How US cities lost control of police discipline

In the chaos of 1960s Detroit, a fledgling police union laid the groundwork for a system that, to this day, constrains discipline for officers accused of misconduct. It took Portland, Oregon, almost US$1 million in legal fees, efforts by two mayors and a police chief, and years of battle with the police union to defend the firing of Officer Ron Frashour only to have to bring him back. Today, the veteran white officer, who shot an unarmed black man in the back a decade ago, is still on the force.

HASTINGS â Hastings Middle School students will be able to learn about horticulture year-round thanks to a newly constructed geodesic dome on the west side of the school.
Jayson Stoddard, a seventh-grade science teacher, said the main dome structure was built by Growing Spaces of Pagosa Springs, Colo., at the end of October over the course of five or six days.
âWe researched a lot of dome structures and this one (Growing Spacesâ dome) fell more in line with what our aspirations were in the classroom, as far as creating a space we can grow in all year-round,â he said.
The funding for the dome project began with the Hastings Public Schools Foundation.
