Hill died at the hospital, and her daughter was left motherless at just one year old. The horrific episode — captured on a Chicago police surveillance camera and “one of the most tragic videos I had ever seen,”...

A progressive New York lawmaker has been blasted for describing uniformed NYPD cops taking the subway as a “frightening show of intimidation” and “a massive health risk” — then liking a tweet comparing the group of officers to Nazis. Democratic Assemblywoman Yuh-Line Niou, who represents parts of Lower Manhattan, made the eyebrow-raising comment Monday in response to a video showing mostly maskless officers in a Midtown Manhattan subway station following the Friday funeral for slain NYPD Officer Jason Rivera...

Now it's dealing with yet another year of surging murders, shootings, riots, homeless encampments, mass looting and violent criminality. In early December, the Portland Police Bureau announced that it would only be...
