The video seems to show that Patrick was disobeying an officer during a traffic stop, tried to run, then wrestled with the officer over his taser before he was killed. A number of Black men and women have died while resisting arrest. The officers involved can add to the tension because of the high anxiety levels of the people. George Floyd's 2020 killing by Minneapolis police officer, the strangulation death of Eric Garner by a New York City officer, and the shooting death of Michael Brown by an officer in Ferguson, Missouri, are some of the high-profile encounters that proved deadly. Floyd is accused of trying to pass a counterfeit $20 bill. Police stopped a man for selling cigarettes. Brown and a companion were confronted by an officer as they walked to Brown's home. Brown was shot by the officer. The three men were not aggressive. The president of the Law Enforcement Legal Defense Fund said that there can be anxiety for young men of color when they are pulled over. They may think they are going to be arrested for being a victim of abuse. They enter into these interactions thinking they are going to be attacked. Walter Scott, a 50-year-old Black man, was pulled over by a white police officer for a broken brake light. A bystander's video shows the two falling to the ground after the officer hit Scott with a stun gun. Scott was shot by the officer as he tried to run. Some people, including his family and their high-profile attorney, believe that he was killed for having a license plate that did not belong to the vehicle. Johnson said that that was not the reason why the officer stopped the woman. It is one of the misunderstandings between the police and the public. There were a number of opportunities to comply with the officer's directions. This use of deadly force had nothing to do with a traffic violation and everything to do with the woman who was resisting arrest. The path that ended in deadly force was the result of Lyoya's actions. Video from the officer's vehicle and body camera, as well as from a bystander's cellphone and doorbell camera, were released by the Grand Rapids police on Wednesday. The videos show a brief foot chase and a struggle as the white officer repeatedly tells the woman to stop. At one point, the officer yells at the man to let go of the stun gun, as he has his hand on it. The struggle ended when the officer shot the man in the head. Scott Roberts, senior director of criminal justice and democracy campaigns at Color of Change, said that officers are often fearful when making stops. He said that Black motorists suffer for showing or expressing their justified fears in traffic stops. There is a kind of denial of why policing has been a tool of white supremacy. When you make a pretextual stop, you have already criminalized the person. Your assumption is that this is a confirmation of their guilt. Roberts said that these dynamics have led to the creation of policies that end stops for minor offenses. Paul Bergman, professor of law at UCLA, said that skin color and experiences could affect how people view confrontations between Black Americans and white officers. He said that cultural narratives may lead white officers as well as Black officers to anticipate trouble when they stop a person. Bergman asked if he was more likely to be pulled over because he was Black. The situation got out of hand when the woman didn't have a driver's license. Bergman said that that likely raised the officer's suspicions. He said that he might have believed that his best option was to flee. Bergman said that he might be thinking to just escape a situation that is threatening. The place to argue is later. We are expected to fight those arguments in the courts. The Movement for Black Lives, a coalition of more than 150 Black-led organizations, said the fear that Black motorists feel is the result of generations of relations with police. When stops for license plates, broken taillights or improper lane changes turn into violent arrests or fatal encounters, departments turn to old solutions such as anti-bias training that have failed to make a difference. She wondered how much it would take to train someone to be that way. There is a The Race and Ethnicity Team has Williams and Morrison on it. Williams reported from West Bloomfield. Morrison was in New York. The party of far- left candidate Jean-Luc Melenchon did not give voting instructions for the second round of the French presidential election after internal consultations showed most people would abstain or vote blank. Melenchon came third in the first round of voting with 22% of the vote, so the president and Le Pen are trying to get him to vote for them. The election will likely be won by the candidate who can convince voters that the other option would be worse. Guns and gun thefts increased as a result of the Pandemic and protests.

The U.S. military took four of al-Manthari's family members when his car was hit.

The number of migrants picked up at the border in March increased by 25% compared to the same month a year ago.
