NOW: Police in San Juan, Puerto Rico are clearing demonstrators from the pedestal where a statue of Ponce De Leon stood until it was torn down today, the same day Spain’s King arrives in P.R. San Juan’s mayor is having the statue fixed & re-erected today.
The repaired statue has arrived in the back of a truck. The mayor clearly wants it up before the King of Spain’s plane touches a down on the island - @LauraPerezS reports that the King arrived in about 30 minutes.
The King of Spain has landed in San Juan and is now on the ground.

What a split screen: While anthems are being played for the King of Spain, who is on the ground in San Juan, workers are replacing the statue of Ponce De Leon in Old San Juan. It was torn down down this morning by protesters.

The statue is back in place, surrounded by police in riot gear.

President Biden has said in the past: "But I am not joking when I say this, if you are ever working with me and I hear you treat another colleague with disrespect... talk down to someone, I promise you I will fire you on the spot. On the spot. No ifs, ands, or buts.”
H/t: @weijia
Biden went on to say, previously: Everybody... everybody is entitled to be treated with decency and dignity. That's been missing in a big way the last four years.""But I am not joking when I say this, if you are ever working with me and I hear you treat another colleague …

Tuesday on @CBSMornings we’ll take you to South Carolina to see Alan Hawes’ work. He’s a fmr. news photographer who became an R.N.
He treats Covid patients, & now uses his camera to tell their stories.
Nurses have said if only you saw what we see. Tomorrow, you’ll see. 7am. CBS. ImageImageImageImage
He gets permission from patients or family members. It took him about a year & a half, he says, to convince his hospital to let him do this. He says the green light came when he sent one final email titled: public service project.
He wanted to be clear what his intention was.
My colleague/producer, Sean, spent 2 days following Alan. There was one moment where Alan‘s picture did not do the patient story justice. And Alan wholeheartedly agreed. You’ll see what that was, and our video of that moment, tomorrow. ImageImage

The school district released a statement this morning saying that the Luray, Virginia police chief is investigating…”
King started her remarks saying: “I typically come to these meetings with a written statement. I like to sound educated, & when I go off the cuff I get really passionate.
I’m not always able to say exactly what I want to say in the appropriate way…” Watch:

“My whole life just flashed before my eyes” Reporter gets hit by a car on live TV, after which she says it’s her last week on the job.
She says: “I actually by a car in college just like that, too.” 😳
It appears the reporter, @toriyorgeytv, was running her own live shot, being both reporter & videographer, which is dangerous.
Nobody’s watching your back.
Good news: She got a job in Pittsburgh. I hope she doesn’t have to run her own live shots. post-gazette.com/ae/tv-radio/20…

Police in this tiny Alabama town suck drivers into legal ‘black hole’

“‘Brookside is a poster child for policing for profit,” said Carla Crowder, the director of Alabama Appleseed Center for Law & Justice, a nonprofit devoted to justice and equity.’”
al.com/news/2022/01/p…
“Police stops soared between 2018 and 2020. Fines and forfeitures – seizures of cars during traffic stops, among other things – doubled from 2018 to 2019. In 2020 they came to $610,000. That’s 49% of the small town’s skyrocketing revenue.”
