Minneapolis Police Chief Brian O'Hara: "People have had enough. This is the third shooting in less than 3 weeks. The MPD went the entire year last year recovering about 900 guns from the street, arresting hundreds of violent offenders, and we didn't shoot anyone ... this is not sustainable."

2. don't know how to secure weapons.
3. and after perhaps saving an ICE life, a commander tells detainees “But you need to tell everybody that we treated you kindly.”

Natural Gas: less than a week ago the Mar 31 inventory estimate was 2 trillion cubic feet, today it's 1.6T. That's a huge shift in a few days. Those who held a short position in futures (or short calls) over the weekend had their derrière handed to them.
