¡¡¡¡For 22 years, Derick Waller protected and served in New York City as a member of the New York City Police Department. He joined the NYPD in 1995, starting out as a street cop, but he eventually became a detective.¡°I absolutely loved being a police officer,¡± said Waller. ¡°I loved helping with their problems, and I was fortunate to work in the communities of color, which I thought I could serve best.¡±While Waller enjoyed the comradery with other officers, serving in his hometown communities and helping people in need, there were things about the job he didn¡¯t love and didn¡¯t agree with.¡°The police department is basically a business, like you work at Macy¡¯s you have to sell. Once you become a police officer, you have to bring in bodies,¡± said Waller.Bodies, he explained, is a term many officers use to describe when an officer makes an arrest and brings someone in to be booked and processed.¡°Let¡¯s say you have the company commander of your precinct, he basically gets promoted based on how many arrests he gets,¡± Waller added.On the surface, that may not seem concerning, but what Waller witnessed was some officers over-policing, especially in communities of color, for the purpose of promotions, higher pay, or because of pressure to fill unofficial quotas.¡°There are so many amazing officers that just want to do right, but with that pressure on them, how can they?¡± asked Waller.Toward the end of Waller¡¯s career, he began speaking up about arrest and citation quotas. He made his concerns public on what they were doing to officers¡¯ mentality and the community.He believes what happened to him is a prime example of why so many officers around the country are concerned to speak up when they see another officer potentially doing something wrong or the department implementing questionable policing practices.¡°A lot of officers want to speak out, but they are so afraid of the retaliation that the police department is going to come after them,¡± said Waller.After Waller spoke out, he went from being named Officer of the Month to being written up and ridiculed.¡°I would come back after my days off my locker would be flipped over; they put a big rat poster on your desk, all kinds of stuff,¡± Waller recalled.Breaking through, the often referred to ¡°blue wall of silence¡± made the last few years of his career tough, but he left the job still hopeful that improvements with policing could come.¡°There are many officers who love the job and there are good officers, more than not,¡± said Waller. ¡°Right now, the definition of a good officer is the one who brings in those arrests. If we can change the definition, then maybe we can change the mentality of the police department.¡±Waller¡¯s definition of a good officer is one who is respected but not feared in their community. 2796
¡¡¡¡For students at Jackson Memorial Middle School in Ohio, Tuesday wasn't a normal day. When a seventh-grade student pulled out a gun and shot himself, students began to panic. Airyonna Haggerty, who is a sixth grader at the school, described the moment teachers told her to get inside the classroom.The 12-year-old heard teachers screaming to get inside the classroom and the next thing she knew, she was hiding and crouching down with her fellow peers near the teacher's desk."I dropped everything. My phone, my chrome book, my book bag and me and my friends ran into the classroom and then we all hid. We were probably there for about 20 minutes," said Haggerty.The principal of the school knocked on the classroom door and told the students and teacher that everyone had to go to another class."We started gathering our stuff and went into the hallway. Then we went to go open the door and it was locked," said Haggerty. "We heard people banging on it so we ran and we got scared."RELATED: Father of Jackson Township student says he put body armor in son's book bag over the weekend7th-grader shoots himself at Jackson Memorial Middle School in Stark County 1192
¡¡¡¡Former President George H.W. Bush's family intentionally planned a state funeral for him that will avoid criticism of President Donald Trump despite the long-running animosity between the two families, The Washington Post reported Monday night.Trump and Bush's son, Jeb Bush, engaged in a vitriolic primary rivalry during the 2016 campaign, and Trump has mocked and criticized the legacies of both Presidents Bush. A funeral that avoids criticizing Trump would be in contrast to the September memorial for Sen. John McCain, which was marked by implicit references to Trump and his behavior as president.The Post, citing a former administration official, said that the Bush family contacted the White House this past summer to make it clear that the President would be welcome at the funeral and, according to the paper, to "assure him that the focus would be on Bush's life rather than their disagreements."PHOTOS: President George H.W.

Trump and rival Joe Biden were forced off the campaign trail in March as the coronavirus began to spread in earnest throughout the US.The CDC still recommends against large gatherings of 250 people or more,, and some states are still seeing an increase of coronavirus cases. One of those states is Arizona, where the state¡¯s governor has told hospitals to prepare to go over capacity as the state is seeing a surge in coronavirus-related hospital stays.Trump¡¯s announcement comes on the heels of reports that the Republican Party is planning on moving its convention to Jacksonville, Florida, from Charlotte, North Carolina, as the state¡¯s governor would not commit to lifting a ban on mass gatherings at the time of the August event. 1092
