The ACLU Is Suing D.C. Police for Their Brazen Mistreatment of Inauguration Protesters

The ACLU Is Suing D.C. Police for Their Brazen Mistreatment of Inauguration Protesters

A Los Angeles police officer was arrested on suspicion of having unlawful sex with a 15-year-old member of the cadet program, and may have had knowledge of the alleged theft of police cruisers and other equipment by cadets in recent weeks, Chief Charlie Beck said Thursday.
Beck said he personally arrested Officer Robert Cain, 31, a 10-year veteran of the department, at the LAPD's 77th Street Division on Thursday.
Investigators learned of the sexual misconduct allegations Wednesday, as part of a larger review of the theft of three LAPD cruisers and other supplies that was revealed last week.
The victim, identified only as a 15-year-old girl, was one of the cadets involved in the thefts, Beck said.

A hotter planet might make hurricanes more destructive

In October 2016, Hurricane Matthew killed more than 550 people and caused $15 billion in property damages. The most powerful storm to hit the Caribbean and Southeastern United States in a decade, it whipped winds up to 160 miles per hour and pushed a 10-foot surge of seawater onto the coast. Unfortunately, Matthew might be more of a harbinger than an outlier. Based on computer models and historical records, many climatologists think that warming oceans might make storms like Matthew more common. Research suggests that a hotter planet might create the perfect weather conditions for forming these exceptionally strong, dangerous tropical cyclones.

Pumas, panthers terrified of humans

Humans fear predators like mountain lions, but what we often fail to realize is how much they may fear us. After all, humans hunted and extirpated the animal from most of the United States, while fatal puma attacks on humans are rare.
New research shows that the pumas—also known as panthers, cougars, mountain lions or catamounts—immediately flee large deer prey that they’ve killed, upon hearing humans. In a study to be published June 21 in the journal Proceedings of the Royal Society B, scientists show that their response to the sound of human voices is immediate and lasting.
