For the past four weeks, a group of up to 40 protesters has gathered outside the Collin County Jail nearly every night around 9 p.m. They hang signs, draw on the sidewalk with chalk and decorate the chain link fence, celebrating the life of Marvin Scott III, who died while in the custody of jail staff in March.
Consistently, their memorials have been taken down by county staff. But that doesn’t deter his sister, LaChay Batts, from returning every day with other community members outside the jail in McKinney.

Jay Inslee s welcoming of all refugees in Olympia, Washington. US lawmakers were expected to vote December 6, 2017 to let gun owners carry concealed firearms across state lines, a controversial bill that critics say is aimed at undermining national gun control efforts. The Concealed Carry Reciprocity Act would essentially allow anyone with a permit to carry hidden weapons into any state, including those like New York and California, and the US capital Washington, which have far stronger restrictions on carrying loaded guns in public. / AFP PHOTO / JASON REDMONDJASON REDMOND/AFP/Getty ImagesJASON REDMOND/AFP/Getty Images
