Crime and public safety | virginia beach sergeant’s lawsuit claims he was demoted for speaking against discrimination.

Michael Banks first filed his lawsuit in March in U.S. District Court in Norfolk, naming the city and several members of the police department as defendants. He submitted an amended complaint this week in which only the city was listed as a defendant.

“We understand that when a City employee has a workplace concern it can cause emotional reactions and attract media attention,” Virginia Beach spokeswoman Tiffany Russell said in an email to The Virginian-Pilot. “However, both the City and this officer deserve the due process and fairness that the law and the litigation process allows, and we encourage everyone to withhold judgment while this process unfolds. We accordingly decline to comment further at this time.”

Banks said in his filing he’s been a member of the Virginia Beach Police Department since 1997. He was promoted to master police officer in 2003, sergeant in 2016, and had been on the lieutenant promotion list, the complaint said. In 2021, he was assigned to the internal affairs bureau, in which he investigated complaints against fellow officers.

In June 2021, Banks said a Black police lieutenant asked if he’d be willing to speak with an African American probationary police officer who was concerned she wasn’t getting the same training support as her white peers, the lawsuit said. Banks was known to be an antidiscrimination advocate and informal mentor to minority recruits within the department, the complaint said.

The probationary officer told Banks about “challenges” she was having with her trainer, a Black male officer, at the third precinct, the complaint said. Banks reached out to the precinct’s training supervisor about those concerns on two separate occasions — which the lawsuit described as a legally protected activity — but the conversations were “cut short” both times.

Banks also contacted the training officer and made it clear he wasn’t acting in any official capacity, and only wanted to discuss the woman’s perceptions of being treated unfairly, the complaint said.

Banks later learned the officer filed a complaint against him in which he alleged Banks had abused his authority, and that he felt coerced to pass the probationary officer in the training process. The woman, however, didn’t successfully complete the process, according to the document.

The training officer’s complaint against Banks led to a series of events, including an investigation resulting in Banks being transferred out of internal affairs, having his access to police headquarters cut off, being demoted from sergeant to master police officer and having his pay cut, the lawsuit said.

During the process, Banks sought multiple meetings with department leaders, and filed complaints with the city’s human resources department and the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, in which he alleged he’d been subjected to a hostile work environment due to race and retaliation.

The EEOC issued Banks a right to sue in federal court late last year. In addition to compensatory and punitive damages, Banks seeks to be returned to the rank of sergeant, and promoted to lieutenant.

National News | Justice Alito flew upside-down US flag, ‘Stop the Steal’ symbol, after 2020 election: report

A photo of the upside-down flag, which was reportedly seen at Alito’s residence in Alexandria, Va., in January, was obtained by The New York Times and included in the article published Thursday.

It’s currently unclear how long the flag was displayed outside his home.

“I had no involvement whatsoever in the flying of the flag,” Alito told The Times. “It was briefly placed by Mrs. Alito in response to a neighbor’s use of objectionable and personally insulting language on yard signs.”

This discovery is likely to intensify calls for the 74-year-old justice to step back from several major cases currently before the court, including one surrounding whether Trump can claim immunity in the Jan. 6, 2021 attack on the U.S. Capitol.

Alito is considered one of the court’s most conservative justices and played a large role in the overturning of Roe v. Wade in 2021.

In the aftermath of the 2020 election lost by former President Donald Trump, some of his supporters adopted an upside-down U.S. flag as a symbol of their “Stop the Steal” movement, which falsely claimed President Biden stole the contest.

Justice Clarence Thomas has also faced calls for recusal in election-related cases after his wife admitted to supporting efforts to challenge the election results, as well as attending Trump’s rally before the Capitol attack.

Thomas dismissed the accusations against him as “nastiness” and “lies” during a recent conference in Alabama.

Both Thomas and Alito have come under scrutiny for allegedly failing to disclose certain trips and expenses during their time on the highest court in the land.

Seattle region reports largest number of homeless people ever

SEATTLE — More than 16,000 people were reported to be experiencing homelessness on a given day in King County in the 2024 Point-in-Time Count.

That is the largest number ever reported in Seattle and King County using the biennial snapshot, which is required by the federal government.

“We understand the magnitude of this issue is significant,” said Callie Craighead, spokesperson for Seattle Mayor Bruce Harrell.

The number marks a 23% increase in homelessness from 2022, the last time the comprehensive count was conducted. Unsheltered homelessness, in particular, has dramatically increased, from 7,685 people in 2022 to 9,810 this year — a 27.7% increase.

Sheltered homelessness also increased by 15.7%, growing to 6,575 people.

The data, released Wednesday, was collected by the Regional Homelessness Authority, which is in charge of overseeing the county’s response to homelessness. This count is required every two years by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development.

“The system is serving more people with more efficiency, but the displacement into homelessness is growing at a faster pace than the response system,” said Darrell Powell, interim CEO for the Regional Homelessness Authority. “Simply put, there’s a need for more resources.”

This year-after-year increase in homelessness shows “the number of people experiencing homelessness is directly tied to a lack of housing options in our region, and it’s only increasing,” according to Kristin Elia, spokesperson for King County Executive Dow Constantine.

According to this year’s count, homelessness continues to disproportionately affect communities of color, especially Black residents, who make up 19% of King County’s homeless population and just 7% the county’s population, according to the 2020 U.S. census. People who identify as American Indian, Alaskan Native or Indigenous were reported this year to make up 7% of the county’s homeless population, while only representing 1% of the county population.

The Regional Homelessness Authority is atypical in how it conducts the unsheltered count. For the last two counts, since it took over the data collection, the authority has used a methodology known as respondent-driven sampling.

Before the authority became involved with the count, volunteers used to span out across the county during one day in January to use their eyes and ears to knock on RVs and greet tent dwellers to try to count as many people as they could find living outside.

For years, the federal Point-in-Time Count has been criticized by many for its inaccuracy, with the key complaint being that there’s no way people will be able to find and count everyone living outside on a given day — and that it just reflects a one-day snapshot rather than showing a population over time.

Meghan Henry, who directed last year’s federal Point-in-Time Count report for the firm Abt Associates, told The Seattle Times in December that Point-in-Time data is “very likely an ‘at least’ amount.”

“I don’t think anyone should be surprised, and I hope everyone takes this year’s data to heart because clearly the need is growing and already we are not responding adequately to the needs of people in our community,” said Alison Eisinger, executive director of the Seattle/King County Coalition on Homelessness.

Even though the snapshot is rising significantly compared with years past, the county and state have other methods for counting that estimate the region’s homelessness crisis to be much higher.

For example, the authority prefers to cite calculations by the Washington State Department of Commerce showing that 53,000 people experienced homelessness at some point in 2022.

Additionally, the Regional Homelessness Authority has been criticized for changing its method of counting.

Some experts say switching methods of counting, or making slight changes to them, can make year-over-year fluctuations difficult to compare, according to previous reporting by The Seattle Times.

Chief Seattle Club argued that the count in 2022 didn’t adequately reach Native people. And some advocates said people living in their cars were undercounted.

Staff reporter Greg Kim contributed to this report.

2 dead, 2 injured in early morning explosion at a rural Ohio home: Reports

Two people have died and two others were injured after a home exploded in Ohio, according to local reports.

WTVG reported that authorities on the scene said a woman and young boy were pulled out of the home and were taken to the hospital for their injuries. The bodies of two others − a man and a girl − were found later in the morning.

Authorities have not released the ages or identifies of any of the people in the explosion, and the cause of the explosion is still under investigation.

USA TODAY has contacted the Wauseon Fire Department for more information.

Woman found living in Michigan grocery store sign, complete with computer and Keurig, for months

A woman was found living in the rooftop sign of a Family Fare grocery store in Michigan and had been there for about a year, police said.

Police in Midland were notified about the woman living in the small space that hosts the supermarket’s sign on April 23 after contractors working on the roof found her there.

The woman had flooring, a computer, a desk, a printer, a Keurig and a pantry of food in the space, which was 10 to 15 feet long, five feet wide and approximately 8 feet tall at its highest point, according to the Midland Police Department.

"We made contact with her and she was advised she was not allowed to live there," said Brennon Warren, a spokesperson for the Midland Police Department. "She was formally trespassed from the store and was provided with information on services within our area, however, she did not wish for any of those."

The woman, who police are not identifying, left without incident. Police found that she'd been living in the space for approximately one year, but it's not clear how she was getting up onto the roof.

She was not formally charged for living in the space, police said.

REPORT: The 49ers Will Play the Kansas City Chiefs Week 7

Grant cohn | 14 hours ago.

• San Francisco 49ers

We've known for months that the 49ers will face the Kansas City Chiefs at home next season. Now we know when they'll face each other.

The 49ers and Chiefs will play Week 7 at Levi's Stadium -- that's Oct. 25 at 1:25 p.m. Pacific Time. The 49ers will be coming off a Week 6 Thursday night game against the Seattle Seahawks, so they will have a couple extra days to rest and prepare for the Chiefs, which is critical because the 49ers never have beaten Patrick Mahomes.

They've faced him four times -- twice in the regular season and twice in the Super Bowl -- and lost all four games. The 49ers haven't come close to beating him. So another loss this year would be discouraging.

Fortunately for the 49ers, the Chiefs weren't particularly dominant in the regular season last year. They lost to the Broncos and the Raiders -- two bad teams. They also lost to the Eagles just a few months after beating them in the Super Bowl. The Eagles thought they were the team to beat in the NFL after taking down the Chiefs in the regular season last year. Then the Eagles completely fell apart.

So the 49ers have to make sure not to build up this game against the Chiefs too much. It's an important game, and losing it would sting, but winning it wouldn't necessarily prove anything. It's just a regular season game. As long as the 49ers are healthy, we know they'll make it to the playoffs. What they do after that is the real question.

Grant Cohn has covered the San Francisco 49ers daily since 2011. He spent the first nine years of his career with the Santa Rosa Press Democrat where he wrote the Inside the 49ers blog and covered famous coaches and athletes such as Jim Harbaugh, Colin Kaepernick and Patrick Willis. In 2012, Inside the 49ers won Sports Blog of the Year from the Peninsula Press Club. In 2020, Cohn joined FanNation and began writing All49ers. In addition, he created a YouTube channel which has become the go-to place on YouTube to consume 49ers content. Cohn's channel typically generates roughly 3.5 million viewers per month, while the 49ers' official YouTube channel generates roughly 1.5 million viewers per month. Cohn live streams almost every day and posts videos hourly during the football season. Cohn is committed to asking the questions that 49ers fans want answered, and providing the most honest and interactive coverage in the country. His loyalty is to the reader and the viewer, not the team or any player or coach. Cohn is a new-age multimedia journalist with an old-school mentality, because his father is Lowell Cohn, the legendary sports columnist for the San Francisco Chronicle from 1979 to 1993. The two have a live podcast every Tuesday. Grant Cohn grew up in Oakland and studied English Literature at UCLA from 2006 to 2010. He currently lives in Oakland with his wife.
