Evolution of a city's account of a killing: How Chicago's narrative changed in the fatal police shooting of Adam Toledo. Here's what city officials said, and when.
The police shooting of Anthony J. Thompson Jr. in Knoxville. In the days since 17-year-old Anthony J. Thompson Jr. was shot by Knoxville police in a high school bathroom, calls for the release of body camera footage are building. Police have shared few details about what happened when police entered the bathroom, and one key part of the story already has changed.

The lawmaker said that he was struck by the contrast between the view of teachers who were strongly in favor of lifting the ban so that schoolchildren could benefit from yoga’s ability to reduce anxiety and depression, and the conservatives who had never tried yoga and who had no direct connection to public schools who were opposing it. “To me you cannot be well versed on something you never experienced.
