Americans for Responsible Solutions” is a recently established foundation  dedicated to bringing awareness to our country’s(USA) increasing gun violence. Through their tireless effort to advocate for gun control in Congress, the foundators speak boldly about the deadly realities of gun violence while urging Congress to act immediately. The use of strong black and white photography, contrasted against a pool of red blood, along with bold typography gives justification to the seriousness of these issues. The result is a thought-provoking awareness of the actions that need to be taken so that no more lives are lost.

Staten Island, NY - Accused of beating a pregnant woman in the stomach and causing her to miscarry, four NYPD officers have recently been sued for violating her constitutional rights, false arrest, and excessive force. Although the woman initially informed the cops that she was pregnant, the officers allegedly struck her before throwing her to the ground and stomping on her stomach.

According to the recently filed lawsuit, NYPD officers arrived at Emelda Fitzroy's house at 1:45 p.m. on November 2, 2014. Although the civil complaint does not mention why the police went to her home, Fitzroy asserts that she told the officers that she was pregnant before they "forcibly grabbed" her and arrested her "without any legal justification."

After striking her in the stomach, officers reportedly threw Fitzroy to the ground before stomping on her. Arrested on felony and misdemeanor charges of assault, misdemeanor counts of resisting arrest and obstructing governmental administration, and lesser counts of harassment, Fitzroy was incarcerated for 26 hours and later miscarried her baby "as the result of the injuries she sustained" at the hands of the police.

On January 26, all of the charges against Fitzroy were dropped according to the complaint. Her lawsuit alleges the NYPD committed deprivation of civil rights, use of excessive force, false arrest, unlawful search and seizure, and common-law assault and battery. Due to the fact that the lawsuit is still pending, the NYPD has refused to comment on the case.

This is not the first case in which the NYPD has been accused of assaulting an unarmed pregnant woman. On September 23, 2014, a video was posted on Facebook depicting NYPD cops repeatedly throwing an obviously pregnant woman onto the street before viciously shoving another unarmed woman onto the ground.

Posted by El Grito De Sunset Park on Tuesday, September 23, 2014

While suffering health complications due to the police beating received on September 20, 2014, Sandra Amezquita reportedly lost fluids in her womb. Three months after the incident, Amezquita was forced to give birth prematurely. Accusing officers of striking her in the stomach with a police baton, Amezquita lives with the fear that her son might suffer long-term medical repercussions.

Charged with disorderly conduct, Amezquita also sued the NYPD for using excessive force on an unarmed, pregnant woman.

Police in Charlotte, North Carolina, have released officer bodycam and dashcam footage of a controversial shooting of a black man on Tuesday.

They also released pictures of a handgun and marijuana that police say Keith Lamont Scott possessed.

Calls for the footage to be released had increased in the four days since Mr Scott was shot. His wife released her own video from her phone on Friday.

Mr Scott's family says he was carrying a book and not a gun.

Charlotte police chief Kerr Putney told reporters the victim was "absolutely in possession of a handgun".

Charlotte shooting: Unanswered questions

The dashcam footage released on Saturday shows Mr Scott getting out of his car and walking backwards with his hands down. It is unclear if there is anything in his hands. Four shots are heard and he falls to the ground.

The bodycam footage shows Mr Scott outside his car with his hands down but does not show the moment of the shooting.

The BBC's Laura Bicker in Washington says it does not clear up the key question of whether Mr Scott had a gun, or if he pointed a gun at police.

The lawyer for Mr Scott's family, Justin Bamberg, told reporters that the latest footage only raised more questions about the incident.

He said the video did not show a gun in Mr Scott's hand.

Speaking at a press conference earlier, Mr Putney released the first specific details from police on a case that has been mired in controversy and uncertainty.

Mr Putney said Mr Scott, 43, was in possession of marijuana and that he had committed another crime, which the police chief would not elaborate on.

He said that the officers who confronted Mr Scott were conducting surveillance when they spotted marijuana in the victim's car, and subsequently saw a gun.

In a video released on Friday, filmed by Mr Scott's wife, she can be heard telling officers repeatedly that he does not have a weapon.

Mr Putney said that the bodycam footage contained "no definitive visual evidence that he [Mr Scott] had a gun and pointed it at officers", but that police were satisfied he did.

Two videos have been made public, one filmed by an officer's bodycam and another by a patrol vehicle dashcam.

Mr Putney said that the officer who shot Mr Scott was not wearing a bodycam, because not all Charlotte police tactical teams wore them.

The officer who fatally shot the father of seven was identified as Brently Vinson, who is also African-American.

Quizzed about claims that police were not at the location because of Mr Scott, and encountered him randomly, Mr Putney said: "They were intentionally detaining this man. It was to take this man off the streets."

He said that that police would release DNA evidence as well as the footage.

Asked whether any officers would be charged, he said: "No officers are being charged by me at this point, but there is another investigation underway".

The shooting is being investigated by the Federal Bureau of Investigation.

Mr Scott's mother, Vernita Scott Walker, told South Carolina broadcaster WCSC he was probably reading the Koran.

She said he read the Islamic holy book every day, often while waiting for his son to get off the bus.

Mr Scott's family claim that he suffered from a brain injury brought on by a motorbike accident.

Critics have accused Charlotte authorities of a lack of transparency over the delay in releasing the footage, compared with the swift action taken after a police shooting in Tulsa, Oklahoma, where a white officer has been charged.

In the wake of the tragic shooting in Newtown, one of the emerging debates is whether there will even be a debate. Past mass shootings have come and gone without any action. Many argue that the reason for this inaction is simple: politicians have been afraid to take on the National Rifle Association, the large and influential pro-gun lobby that spent at least $18.6 million this past election cycle - $11.1 million through its Political Victory Fund, plus $7.5 million through its affiliated Institute for Legislative Action.

As CBS News chief Washington correspondent Bob Schieffer put it, "Congress is literally afraid to take on the National Rifle Association because they know that if they make any kind of statement [that] even suggests some sort of limits on gun control, the NRA is going to pour, literally, hundreds of thousands of dollars in a campaign to defeat them."

(Read about the 51 percent of lawmakers in the 113th Congress who have received campaign contributions from the NRA )

Here are the data: The NRA has spent 73 times what the leading pro-gun control advocacy organization, the Brady Campaign to Prevent Gun Violence, has spent on lobbying in the 112th Congress ($4.4 million to $60,000, through the second quarter of 2012), and 3,199 times what the Brady Campaign spent on the 2012 election ($18.6 million to $5,816). (One caveat on the data is that the NRA itself does a very poor job of accurately reporting its spending, and we must rely on its self-reports.)
Graphic by Amy Cesal
What these numbers don't capture is that the NRA boasts a grassroots list of millions of voters and the resources to mobilize these voters at even the slightest threat of gun control laws. Gun control advocates have nothing that comes close. In 2012, the NRA spent at least $682,595 on communication costs, that is, political messages to its own members.

When it comes to the debate on gun policy, Congress is only hearing from one side.

It is also important to note that the NRA is not the sole pro-gun group. The Gun Owners of America, which takes an even more fundamentalist position on guns (in the wake of shooting, their position is that gun control advocates have "blood on their hands" for banning guns from schools), has spent $26.9 million on lobbying since 1998, and spent $1.4 million on elections since 1990. The National Shooting Sports Foundation, headquartered in the same Newtown, Connecticut where the shooting took place, has spent $1.7 million lobbying since 1998, and spent $770,197 on elections since 1990.

By contrast, the only other explicitly pro-gun control group we can find, Mayors Against Illegal Guns, has spent $730,000 on lobbying since 1998, and nothing on elections. We should also note that these data do not include Handgun Control Inc., which merged with the Center to Prevent Handgun Violence in 2001. Between 1998 and 2001, Handgun Control did spend $1.1 million on lobbying going back to 1998 and $1.4 million on elections going back to 1998.

If incentives explain political behavior, the data show where the incentives lie. The imbalance of resources signals that all the political rewards are concentrated one side of the issue: the side of inaction, the side of fewer restrictions. Until this changes, gun control laws are going to be very, very difficult to pass.

Update (12/18/12): The 2012 NRA spending number we published on 12/17/12 was off because of a bug in the program we used, leading to double counting of some expenditures that had been itemized in the National Rifle Association of America Political Victory Fund's amended post election report. We did not realize the error because totals reported by the Federal Election Commission reflected the same error. We have corrected the error.

LIFE: The Sopranos

It's the show that changed television as we know it. On January 10, 1999, HBO introduced viewers to one of the most indelible antiheroes of all time: New Jersey mobster Tony Soprano. Created by producer David Chase, The Sopranos dove deep into the psyche of its titular mafioso (played by James Gandolfini), including the constant internal struggle between life as a family man and a made man. Over the course of its six-season run, The Sopranos would collect 21 Emmy awards and cement its status as an instant classic of the medium.

Now, ahead of the debut of the prequel movie, The Many Saints of Newark, starring Gandolfini's son Michael as a young Tony, LIFE looks back on the celebrated series, from its inception by Chase to the legacy left by Gandolfini following his untimely death. The show may have faded to black more than a decade ago, but fans have never stopped believing.
