ICE pepper-sprayed him, dragged him from his car, locked him in a detention center, and placed him on suicide watch. He even missed his young daughter’s birthday in the process.

Deep dive into the surge in US pedestrian deaths:
"It’s not that more pedestrians are getting hit by vehicles; it’s that the ones that are getting hit are more likely to die."
"[That] seems like fairly strong evidence for the theory that the rise in large SUVs is behind the uptick in ped deaths."

Thinking of all the families enrolled in Douglass Park day camp. How are they supposed to feel safe when a park district employee shot 2 unarmed kids in a crowded park??
If Supt. Snelling wanted to, yesterday he could have told the public:
1. The death of a child is a tragedy and CPD takes this shooting investigation very seriously
2. Even with a concealed-carry permit, possessing a gun in the park is a felony, so CPD is also investigating any gun violations

My state has had a legislative GOP supermajority for 22 years. Missouri is ranked:

Republicans can’t govern and you can look at every red state to come to that conclusion.
