GRAPHIC: Video, posted more than an hour ago, shows a police vehicle rolling over someone in Tacoma, WA at 9th Avenue & Pacific. Another video I’ve seen, purported to be from the same scene, shows someone yelling they’re hitting a police car.
This is another video with a different angle of the incident which happened in downtown Tacoma - that is 34 miles southwest of Seattle
Most of the week (including on Inauguration Day) there have been violent protests, with rioters vandalizing businesses. usatoday.com/story/news/nat…
Today, this was announced in Seattle: “People who destroy property during street protests will be arrested and prosecuted under a tighter new policy coordinated with Seattle City Attorney Pete Holmes, interim police Chief Adrian Diaz announced Saturday.” seattletimes.com/seattle-news/c…
A third view of the incident shows people crowding around the police vehicle before it advances into the crowd.
Here’s what Tacoma police told CBS affiliate @KIRO7Seattle: at 6:19pm police were called about vehicles racing. A crowd surrounded 1 police vehicle. Police tell KIRO-TV the officer tried to back up & then go forward, when he did he ran over an individual.
That person who was run over was taken to an area hospital with minor injuries, according to police.

Police tell KIRO TV witnesses reported drivers doing donuts in the intersection.
Multiple angles of the incident show the police vehicle hitting multiple people...running over one person.
Tacoma police now tell CBS News the crowd that gathered at 9th & Pacific Avenue in Tacoma was in excess of 100 people. The crowd was blocking intersections with vehicles. Police say, one officer had lights and sirens on, surrounded by crowd, some banging on windows & trying...
to break windows of his patrol car. The officer involved drove up the road to a point of safety, and other officers responded to the scene to treat the injured civilian.
This is why Tacoma police were called
Notice the foot prints on this Tacoma police vehicle
Statement from the Tacoma police departments interim chief.
I’m not sure what the chief means by “I am concerned that our department is experiencing another use of deadly force incident.” Is he saying that he’s bothered by the officer using the vehicle in a way that could’ve killed someone?” Hopefully, the chief will expound.
The scene is still active in Tacoma
GRAPHIC: this is another eyewitness video

Report: Under the previous secretary of corrections in Puerto Rico, inmates were not provided surgical masks, nor was anyone allowed to deliver them masks, reports @riverasaniel. He quotes the incoming secretary of corrections, under new Governor @pedropierluisi, as saying that.
The inmates are going to be given surgical masks, according to the incoming secretary of corrections.
Inmates were given cloth masks but not the disposable masks. The incoming secretary has said she will provide disposable masks which are better, in terms of protection, especially for inmates who are within closed environments, constantly.

Larry was the King of asking short, soulful questions.
Growing up as a kid, Larry King Live was appointment viewing for me. Getting the chance to work around him was a highlight of my life.
He was game for just about anything, but not everything. His impatience meant interviews were never boring.
Even into his 80s, he was competitive & inquisitive. He and I were having a conversation one day about people he’d love to meet. Best I recall, there was no one.
That’s because he had met, and or interviewed them. I told him I had a dream of meeting @DrMayaAngelou. He said, “you want to meet Maya?” He then reached into his pocket and pulled out his flip phone and dialed someone.

Yvette Nevitt says: “My friend died on June 8, 2020 so it was a few days after that I went to the rosary...”
“... I wore my mask and was surprised to seeThe lady at the reception desk did not have a mask. I went in the room where Del Goodson was and there were quite a few people there I estimated 60 or 70 but maybe just 50...”

Can you imagine what would happen if you did that?
Congresswoman @laurenboebert did it too, according to @GarrettHaake
By the way, the fine will come from his/her paycheck.

A Louisiana broadcasting legend has died after a courageous battle with ALS. Donna Britt read a teleprompter like she was talking off the top of her head. Natural. Graceful. Personable. Charismatic. And always with a little humor. @WAFB is the powerhouse it is because of Donna.
“The best anchorwoman I ever worked with was Donna Britt,” said George Sells, her co-anchor from 1988 to 2012. “I’m talking about aggressiveness, ability to dig out a story on the telephone when nobody wanted to give it to us. … She could write.”theadvocate.com/baton_rouge/ne…
