“Whether it’s the flu or whatever he had, we were just taking real strong precautions with him,” King said. “The protocol following it to a ‘T,’ keeping him away from everybody. We do the same thing if there’s a guy with the flu or the ‘bad-shrimp syndrome.’ I don’t like them around the room … just in case it spreads, whether it’s COVID, flu symptoms or what have you.”
“Even then, the American Civil Liberties Union objected to allowing police wide latitude about whom to stop and pat down. It was clear that a disparate impact in the application of the practice was inevitable,” Sheley wrote. “The intervening years have shown this to be true. … There was a systemic policy of stopping a large number of people, which led to targeting (B)lack people, especially youth, by instructing officers to stop the ‘right people at the right place at the right time.’”
“For a lot of these college quarterbacks right now, this all kind of stems from the high school, it goes to college and the college trickles into the NFL with some of the stuff they do,” Nagy said. “I for sure think that you can see yesterday at certain times in the game that the tempo helps. You can’t necessarily live in it every play for certain reasons. But we can definitely do more of it. I think our players would agree with that. I think our coaches would. And you feel that. At the same point in time, we were moving the ball, too, without going no-huddle. So I think that probably more than anything yesterday I would say that five possessions in the red zone is where we’ve got to be better.”

“It’s challenging, it is,” he said Monday. “Last year was a little bit different because of a condensed schedule, a shortened training camp, trying to get Patrick (Williams) up to speed, not having a Summer League for him. There was a lot of things, and the number of games we were playing, it was so hard to practice. We had some guys go in and out last year, whether it be through COVID or injuries.
Rivian, which has more than 10,000 employees overall, plans to break ground on the Georgia plant next summer and begin producing the “next generation” of EVs by 2024. The plant will employ 7,500 workers with an eventual production capacity of 400,000 vehicles per year, Scaringe said. Until then, Rivian’s ambitions to become the Tesla of trucks will depend entirely on the production output at the Normal plant.
James Robert Elliott, 24, who also goes by “Jim Bob,” was charged in and indictment filed in U.S. District Court in Washington with six counts, including civil disorder, assault of a federal officer, entering a restricted building with a dangerous weapon, and carrying out an act of violence on Capitol grounds.

A gun was recovered from the scene, police said.
