The Houston Astros fired assistant general manager Brandon Taubman on Thursday for directing inappropriate comments at female reporters during a clubhouse celebration, announcing the decision in the middle of the World Series and putting a renewed spotlight on domestic violence in baseball.Astros general manager Jeff Luhnow apologized for the team’s initial response Monday, which was to accuse a Sports Illustrated reporter of making up the story.“That original reaction by the Astros was wrong, and we own it as an organization,” Luhnow said during a news conference at Nationals Park, a day before Game 3.“There were many people involved in reviewing that and approving that. And I’m not going to get into the details of that. ... But regardless of who wrote it and who approved it, it was wrong. It was incorrect. It should never have been sent out. We’ve learned a lesson about it,” he said.Taubman had apologized Tuesday for using language that was “unprofessional and inappropriate” in the Astros clubhouse following Saturday night’s pennant-clinching victory over the New York Yankees.SI reported Taubman repeatedly yelled toward a group of female reporters about closer Roberto Osuna, who was suspended for 75 games last year for violating MLB’s domestic violence policy and then was traded from Toronto to the Astros.Taubman shouted “Thank God we got Osuna!” according to SI, which said he made similar remarks several times, punctuating them with a profanity. Taubman’s behavior was corroborated by reporters for The Houston Chronicle and Yahoo.After an investigation by Major League Baseball and the Astros, Luhnow met with Taubman on Thursday and fired him before the team traveled to Washington in what Luhnow termed “a pretty tough conversation.”Taubman did not respond to a text from The Associated Press seeking comment.Houston’s initial statement Monday claimed SI tried to “fabricate a story where one does not exist” and maintained Taubman’s comments weren’t directed at reporters. Luhnow said he was among the Astros officials who saw the statement before it was issued.“There’s nothing about that first statement that was correct or that’s defensible,” Luhnow said. “The original impression that we had, without doing an investigation — and that’s our fault for not doing the investigation — was that it was two colleagues talking who were overheard and the comments were not directed at anybody in particular, not meant to be mean-spirited in any way or offensive in any way, just supportive of the player who had had a bad night.”“But as we continued to investigate, it was clear that they were intended to be heard. And they were completely inappropriate,” he said.Luhnow said the Astros decided Wednesday “that we were going to take action unilaterally ahead of Major League Baseball making any recommendations.” He said Taubman’s behavior did not indicate a wider problem in the Astros’ front office.“This is not something that’s endemic. This is not a cultural issue,” he said. “We have a lot of really good people in our front office, in our coaching staff, and our team.”Houston apologized to the SI reporter, the magazine and people who saw the incident, and to those who were offended.“The Astros are very committed to using our voice to create awareness and support on the issue of domestic violence,” the team said in a statement.Astros manager AJ Hinch has been critical of Taubman’s behavior since the SI report came out.“I continue to be disappointed and just sorry it happened,” Hinch said.A 2007 graduate of Cornell with a degree in applied economics, Taubman worked for Ernst & Young and then as an analyst in the equity derivatives group of Barclays Investment Bank before he was hired by the Astros as an analyst in June 2013.He was promoted to manager of baseball operations before the 2014 season, director of baseball operations in October 2015, senior director of baseball operations in August 2017 and assistant general manager in September 2018, tasked with major league administrative functions and oversight of analytics and pro player scouting. The Astros announced a contract extension on Sept. 30 and a wider role as assistant general manager, player evaluation.“He’s been a valuable employee. We hired him over five years ago, he’s moved up quickly in the organization,” Luhnow said. “He’s smart. He’s hard working. And these comments that he made were out of character. He hasn’t had this type of incident before. This is not a repeating pattern of anything, which is why it was so easy for us to believe that it was more innocent than it turned out to be.” 4630

The device looks similar to a taser, but acts more like a lasso with more and more police officers are adding it to their belt.“It will, much like a boomerang, wrap around the individuals extremities and prevent the individual from moving,” Los Angeles Police Department Chief Michel Moore said.LAPD is the most recent, and largest, police department to test the product. And their officers have to go through four hours of training to use it.“How could we provide the best tools and best options so officers would not have to resort to force, particularly deadly force,” Moore explained.Dozens of police departments around the U.S. are testing or have purchased the remote restraint device, including Sacramento, California, Fort Worth, Texas, and Minneapolis, Minnesota to name a few.“This tool is meant to be used early on in an encounter without causing pain to an individual,” Wrap Technologies Chief Operating Officer Mike Rothans said. He is a retired assistant sheriff with two children who work in law enforcement. The device works by releasing a cord that wraps around a person 20 to 25 feet away. On the end, there are metal anchors. The cord comes out of the device at 513 feet a second. At 10 feet, it drops to 270 feet a second.The devices costs ,000 a piece and are per use.“All you feel is maybe a metal slap from the anchors around each end of the cord. But it doesn’t really cause any pain,” Rothans said.Not everyone is convinced.What happens when someone’s in shorts or they’re in a skirt? What if they accidentally get someone’s neck?,” Cat Brooks, Co-founder of the Anti-Police Terror Project, explained. APTP is a coalition that works toward ending police terror.“We need to be transforming the way law enforcement engages with our community, not what weapons they have to be able to do so,” Brooks said.Rothans explained that one scenario the BolaWrap can be used in, is in the case of confronting someone dealing with a mental health problem.“Basically the issue with the mentally ill or dealing with people in crisis, isn’t unique to one particular area in the U.S.. It’s the same issue we see in small towns in Minnesota, or big cities like New York or Los Angeles,” he said. “Police officers have really become the de facto social services”People with severe mental illness are involved in at least one in four fatal police shootings, according to a study done by the Treatment Advocacy Center.“There’s really no reason to send a badge and a gun into that situation when you can send a mental health professional,” Brooks said.For officers, Rothans says this is a safer option that buys the responder some time.“This restricts their mobility and slows that individual down to allow officers to put a plan into place,” he explained.“There’s no perfect scenario or perfect formula,” Moore said during his press conference announcing the use of the device. 2899

The House Judiciary Committee is prepared to vote next week on a resolution laying out the procedures for its investigation now that it is actively considering moving to impeach President Donald Trump, a major step toward formalizing its sweeping probe, according to multiple sources familiar with the effort.The vote, which is expected to occur on Wednesday, will lay out the ground rules for conducting hearings now that the committee has publicly announced it is considering recommending articles of impeachment against Trump. It is expected to follow the precedent set in 1974 over the committee's procedures during then-President Richard Nixon's impeachment proceedings.Sources told CNN on Friday that the resolution is expected to spell out that Chairman Jerry Nadler, a New York Democrat, has the authority to call hearings at either the full committee or subcommittee level in connection with its impeachment deliberations.The resolution, sources say, is expected to make clear that future House Judiciary hearings can be conducted in ways different from most congressional hearings since the panel is considering impeachment. For instance, the resolution is expected to authorize committee staff counsels to question witnesses, something that is typically not done at congressional hearings.The resolution also will spell out how secret grand jury information can be reviewed in classified sessions. And it will say that the President's counsel can respond in writing to the committee.The exact legislative language is still being drafted and could be introduced as soon as Monday. The committee Democrats discussed the matter on a Friday conference call, 1677
