PHILADELPHIA (AP) A man who authorities say picked up a teenager awaiting trial in a homicide case after the youth escaped outside a Philadelphia hospital this week is now facing charges while the search for the teen continues.
Gunfire killed three people and wounded at least 11 others in a popular downtown Philadelphia entertainment district late Saturday night, authorities said.
After Chauvin s guilty verdict: A trial for American policing, the struggle for public trust begins anew Kevin Johnson, USA TODAY
When Michael Brown, a Black teenager, was fatally shot by police in Ferguson, Missouri, in 2014, a special White House panel quickly offered up a wave of reforms expected to help guide law enforcement through the most fraught encounters.
The President’s Task Force on 21st Century Policing produced 59 recommendations, following testimony from 140 witnesses.
“Building trust and legitimacy on both sides of the police-citizen divide is not only the first pillar of this task force’s report but also the foundational principle underlying this inquiry into the nature of the relations between law enforcement and the communities they serve,” the study group concluded.
