Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 03:59:03 GMT

PHOENIX — The Warriors head into Tuesday’s game against the Phoenix Suns with very few bright spots to soak up and plenty of issues to sort through.It’s only December, but in the standings they are on the outside looking into the playoff picture. The season is young enough that Golden State has time to situate themselves nicely in the standings with a good string of wins. But three numbers from their 10-12 start show where they’ve fallen behind and how they haven’t fallen to NBA pits yet.1. -22This Warriors team is built on the presumption that the four-time champion core can fend off age and still beat the lot. That’s meant coach Steve Kerr rolling with the same starting five that carried them to the playoffs last year: Steph Curry, Klay Thompson, Andrew Wiggins, Draymond Green and Kevon Looney. This five-man group had a +22.1 net rating that was among the league’s best, according to Cleaning the Glass, and outscored opponents by a total of...

North Carolina officer who repeatedly struck woman during arrest gets 40-hour suspension

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 03:59:03 GMT

A police officer who repeatedly punched a Black woman during an arrest in North Carolina last month was suspended Tuesday after authorities released new video of the encounter that showed a broader view of what happened than bystander footage shared on social media. Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police Chief Johnny Jennings told reporters at a news conference that Officer Vincent Pistone received a 40-hour suspension after an internal affairs investigation determined that he used excessive force during the Nov. 13 confrontation. The probe determined that six other officers involved were justified in their actions. The newly released body camera and bystander videos show different angles and what led to the encounter at a Charlotte bus stop that sparked public outrage. They show that the woman struck an officer in the face and that he responded by hitting her back and knocking her off her feet. Pistone, who was not the officer involved in that initial exchange of blows, is seen on the video ...

With Ukraine aid in peril, Zelenskyy pleads his case on Capitol Hill and at the White House

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 03:59:03 GMT

WASHINGTON (AP) — His country’s future at stake, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy used inspirational words, optimistic resolve and a nod to Christmas in appealing Tuesday to leaders in Congress for U.S. aid for his fighters in the war with Russia. But after hours of talks on Capitol Hill, additional American support appeared in grave doubt as Zelenskyy arrived at the White House to huddle with President Joe Biden. The U.S. has already provided Ukraine $111 billion since Russian President Vladimir Putin launched his grinding invasion more than 21 months ago, but Republicans are insisting on linking any more money to strict U.S.-Mexico border security changes that Democrats decry. The White House is warning that if new money isn’t provided by year’s end it will have swift consequences for Ukraine’s capacity to hold its territory, let alone take back land captured by Russia. Biden, speaking at an early evening news conference with Zelenskyy, warned that f...
