An Ohio grand jury indicted former Franklin County Sheriff's Office deputy Jason Meade, who shot Casey Goodman Jr. six times, including five times in the back, in Columbus on Dec. 4, 2020.

It's important to be clear that Question 2 -- a critical ballot initiative that would have replaced the Minneapolis Police Department with a Department of Public Safety -- was not the beginning and certainly not the end of our movement.

Established as a part of the 2021 Public Safety and Judiciary Omnibus Bill, the task force aims to address the root causes of violence against Black women and girls and address systemic failures that leave so many cases unresolved.  

The National Police Association wants the public to put away their cell phones during violent altercations between officers and civilians and start intervening instead of recording. "Stop filming and start helping," the organization said in a PSA posted to social media.

While the trial may have turned out favorably, the entire process doesn't reflect well on the criminal justice system. For starters, the case would not have even been handled by the Cobb County prosecutorial team if people just sat back and let the process run its course.

Former Brunswick Judicial Circuit District Attorney Jackie Johnson was indicted for her incestuous relationship with one of Ahmaud Arbery's accused killers who she refused to criminally charge for his killing.

The family of Anthony Harden, a Black man 'murdered" by Fall River police this week, has more questions than answers after few details were being disclosed following the Massachusetts shooting that's only being attributed to an unspecified "altercation."

“Turning Ahmaud Arbery into a victim after the choices that he made does not reflect the reality of what brought Ahmaud Arbery to Satilla Shores in his khaki shorts, with no socks to cover his long, dirty toenails,” said Laura Hogue, who represents Greg McMichael.

Occurring six years before the murder of 14-year-old Emmet Till in Mississippi, the four men were accused of kidnapping and raping a young white woman at gunpoint when she was driving home from a dance with her husband. Collectively known as the Groveland Four, the men ranged in age from 16 to 26. 

In an interview set to air on Fox News, Kyle Rittenhouse made an appearance on Fox News and told Tucker Carlson: “I’m not a racist person. I support the BLM movement, I support peacefully demonstrating.”
