9 US police officers fired over death of young Nigerian man in their custody

We carried this story a few months ago. Handsome 22 year old Nigerian college student and artist Matthew Ajibade, was found dead in restraints in an isolation cell after he was booked into a county jail in Georgia on January 1st. Ajibade had been arrested on domestic violence charges following a fight with his girlfriend. If you missed the story, read here. 

Police said they were called to a home and when they arrived, they saw Ajibade holding his girlfriend down under a blanket and refused to release her. They claim the gilr had bruises on her face and her nose was bleeding and when they tried to arrest Ajibade, he became combative and had to restrained. His family lawyer has since said Ajibade was bipolar. The update now is that 9 police officers have been fired in connection with his death.
From UK Daily Mail 
The sheriff released no findings from the investigations into Ajibade's death, which is still considered an open case as prosecutors weigh possible criminal charges. However, the sheriff's office did provide a February 9 memo reminding deputies that they were prohibited from using stun guns on detainees already in restraints.
'Do not utilize any conducted electrical weapon to gain control of a detainee who is in full restraints while in a restraint chair,' the memo said, noting that detainees with both their hands and feet bound were to be considered fully restrained.
Sheriff's officials have previously said Ajibade was placed in a restraining chair in an isolation cell after he became combative during booking and injured three deputies. One deputy suffered a concussion and a broken nose, according to the sheriff's office. Authorities have declined to publicly release the report on Ajibade's autopsy, citing the open investigation.
The fired deputies include two supervisors — Cpl. Maxine Evans and Cpl. Jason Kenny — who were suspended after Ajibade died. The Associated Press could not find a phone number for either deputy Friday evening.
The sheriff deeply regrets the death of Mr. Ajibade,' said a statement released by the sheriff's office Friday. It said new policies implemented since Ajibade's death include security measures to audit the use of stun guns at the jail as well as booking procedures to ensure jail medical staff are notified immediately when a detainee requiring medication arrives.

Kim K says Kylie Jenner has always wanted lips (& butt) like hers

Kim K is defending her 17 year old sister Kylie Jenner who recently admitted having lip injections after lying about it for years, claiming the pumped up lips was as a result of make-up. Defending her Kim said Kylie has always wanted lips like hers and wondered why she wasn't blessed with it
"What you’ll see on the show is, Kylie, for a really long time, she was over-lining her lips. That was her method. That really was the truth for a while, then she decided to plump them. She didn’t lie, it took her a while to actually make that decision to do it and once she decided to plump them, she was still over-lining, then sometimes it would look too big, then she figured out to stop over-lining. She plumped them and she was happy with it." Kim said. Continue...
People think ‘Oh my god she lied for so long – now she’s finally come clean’ but that’s not really the case, it took her a while to do it.
I know people are saying ‘She’s [only] 17 years old,’ but it’s been an insecurity of hers for years. At 10 and 11 years old she’d say ‘Kimmy, how come my lips aren’t as big as your guys’?’
If it’s going to make her feel better then I’m all for it. Now people can stop talking about it." Kim said
She hasn't said anything about the butt yet, but I'm sure when she turns 18, we will hear all about it.
