close Video Chicago cop who killed Adam Toledo acted ‘consistent with the law,’ lawyer says Tim Grace lays out the case for Chicago police officer Eric Stillman on ‘The Ingraham Angle’ A Chicago-based prosecutor was placed on paid leave Friday for failing to mention in a statement that Adam Toledo , 13, had dropped the handgun he was holding before he was shot by a Chicago police officer, the Cook County State’s Attorney’s office announced. "In court last week, an attorney in our office failed to fully present the facts surrounding the death of a 13-year-old boy," State’s Attorney Kim Foxx’s spokeswoman Sarah Sinovic said Saturday. She was referring to an April 10 hearing, according to the Chicago Sun-Times. "We have put that individual on leave and are conducting an internal investigation into the matter," Sinovic continued. Assistant State’s Attorney James Murphy reportedly told a judge at a bond hearing for Ruben Roman, 21, who was allegedly with Toledo the night he was killed, that when Toledo turned "towards the officer" he had "a gun in his right hand." "The officer fires one shot at [Toledo], striking him in the chest. The gun that [Toledo] was holding landed against the fence a few feet away," Murphy told the judge. ADAM TOLEDO SHOOTING: VIDEO RELEASE LEAVES FAMILY, COMMUNITY REELING AS AUTHORITIES CONTINUE TO INVESTIGATE Body camera footage of the March 29 shooting that was released Thursday appears to show Toledo dropped the gun he was holding before he was shot by the officer. Foxx’s office partially walked back Murphy’s statement Thursday, less than an hour before the body camera footage was released, the Chicago Tribune reported. Her office has not elaborated on why it took five days to make the clarification. Murphy has been accused by Foxx’s office of "failing to fully inform himself" about the body camera footage "before speaking in court." "Errors like that cannot happen ...

Daunte Wright shooting: Is progressive push putting due process in jeopardy?
close Video Former detective on Daunte Wright case: Death very possibly 'caused by negligence' of police officer Former D.C. homicide detective Ted Williams explains why the charges against former police officer Kim Potter are 'right and appropriate.' The right to due process – protected under the U.S. Constitution – has transformed into a point of contention in the Minnesota city of Brooklyn Center after former police officer Kim Potter fatally shot 20-year-old Daunte Wright during a traffic stop, evoking several consecutive nights of civil unrest that has spilled into Minneapolis . Brooklyn Center City Manager Curt Boganey was fired for arguing at a press conference that the officer should receive due process, and the police chief, Tim Gannon, offered his resignation after publicly suggesting the same. "All employees working for the city of Brooklyn Center are entitled to due process with respect to discipline," Boganey said at the press conference which included journalists and activists, "This employee will receive due process and that’s really all that I can say today." Boganey had worked for the city of Brooklyn Center since 2003 -- including 15 years as city manager. DAUNTE WRIGHT SHOOTING: ARMED SECURITY REMAINS OUTSIDE EX-MINNESOTA POLICE OFFICER KIM POTTER'S HOME "We are standing in solidarity and calling for the firing of this officer," one activist told the city manager. "You have talked about her having due process – although Daunte Wright did not get due process. She needs to be fired immediately to send a message that this type of behavior will not be condoned within the city of Brooklyn Center." "Thank you, I appreciate those comments," Boganey, who is Black, responded. In a matter of hours, Brooklyn Center City Council held an emergency meeting and voted 4-1 to relieve the city manager of his duties, which had included responsibility and command over the police department. ...
White House defends ‘aspirational’ goal of 62,500 refugees
The White House insisted Monday that President Biden Joe Biden Graham: 'I could not disagree more' with Trump support of Afghanistan troop withdrawal Obama, Shaquille O'Neal, Charles Barkley team up to urge communities of color to get coronavirus vaccine Biden to hold second meeting with bipartisan lawmakers on infrastructure MORE ’s goal of increasing the annual cap on refugee admissions to 62,500 was always “aspirational” but that he remains committed to upping the number above the Trump-era level of 15,000. “We have every intention to increase the cap and to make an announcement of that by May 15 at the latest, and I expect it will be sooner than that,” press secretary Jen Psaki Jen Psaki Sullivan: White House 'absolutely committed' to raising refugee cap Biden on refugee cap: 'We couldn't do two things at once' Biden, Japan's PM focus on China, North Korea in first bilateral meeting MORE told reporters at an afternoon briefing. “The president also remains committed to pursuing the aspirational goal of reaching 125,000 refugees by the end of the next fiscal year.” Psaki defended the administration’s handling of the refugee policy, after an announcement last week that Biden would keep the cap at 15,000 prompted widespread outcry from Democrats. ADVERTISEMENT Hours after the initial announcement, the White House backpedaled , saying that Biden planned to increase the number on or before May 15 but that it was unlikely that he would raise it to 62,500. The State Department in February had sent a proposal to Congress to increase the refugee cap to 62,500, so the announcement on Friday came as a shock to Democrats and advocates alike as a result. While Biden’s directive opened up slots to refugees from parts of Africa and the Middle East that had been excluded by the Trump administration, the decision to keep the cap at a historic low level was nevertheless blasted as a broken promise after Biden ...
