Op-Ed: Why mass shootings stopped in 2020 — and why they are now roaring back

Mass shootings, which had become far less frequent in 2020, have come roaring back. The question we were asked repeatedly during 2020 was why mass shootings had dropped off so dramatically. But a key factor in why there were no mass shootings that met our definition for about a year, between March 2020 and March 2021, was the COVID-19 pandemic. Many of the settings where mass shootings typically occur — workplaces, schools, churches, shopping centers — had either shut down or sharply reduced their capacity. This means that psychosis played some role in 30% of mass shootings, but no role 70% of the time.

Woman who lost loved one in police shooting pushing for answers amid formation of DA’s new civil rights division

SAN ANTONIO – A San Antonio woman who lost a loved one after he was shot and killed by San Antonio police says Bexar County needs to invest more in community resources like education, housing and health. Police said Zemault had his finger on the trigger, and another detective fired one round into Zemault’s back, killing him. Bexar County District Attorney Joe Gonzales announced the formation of a civil rights division that will handle shootings by officers. The district attorney’s new civil rights division will include two prosecutors, an investigator and a victim advocate. The new division will be investigating shootings, in-custody deaths --including those that may occur at the Bexar County Jail -- and excessive force cases.

Cops: 14 injured after shooting outside Chicago funeral home

First Deputy Superintendent Eric Carter said mourners outside a funeral home in the Gresham neighborhood were fired upon from a passing vehicle. The victims were taken by the Chicago Fire Department to nearby hospitals in serious condition, said spokesman Larry Langford. It wasnt immediately known if anyone other than attendees of the funeral were victims, nor if anyone in the SUV had been wounded. The shooting comes as the Department of Homeland Security is planning to deploy dozens of federal agents to Chicago to deal with an uptick in violent crime in the city. Oregons governor and Portlands mayor have expressed anger with the presence of the federal agents, saying that the citys protests had started to ease just as the federal agents started taking action.

Police contracts can stand in the way of accountability

Seattle police showed up in force earlier in the day at the "occupied" protest zone, tore down demonstrators' tents and used bicycles to herd the protesters after the mayor ordered the area cleared following two fatal shootings in less than two weeks.

Police contracts can stand in the way of accountability

Collective bargaining agreements for officers provide protections that stand in the way of accountability, even when the federal government is overseeing an agency through a consent decree, experts said. Contracts designed to ensure officers receive fair wages and benefits have spilled over into public policy. These examples bolster the hypothesis that some union contract provisions may impede effective investigations of police misconduct and shield problematic officers from discipline, Rushin said. The city entered into a settlement agreement, or consent decree, the following year and passed an accountability measure for additional oversight. One Seattle officer who benefited from the union contract in recent years was Cynthia Whitlach.

US nears 100,000 pandemic deaths: Does Trump feel your pain?

Now there is another, a still-growing American casualty list that has exceeded deaths from the Vietnam and Korean wars combined. Actual deaths from COVID-19 are almost certainly higher than the numbers show, an undercount to be corrected in time. It is well beyond what he told people to expect even as his public-health authorities started bracing the country in early April for at least 100,000 deaths. Unlike his emotional vice president, Joe Biden, Obama practiced his own kind of social distancing, to the point of aloofness. This, too, is not Trump's way.

How many mass shootings must we endure?

It seems like after every mass shooting, Americans mourn, but then go back to business as usual. Now, one year after the shooting at a church in Charleston, South Carolina, a victim's brother says he'll never stop fighting for change. Steve Hartman met him "On the Road."
