French activists protest racism and police brutality while officers are on guard for key events

Published Mon, 10 Mar 2025 06:51:55 GMT

PARIS (AP) — Families, community groups and far-left activists marched in cities around France on Saturday to decry racism and police brutality, putting authorities on edge at a time when French police are deployed en masse for a string of high-security events.Lingering anger over the killing by police of 17-year-old Nahel Merzouk in June was an impetus for Saturday’s protests, but they included groups with disparate demands for immigrants’ rights, affordable housing and economic justice. More than 100 marches were planned around France, and Interior Minister Gerald Darmanin ordered special police vigilance.Tensions briefly flared at the largely peaceful, boisterous protest in Paris. Members of the crowd smashed windows of a bank along the march route, and police evacuated the rattled employees. At another spot, protesters surrounded a police car and an officer darted out, waving his gun.Some 30,000 police and gendarmes were working Saturday to keep order for a visit by Pope F...

Published Mon, 10 Mar 2025 06:51:55 GMT

(The Hill) – Dallas Mayor Eric Johnson announced Friday that he is switching his party affiliation and becoming a Republican, citing disconnects with the Democratic Party on crime policy.Johnson announced the switch in an op-ed in The Wall Street Journal. It makes Dallas the largest city in the country with a Republican mayor, passing neighboring Fort Worth.“Today I am changing my party affiliation. Next spring, I will be voting in the Republican primary,” Johnson wrote. “When my career in elected office ends in 2027 on the inauguration of my successor as mayor, I will leave office as a Republican.” Why Gavin Newsom says he’s not running for president in 2024 Though he wrote that the switch may come as a surprise to many, few Dallas Democrats appeared to be shocked by the move.

Lynx believe player development, not roster reconstruction, is path to championship contention

Published Mon, 10 Mar 2025 06:51:55 GMT

One day after the Lynx’s season ended in a Game 3 loss to Connecticut in the first round of the WNBA playoffs, coach and general manager Cheryl Reeve said players and coaches alike could walk away from the season with their heads held high, knowing they gave everything they had.“As a team, I think what we’re pleased about is that we maximized the group,” Reeve said. “I think we squeezed everything we could.”Frankly, that’s not really up for debate. That a team prognosticated at the season’s outset to finish in the bottom third of the league dug itself out of an 0-6 hole to not only make the playoffs, but push a top-three team such as the Sun to the brink of elimination equates to a remarkable season that exceeded any outside expectations.But those expectations are sure to elevate heading into 2024.“Now those same people go, ‘Oh, wait, Napheesa Collier is a top-five player in the league.’ Kayla McBride had a really fine season for us, and the expectation is Diamond Miller is go...
