http://www.cnn.com/2015/04/30/us/baltimore-freddie-gray-death-investigation/index.html

The mystery of Freddie Grays death has grown more complex with each day.  Thursday it was revealed that his death might have  occurred on the ride over to the police station.  The ride to the police station was roughly around 40 mins.  According to sources Gary's death was caused by a catastrophic injury after he slammed into the back of the police van. When looked at closely, their was a similar bolt inside the van marked on the head of Freddie Gray.

This relates to gov because police men are government employees.

This is a terrible situation all around.  I feel  bad for the police officers involved but they messed up.  The death of Freddie Gray was awful and as a result their is rioting all around the country. 

Obama makes "Deflategate" joke in front of Patriots

Today President met with this years Super Bowl champs to congradulate them on winning the Super Bowl.  While talking to the media the President didn't hesitate to get in a little jab about the recent "Deflategate" scandal.  The President said "I usually tell a lot of jokes at these events, but with the Patriots in town I was worried that 11 out of 12 of them would fall flat."  The joke was met with mixed emotions by the team.  Coach Belichick gave the President a thumbs down and star tightend Rob Gronkoski wasn't amused by the joke either. 

This relates to government because the President filled his role as president by interacting with citizens.  

I think it's great that the President got a little jab in at the Patriots.  The Patriots have been cheating forever and this is a prime example.  They knew exactly what size the ball should be and they failed to follow the rules.  Because of their actions I think they should get all the negative publicity they can get. Therefore I applaud the President for his for his joke. 

Muslim Migrants throw Christians Overboard

Muslims on a boat traveling from Lybia to Italy threw 12 Christians overboard which eventually lead to their death.  Upon their arrival 15 people were arrested because of their actions.  After being raided by the Muslim terrorist, the survivors were intercepted by an Italian Navy vessel and were brought over to safety.  Many people make the dangerous voyage to the Mediterranean coastline to escape poverty and war.  Unfortunately, many die along the way due to the ships being ill equipped for the dangerous voyage

This relates to gov because it relates to foreign affairs which is part of the Presidents job to oversee.

This is extremely heinous, depressing, and unfortunate.  What right people would just leave people out to die?  Hopefully these people come to justice for their actions and we continue to fight to but an end to terrorism.

Obama sets to Test Engagement Doctrine with Cuba in Panama.

After agreeing to a compromise with Iran, Obama now sets his sights on South and Central America prepared to test his doctrine of engaging Cuba.  After a brief stop in Jamacia Obama heads to Panama where he plans to "interact" with Raul Castro.  Castro is coming to the gathering for the first time since Cuba was kicked out of the Organization of American States. Although they have no planned conversation Obama's aids have hinted at a conversation set for when they emerge with each other.  It is also promoted that Cuba might be removed from a list of states that sponsor terror. Regardless of whatever is to happen, it should make for some exciting news.  

This relates to gov because this conference is one that our President, who is seen as the head of our government, is attending.

I like this and think it would be great if it happened. The U.S. and Cuba have been bickering with each other for ever and now that could potentially stop.  Plus it's good for a country to be removed from that dreadful list.
