Civil Rights Attorney Leo Terrell slams Brooklyn Center, Minnesota mayor for claiming police do not need weapons for traffic stops. A California gold rush town voted Tuesday to change its logo to remove a noose that stems from its mid-19th century reputation as Hangtown following high-profile lynchings of criminal suspects. The City Council for Placerville, which is about 45 miles northeast of Sacramento, voted to remove the noose after listening to emotional comments from residents, CBS 13 Sacramento reported.
