    Phoenix officers repeatedly punch, Taser deaf Black man with cerebral palsy
    https://www.abc15.com/news/local-news/investigations/phoenix-officer-repeatedly-punch-taser-deaf-black-man-with-cerebral-palsy
    A Black man, who is deaf and has cerebral palsy is facing felony aggravated assault and resisting arrest charges after he was repeatedly punched and tasered by a pair of Phoenix police officers. The violent and rapid arrest of Tyron McAlpin raises serious questions and could serve as a test case for Phoenix and the Department of Justice as the two battle over whether the police department in America’s fifth-largest city needs federal oversight. Acting on false claims from a white man under investigation, body camera video shows officers unexpectedly go after McAlpin, punch him in the head at least 10 times, Taser him four times, and wrap their arms around his neck. The violent arrest stems from a morning call from Circle K employees who reported that a White man was causing problems and wouldn’t leave the store, records show. While being trespassed, the man claimed he was assaulted by a Black man and pointed across the street at McAlpin. Officers Harris and Sue took the man’s claims at face value and left him to go after McAlpin. (The man’s assault claim was later refuted by store employees and surveillance video, records show.) After handcuffing McAlpin, his girlfriend arrived at the arrest and told the officers that he was deaf and had cerebral palsy, according to body camera footage. None of the officers at the scene included any information about McAplin’s disabilities in their reports.

    AGUÁN VALLEY, Honduras — In the years after 2018, during periods when the threats subsided and the paramilitary gunmen didn’t show up, nights in the village of Panamá were peaceful. People meandered freely through the dirt roads of the community, wedged against an ocean of reclaimed, reoccupied African palm plantations on the remote northern coast […]

    TD Bank Pleads Guilty and Pays $3 Billion to Settle Money-Laundering Case
    https://www.nytimes.com/2024/10/10/business/td-bank-fine.html
    TD Bank agreed to pay about $3 billion in fines to U.S. authorities and pleaded guilty on Thursday to money laundering-related charge in a case brought by federal prosecutors, who said the Canadian bank made it “convenient” for criminals to open accounts and transfer funds for nearly a decade. Such behavior was somewhat of an open secret inside the bank, prosecutors said. “How is that not money laundering?” one branch employee asked another after a customer was permitted to buy more than $1 million in bank checks with cash. “Oh, it 100 percent is,” the second employee responded, according to the charging documents.

    Another beluga dies at Marineland, Ontario saying little on 4-year probe into park
    https://toronto.ctvnews.ca/another-beluga-dies-at-marineland-ontario-saying-little-on-4-year-probe-into-park-1.7067472
    Another beluga whale has died at Marineland and four years into a provincial probe, Ontario's solicitor general is saying little about the investigation's progress. The latest beluga death is the fourth in the past year, provincial records show. Since 2019, 16 belugas and one killer whale have died at the Niagara Falls, Ont., tourist attraction, the only place in the country that still holds whales in captivity. And three out of five belugas that Marineland sold to Mystic Aquarium in Connecticut have died since being moved there in the spring of 2021.
