A Columbus thug shot Andre Hill, who was wielding a phone at the time. Hill died later that day. Hill was black, so racism may have played a role in the thug's haste to shoot.

The killer did not activate his body camera, but it saved a video anyway. The chief of the department excoriated the killer for wildly disregarding rules, and fired him.

What can be done to prevent other thugs from killing other (usually black) men? Prosecuting the killer is called for, if his action included a crime. But that doesn't seem to teach thugs much of a lesson.

Is it possible to use empathy teach the other cops not to be thugs? They could meet with Hill's relatives, to listen to them and empathize with their loss. Then the department could show them how the killer's unacceptable handling of the situation was to blame for that loss.

Does anyone know whether this approach is effective?

Bolsonaro plans to build a road through a national park in Amazonia.

This will inevitably speed deforestation — and there is only a small way to go before the entire Amazon forest dies and becomes grasslands.

Rep. Clyburn says his investigation has found evidence of a pressure campaign to undermine the CDC's public information about Covid-19.

This would have been part of the wrecker's effort to spread the sickness as much as possible.

Facebook will move to the US a large amount of profit that it has kept in Ireland(and paid hardly any tax on).

It will pay insufficient tax on these profits in the US, too, but more than in Ireland.

The article uses the bogus term "intellectual property", which is always confusing and vague. The concrete referent in this case is not very concrete. It refers to artificial excuses that Facebook has created to make various parts of Facebook pay royalties to the part in Iceland. This is how Facebook moves its profits to Iceland where they are not taxed much if at all.
