Small pipeline, large worries for some S. Carolina residents

Jefferson is one of several landowners protesting the pipeline because they are worried about its potential environmental effects. The proposed 14.5-mile-long (23-kilometer-long) gas line is small in contrast to projects like the recently canceled Atlantic Coast Pipeline, or even a 55-mile-long (88.5-kilometer-long) pipeline Dominion built recently in the state. The company cites new energy demand spurred by economic growth in eastern South Carolina as the impetus for the project. She points to the explosion of a Dominion gas line in Ohio and allegations over pollution involving coal ash in Virginia. Dominion held a community workshop in January at the townโ€™s elementary school so residents could learn more about the proposed pipeline.

Former Texas police officer indicted for murder in Atatiana Jefferson's death

A former Fort Worth, Texas, police officer has been indicted by a grand jury for murder in the death of Atatiana Jefferson, the Tarrant County District Attorney confirmed to CBS News on Friday. Jefferson, 28, was shot and killed in October when Officer Aaron Dean fired through a window. Dean, 35, was arrested in October, but all police shootings go before a grand jury, which issues charges. Dean, who joined the Fort Worth Police Department in April 2018, resigned two days after the shooting and just hours before being arrested and charged with murder. Less than three weeks after Jefferson's murder, and nearly two months before the grand jury decision, the judge presiding over Dean's case David Hagerman issued a gag order surrounding the proceedings.

Police reform moves in fits and starts

"I don't feel like there's been reform throughout policing in this country," said Philip Stinson, a criminologist at Bowling Green State University in Ohio and a former police officer.

The title: " 'Not Dead Yet:' The national police crisis, a new conversation about policing, and the prospects for accountability-related police reform." "But when you look just below the surface there has been an extraordinary burst of police reform, in several separate areas of policing."

Cause for hope and caution following police shooting in home

Jefferson's shooting Saturday in her home is the latest high-profile one in the era of the Black Lives Matter movement, which the fatal police shooting of Michael Brown in Ferguson, Missouri, helped fuel in 2014. The events that followed her shooting have unfolded in ways that are both typical and unique, leaving her family and activists to balance hope with caution. The officer who shot her, Aaron Dean, was taken into custody two days after the killing. Jefferson's family had been calling for an arrest. The officer, Amber Guyger, was fired soon after the shooting and charged with murder.
