From Amazon’s Ring is once again allowing police access to users’ doorbell footage, reversing a major privacy decision from 2024. The company is teaming up with Axon—maker of police tech like body cams—to relaunch its “Request for Assistance” feature through Axon’s platform. This lets law enforcement request short clips from users during investigations, with users opting in voluntarily.

The footage is encrypted and shared only with consent, and Axon says it won’t disclose who declines. Ring says the goal is safer neighborhoods, but critics warn this could increase surveillance and misuse, especially with AI alerts potentially amplifying bias.

Ring had previously shut the program down after backlash and a $5.8 million FTC settlement over past privacy abuses and employee misconduct. Some Ring employees remain skeptical of the change, worried that users may not fully grasp the implications of sharing their videos with police.

From The MOVE organization was founded in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, in 1972 by John Africa. When members greeted each other, they would say “on the MOVE.”

The MOVE organization spoke about racial and environmental injustice on street corners and protested in front of numerous organizations throughout the city of Philadelphia. During these protests, members were often arrested and jailed.

In March of 1976, while seven MOVE members were returning home from jail, police were called to their residence, claiming they were responding to a disturbance of peace complaint.

A scuffle ensued, and while MOVE member Janine was trying to protect her husband Phil from being beaten by police, she was grabbed and thrown to the ground while clutching her three-week-old baby, Life Africa, in her arms. Janine was stomped on by police until she was nearly unconscious, and baby Life was crushed to death. No officer was ever charged with any crime.
MOVE members reorganized and moved to 6221 Osage Avenue in 1981.

The house was a fortress, fortified with bunkers inside and on the roof. They continued to stage protests and broadcast their messages day and night by bullhorn from the rooftop bunker. Numerous complaints of disturbing the peace, unsafe living conditions, and child endangerment were filed against MOVE from neighbors and federal agencies. Several previous attempts at removal were met with violence by MOVE members.

The city subsequently cut off water and power to the home and stopped picking up their trash, heightening tensions with the organization.

The Justice Department has concluded the 1921 Tulsa race massacre was a “coordinated, military-style attack” as the agency released the findings of its investigation, announced last fall. On May 31 and June 1, 1921, white rioters murdered an estimated 300 Black residents of Tulsa, Oklahoma’s Greenwood neighborhood, known as Black Wall Street, and looted and destroyed their homes and businesses.

The report also states there are no living perpetrators for the Justice Department to prosecute. The last two remaining survivors of the Tulsa race massacre, Viola Fletcher and Lessie Benningfield Randle — both 110 years old — have been seeking justice and reparations for years. Last year, the Oklahoma Supreme Court dismissed their case.

From Lt. Shane Lamond, a D.C. cop tasked with monitoring extremist groups, was found guilty of leaking police secrets to Enrique Tarrio, the national chairman of the far-right Proud Boys militia, in relation to the Jan. 6 insurrection on Capitol Hill—and then he lied about it.

Lamond provided Tarrio with ‘real-time updates’ on the police investigation into the Proud Boys’ burning of a stolen Black Lives Matter banner in 2020, helping Tarrio stay ‘one step ahead of law enforcement,’ according to the prosecutor.

The trial also revealed that Lamond tipped Tarrio off to his arrest warrant being signed and informed him if Proud Boy members would be charged in connection to the insurrection.

The former officer was convicted on one count of obstruction of justice and three counts of making false statements. He’ll be sentenced on April 3, 2025.

From Malcolm X’s daughters have filed a $100 million lawsuit against the CIA, FBI, NYPD, and others, accusing them of involvement in the 1965 assassination of the civil rights leader.

Filed in Manhattan federal court, the lawsuit claims the agencies knew about the assassination plot and failed to intervene.

Attorney Ben Crump, representing the family, called for accountability, urging officials to address the alleged “dastardly deeds” of their predecessors. The suit also alleges suppression of evidence and a government cover-up of its role in Malcolm X’s death.

Malcolm X, born Malcolm Little and later known as El-Hajj Malik El-Shabazz, was killed at 39 in Manhattan’s Audubon Ballroom. While three men were convicted, two were exonerated in 2021 after new investigations revealed withheld evidence and shaky prosecution.

The family says the decades-long uncertainty surrounding Malcolm X’s murder has caused immense and irreparable harm.

From The FBI is investigating the death of Dennoriss Richardson, a Black man found hanging in an abandoned house in Alabama after his wife disputed the Colbert County Sheriff’s Office ruling of su***de. Leigh Richardson believes her husband’s death is connected to a lawsuit he filed against the local police, alleging abuse while in custody. Community members, citing a legacy of racial violence and distrust of local police, shared concerns, with the NAACP and others calling for transparency. Sheriff Eric Balentine hopes the FBI review will provide answers and ease tensions as calls for justice continue.

We’ll continue to follow this story as more comes out as our thoughts are with the Richardson family.
