Mississippi’s attorney general said Monday that the police officer who killed a 1-year-old in June was justified in firing into the car the child was riding in. Officers on the scene had said they fired because the car drove toward them. But video that surfaced a day after the attorney general’s announcement appears to show the officer firing three more shots into the side of the car, after it was no longer headed at him. Kohen Wiley was in the car with his mother, Vellesiya Wiley, and her friend Latoya Ferrell, who was driving away from officers after the women were accused of shoplifting diapers at a Walmart in Senatobia, Mississippi. The officer who was placed on leave after the shooting had twice been accused of directing racially offensive language at coworkers, including two days before the shooting. The police chief who took no action on either complaint was fired in September over racist text messages. The Mississippi Bureau of Investigation said officers responded to a shoplifting call at the Walmart on June 14 and saw two women and a child leave the store quickly and get into a car. When officers tried to stop the vehicle, the bureau said, the driver drove toward them, “almost striking” one, and an officer fired into the vehicle. The video of the shooting was first published by Mississippi news outlet Darkhorse Press and includes body-camera clips from two responding officers, though not the one who fired, and Walmart surveillance footage. The footage shows the gray sedan reversing into a parked SUV as officers run toward it. Officers surround the car and the driver lurches left, appearing to head toward at least one officer before passing between two of them. At least one officer opens fire as the car approaches; the officer appears to then fire three more times while standing to its side. Those side shots line up with the family’s independent autopsy, which found Kohen Wiley was struck from the side. His mother, Vellesiya Wiley, was holding him in the front passenger seat while her friend, Latoya Ferrell, drove. She has denied that Ferrell tried to hit officers, telling NBC News, “They was all on the right side, and she was driving towards the left.” Officers confronted the women over a reported shoplifting, but neither has been charged. In a video released by her attorneys, Vellesiya Wiley said her friend paid for the diapers at self-checkout, the Mississippi Free Press reported.

California’s Prop 40 could pass next month and still never take effect, because a few billionaires put two other measures on the same ballot to cancel it out. Prop 40 is a one-time 5% tax on Californians worth more than a billion dollars, with 90% of the money going to health care. Google co-founder Sergey Brin alone put more than $100 million into the group funding both countermeasures. If either gets more votes than Prop 40 on November 3, the tax doesn’t take effect. Should one ballot measure be able to cancel out another? Follow Straight Arrow for news that is free of bias, manipulation, and agenda.

Christina Applegate has announced that she was misdiagnosed with multiple sclerosis (MS). While many people in her life are celebrating the news, she feels like she's "back at square one." Applegate and her podcast co-host spoke with Dr. Marwa Kaisey, a neurologist at Cedars-Sinai, who said MS misdiagnoses are fairly common. Because MS is diagnosed using a set of clinical criteria rather than a single definitive test, the process can be subject to error. Research suggest nearly 1 in 5 people may have been misdiagnosed. But a reversed diagnosis doesn't make the systems disappear. So what happens when doctors rule out the disease you've spent years believing you had? And where does the search for answers begin? Read what Dr. Kaisey says comes next at the link in our bio.

During a press conference announcing a new program to encourage citizens to report government fraud, President Trump had a tense exchange with members of the media. The Independent’s White House correspondent Andrew Feinberg questioned Trump about the new Fraud Whistleblower Incentive Program, which promises citizens who report government fraud 1% of the money recovered, according to Reuters. Feinberg asked why whistleblowers would receive a smaller share than they could under the existing False Claims Act, which also rewards people who report fraud, according to The Independent. This led to Trump asking Feinberg, “Who are you?” Feinberg then identified himself and his publication. When Feinberg attempted to ask another question, Trump warned him, “I don’t know who the hell you are, but you better be careful,” as seen in a video posted to the White House’s official YouTube page. Feinberg later tried to ask another question, prompting Trump to ask whether he was a “sick person.” Feinberg wrote in an article on The Independent that he mistakenly thought Trump kept pointing to him "but on each occasion he had apparently intended to call on the Agence France-Presse reporter directly behind me. Because from my vantage point he was pointing directly at my face, I started to speak up." JD Vance posted the exchange to X with the caption "President Donald J. Trump eviscerates imbecile “journalist” Andrew Feinberg for misbehaving in the Oval Office..." Compare headlines by political bias rating with Unbalanced Headlines. Don't be manipulated.

Republican Vivek Ramaswamy is defending a controversial attack ad featuring his Democratic opponent Amy Acton’s estranged mother, who accuses her of lying.

Federal aviation rules still say the airline is primarily responsible for keeping its planes airworthy. So now when one breaks, whose fault is it?

Washington D.C.'s public golf course closes November 15th for a 15-month rebuild into a championship course. Two days before Trump posted the redesign, Justice Department lawyers told a federal judge the plan wasn’t final, and after the post they said that hadn’t changed. The Park Service gave notice it would cut up to 529 trees minutes before courts closed for the holiday weekend, and at least 430 were down by the end of the next day. Today Trump called the judge a “crazed lunatic” and said Interior has an “absolute right” to do the work. Does a court order mean anything if the work happens first and the consequences come later?
