AP: States and cities slow to spend federal pandemic money

Many states and cities across the U.S. are getting off to a slow start in spending money from this year's coronavirus relief package championed by President Joe Biden and Democrats.

US slightly revises up its GDP estimate for Q2 to 6.7%

Now that they got it, some state and local officials are taking their time before actually spending the windfall. The government's estimate of growth in the second quarter — its last of three — was up from its previous estimate of a 6.6% annual pace. Thursday’s report from the government showed that the nation’s gross domestic product — its total output of goods and services — accelerated from a 6.3% annual rate in the first three months of the year. Most have estimated an annual rate of around 4% for the current quarter. That would mark a solid bounce-back from a 3.4% annual drop last year, when the economy was in the grips of the pandemic.

Police chief's past sows doubts in wake of Taylor's death

FILE - In this Jan. 4, 2018, file photo, Atlanta Police Chief Erika Shields speaks at a press conference in Atlanta. Louisville city leaders praised Shields, who has been hired to oversee their struggling department in the wake of Breonna Taylor's death, but some critics questioned if she was the right choice after a rocky departure from her previous job. The panel included two Black city council members who have been instrumental in police reforms since Taylor was fatally shot by city officers in March.

The Louisville Metro Police Department has formally fired two of the officers involved in the March police raid that killed emergency medical worker Breonna Taylor. Cosgrove was fired for violating the department's deadly force policy, according to a termination letter obtained by CBS News. In the termination letter, Gentry cited Cosgrove's statements to internal investigators in which he described seeing a "distorted shadowy mass" and "flashes of big light." "The shots you fired went in three different directions, indicating you did not verify a threat or have target acquisition," Gentry wrote. In her letter to Cosgrove, Gentry wrote the detective failed to follow procedure when he didn't activate his body camera.

Police release details of Breonna Taylor investigation

The police files contain conflicting information about when the contacts ended between Taylor and her ex-boyfriend, Jamarcus Glover. Other evidence suggests Taylor and Glover were together in the same vehicle a month before her March 13 death. Louisville Mayor Greg Fischer said it was important to release the police investigation files as quickly as possible, after making “necessary redactions." Much of the information in the files was included in records from the grand jury proceedings released last week, he said. She said she did not believe justice was done in the Taylor case.

Officer charged in Breonna Taylor case pleads not guilty

LOUISVILLE, Ky. – The lone Kentucky detective facing charges related to the fatal shooting of Breonna Taylor pleaded not guilty Monday. The decision not to charge the officers set off protests in Louisville and across the country. On Monday, Louisville's mayor lifted the curfew put in place after people refused to end their nighttime protests. Her response comes after Democratic state Rep. Attica Scott was charged with the felony last week while participating in Louisville protests for racial justice.

Kentucky city prepares for Breonna Taylor announcement

Officials in Louisville were preparing Tuesday for more protests and possible unrest as the public nervously awaits the state attorney generals announcement about whether he will charge officers in Breonna Taylors shooting death. Taylor's shooting has been followed by months of protests in the city. But some involved in protests seeking justice for Taylor questioned why the police were going to such “overkill” lengths when the city has been the site of peaceful protests for months. Large protests over Taylor’s death that at times became violent erupted in late May in the city but most demonstrations since then have been peaceful. Last week, the city of Louisville settled a lawsuit from Taylor’s family for $12 million and pledged several police reforms as part of the agreement.

Police reforms in Breonna Taylor case praised, scrutinized

(AP Photo/Dylan Lovan)LOUISVILLE, Ky. – A settlement between the family of Breonna Taylor and the city of Louisville could bring wide-ranging reforms to how police officers live and work, changes that would represent a rare outcome in a police misconduct lawsuit. And a legal expert noted that even the most wide-ranging of reforms won't succeed if the people entrusted with implementing them aren't onboard. The city of Louisville passed a new law earlier this year, named after Taylor, that bans the use of no-knock warrants. Tamika Mallory is among numerous activists in Louisville who say police reforms will be meaningless if the officers involved in Taylor's death aren't charged.

UPDATE: City to pay $12 million to Breonna Taylor’s mom, reform police

The city of Louisville will pay several million dollars to the mother of Breonna Taylor and install police reforms as part of a settlement of a lawsuit from Taylors family, The Associated Press has learned. Taylor’s death sparked months of protests in Louisville and calls nationwide for the officers to be criminally charged. Crump said the $12 million payout is the largest such settlement given out for a Black woman killed by police. Palmer's lawsuit accuses three Louisville police officers of blindly firing into Taylor’s apartment the night of the raid, striking Taylor several times. The department has also fired Brett Hankison, one of the three officers who fired shots at Taylor's apartment that night.

Breonna Taylor's family argues police had no cause for raid

The mural honors Taylor, a 26-year old Black woman who was fatally shot by police in her Louisville, Kentucky, apartment.

Police arrived at Taylor's apartment about 12:40 a.m. and banged on the door but did not say they were police officers, the suit said.

Impatience grows for cops' arrests in Breonna Taylor's death

(AP Photo/John Locher)LOUISVILLE, Ky. The outcry has reverberated for weeks online and at demonstrations nationwide: Arrest the cops who killed Breonna Taylor. Calls for action against the officers have gotten louder during a national reckoning over racism and police brutality following George Floyd's death in Minneapolis.
