On Monday (Nov. 28), five Connecticut police officers were charged with misdemeanors after a person in their custody became paralyzed during a transport. Officers searched him and found a small amount of marijuana, leading to his arrest. Randy Cox was then placed in the back of a police cruiser, where he was allegedly beaten by the officers.
He was later taken to the hospital, where it was discovered that he had suffered a spinal injury that left him paralyzed from the neck down. The five officers – Darrin Spaulding, Patrick Moynahan, Robert Lawrence, Joshua Lawler and Craig Chandler – have now been charged with misdemeanor counts of second-degree assault and falsifying evidence.

Stan Da Man’s production of “Heat 7,” a collaborative venture between the legendary Method Man and the New York king, proves, without a doubt, that these two continue to deliver some of their most accomplished bars to date:
A video for “Heat 7” featuring WillC and Tana shows Pap and Meth mainly delivering their bars in dark rooms, as different graphics appear behind them, matching the subject matter of the song. During the performance, the songstors can also be seen in a room filled with yellow tape, which is an appropriate setting for the lyrical assault that unfolded.
Meanwhile, Method Man was recently honored for the soundtrack to his smash hit “You’re All I Need” along with his performance on “Power Book II: Ghost.” Meth talked about the experience of collaborating with (and winning alongside) Mary J. Blige:
The feeling of working on something for so long and reaping the rewards is something I have never experienced in my life before. ’95 was the year I won the Grammy for music with Mary J. Blige. Then I got an NAACP award for acting with Mary J. Blige. I couldn’t have asked for anything better.”
