Seven officers investigated after man 'in crisis' dies during Boston arrest
Seven police officers are being investigated after a man they restrained outside of a Boston-area fish market died. The officers handcuffed Francis Gigliotti, 43, near Bradford Seafood restaurant in Havervill on Friday night. Gigliotti was captured on CCTV walking onto the middle of White Street and into traffic. The footage obtained by NBC10 Boston showed Gigliotti appearing to fall while exiting a store and hitting his head on a car. The restaurant owner said Gigliotti was acting out of control, but some witnesses who recorded the incident on their cell phones said the officers restraining him were using too much force. Gigliotti became unresponsive during the scuffle and was transported to a nearby hospital, where he was pronounced dead. His fiancée, Michele Rooney, said he was having a mental health crisis and was not carrying any weapons. 'Eyewitnesses say more than six officers restrained him—piling on top of him—while he screamed out for help and ultimately stopped breathing,' Rooney wrote in a GoFundMe page for Gigliotti's funeral expenses. 'I am completely devastated. Francis should still be here.' Rooney told NBC10 that witnesses who were videotaping before she arrived said that Gigliotti was hollering, 'Help, help, get off of me, help me, help me.' 'They had their knee on his neck and they were sitting on him. They were like, it was like a giant pig pile on top of him,' Rooney said of the officers. 'He had a heart of gold, he would never hurt anybody, he was screaming for help and their way of helping him is killing him by applying pressure on him?' On Monday, Haverhill police Chief Robert Pistone Jr announced that the seven officers were put on paid administrative leave as the Essex County District Attorney's Office reviews the incident. The officers were not wearing body cameras, as the police department does not have them, according to Mayor Melinda Barrett. Since the 1990s, the US Justice Department has told officers to roll suspects off their stomachs when they are handcuffed to avoid asphyxia, which can lead to suffocation and death. Rooney said that the medical examiner told her it could take up to 60 days to determine Gigliotti's cause of death. Over the weekend, a vigil was held for Gigliotti and some protesters rallied outside the police department demanding answers. Anyone with videos or photos from the incident is urged to share them with the district attorney's office. The GoFundMe page had raised more than $5,200 as of Tuesday evening. More Trending 'We are now left to carry not only the pain of his loss,' Rooney wrote, 'But the burden of funeral costs and the legal fight for justice in his name.' Gigliotti was from Haverhill, a suburb about 35 miles north of Boston. He was the co-founder of Teddy Bear Roofing, according to a Facebook post by the company. 'We started this business together less than a month ago, after working side-by-side for the last four years. What we built was more than a company. It was a dream. And it was finally starting to take shape,' states the post. 'Francis was kind, hardworking, loyal, and full of life. He had so much ahead of him, and he didn't deserve this. None of this is okay.'

Rap superstar Kendrick Lamar to get his very own university course
Rap's reigning champion Kendrick Lamar is currently on tour in Europe with SZA for their joint Grand National tour, which lands in Paris today before heading off to the UK, Spain, Italy and Poland. For any American fans who failed to get a ticket for the US leg of the tour, there's a recent piece of news that might come as some comfort – one which will need them to head back to university. Indeed, Kendrick Lamar's cultural legacy is set to become the subject of a university course in the US. As reported by NBC10, Temple University in Philadelphia will offer a course in their Fall 2025 semester titled "Kendrick Lamar and the Morale of M.A.A.D City" - a reference to both his albums 'Mr. Morale & The Big Steppers' and 'Good Kid, M.A.A.D City'. The course will be available to all students. It will be overseen by Timothy Welbeck, a professor for the Department of Africology and African American Studies and the Director for the Center For Anti-Racism at Temple. Welbeck, who has previously run classes based on the work of Tupac Shakur, Beyoncé and Jay-Z, said: 'Kendrick Lamar is one of the defining voices of his generation and in many ways, both his art and life is reflective of the Black experience in many telling ways.' He went on to explain that he believes the rapper's 'journey towards self-actualization' is related to the Black experience. 'My current department chair was very open to the idea and received it almost immediately,' he added. 'In a lot of ways, our department at Temple specifically, and Temple more broadly, has embraced the study of hip-hop in academic spaces.' That's all very well and good, but what about any eventual branching out with regards to European university courses? Lamar is far from the first musician to have a university course centered around their work. The likes of Beyoncé, Rihanna, Britney Spears and Taylor Swift have been the focus of uni courses in the US, while The Beatles and Bob Dylan are regular topics in various European universities. In 2022, the prestigious and highly-selective French school École Normale Supérieure (ENS) announced its students were going crazy in love with seminars on Beyoncé. Titled 'Beyoncé: nuances of a cultural icon,' the seminars aimed to reflect on the notions of culture and representativeness with a focus on the 'artistic orientation in a multidisciplinary way, through art history, contemporary literature, history and philosophy.' Similarly, the Belgian University of Ghent launched Europe's first Taylor Swift-inspired literature course in 2023, an elective course highlighting the themes, styles and techniques of famous historical literary writers like Robert Frost, Emily Dickinson, and Margaret Atwood – all from the US pop superstar's perspective. While courses on celebrity musicians are rarer in Europe, there are other initiatives available, like last year's Taylor Swift course offered by Glasgow Clyde College (GCC) in Scotland, to better educate parents who were accompanying their children to the singer's record-breaking The Eras Tour. Kendrick Lamar and SZA's Grand National tour is in Europe until 9 August. The two stars then head to South America and Australia, where the tour ends on 10 December. Lamar's most recent album, 'GNX', made our Best Albums of 2024 list last year. In our review, we said: '('GNX') may not be his most ambitious release, but it's a more directly accessible and less conceptual collection of songs compared to 2022's 'Mr. Morale & The Big Steppers' – more akin to 'DAMN.' in this sense. It's cinematic ('squabble up'), anthemic ('tv off'), lacerating ('wacced out murals'), slick ('luther', featuring SZA), and moving ('gloria'). The immediacy of the album doesn't mean that there isn't depth behind the bops, and Lamar's penmanship continues to be as precise and as ferocious than ever." Check out ourfull list of 2024's Best Albums, as well as ourBest Albums of 2025... So Far.

Trump supporter forbidden from returning home after visiting Canada
A Green Card holder and avid Trump supporter has been denied re-entry into the United States after visiting Canada. Chris Landry, 46, has legally lived in the U.S. since he was three years old and has built a life in Peterborough with his partner and five children. But on Sunday, as he attempted to return home from his yearly trip to his native Canada, he was stopped at the border in Maine with three of his children and barred from re-entry. 'They denied me re-entry and said, "Don't come back or we will detain you," and the only way for me to get in back was to see an immigration judge,' Landry told NBC 10. 'They pulled me aside and started questioning me about my past convictions in New Hampshire.' After three hours, he was turned away due to charges he faced of marijuana possession and driving with a suspended license in 2004 and 2007. At the time he was given a suspended sentence and paid the fines and said he has had no criminal record since. 'I never expected that I wouldn't be able to go back home,' he told WMUR. 'It was scary. I felt like I was being treated like a criminal.' His three children who were with him in Canada, and all American citizens, are set to make their way home in the coming days. Landry said he had never faced issues travelling across to Canada until now, and blamed the 'new administration and their new policies'. Though as a Green Card holder he is unable to vote, Landry avidly supported Donald Trump, but has since changed his tune. 'I was definitely all for "Make America Great Again," and having a strong, unified country, and a bright future for my five American children, but now I feel a little differently,' he said. Landry said it was the Trump administration's aggressive crackdown on immigration that stranded him up north. 'I've been torn from my family,' he continued. 'My life has been disregarded completely.' Landry has appealed to the New Hampshire congressional delegation for help and hopes they will intervene. The office of Democratic Sen. Maggie Hassan said they had been in touch with the New Hampshire native, and told NBC that, 'helping constituents navigate federal agencies and processes is a core function of Senator Hassan's office.' US Customs and Border Protection told the outlet: 'Possessing a Green Card is a privilege, not a right, and under our nation's laws, our government has the authority to revoke a Green Card if our laws are broken or abused. Lawful Permanent Residents presenting at a U.S. port of entry with previous criminal convictions may be subject to mandatory detention and/or may be asked to provide additional documentation to be set up for an immigration hearing.'

Landry now anxiously waits to see what will come of his efforts to return home and added: 'It's just very uncertain for me right now.' His son, Caleb, posted on Facebook that Landry and his family have contemplated moving the whole family to Canada to avoid separation, 'which is easier said than done.' Landry continued: 'I might end up spending the rest of my life in Canada. Who knows if I'll ever have the right to re-enter the United States at this point?'
