When American police raided a Louisville, Kentucky, home last year, searching for evidence in a drug case, a 26-year-old woman was killed. The plain-clothes police officers were searching for the ex-boyfriend of the victim, Breonna Taylor, but instead found her with a new boyfriend and feared they were being attacked. The new boyfriend fired at the intruders, not knowing they were police officers, and the police fired back, killing Taylor.
Police initially fudged the report, but there was public outrage, with the raid denounced as a civil rights violation and another example of police brutality.

NEW DELHI: When the Tokyo Olympics were postponed to 2021 last year, nobody knew what life would be like a year on from that time. Vaccines were being looked at as the ultimate protection. The vaccines have arrived and are still the best saviour in sight, but the trend of mutations of the Covid-19 virus has threatened to break that firewall at some levels.
In between all this, the indications from the International Olympic committee (IOC) and the organising committee in Japan have been that they are sure about pulling off the Games. But what would be the nature of the Olympics in that case? It certainly will be far from a festival .
Late-night hosts joke about Facebook extending Donald Trump ban
Facebook has six months to decide on a permanent ban or a time-bound suspension for the former U.S. president.

A Facebook-appointed panel ruled to extend the social network s ban of former U.S. President Donald Trump and late-night hosts are having a field day talking about it on their respective shows.
The panel, comprised of journalists, lawyers, and activists, prevented any immediate return of Mr. Trump to mainstream social media. Facebook s Oversight Board, according to the New York Times, also agreed with the decision to extend the ban given his reaction to the attack on Washington in January, in which he allegedly created an environment where a serious risk of violence was possible.
