FBI Director Comey, speaking at Georgetown University in Washington, D.C., noted that most police calls for service come from poor, minority communities.The country is "at a crossroads" on matters of race relations and law enforcement.But black or white, he said, “criminal suspects routinely lie about their guilt, and the people we charge are overwhelmingly guilty. ... That makes it easy for folks in law enforcement to assume that everybody is lying and that no suspect, regardless of their race, could be innocent.”

“Black lives matter, Hispanic lives matter,” the crowd called, adding the phrase that became synonymous with protests in Ferguson: “Hands up, don’t shoot.”The rally was led by members of the Zambrano-Montes family, who chanted “El pueblo unido jamás sera vencido” (“The people united will never be defeated”).“The government of Mexico deeply condemns incidents in which force is used in a disproportionate manner, even more so when that use of force leads to loss of life,” the ministry said in a statement.“These unfortunate events cause damage to the community and erode trust in the authorities.”

Witness Ben Patrick told the Tri-City Herald that police fired at the man as his back was turned.'I really thought they were just going walk up and tackle or Taser him,' he said. 'But they opened fire. His back was turned.'

In seeking authorization for his six-month-old military campaign against the Islamic State terrorist group, President Obama on Wednesday did something that few if any of his predecessors have done: He asked Congress to restrict the ability of the commander in chief to wage war against an overseas enemy.The proposed legislation Mr. Obama sent to Capitol Hill would impose a three-year limit on American action that has been conducted largely from the air and, while allowing Special Operations commandos and other limited missions, would rule out sustained, large-scale ground combat New york Times

Republican Gov. Bruce Rauner on Monday issued an executive order that aims at absolving state workers who don’t want to join a union from paying fees that support collective bargaining.Under state law, employees can decline to join a union but are still on the hook for “fair share” fees related to collective bargaining and contract negotiations. The idea is that if all employees are getting the benefits from a new contract, everyone should contribute to the cost.

“Government union bargaining and government union political activity are inextricably linked,” Rauner said. “As a result, an employee who is forced to pay unfair share dues is being forced to fund political activity with which they disagree. That is a clear violation of First Amendment rights and something that, as governor, I am duty-bound to correct.”Chicago Tribune

"To understand recent responses to police violence against people of color, one must take a global and historical viewThe problem requires a broad approach, not confined to just the punishment of individuals, she said. Racism is not the product of an individual decision, but is produced by factors such as the war on terror and the militarization of the police, “Especially when you consider the fact that the majority of people in prison are there because society has failed them, because they have no access to education, to jobs, to housing, to health care”  Dr. Angela Davis
