<a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/police" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Police</a> did not issue a traffic citation to Cedric Richmond, a former senior adviser to President <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/louisiana-legislature-sends-ban-on-child-sex-change-changes-to-governors-desk" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Joe Biden</a> and ex-U.S. congressman, or test him for intoxication despite the high-profile Democrat acting bewildered and slurring his speech after a car wreck in <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/new-orleans" target="_blank" rel="noopener">New Orleans</a>, according to new details about the April 23 incident.
A police report offered insight into a police officer&#8217;s investigation into what happened with Richmond, who <a href="https://www.cnn.com/2022/04/25/politics/cedric-richmond-leaving-white-house/index.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">left the White House last year</a> to become an adviser to the Democratic National Committee, after his Mercedes convertible crashed into an oak tree at an intersection with his young son in the passenger seat of the vehicle.
&#8220;The officer briefly met with (Richmond) and noted slurred speech,&#8221; officer Mark Miranda wrote, <a href="https://www.fox8live.com/2023/06/07/former-rep-cedric-richmond-neither-tested-nor-cited-after-april-car-crash-treme-nopd-says/?utm_source=twitter&amp;utm_medium=social&amp;utm_campaign=snd&amp;utm_content=wvue" target="_blank" rel="noopener">per Fox 8</a>. &#8220;The officer did not detect an odor of alcoholic beverage emanating from (Richmond). Paramedics advised both occupants (of Richmond’s crashed car) were being transported &#8230; for possible injuries sustained in the crash.&#8221;
Miranda said Richmond&#8217;s son was in stable condition but complained of pain along his waistline. The police report added that Richmond had a &#8220;suspected serious injury,&#8221; according to an investigative report by <a href="https://www.nola.com/news/politics/nopd-didnt-test-cedric-richmond-after-single-car-wreck/article_0d5b1d4e-048d-11ee-bea6-830e8f257c8e.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The Times-Picayune</a> and local CBS affiliate <a href="https://www.wwltv.com/article/news/investigations/cedric-richmond-car-crash-new-orleans-no-sobriety-test/289-d2c9bf2b-6a99-40d0-9b26-5a8ee8b3c288" target="_blank" rel="noopener">WWL-TV</a>.
Both victims were transported to a hospital for treatment, Miranda reported. At the hospital, Richmond “was observed in a dazed, disoriented state and advised the officer he could not remember any details regarding the crash. The officer no longer noted slurred speech,&#8221; Miranda&#8217;s report said.
The New Orleans Police Department (NOPD) issued a statement explaining that a citation is issued at the discretion of an officer based on an initial investigation. &#8220;As the incident involved a single-vehicle crash, coupled with the medical condition of the driver and the statement provided by the passenger of the vehicle, no citations were issued,&#8221; the NOPD statement added.
NOPD also said &#8220;there was no reasonable suspicion of intoxication, nor probable cause to conduct tests for impairment&#8221; because Miranda reported that he did not detect any odor of an alcoholic beverage from Richmond.
Miranda attributed Richmond&#8217;s bewildered state to injuries from the crash and a deployed airbag. In addition, the officer reportedly chose not to cite Richmond, in part, because of a statement by Richmond&#8217;s son, who told Miranda the accident happened after an orange Corvette swerved in front of their vehicle and believed the road had been wet. However, Miranda observed in his police report that the road had been dry and a review of footage from nearby crime cameras showed no indication of a speeding Corvette when the crash took place.

Former NOPD Superintendent Ronal Serpas, now a professor of criminal justice at Loyola University, told the news outlets the department should conduct an internal investigation, though he doubts there was a &#8220;coverup.&#8221;

Three activists who help head up an <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/atlanta" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Atlanta</a>-based Left-wing bail fund have been arrested by <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/georgia" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Georgia</a> investigators.  
The Georgia Bureau of Investigation (GBI) and the Atlanta Police Department <a href="https://gbi.georgia.gov/press-releases/2023-05-31/three-arrested-money-laundering-and-charity-fraud-atlanta" target="_blank" rel="noopener">announced</a> Wednesday that 39-year-old Marlon Scott Kautz of Atlanta, 30-year-old Savannah Patterson of Savannah, and 42-year-old Adele Maclean of Atlanta had been charged with money laundering and charity fraud. The arrests come after months of investigations following a <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/35-arrested-in-fiery-atlanta-police-training-site-protest" target="_blank" rel="noopener">fiery riot</a> that took place at the site of an Atlanta police training center in March.
According to the GBI, the arrests were linked to the “ongoing investigation of individuals responsible for numerous criminal acts at the future site of the Atlanta Public Safety Training Center and other metro Atlanta locations.”
Kautz, Patterson, and Maclean help oversee the Atlanta Solidarity Fund, which is used to pay bail for protesters and others who have been arrested. The group <a href="https://www.foxnews.com/politics/atlanta-bail-fund-rushes-support-arrested-cop-city-activists-23-charged-domestic-terrorism" target="_blank" rel="noopener">fundraised</a> for individuals arrested in the wake of a riot that took place at the future site of the Atlanta Public Safety Training, dubbed “Cop City” by critics.
 “We will not rest until we have held accountable every person who has funded, organized, or participated in this violence and intimidation,” Georgia Attorney General Chris Carr <a href="https://twitter.com/Georgia_AG/status/1663919197846482947" target="_blank" rel="noopener">said</a>.
During the March incident, people launched fireworks and threw large rocks, bricks, and Molotov cocktails during the clash, police said, and some construction equipment caught fire. Many were charged with domestic terrorism charges.

Georgia Republican Governor Brian Kemp <a href="https://twitter.com/GovKemp/status/1663943106859786240/photo/2" target="_blank" rel="noopener">also commented</a> on the arrests, saying that he was proud to announce that “those who backed their [protesters&#8217;] illegal actions are also under arrest and will face justice.” 
“These criminals facilitated and encouraged domestic terrorism with no regard for others, watching as communities faced the destructive consequences of their actions,” he added. “Here in Georgia, We DO NOT allow that to happen. Today’s announcement is a reminder that we will track down every member of a criminal organization, from violent foot soldiers to their uncaring leaders.”  
The group itself said that the organizers <a href="https://twitter.com/ATLSolFund/status/1664110983428681728" target="_blank" rel="noopener">were</a> “arrested in an attempt to cut off protestors from legal aid. We remain unafraid and stand strong in fighting to protect civil liberties.”
The unrest in March marked a crescendo in the clashes with law enforcement by anti-police demonstrators and environmentalists after the $90 million training center was approved by the Atlanta City Council in 2021 and construction began in a forested area.

<a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/nypd-responds-to-reports-of-prince-harry-and-meghan-markles-near-catastrophic-car-chase-in-nyc" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Prince Harry</a> and Meghan Markle lost a legal bid in the U.K. on Tuesday that would have allowed the royals to pay for police protection when their family is in Britain.
The London High Court rejected a judicial review involving one of two cases filed by the Duke of Sussex against the Home Office for denying his application to pay for such services, <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2023/05/23/world/europe/prince-harry-security-uk.html">The New York Times</a> reported.
The Home Office argued that it would be improper for the police to be hired as private security guards, the outlet noted.

<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>
The duke and duchess lost their taxpayer-funded police protection when the couple stepped down from their senior royal roles in 2020. They eventually relocated to southern California, where they are raising their two kids, son Prince Archie, 4, and daughter Princess Lilibet, 23 months.
While the royals live in the United States, they are protected by armed bodyguards, but when they are in the U.K., those same guards aren&#8217;t allowed to carry weapons, the outlet noted. The prince has argued that his family needs that extra level of protection while in Britain.
The second case against the Home Office has yet to be heard. It focuses on whether Prince Harry should have his state-sponsored security restored.
The duke first filed the cases in September 2021 after being in the country that year to honor his mother at the unveiling of his mother the late Princess Diana&#8217;s statue. While there, his security was reportedly &#8220;compromised due to the absence of police protection&#8221; while leaving a charity event, and his car was chased by photographers, the <a href="https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2022/jan/15/prince-harry-presses-for-police-protection-to-visit-uk-with-family">Guardian</a> noted.
&#8220;The goal for Prince Harry has been simple — to ensure the safety of himself and his family while in the U.K. so his children can know his home country,&#8221; a spokesperson for Harry told the Guardian.

The court&#8217;s decision comes after a spokesperson for the duke and duchess claimed they were involved in a &#8220;near catastrophic car chase&#8221; in New York City involving &#8220;highly aggressive&#8221; paparazzi. However, the royal&#8217;s narrative has been widely disputed.

Police in <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/north-carolina" target="_blank" rel="noopener">North Carolina</a> got a helping hoof this week when a herd of <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/animals" target="_blank" rel="noopener">cattle</a> aided in the roundup of a suspect on the run.
<a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/police" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Police</a> in the town of Boone, in the western part of the state, pulled the suspect over during a routine traffic stop. The suspect fled the scene, and police were unable to track him down. Fortunately, the cattle were not pleased to have the suspect in their pasture and led police directly to him.
Police recounted the incident in a news release on their <a href="https://www.facebook.com/boonepolice/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Facebook page</a>. On May 9, police pulled the suspect over as part of a routine traffic stop. The suspect fled and led Boone police and Watauga County Sheriff&#8217;s deputies on a street chase. The suspect was driving erratically, so police could not get close to him. The suspect pulled off the highway near an intersection in nearby Deep Gap and fled into undeveloped land.
It was then that the cows came in. &#8220;Apparently cows do not want suspected criminals loitering in their pasture and quickly assisted our officers by leading them directly to where the suspect was hiding,&#8221; the release said. &#8220;The cows communicated with the officers as best they could and finally just had the officers follow them to the suspect’s location.&#8221;
The suspect was charged with 1 count of Felony Fleeing/Eluding Arrest with a Motor Vehicle, Driving with a Revoked License, and Disorderly Conduct. A $20,000 bond was set ahead of his court date. The press release thanked the officers, and the cows, for their assistance.
<div class="xdj266r x11i5rnm xat24cr x1mh8g0r x1vvkbs x126k92a">
<div dir="auto">
&#8220;This opens up all kinds of questions as to the bovines’ role in crime fighting,&#8221; police joked. &#8220;Honestly, it is something that we have not considered before now. As we examine the obvious next steps of incorporating a Bovine Tracking Unit into our department’s law enforcement capabilities there are many factors that we will have to consider:
• How adaptable are cows to a variety of police work or can they just find hiding suspects?
• Are cows more cost-effective than K-9 dogs?
• How will we transport cows to the scenes, and is this compatible with the Town’s sustainability goals in terms of types of vehicles needed and, obviously, are there methane issues?
• Cost of training, vet care, ballistic vests, etc.?&#8221;
&#8220;We at the Boone Police Department are always looking for better ways to serve our community,&#8221; the release concluded. &#8220;We may be a small town; but we are a progressive, forward-thinking law enforcement agency. For rural law enforcement, we want to be the tip of the spear.&#8221;

Also this week, police in rural <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/oklahoma-police-run-toward-to-cries-for-help-coming-from-a-very-upset-goat" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Oklahoma</a> responded to what sounded like cries for help, only to find that the cries were coming from a very upset goat. Body cam footage included with a Facebook post showed two officers responding to what they believed were human cries. “I think that’s a person,” one of the officers says. “That’s a person,” the officer repeats. In the distance, a sound that appears to be someone shouting can be heard; the officers run toward the sound. “It’s a goat,” the officer in front says. The two officers run through some trees and come upon the farm, where the goat can be heard bleating discontentedly, in a way that sounds like “help.” “Aww, it is,” the officer laughs.
The officers walk up to the farmer and explain the situation. “We didn’t know if it was an animal or a person,” the officer says through laughter. “But sure enough, we were walking over here and I’m like, ‘that’s a person.’ From long distance it sounds like ‘help.’”

<a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/police" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Police</a> in rural <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/oklahoma" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Oklahoma</a> responded to what seemed to be cries for help this week. But nobody was bleeding, only bleating.
Police in the city of Enid responded to a report of someone calling for help. Two officers arrived on the scene, where they heard what sounded like a distinct cry for help. They rushed to the source of the sound, only to find that the damsel in distress was more of a nanny; a <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/animals" target="_blank" rel="noopener">goat</a> who was upset he was taken out of his barn.
&#8220;Sometimes a call can really get your goat,&#8221; the Enid Police Department captioned a <a href="https://fb.watch/ktfEeCQcoS/">video</a> on its Facebook page. &#8220;Yesterday, Officer David Sneed and Officer Neal Storey responded to a report of someone heard yelling for help. Upon arriving, the officers began walking toward the faint sound of someone yelling. As they got closer, Officer Sneed could hear a distinct yell for &#8216;help.&#8217; Running toward the sound, the two soon discovered their damsel in distress was a very upset goat, who the farmer explained, had been separated from one of his friends.&#8221;
The video begins with bodycam footage of one of the officers walking along a trail, listening to the sound. &#8220;I think that&#8217;s a person,&#8221; one of the officers says. &#8220;That&#8217;s a person,&#8221; the officer repeats. In the distance, a sound which appears to be someone shouting can be heard; the officers run toward the sound. &#8220;It&#8217;s a goat,&#8221; the officer in front says. The two officers run through some trees and come upon the farm, where the goat can be heard bleating discontentedly, in a way that sounds like &#8220;help.&#8221; &#8220;Aww, it is,&#8221; the officer laughs.
The officers walk up to the farmer and explain the situation. &#8220;We didn&#8217;t know if it was an animal or a person,&#8221; the officer says through laughter. &#8220;But sure enough, we were walking over here and I&#8217;m like, &#8216;that&#8217;s a person.&#8217; From long distance it sounds like &#8216;help.'&#8221;
The Facebook post thanked the two officers for acting swiftly, even if unnecessary in the end. &#8220;All in all, you really can’t say it was that baaad of a call,&#8221; it said.
A goat in <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/ca-mom-sues-county-fair-after-cops-raid-farm-to-seize-daughters-goat" target="_blank" rel="noopener">California</a> was the subject of a lawsuit last month after law enforcement had to track it down. California mom Jessica Long is suing officials from the Shasta County District Fair after law enforcement officials seized a goat that belonged to her daughter. The goat was auctioned off and set to be slaughtered, but Long kidnapped the goat during the fair, forcing officials to obtain a search warrant to get it back.
After a long exchange between Long and County Fair officials in which she refused to return the goat, the Shasta County Sheriff&#8217;s Office filed a search warrant affidavit for permission to seize the goat.
The search warrant said that property had been “stolen or embezzled” and was being held at a farm; it permitted police to “utilize breaching equipment to force open doorway(s), entry doors, exit doors, and locked containers&#8221;; and it listed areas to search, including “[t]he residence, including all rooms, attics, basements, and other parts therein, the surrounding grounds and any garages, sheds, storage rooms, and outbuildings of any kind large enough to accommodate a small goat.”
Long is suing the Sheriff’s office, the county, the fair, and others involved in the slaughter in federal court. It alleges that officials improperly used their authority and connections and wasted police resources by pressing criminal charges instead of handling the matter civilly.

The police officer who took down the <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/authorities-report-some-victims-in-shooting-at-texas-outlet-mall" target="_blank" rel="noopener">shooter</a> at an outlet mall in Allen, Texas, on Saturday made a brief phone call from one of the stores asking for assistance — just before he engaged the suspect himself.
The police officer, whose name has not yet been released to the public, was reportedly already on the scene at the outlet mall — for an unrelated issue — when the shooting started, and he ran into an H&amp;M store to call for as much backup as possible.
According to audio recordings obtained by <a href="https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-12056461/Hero-cop-took-Texas-mall-shooter-call-backup-shot-dead-gunman.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The Daily Mail</a>, the officer ran toward the chaos as he heard it unfolding just outside. Describing the scene to the dispatcher, he said, &#8220;I’ve got people running. There’s still shooting. I need everybody I got.&#8221;
Just a few moments later, however, after engaging the shooter alone, he gave the dispatcher an update: &#8220;I got him down.&#8221;
The next call to dispatch reportedly came from someone else: &#8220;We got victims. I need an ambulance.&#8221;
Allen Police Chief Brian Harvey told the press, &#8220;He heard gunshots, went to the gunshots, engaged the suspect, and neutralized the suspect.&#8221;
The gunman, whose name will not be published pursuant the The Daily Wire&#8217;s policy denying mass shooters the notoriety they so often seek, could be seen on a dashcam video as he exited a vehicle outside the mall and <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/texas-mall-shooting-suspect-was-a-security-guard-his-family-needed-translator-to-speak-to-police-report" target="_blank" rel="noopener">opened fire</a>, shooting at people on the sidewalk with a rifle. He was dressed in tactical gear and fired dozens of rounds before the lone officer ran toward him, shooting and killing him.
Later reports indicated that he was also armed with a handgun and had additional weapons in his vehicle.
Including the shooter, seven people were pronounced dead at the scene — and two more succumbed to their injuries after being taken to the hospital. At least another seven were hospitalized and treated for injuries related to the shooting, and the victims reportedly ranged in age from 5 to 61 years old.

After 11 months in jail for allegedly shooting Detective Dominick Libretti in January 2022, Pizarro was let out in December. Police sources told the Post that Pizarro and Grant were “close friends” and that Pizarro was given approval to work as a livery driver after initially being put on house arrest. 
Sources added that Pizarro, who has former gun-related and drug convictions, had driven not far from Libretti’s home.
“He’s just got free rein of all the boroughs,” a law enforcement source said. “So there’s pretty much no repercussions for shooting a cop.”
Libretti, who was shot in the leg during the drug raid, said that he was shocked when he learned about Pizarro’s reported gig. Libretti spent about a week in the hospital after the shooting and he had reconstructive surgery. 
“How do you not tell me that this guy’s out driving on the freeway,” Libretti reportedly said. “It’s just a slap in the face to the whole job.”

Grant, who won a Super Bowl with the Packers in 2011, grew up in Rockland County New York before attending the University of Notre Dame. He was injured for the majority of the Packers&#8217; 2011 Super Bowl year, but still got a ring as part of the team. 
Pizarro <a href="https://www.silive.com/crime-safety/2022/12/suspect-in-shooting-of-nypd-officer-during-staten-island-drug-raid-posts-bond-for-release.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">was charged</a> with first-degree attempted murder, attempted aggravated murder of a police officer, criminal possession of a firearm, and attempted assault with a weapon. 
He said that he believed his house was being broken into during the police operation. “I thought I was getting robbed,” he reportedly said. “Is the cop going to be OK?”
Lance Lazzaro, who is representing Pizarro, said that the bail had been set too high. 
Only one side of the story has been told so far,” he said. “The bail should never have been that high.”

<a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/law-enforcement" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Law enforcement</a> officials in <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/new-york-city" target="_blank" rel="noopener">New York City</a> met on Thursday to determine whether <a href="http://dailywire.com/topic/crime" target="_blank" rel="noopener">criminal</a> charges should be filed against a <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/marines" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Marine</a> veteran who killed Jordan Neely, a <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/homelessness" target="_blank" rel="noopener">homeless</a> man with an extensive criminal record, after he allegedly threatened passengers on a subway train.
Witnesses said Neely embarked on an aggressive rant in the subway on Monday afternoon, moving erratically and allegedly screaming that he did not care if he went to jail, according to freelance journalist Juan Alberto Vazquez and a <a href="https://nypost.com/2023/05/02/shocking-video-shows-vagrant-being-choked-to-death-on-nyc-subway/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">report</a> from The New York Post. An unnamed individual, a former Marine, subdued Neely with the help of at least one other passenger. The New York City medical examiner <a href="https://nypost.com/2023/05/03/medical-examiner-rules-jordan-neelys-death-a-homicide-after-subway-choking/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">confirmed</a> on Wednesday that Neely died from a “chokehold” and ruled the incident a “homicide,” although criminal proceedings would be necessary to determine intent or culpability.
Manhattan prosecutors and detectives met to evaluate whether the case should be presented to a grand jury to determine if charges should be introduced, according to a <a href="https://www.nydailynews.com/new-york/nyc-crime/ny-possible-charges-marine-michael-jackson-impersonator-jordan-neely-20230504-plaznkv5pjbuxaqdu2tlxpieqq-story.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">report</a> from The New York Daily News. One police source told the outlet that five passengers contacted 911 before and during the altercation. Callers reported that Neely was issuing threats, as well as “harassing people” and “attacking people,” and said that the Marine was restraining him until police officers could arrive. Another caller claimed that Neely had a “knife or gun,” although officers did not find any weapons on Neely, who first responders were unable to revive.
The homeless New Yorker has been the subject of more than one dozen 911 calls over the years; he had schizophrenia and previously told police officers that he heard voices.
Neely has a record that includes 42 prior arrests between 2013 and 2021: while most of the arrests were related to turnstile jumping and other low-level crimes, he was arrested two years ago for punching a 67-year-old female in the face and knocking her to the ground as she exited a subway station, as well as for attempting to kidnap a 7-year-old girl he was seen dragging down a street, according to the report. He pleaded guilty to felony assault over the first incident but never completed his alternative-to-incarceration program, for which he missed a compliance court date in February, and pleaded guilty to endangering the welfare of a child over the second incident and was sentenced to four months in jail.
New York City and other major metropolitan areas have moved to eliminate cash bail or otherwise decrease sanctions for violent offenses in recent years, permitting dangerous individuals to return to the streets.
The report from The New York Daily News added that Neely’s mental decline started in 2007, when his mother was fatally strangled by her boyfriend. Neely’s father, Andre Zachary, told the outlet that Neely subsequently left high school and ceased to take his prescription medications. His autism reportedly presented difficulties as he sought to find steady employment.
The Marine, who was questioned by police officers on Monday and subsequently released, reached the rank of sergeant during his four years in the Marine Corps, officials with the maritime land force service branch told the outlet. He received medals for good conduct, humanitarian and national defense service, and service during the war on terrorism.
He was most recently assigned at Camp Lejeune in North Carolina and served as a rifleman in the Mediterranean. He told the outlet that he was not answering questions at this time.
Public officials have already <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/nyc-mayor-aoc-spar-over-death-of-unstable-homeless-man-at-hands-of-former-marine" target="_blank" rel="noopener">sparred</a> over the incident: New York City Democratic Mayor Eric Adams remarked that the death of Neely underscores the need to assist unwell homeless people, but said there was “a lot we don’t know about what happened here,” while Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) claimed he was not “able to clearly condemn a public murder because the victim was of a social status some would deem ‘too low’ to care about.”

A suspect is still at large after a shooting rocked midtown <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/atlanta" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Atlanta, Georgia</a>, on Wednesday — when a man opened fire at a medical facility, leaving one dead and several others injured.
The suspect has been identified as Coast Guard veteran Deion Patterson, who <a href="https://www.wsbtv.com/news/local/atlanta-police-investigating-active-shooter-incident-midtown/HFIIPRLDQNCVRLLVGRZCPXO6LE/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">reportedly</a> enlisted in 2018 and served as an Electrician’s Mate Second Class and was discharged from active duty in January of this year.

One woman, aged 39, has died from her injuries. None of the victims have been identified.
According to Atlanta Police Chief Darin Schierbaum, the suspect&#8217;s mother was not among those injured in the shooting and she has been cooperating with law enforcement. Schierbaum also noted during a Wednesday afternoon press conference that the suspect had previous but &#8220;limited&#8221; contact with law enforcement in the past.
During and immediately after the shooting, Atlanta Police asked people in the immediate area to shelter in place as they attempted to apprehend the suspect — but as police were first arriving on the scene, he carjacked a vehicle and fled the area. Officials are not aware of any further shots fired since he fled the scene, but have continued to search the area for additional victims.

Suspect Still At Large After Atlanta Shooting, Identified As Coast Guard Veteran

<a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/new-york-city" target="_blank" rel="noopener">New York</a> Police Department officials encouraged residents to place <a href="http://dailywire.com/topic/apple" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Apple</a> AirTags in their <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/cars" target="_blank" rel="noopener">cars</a> to prevent <a href="http://dailywire.com/topic/crime" target="_blank" rel="noopener">thefts</a>.
Grand larceny auto has drastically increased in New York City as the annual number of vehicle thefts in the broader United States <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/car-thefts-in-america-reach-highest-level-in-over-a-decade-analysis-finds" target="_blank" rel="noopener">surpassed</a> one million for the first time in nearly two decades. New York City Democratic Mayor <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/eric-adams" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Eric Adams</a> said at a Sunday <a href="https://www.nyc.gov/office-of-the-mayor/news/300-23/transcript-mayor-adams-makes-public-safety-announcement" target="_blank" rel="noopener">press conference</a> that residents should use AirTags, which are small, disk-shaped devices that attach to keys, bikes, and other items, to help police officers track stolen vehicles.
“This simple device, this simple AirTag, hidden in a car at a location that a person is not aware of is an excellent tracking device. It&#8217;s easy to monitor,” Adams said. “As soon as we are notified about a grand larceny auto, and even if it&#8217;s days later, we can still track the car and find the person who&#8217;s driving and put a break on what we are experiencing in the city with grand larceny autos.”
AirTags presently <a href="https://www.apple.com/airtag/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">sell</a> for $29 and require battery replacement once per year. NYPD Chief Jeffrey Maddrey <a href="https://twitter.com/NYPDChiefOfDept/status/1652759702697017345?s=20" target="_blank" rel="noopener">said</a> on social media that officers would use drones and conventional police work to recover stolen cars with the aid of the AirTag.
Adams revealed that the Association for a Better New York would donate 500 AirTags for residents and added that the city would work with corporate partners to increase access to the technology.
“Your greatest investment is your automobile,” he continued. “It&#8217;s used for many different reasons: to get to and from your place of employment, to drop your children off every day, to deal with any medical procedures you may have.”
New York state witnessed a 23% increase in vehicle thefts between 2021 and 2022, according to a <a href="https://www.nicb.org/news/news-releases/vehicle-thefts-nationwide-surpass-one-million-first-time-2008" target="_blank" rel="noopener">report</a> from the National Insurance Crime Bureau. Thefts have particularly risen for certain Kia and Hyundai vehicles, which lack electronic immobilizers that prevent criminals from bypassing the ignition in cars manufactured by other companies. Viral social media videos have instructed young thieves on how to steal the vehicles, according to a <a href="https://www.iihs.org/news/detail/hyundais-kias-are-easy-targets-amid-boom-in-vehicle-thefts" target="_blank" rel="noopener">report</a> from the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety.
New York City officials have <a href="https://www.nyc.gov/office-of-the-mayor/news/242-23/mayor-adams-city-corporation-counsel-hinds-radix-city-intends-file-suit-against-kia-#:~:text=Due%20to%20the%20absence%20of,thefts%20in%20the%20preceding%20months." target="_blank" rel="noopener">asserted</a> that the increases in Kia and Hyundai thefts are attributable to the companies turning a “blind eye” to the vulnerability.

“We have the right to expect that those cars have standard anti-theft measures,” Adams said last month. “We’re going to hold Kia and Hyundai accountable for the public nuisance they’ve created and protect New Yorkers’ cars.”

A Connecticut state trooper who charged that the State Police Union (CSPU) and Department of Emergency Services (DESPP) demoted him from a prestigious position for refusing to join the union membership and contribute to its politics <a href="https://www.nrtw.org/news/mercer-cspu-settlement-04282023/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">won</a> a $260,500 settlement.
State Trooper Joseph Mercer, whose case was represented by staff attorneys at the National Right to Work Legal Defense Foundation, was appointed Operations Sergeant of the Emergency Services Unit in May 2015. The next month, CSPU President Andrew Matthews filed two grievances targeting Mercer, one stating no “selection process” had been implemented to fill the position and another alleging Mercer had mismanaged an incident involving an armed suspect. In October 2015, Matthews reportedly met with Dora Schriro, then the Commissioner of the DESPP; Schriro subsequently transferred Mercer to an administrative post.
Mercer filed suit in 2016. In May 2022, a district court ordered DESPP Commissioner James Rovella, Schriro’s replacement, to turn over additional discovery.
“We at the Foundation are proud to have defended Sergeant Mercer’s rights and secured him a settlement that vindicates his free association,” National Right to Work Foundation President Mark Mix stated. “However, it’s disgraceful that CSPU union officials targeted Mercer, a dedicated public safety officer, with such a vicious retribution scheme in the first place. Public servants should not have to endure multi-year lawsuits just so they can refrain from supporting union politics they oppose.”
“Situations like these demonstrate why the Foundation-won Janus v. AFSCME decision, which the U.S. Supreme Court decided while Mercer’s case was ongoing, is so important,” Mix added. “As was obvious in Mercer’s case, unelected public sector union bosses often wield their enormous clout over government to serve the union’s private interests over the public interest. That’s why it’s vital that public employees can exercise their First Amendment Janus right to cut off all financial support of union bosses who are contorting government in this way.”
In late June 2018, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled in <a href="https://standwithworkers.org/s/Janus-v-AFSCME-Decision.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Janus v. AFSCME</a> that non-union government workers could not be forced to pay union fees in order to work in public service jobs. Millions of teachers, first responders and other government workers were affected.
Plaintiff Mark Janus <a href="https://libertyjusticecenter.org/cases/janus-v-afscme/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">reacted</a>, “I’m thrilled that the Supreme Court has restored not only my First Amendment rights, but the rights of millions of other government workers across the country. So many of us have been forced to pay for political speech and policy positions with which we disagree, just so we can keep our jobs. This is a victory for all of us. The right to say ‘no’ to a union is just as important as the right to say ‘yes.’ Finally our rights have been restored.”
