One of the main reasons that cops flock to communities and stay there is directly tied to the amount of support that community gives them. I'm not sure how many of you were almost murdered at work yesterday. But I know one of my guys was,

The updated warning was published on Jan. 17, but the department noted there were no updates or modifications to risk factors travelers may face on the island. "Violent crime is a risk throughout Jamaica. The homicide rate reported by the Government of Jamaica is among the highest in the Western Hemisphere," the State Department wrote in its advisory, but added "Tourist areas generally see lower rates of violent crime than other parts of the country."

A witness's video shows San Jose police cruisers, sirens blaring, racing toward a busy downtown intersection. Shots ring out. A man authorities said had been in multiple gunbattles with police - and had shot a sergeant in the head - emerges from the driver's side of a police car, then runs from officers before collapsing amid a hail of gunfire.

The biggest driver for PCY over the next 12 months is U.S. interest rate trajectory. When the Fed cuts rates, two things benefit emerging market sovereign debt. First, U.S. Treasury yields fall, making PCY's 6.1% yield more attractive to income-focused investors. Second, rate cuts typically weaken the dollar, reducing the debt servicing burden for emerging market governments that borrow in dollars.

When Ryan Garcia left Canelo Álvarez's camp in 2022, veteran trainer Joe Goossen opened his doors to "King Ry" and worked with him in Chula Vista, not only on his boxing skills but also on his mental game. At the time Goossen described him as a 23-year-old who was "becoming a man" ahead of the fight that the Mexican American easily won against Emmanuel Tagoe. Goossen also worked with García on his knockout victory over Javier Fortuna.

Microsoft (NASDAQ:MSFT)'s $170 million Air Force cloud contract signals the massive defense modernization wave reshaping Pentagon technology buying. While Microsoft grabs headlines, the real winners are companies building hardware that protects American interests: fighter jets, missile systems, submarines, and bombers. These aren't software plays - they're steel, titanium, and composite fiber companies with decade-long backlogs and bipartisan budget support. We ranked the top five defense and aerospace stocks based on profitability margins, operational efficiency, balance sheet strength, and positioning in the defense modernization cycle.

Arbitration hearing rooms are notorious for their unpredictability. Lawyers who have argued cases have left the room convinced they'd made airtight arguments -- and lost. Others were despondent in the aftermath, certain of defeat, and emerged victorious. Which is to say that whatever approach Tarik Skubal's team takes in trying to convince a three-person panel that he's worthy of the $32 million he's seeking instead of the $19 million the Detroit Tigers are offering, the ultimate result is a crapshoot.

Geraldo Lunas Campos died Jan. 3 following an altercation with guards. U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement said the 55-year-old father of four was attempting suicide and the staff tried to save him. But a witness told The Associated Press last week that Lunas Campos was handcuffed as at least five guards held him down and one put an arm around his neck and squeezed until he was unconscious.

Taiwan's President Lai Ching-te has spent his first year in office warning that time is running out to prepare for a possible conflict with China. In the past two months alone, he has proposed a sweeping special defense budget and backed a landmark $11 billion U.S. weapons purchase meant to strengthen the island's deterrence. But his commitments are colliding with Taiwan's domestic political reality.

At a press conference in late 2025, federal officials made some big claims about leucovorin, a prescription drug usually reserved for people on cancer chemotherapy. "We're going to change the label to make it available [to children with autism spectrum disorder]," said Dr. Marty Makary, commissioner of the Food and Drug Administration. "Hundreds of thousands of kids, in my opinion, will benefit." The FDA still hasn't made that label change. Since Makary's remarks, though, more than 25,000 people have joined a Facebook group called Leucovorin for Autism. Most members appear to be parents seeking the drug for their autistic children.

President Trump sued JPMorgan Chase and chief executive Jamie Dimon on Thursday, seeking at least $5 billion in damages over allegations that the country's biggest bank closed his account for political reasons. The lawsuit follows through on a threat Trump made on his Truth Social network over the weekend and caps several days of escalating tensions between the president and one of the most powerful CEOs in the United States.

A former flight attendant accused of posing as a pilot and working airline employee fooled three U.S. carriers into giving him hundreds of free tickets over a span of four years, federal authorities say. But precisely how he is alleged to have done it - and why the airlines wouldn't have caught on sooner - has industry insiders scratching their heads.

A Massachusetts man and woman were arrested and charged Wednesday in connection with a scheme to defraud banks in the state by fraudulently withdrawing more than $1 million, according to the office of Leah Foley, U.S. Attorney for Massachusetts. William Shaw, 67, of Boston, was indicted on four counts of bank fraud and four counts of aggravated identity theft, according to a statement from Foley's office.

After four days of jury selection, opening statements began in Las Vegas court Tuesday in the trial of Nathan Chasing Horse, an actor and self-proclaimed spiritual leader accused of abusing Indigenous girls and women for over two decades. Chasing Horse, who's best known for playing a character named Smiles a Lot in the 1990 Oscar-winning western Dancing with Wolves, was arrested in North Las Vegas in January 2023 following months of investigation into alleged sex crimes he'd committed in Clark County.
