Officers are trained to not stand in front of or reach into moving vehicles, to never pull their firearms unless it is absolutely necessary, and to use force only in proportion to a corresponding threat.

Sheehan criticized the federal response to the shooting, citing comments made by Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem, who initially described Good's actions in the moments leading up to her death as domestic terrorism. Noem also accused Good of attempting to weaponize her vehicle against agents on the scene. "[Noem] came out in the cowboy hat and said it was domestic terrorism, trying to run over an officer, and then the footage came out and didn't speak to that at all," Sheehan said.

California wildlife officials announced they have dismantled a large underground wildlife trafficking operation in Fresno and Madera counties, after federal agents intercepted a falsely labeled international shipment, Gov.

Again, when you take into account all of the factors that none of us know because we weren't there we don't know what precipitated that, we don't know what happened before. And unfortunately they interfered with an ongoing law enforcement investigation and that is something you just don't do. Normal law-abiding citizens don't do that. There's nothing wrong with exercising their Amendment rights to record, but when you start interfering, that's tough.

Starbucks said on Tuesday that it had conducted an investigation of the incident and had fired the employee who had handed over the coffee cup at the drive-thru window, even though the investigation found that the drawing was not intentionally meant to be offensive.

I can honestly say the expression of appreciation by others was regularly awkward to receive, yet contributed significantly to my well-being. I later learned that receiving appreciation with grace not only eased that comfort level but was also a gift to the other person. Now, in this stage of my life, I am very intentional about expressing my appreciation for those still wearing the badge, and I approach the moment with authenticity and an understanding of how my expression may be received.

Just before 3 p.m. Tuesday, the FBI's National Threat Operation Center contacted the Dalton Police Department about a man who called the center and made claims that "sparked mental health concerns," according to the Berkshire District Attorney's Office.

Within two years, it had spread to every continent. Members - a lot of them teenagers - were finding kids as young as nine on Minecraft and Roblox. They'd befriend them, earn their trust, then trap them. They forced children to hurt themselves on camera. To hurt animals. To do things I'm not going to describe here. That kid from Texas is serving eighty years now. But 764 didn't stop. It splintered and kept growing.

In a new report, pan-European police agency Europol's Innovation Lab has imagined a not-so-distant future in which criminals could hijack autonomous vehicles, drones, and humanoid robots to sow chaos - and how law enforcement will have to step up as a result.

Desperate to focus on anything other than competently running a railroad, Amtrak made news this fall by arresting a couple hundred men for "public lewdness" in Penn Station, the implication being that they were cruising the bathrooms there for sex. This caused a minor uproar. New York's Rep. Jerry Nadler sent a letter demanding Amtrak, "Cease ... targeting members of the LGBTQ community ... on the basis of their perceived sexual orientation."

Radicalization in the United States is a massive problem, and, by the way, requires the FBI and the DoJ to actually do the thing they are supposed to do track down the groups doing the radicalizing, Shapiro said. He continued, [That is a] significantly harder problem to solve really, a much harder law enforcement problem to solve than just shutting the borders, which is what President Trump is attempting to do.
