bogus. I spoke head institute 2. There no-such thing “pumpkin-spice-flavored condom.” Though considering social media response idea, enterprising company may want give try. A Photoshopped image “limited edition” Durex condom circulated widely Twitter Facebook last week punny statement Durex punctured hoax: “We can’t claim one,” company said, “but love people spice bedroom.” Har har. In unrelated pumpkin-spice news, limited-edition Oreos flavor apparently quite real. We’ve officially reached Pumpkin Spice saturation point. pic.twitter.com/Tve77ov5JZ 3. No one expects “record-shattering snowfall” year. That claim — like many others! — comes unfunny “satirists” EmpireNews.net, increasingly least favorite fake-news site generally unfavorable field. According story accompanying map, meteorologists expected “above normal snowfall” huge swaths United States, including entire mid-Atlantic coast. Like everything else Empire News, course, map fake. Moreover, it’s difficult predict seasonal weather patterns National Oceanic Atmospheric Administration doesn’t bust November, Climate Prediction Center College Park, Md., told Baltimore Sun virtually idea snow look like three long months now. #InOtherNews I read report meteorologist said ″record shattering snowfall” winter. Lord Jesus. 4. “Male birth control” probably 2017. A number outlets gleefully proclaimed news “male birth control” injection, called Vasalgel, would hitting world’s bedrooms within three years. Alas, would seem suggest Vasalgel proven work humans, it’s already approved Food Drug Administration — neither things true. “The news came press release — call donations! — foundation behind Vasalgel,” Julia Belluz explained Vox, “highlighting promising (though again, unpublished, anecdotal findings) testing baboons.” Bottom line: It’s great someone’s working male birth control, it’s highly unlikely particular product reach U.S. market 2017. 5. There shooting California Marine Corps base. An anonymous Facebook page sparked all-out panic base north San Diego Thursday night posted shooter active military installation “ALL MARINES HAVE BEEN INSTRUCTED TO LOCK THEMSELVES INSIDE OF THEIR ROOMS.” The page stupidly followed prank post number “updates” situation, liked shared hundreds times. Base police told Business Insider evidence shooting: People “saw social media networks started telling friends,” one dispatcher said. “It’s rumor, it’s hearsay.” Possible shooter Camp Pendleton!? Anybody hear anything?? 6. Shakira dead. The singer’s hips don’t lie, Internet does. Constantly. A hoax e-mail bearing logo Mexican newspaper El Universal claimed Shakira died car accident Colombia last week, attached Word document contained “exclusive images details” scene. Colombia’s Informador reports e-mail may actually contained virus phishing scam. As Shakira, she’s alive well expecting second child boyfriend Gerard Pique. 7. British Muslims trying outlaw beloved children’s TV show. A comedian going name Zayn Sheikh outraged many Brits (and fooled number news outlets, British otherwise) YouTube video demanded TV show “Peppa Pig” go air suggested national campaign would soon organize purpose. Peppa Pig beloved, alliterative British cartoon character — also “haram,” forbidden Muslims, Sheikh claimed. Over weekend, Sheikh posted second video admitting whole thing hoax — hoax cause. “This video served show much Islamophobia around, deny existence,” wrote. “It sad live society feel Muslims rights talk all.” 8. Obama “resign amid new Benghazi revelations.” Every word headline dream come true president’s conspiracy-minded opponents, perhaps explains fake article, fake-article-generator National Report, went viral circles.

Jeny Chang BuzzFeed / Via Drug Policy Alliance data NEW YORK CITY — The New York Police Department longer arrest people low-level marijuana possession, according people knowledge city’s drug strategy spoke condition anonymity. The NYPD issue violation summonses people caught marijuana — instead putting handcuffs taking precinct. The summonses require people appear court later date pay fine. Few details new policy immediately available, official one city’s five district attorneys offices confirmed BuzzFeed News Monday change “is happening.” The official added “burning marijuana” would still cause arrest, drug public place would not. The NYPD Mayor Bill de Blasio’s office immediately respond requests comment, expected officially announce new policy news conference Monday. Manhattan District Attorney Cyrus Vance said Monday supported change two years ago still does. “This policy – diverting thousands cases criminal court – also keep low-level offenders, particularly teens, arrest attendant consequences, including night jail,” said. The new policy, first reported New York Times, would bring sea change way city policed. Misdemeanor-level marijuana possession accounts large percentage city’s arrests, vast majority happen young black Latino men living poor neighborhoods. Some public defenders praised policy. “This huge improvement,” Lisa Schreibersdorf, executive director Brooklyn Defender Services, told BuzzFeed News. “Summonses don’t get fingerprinted. This better people vulnerable collateral consequences, like immigrants.” Still, Schreibersdorf cautioned policy fulfill goal unless NYPD relaxes identification requirements summonses. Immigrants teenagers often carry valid identification, said, often means cannot processed summons. She added policy address root cause problem — namely, police officers New York routinely stop people without probable cause. “Having summonses improvement people already stopped, doesn’t mean stopped first place,” said. “The problem, perspective, stopping people without cause unconstitutional.” Advocates also warned new policy could result increased number arrest warrants, issued people fail show court summons. As New York Times reported, quarter people issued summons fail appear court appointments. As consequence, currently 1.2 million open bench warrants New York City — one per every eight residents. Possession less 25 grams marijuana crime New York State since 1977. The NYPD made 59,000 arrests misdemeanor possession 2010. Under current law, way get arrested charged misdemeanor less 25 grams marijuana display “in public view.” The legal definition term, however, ambiguous. “Public view” mean smoking pot public place, also mean police officer stopped you, frisked you, pulled small bag marijuana pocket. When bag leaves pocket, technically entered public view, officer legally arrest charge misdemeanor — even though less decriminalized amount. This broad interpretation “public view” helped low-level marijuana possession become one NYPD’s commonly used arrest charges stop-and-frisks. The correlation marijuana arrests stop-and-frisk became apparent 2011, U.S. District Court declared policing tactic unconstitutional form racial profiling. By 2013, NYPD making 28,000 marijuana possession arrests — still large number, 47% less 2010. A recent study nonprofit Drug Policy Alliance found upwards 86% low-level marijuana arrests made 2014 affected black people Latinos — even though national studies shown white people likely smoke marijuana regularly, slightly likely tried it. The report also found geography arrests highly segregated, dominantly white neighborhoods seeing fewer arrests neighborhoods color similar per-capita incomes. These stark race class disparities drug law enforcement became sore point Mayor de Blasio, candidate promised end discriminatory policing. They also drove Ken Thompson, Brooklyn district attorney, announce July office would longer prosecute low-level marijuana possession, opting instead dismiss cases. Still, NYPD defended high number arrests, Willam Bratton, de Blasio’s police commissioner, saying Thompson’s decision would affect NYPD’s approach marijuana possession. The policy announced Monday mark first time current administration take concerted action address disparities marijuana arrests. In interview New York Times, Thompson said worried new policy could harm intended help removing prosecutors picture. This prosecutor opt dismiss misdemeanor, cannot violation. But new report Vera Institute shows, prosecutorial review cut ways. The Institute analyzed data provided Manhattan District Attorney found black people Latinos “much likely receive sentence offer including jail prison term” white defendants similar circumstances. In case misdemeanor marijuana possession, Vera report found, black people arraigned Manhattan 19% likely receive jail prison time people ethnicities. By contrast, defendants arrested Brooklyn could expect cases dismissed. The new policy expected standardize procedures across city. More details new policy expected soon. De Blasio Bratton scheduled make announcement together Monday 3 p.m. This developing story. Check back updates follow BuzzFeed News Twitter.
