Most Cops Involved in High-Profile Killings Since 2014 Kept Their Police Licenses

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 08:33:57 GMT

Rarely does a new police hire make national headlines. But when Myles Cosgrove got a job at the Carroll County sheriff’s department in northern Kentucky this past April, people had reason to pay attention.About three years earlier, he and his squad of Louisville police officers had used a battering ram to break into Breonna Taylor’s home during a deadly raid. Investigators later found that Cosgrove was one of three officers who fired their guns. While the Louisville police department ultimately fired Cosgrove for violating use-of-force procedures and not using his body camera, he eluded criminal charges and remains employable as a cop.That’s because he kept his police certification.He’s not the only one. Out of 54 officers involved in 14 high-profile killings that spurred Black Lives Matter protests in the last nine years, only 10 had their certifications or licenses revoked as a matter of disciplinary action, according to The Intercept’s analysis of certification documents obtained...

Más allá de los fabricantes de automóviles: cómo puede afectar la huelga a la economía estadounidense

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 08:33:57 GMT

(CNN) — Con la histórica huelga de United Auto Workers oficialmente en marcha, los expertos afirman que la economía de EE.UU. ya se está resintiendo, pero no es probable que el impacto lleve al país a una recesión.“Esto se debe a que la parte sindicalizada de la industria, aunque sigue siendo grande, ya no representa una parte tan importante de la economía nacional como antes”, declaró a CNN Gabriel Ehrlich, experto en previsiones económicas de la Universidad de Michigan.Pero el impacto final de la huelga depende de factores como su duración, si las empresas despiden a trabajadores de otras plantas, cuántos trabajadores abandonan sus puestos de trabajo y cuánto tardan los sindicatos y las empresas en negociar un acuerdo.El presidente de la UAW, Shawn Fain, afirmó que no van a “destrozar la economía”. “La verdad es que vamos a destrozar la economía multimillonaria”, dijo.Y aunque las estimaciones del impacto económico de la huelga no apuntan ...

Von der Leyen heads to Lampedusa as Italy battles migrant surge

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 08:33:57 GMT

European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen will travel Sunday to the Italian island of Lampedusa, as the government of Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni struggles with a surge in migrant arrivals. Eric Mamer, the Commission’s chief spokesperson, said on Saturday that von der Leyen is heading to the island on the invitation of Meloni. The Italian leader on Friday vowed to take “extraordinary measures” to curb the influx of migrants to Italy and called on the EU to help with a naval blockade to stop crossings in the Mediterranean Sea. In a video posted on social media, Meloni promised to take action following a surge of irregular migrant arrivals this week on the Italian island of Lampedusa. The far-right leader said she wrote to European Council President Charles Michel asking to address migration during an October EU summit and also invited von der Leyen to see conditions on Lampedusa.“I intend to reiterate a request for an immediate EU missi...
