🎈 Police Balloons in the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade 🎈

As we head into Thanksgiving week, here’s a fun piece of parade history! Police-themed balloons have floated through the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade since 1947, beginning with the Comical Cop—an endearing character in a Victorian police uniform who became the first law-enforcement-inspired balloon in the parade.

In 2011, Macy’s revived the character as Harold the Policeman for the parade’s 85th anniversary. Harold quickly became a fan favorite, adding holiday cheer while honoring the commitment and service of law enforcement.

Harold officially retired in 2016, but his legacy lives on—reminding us that officers not only protect and serve, but also help bring joy to the communities they love.

Wishing everyone a safe and happy Thanksgiving week! 🦃

* For Immediate Release *

The Clinton Township Police Department is responding to an incident at the Partridge Creek Mall involving the report of gunfire. Upon responding to the area, police officers located one victim suffering from an apparent gunshot wound. The victim was transported from the scene to an area hospital by ambulance.

A person of interest was developed during the initial investigation. This individual is described as a black male wearing a green hooded-sweatshirt with white flowers, jeans, and tennis shoes. This person was last seen fleeing the mall to the west. This incident appears to be an isolated event that was contained between two parties, and not targeted at the tree lighting ceremony.

The Clinton Township Police Department urges all area residents to ensure their windows and doors are locked and to be alert as we search for the suspect.

🚨 CSPD: Officer Injured in Northgate

Texas: College Station Police say one of their officers was seriously injured last night in the Northgate bar district after a man intentionally stepped in front of him in a football-style stance while officers were chasing a fleeing suspect.

The officer hit the ground hard, suffering a severe hand injury and multiple abrasions. According to CSPD, the man laughed and walked away — then did the exact same thing to an elderly bystander, knocking him down too. That gentleman was treated on scene for knee abrasions.

Officers quickly moved in and arrested the suspect, who they say fought them but was taken into custody safely.

👉 Arrested:
Apolo Alexander Flores, 23, of Bryan
• Assault on a Peace Officer
• Resisting Arrest
💰 Total bond: $12,000

CSPD is reminding everyone to take care of each other out in Northgate and make smart decisions when you’re out enjoying the nightlife.

🙏🏻 Sending well wishes to the injured officer and the citizen who were hurt.

Kristen Welker: “Well, and banana prices are up almost 7%, coffee prices up nearly 19%. Isn't the fact that you're rolling back tariffs an admission that ultimately they do drive up prices for consumers?”

Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent: “Kristen, how much does your arm weigh?”

Kristen Welker: “That I do not know.”

Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent: “Exactly. But you know how much you weigh, and you get on the scale every morning. Inflation is a composite number. And we look at everything. So we are trying – we try to push down the things we can control. And as I said that we are working on – the energy prices are down. And everything flows from that. And I think we're going to see these other prices come down. And again, many of these goods were part of trade deals with countries that have been in the works for months.”

Please, pray for the Houston Police officer who was stabbed in the line of duty tonight.🙏🏻
