The fight for abortion rights & bodycam footage of a Louisiana murder

The Supreme Court announced on Monday that it will hear oral arguments in a Mississippi abortion case – Dobbs v Jackson Women’s Health Organization – which would completely ban the procedure at 15 weeks after the start of a woman’s last period before conception, with no exceptions for victims of sexual assault. 

Now, after a yearlong delay, those long-awaited Summer Olympics are quickly approaching, with the opening ceremony just a little more than two months away. But in Japan, the excitement of eight years ago seems to have been replaced by anxiety.

In newly obtained video footage that relatives have called “horrific,” Louisiana Troopers can be seen dragging, punching, swearing at and tasering Ronald Greene before his 2019 death, which is the subject of a federal civil rights investigation. The footage, obtained by the Associated Press after two years of police refusing to hand it over, shows the 49-year-old black man apologizing for a high-speed chase as officers drag him by his feet, use a stun gun, punch him in the face, and call him a “stupid motherf**ker.”
