A Marion County grand jury unanimously concluded that three state troopers were justified in their deadly #shooting of a man in March. Troopers Sharon DeBerry, Caleb Yoder and recruit Trooper Joshua Buckles collectively fired 16 shots within 7 seconds at William Floyd, 51. According to police reports, Yoder pulled over Floyd on Interstate 5 shortly before midnight March 26. Yoder and other officers who arrived for backup saw Floyd had a gun inside his truck. When he moved toward it, one officer grabbed his arm, leading to a fight between the two. When Floyd grabbed the gun, officers fired several rounds at him, injuring him in his torso, thigh and arm. When more officers arrived and helped get Floyd out of the van, he was dead.
Cops arrested 30 men earlier this month during Operation COVID Crackdown – an online sting that sought to identify and apprehend predators who use the internet to exploit children, Breaking911 reported. In each case, offenders used online platforms to initiate explicit conversations and solicit sex from police officers posing as children. When each of the suspects arrived at agreed upon locations, detectives took them into custody. The men, who ranged in age from 20 to 74, were charged with a combined 68 felonies. “Our detectives have remained vigilant and they recognized the increased threat posed by online predators in recent weeks,” said Major Ed O’Carroll, Bureau Commander, Major Crimes. “I commend their ability to adapt during this unprecedented public health pandemic and to do so in the interest of protecting our children and bringing justice to those who commit these repugnant crimes.”

Huge multi-million dollar public companies in the U.S. have been abusing a relief fund and depriving small businesses of vital tax-backed loans by claiming hundreds of millions of dollars not intended for them from the Paycheck Protection Program. Research from Morgan Stanley shows that of the fund's $349 billion, $243.4 million of the loans has been allocated to at least 90 publicly traded companies, which could have gone to help around 1,100 smaller businesses, causing public outrage. The Paycheck Protection Program (PPP) was created by Congress and designed to loan money to small 'mom and pop' businesses with 500 employees or less to help them survive the economic downturn during the coronavirus crisis, ensuring they can still pay their employees and bills, and to avoid mass layoffs.
