"Your tweet that targeted a police officer in Ohio, who saved a young woman’s life was irresponsible and disturbing... You basically put a target on the back of a human being who had to make a split-second decision to save a life from a deadly attack.”

BREAKING! The Justice Department announced federal hate crime charges Wednesday in the death of a Georgia man who was killed while out for a run last year.

The criminal case charging the three men in connection with the death of Ahmaud Arbery is the most significant civil rights prosecution undertaken to date by the Biden administration Justice Department. It comes as federal officials have moved quickly to open sweeping investigations into troubled police departments as civil rights takes center stage among the department’s priorities, KTLA reported.

Travis McMichael and his father, Gregory, and a third man, William “Roddie” Bryan, are all charged with one count of interference with civil rights and attempted kidnapping. The McMichaels are also charged with using, carrying and brandishing a firearm during a crime of violence.

New limits placed on LAPD officers’ personal social media activity.

Los Angeles police officers will no longer be able to use any Los Angeles Police Department trademarks or insignia and could face discipline for discriminatory or harassing behavior on their personal social media accounts as part of an updated policy approved by the LAPD Board of Commissioners Tuesday, April 27.

The newly updated policy also prohibits posts that could compromise the safety of other officers, posting non-public material or any statements claiming to be representative of the department, according to the policy.

The new policy attempts to “balance employees’ rights with the needs of the Department in fulfilling its public safety mission,” LAPD Chief Michel Moore said in a department-wide notice.

“As the digital landscape continues to evolve and new online communication platforms emerge, the impact and influence of social media within the community increases,” Moore wrote. “It is therefore important that all personnel carefully consider the implications of their use of social media.”
