White taking on six fig kickbacks for ‘violence interrupters’. No wonder why DC is such a crime infested S hole. The council blocks police from doing their job so people like white get $156k bribes to install violence interrupters that do nothing.

Harris campaign's Google ads rewrite news headlines
The Harris campaign has been editing news headlines and descriptions within Google search ads that make it appear as if the Guardian, Reuters, CBS News and other major publishers are on her side, Axios has found.
Why it matters: It's a common practice in the commercial advertising world that doesn't violate Google's policies, but the ads mimic real news results from Search closely enough that they have news outlets caught off guard.
- According to Google's ad transparency center, the Trump campaign isn't running these types of ads, but this technique has been used by campaigns before.
- The ads say that they are sponsored, but it's not immediately clear that the text that accompanies real news links is written by the campaigns and not by the media publication itself.

COOK COUNTY - Politicians don't always like to hear from the public.
But some south suburban residents say controversial Thornton Township Supervisor and Dolton Mayor Tiffany Henyard took extraordinary—and possibly illegal—steps to prevent them from speaking at a public meeting Tuesday night.
The sign outside Thornton Township's office in South Holland reads, "Welcome to Thornton Township. People working with people." But when residents showed up Tuesday night to speak at a public board meeting, they got anything but a warm welcome.
"When I arrived there was security here," said Stephanie Wiedeman, a former township employee and frequent Henyard critic. "He was standing at the bottom of the stairs preventing anybody from going up to the boardroom. I asked him if the meeting was downstairs, he replied yes."
Wiedeman and a handful of other residents wanted to speak directly to Supervisor Tiffany Henyard, who has generated controversy for spending hundreds of thousands of tax dollars on trips, police security, billboards, and her own personal charity.
"I'm just curious to see who makes the decisions about how our tax dollars are being spent," said Thornton Township resident Paul Robertz, who also tried to attend the meeting. But they never got that chance.
After being blocked from going to the boardroom upstairs, the residents were sent to the basement where they were told the township board meeting would be held. It wasn't. They say they asked for a signup sheet for public comment and never got it. And before they knew what had happened, the four-minute meeting upstairs was over and Henyard was gone, without hearing from her constituents.
"They are violating our rights," said Wiedeman. "I pay taxes here. I have a right to get up and speak whether this administration likes it or not."
