US hit with mass shootings and fatal accidents on Fourth of July holiday

July 4th shootings and accidentsFriday’s US Independence Day holiday was marked by multiple shootings across the US, including one in Indianapolis that left at least two dead and five wounded as a police chief voiced frustration over the latest acts of violence in his city.

Indianapolis metropolitan police chief Chris Bailey told reporters early Saturday morning that the Fourth of July mayhem a day earlier was “completely unacceptable and unnecessary” – and that parents and guardians needed to better control their children.

“Hundreds of unsupervised kids down here,” he said, while speaking in the city’s downtown. “I don’t know how many times I had to say it: We are not your children’s keepers. You are! And parents and guardians have got to step up.”

Police said one minor had died at a hospital after the shooting.

Mass shootings – defined as cases where four or more shooting victims are injured or killed – were reported in other cities, including Philadelphia and Chicago and Brockton, Massachusetts, where six people were hospitalized following an early morning fight Saturday.

Ice raids leave crops unharvested at California farms: ‘We need the labor’

Crops left unharvested in forniaLisa Tate is a sixth-generation farmer in Ventura county, California, an area that produces billions of dollars worth of fruit and vegetables each year, much of it hand-picked by immigrants in the US illegally.

Tate knows the farms around her well. And she says she can see with her own eyes how raids carried out by agents from US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (Ice) in the area’s fields earlier this month, part of Donald Trump’s immigration crackdown, have frightened off workers.

“In the fields, I would say 70% of the workers are gone,” she said in an interview. “If 70% of your workforce doesn’t show up, 70% of your crop doesn’t get picked and can go bad in one day. Most Americans don’t want to do this work. Most farmers here are barely breaking even. I fear this has created a tipping point where many will go bust.“

University Of Virginia President Resigns Under Pressure From Trump DOJ

James Ryan resignsUniversity of Virginia President James Ryan resigned Friday, complying with demands from the Trump administration he do so after the Justice Department opened an investigation into diversity, equity and inclusion efforts at the school.

Sources told the New York Times that Ryan announced the decision in a letter to the school’s board Thursday, telling the leaders that, “given the circumstances” and “with deep sadness,” he was tendering his resignation.

According to the Charlottesville, Va., CBS affiliate, Ryan had intended to step down at the end of the next academic year.

A spokesperson for the school didn’t immediately respond to a request for comment.

Ryan addressed the development in a letter to the university community Friday afternoon.

“I am inclined to fight for what I believe in, and I believe deeply in this University. But I cannot make a unilateral decision to fight the federal government in order to save my own job,” he wrote.

Pam Bondi denies knowing Ice agents wore masks during raids despite video evidence

Bondi knew nothing about mashed ICE agents

The attorney general, Pam Bondi, professed ignorance of reports of immigration officials hiding their faces with masks during roundups of undocumented people, despite widespread video evidence and reports that they are instilling pervasive fear and panic.

Challenged at a Wednesday Capitol Hill subcommittee hearing by Gary Peters, a Democratic senator for Michigan, Bondi, who as the country’s top law officer has a prominent role in the Trump administration’s hardline immigration policy, implied she was unaware of plain-clothed agents concealing their faces while carrying out arrests but suggested it was for self-protection.

“I do know they are being doxxed … they’re being threatened,” she told Peters. “Their families are being threatened.”

Bondi’s protestations appeared to strain credibility given the attention the masked raids carried out by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (Ice) agents have attracted on social media and elsewhere.

Man who spent 27 years in prison going home after murder conviction overturned: ‘I’m innocent’

justiceA man who was in prison for almost three decades is going home after a judge vacated a first-degree murder conviction as part of a plea deal, according to a Duke University School of Law Wrongful Convictions Clinic news release.

Benjamin Cole, 47, was convicted of the 1998 murder of Calvin Jenkins, who was shot in his Greensboro apartment during a robbery. Cole has always maintained his innocence and said he was in Ohio at the time of the murder.

“I’m innocent, and I just want to be home,” he said.

That happened Wednesday as a judge vacated his first-degree murder conviction, and Cole pleaded guilty to a lesser second-degree murder charge on an Alford plea. An Alford plea is a guilty plea that lets a defendant maintain their innocence.

Cole left a Guilford County, North Carolina courtroom on Wednesday and was reunited with his mother.
