Accused gunman Amuri Greene was allegedly targeting the baby's rapper father, Jamari Patterson, when he fired into a crowd in Williamsburg on April 1, killing little Kaori Patterson-Moore.

Reifschneider said he tries to think about a moment when he helped someone, even if it's something mundane like pulling up behind a driver who ran out of gas. He's encouraged his fellow police officers to also reflect on a good deed.

The hacking group appears to have exploited vulnerabilities in a system used by the Los Angeles city attorney's office, enabling the group to make off with nearly 340,000 files.

Sean Grayson, 31, was convicted in October of second-degree murder for the fatal shooting. On Thursday, he received the maximum sentence of 20 years in prison. During sentencing, Grayson apologised, saying he wished he could bring Massey back. His lawyer had asked for a sentence of six years. I made a lot of mistakes that night. There were points when I should've acted, and I didn't. I froze, he said during the hearing. I made terrible decisions that night. I'm sorry.

Oakland's Community Police Review Agency - a civilian-run bureau that investigates allegations of police misconduct - has appointed a new executive director. Antonio Lawson, who most recently served as the agency's interim executive director, officially assumed the role on Feb. 17, Police Commission Chair Ricardo Garcia-Acosta announced in a press release Thursday. The Community Police Review Agency, widely known as CPRA (pronounced "sip-ruh"), is the investigative arm of the Police Commission, a civilian and volunteer body tasked with overseeing the Oakland Police Department.

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 Justice Department has opened a civil rights probe into Pretti's fatal shooting by federal immigration officers. However, the Trump administration has said there is no need for a similar probe into Good's death. Minnesota officials launched legal steps soon after Pretti's killing in an effort to stake their claim to investigate, including obtaining a search warrant and suing to "vindicate their right to access evidence."

Yet while "Abolish ICE" serves as a unifying chant in the streets, Democrats are once again seeking to temper and co-opt people's demands into a narrow version of reform. The demands outlined by Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer could not be more toothless: requiring ICE agents to unmask, wear body cameras, and to follow a code of conduct modeled on other law enforcement agencies.

The siege of Minneapolis represents a fitting, if foreboding, capstone to the first year of President Donald Trump's second term. Since returning to office one year ago, Trump has pursued no goal more passionately or persistently than breaking the ability of blue jurisdictions and their leaders to resist him. In the process, he is straining the nation's fundamental cohesion in ways that may escalate beyond his control.
