NEWMAN, Calif. (KGTV and AP) - Newman Police Chief Randy Richardson had tears in his eyes Thursday as he talked about the grief in his department over the loss of Corporal Ronil Singh. Singh, 33, was shot early Wednesday morning, a few minutes after radioing that he was pulling over a gray pickup truck that had no license plate in Newman, a town of about 10,000 people some 100 miles southeast of San Francisco. He died at a hospital. Singh was one of 12 Newman Police officers. ¡°My department is hurting,¡± said Richardson at a morning news conference. ¡°We¡¯re not an agency; we¡¯re a family.¡± Watch the news conference:The Stanislaus County Sheriff¡¯s Department took over the investigation from Newman Police, releasing surveillance photos of a man seen at a convenience store just before Singh¡¯s murder. Officials pleaded for information about the attacker's identity from the public, and the California Highway Patrol sent an alert to smartphones Wednesday asking drivers to keep an eye out for the pickup truck. A truck believed to have been the one stopped by Singh was later found in a garage in a mobile home park about 4 miles from the shooting, where law enforcement officers were serving a search warrant, The Modesto Bee reported. Investigators were examining the vehicle, police said.

Earlier in his career, Ronil Singh worked as a deputy with the Merced County Sheriff's Department. "He was living the American dream," said Stanislaus County sheriff's Deputy Royjinder Singh, who is not related to the slain officer but knew him. "He loved camping, loved hunting, loved fishing, loved his family." On his Facebook page, Ronil Singh posted pictures on Christmas Eve from a deep-sea fishing trip that produced a big haul of crabs and fish. His profile picture shows him smiling as he stands at a patrol car with his K9 partner, Sam ¡ª the same photograph of the officer released by the Sheriff's Department. ¡°He will never see his son walk,¡± Chief Richardson said. Outgoing California Gov. Jerry Brown offered condolences to Singh's family and said flags at the Capitol would fly at half-staff in his honor. "Our hearts are with the entire community of Newman and law enforcement officers across the state who risk their lives every day to protect and serve the people of California," Brown said. Singh's canine partner will retire from the department and stay with Singh's family.¡°We need closure. His family needs closure,¡± said Richardson. 2652

NEW YORK CITY ¡ª Defense attorneys are not only calling for two NYPD officers to be fired after body camera video showed them beating a man, shoving him to the ground and macing him, but lawyers are also calling for one of the officers to be charged with felony assault.The video, recorded on May 25, was released on Wednesday.Edda Ness is a Legal Aid Society attorney assigned to represent the man."It's unjustifiable what they did," Ness said. "They should have been fired immediately. This case should've never been prosecuted."Police confronted 30-year-old Joseph Troiano for taking up more than one seat in the mostly empty subway car, a crime that hasn't been prosecuted by Manhattan District Attorney Cy Vance's office since 2016.Troiano was charged by police with resisting arrest and other misdemeanor charges. But the district attorney's office added a felony assault charge after Vance's office determined that Troiano had injured one officer's hand in the encounter. That charge was when the video of the incident surfaced."After a thorough investigation, our prosecutor intended to offer the individual an Adjournment in Contemplation of Dismissal at his next court appearance," a spokesperson from Vance's office said in an e-mailed statement. "The District Attorney was provided with the available footage last night and determined that our office will advance the case for this purpose, dismiss the assault charge, and offer an adjournment in contemplation of dismissal for the remaining misdemeanor charge."The Legal Aid Society called for the officers' dismissal by name."[We're] calling for the two officers, Shimul Saha and Adonis Long, to be immediately fired," Ness said.Officers Adonis Long and Shimul Saha confronted Troiano around 12:30 a.m. on May 25. After Troiano was told to leave the train, he moved to another subway car. Police followed him."Step off the train," one of the officers said in the video. "You're holding up the train for everybody. Step off or I gotta drag you off."Troiano asked them how he was holding up the train, and he refused to get off. When Long reached out for Troiano's arm, the subway rider pushed Long's hand away."Don't touch me," Troiano said. "Don't touch me. Get off of me."Long then repeatedly punched Troiano in the face. The first punch caused Troiano's eyeglasses to fly off his face. Long and Saha pulled Toriano from the subway car, and he was thrown to the ground in the station.One officer pulled Troiano over to a wall while the other kicked his belongings off the train. Police told him to sit down, and then pepper-sprayed him in the face when he didn't immediately comply.Toriano turned to the wall and covered his eyes; he cried and took a few steps away from police, then fell to the ground where he continued to cry. Officers made him stand, but then told him again to get on the floor."Help me," Troiano said as he got down on the ground.Video shows that Troiano, face bloodied, struggled with police while on the floor. Officers pulled at his hair and held a hand on his neck. One of Troiano's shoes came off. He asked to be allowed to stand up."I'm having a panic attack, please," he said. "I'm sorry. Please, guys, you're killing me."Troiano was taken to a local hospital on a stretcher. He was charged by police with resisting arrest, obstruction of governmental administration and taking up more than one seat on the subway.Walter Signorelli, a retired NYPD inspector who's now an attorney who represents clients suing police, pointed out that Troiano first disobeyed an order from the officers, after which Long struck."It's always difficult to second guess an officer," Signorelli said. "The officer might have [first] said, 'You're under arrest,' which would have made everything clearer and more legal."Legal Aid is calling for prosecutors to charge Long with felony assault. Meanwhile, Ness said her client has had emotional challenges since the late May incident."It's a lot of trauma," Ness said.This story was originally published by James Ford on WPIX in New York City. 4069

NEW YORK (AP) ¡ª The American Museum of Natural History is removing a statue of Theodore Roosevelt on horseback with a Native American man and an African man on his sides after objections that it symbolizes colonial expansion and racial discrimination.Mayor Bill de Blasio said Sunday the city supports removal of the statue because it depicts Black and Indigenous people as subjugated and racially inferior.The statue at the museum's Central Park West entrance depicts Roosevelt on the horse with the Native American man and the African man standing on either side.The museum¡¯s president, Ellen Futter, tells the New York Times the decision to remove the bronze statue comes amid the movement for racial justice following the killing of George Floyd.¡°As we strive to advance our institution¡¯s, our City¡¯s, and our country¡¯s passionate quest for racial justice, we believe that removing the Statue will be a symbol of progress and of our commitment to build and sustain an inclusive and equitable Museum community and broader society,¡± said Flutter in a statement. 1072
