    Exploding Pagers: What Was the Point? | Gwynne Dyer

    The exploding pagers that killed at least twelve people and injured 2,800 others in Lebanon and some adjacent places on Tuesday were mostly just a new wrinkle on the exploding cellphones that Israel has used to assassinate its opponents in the past, but there was one major innovation.

    The secret deals whitewashing the conduct of California police officers: Key takeaways from our investigation
    https://www.sfchronicle.com/california/article/clean-record-agreements-investigation-19752768.php
    For decades, California police chiefs and sheriffs have lamented how difficult it is to fire officers and deputies who act with dishonesty or brutality, blaming powerful labor unions and robust employment protections. What law enforcement leaders have not revealed, and what has remained a secret until now, is how they have repeatedly turned to an under-the-radar method of getting rid of problem officers — one that not only allows the officers to avoid accountability but, often, to quietly move on to other jobs where they are asked to protect the public. For years, dozens of California police agencies have executed “clean-record agreements,” clandestine legal settlements that promise to hide the wrongdoing of an officer in exchange for the officer’s guarantee to leave an agency without a fight, an investigation by the San Francisco Chronicle and UC Berkeley’s Investigative Reporting Program found.

    Body of Joseph Couch, who shot drivers on I-75 in Kentucky, found in nearby woods
    https://www.kentucky.com/news/local/crime/article292698564.html
    The body of a man accused of shooting five people in vehicles on Interstate 75 earlier this month in Southern Kentucky, setting off a massive manhunt, was found Wednesday afternoon near the crime scene. Joseph Couch, 32, was found near Exit 49 on the interstate, about nine miles north of London, near where he shot 12 vehicles on Sept. 7. The scene was about 65 miles south of Lexington on one of the nation’s busiest highways. KSP announced at 4:18 p.m. that a body had been found and they were working to identify it. The announcement came about an hour after a couple named Fred and Sheila McCoy posted a live YouTube video claiming they’d found Couch after searching for six days and nights. The couple went live a second time after finding the body, and they appeared to be discussing what they’ll do with the reward money. Authorities had offered a $35,000 reward for information that led to Couch’s arrest, and police confirmed Wednesday night the McCoys will receive $25,000 of that reward. Fred and Sheila say they are descendants of the famous feuding families the Hatfields and McCoys from West Virginia and Kentucky. The couple previously operated the Hatfields and McCoys museum in Casey County, according to the museum’s website. Casey County is about an hour west of the I-75 shootings.

    Video shows NYPD officers punching Brooklyn shelter worker
    https://www.cbsnews.com/newyork/news/brooklyn-shelter-worker-beaten-by-nypd/
    Surveillance video exclusively obtained by CBS News New York Investigates shows NYPD officers repeatedly punching a man working at a Brooklyn homeless shelter last February. Jason Salters says officers attacked him when he was just trying to follow orders to do his job. Salters said NYPD officers showed up in the early morning looking for a domestic violence suspect who had been staying at the shelter. He says the police didn't have a warrant so, according to an internal DHS report, he called a director of social services for the city, and put her on speaker phone. "She said, in front of the sergeant and officers, 'No Jason, absolutely not. Do not let them in. They do not have a warrant?' I said 'No, ma'am.' 'Absolutely not, do not let them in,'" Salters said.

    How anti-disinformation research came under fire
    https://www.motherjones.com/politics/2024/09/disinformation-rollback/
    Academic and industry support has retreated amid a GOP assault. A few months ago, a man crawling along a rooftop in Pennsylvania tried to murder Donald Trump at a campaign rally. Hours later, press releases started to circulate, from analysts, think tanks, politicians, and pundits, all offering to cut through the swell of confusion and misinformation. One of the people who washed up in my inbox was Ben Swann, whom a New York–based PR team presented as a journalist, and a source “to separate the conspiracy theories from the facts behind Trump’s assassination attempt.” This was curious for several reasons, the main being that Swann is himself an energetic conspiracy theorist, who first attracted notice in 2017 by touting Pizza­gate, a lurid conspiracy about child trafficking, while working for Atlanta’s CBS affiliate. Swann was ultimately fired, but quickly launched a new career as a star of the most conspiracy-addled corner of the online universe, posting to his website Truth in Media. He also began accepting millions of dollars in funding from a Kremlin-backed broadcaster to produce pro-Russian propaganda, according to disclosure forms he filed with the federal government when registering as a foreign agent. While Swann has prospered by confidently and cynically presenting himself as a force for truth, legitimate researchers of disinformation—the kind he’s spread for much of his professional life—are struggling. Over the last several years, the field has undergone a broadscale attack from politicians, right-wing media, and tech industry giants. As a result, research has been curtailed, people have been laid off, and academics working in the space even fear talking to one another, lest it leave them open to charges of “conspiring” by their adversaries.

    A 12-year-old girl was hit by a car. It had $19,770 in unpaid tickets.
    https://www.washingtonpost.com/dc-md-va/2024/09/17/dc-child-struck-driver-tickets/
    Victims of traffic violence in D.C. say the city needs to get drivers who rack up tickets off the roads. Most afternoons, Paisley Brodie calls her mother when she gets to the public library four blocks from her middle school on Capitol Hill. On Sept. 9, the call came when Deirdre Allen expected it, but her 12-year-old daughter was crying. “Mommy,” she said, “I just got hit by a car...” Allen never saw the man who hit her daughter with a black Land Rover. A witness told police, and later The Washington Post, that the driver did not stop in time for the red light. After he hit Paisley, witnesses said, the man berated her for being in the crosswalk, claiming she had a red signal. Paisley, unable to walk, was taken to Children’s National Hospital. The driver left with a citation for colliding with a pedestrian, which can lead to up to 30 days in jail. The driver, Earl Darryl Curtis, of District Heights, Md., said in an interview that he stopped in the crosswalk once he realized the light was red and that it was Paisley who collided with his car, not the other way around. “If I had ran the light, I would have run her over,” he said. “She damaged my car.” He went on to say, “I didn’t even see the girl. … The only thing they got me on is the crosswalk.” It wasn’t the first ticket or even the 50th tied to the car. Allen, who was given a photo of the license plate by a witness, learned that the Land Rover has 94 unpaid tickets worth $19,770 from D.C. traffic cameras, six for speeding just this month and four for running red lights since July. It’s not clear who was driving each time; the cameras capture only the license plate. When it comes to tickets linked to the Land Rover, Curtis said that “you can’t prove” who was driving and that his traffic-related record is “irrelevant” to the incident that left Paisley injured.
