In 2018, an officer unleashed his dog on an unarmed Black man, severing his femoral artery, killing him

Body-cams captured it.

But Montgomery, Ala. police won't release the footage

The family fought to see it

This is what it shows

This is extraordinary work. Congrats to Liz Moughon and the entire ProPublica Pittsburgh Post-Gazette team who worked on this! It's no wonder Bloomberg put this on its 2023 Jealousy List! bloomberg.com/features/2023-…

At least Paul Trible was consistent. As president of Christopher Newport University for 26 years, the ex-senator's policies drove out nearby Black residents, and reduced the numbers of Black students and faculty. Read the latest in our 'Uprooted' series: propublica.org/article/christ…

Almost from the start, when maryam مريم jameel and I first began interviewing immigrant dairy workers in Wisconsin, we heard about injuries and what happened after. Today, we published our first of two stories on how workers are cast aside after they get hurt: propublica.org/article/wiscon…

Wisconsin’s celebrated dairy industry would almost certainly collapse without the immigrants who do the dirty, dangerous work that farmers across the state say U.S. citizens won’t. But when these workers get hurt, the laws are stacked against them. propublica.org/article/wiscon…

Chris Cole's accident cost him his legs, his livelihood and the future he'd envisioned. But that wasn't all. While in the midst of a long, difficult and ongoing physical recovery, he has also been fighting for nearly four years to prove the accident wasn't his fault:

Railroader Chris Cole lost both his legs when a train ran over him.

Even though the company knew he'd never work in railroading again they suspended him for 30 days anyway.

“Reprehensible.”

“A culture of retaliation.”

“Pattern and practice of willful misconduct.”

“There is no justice for employees injured on the job.”

A train machinist was wearing his company-issued safety gloves when one got caught in a lathe, snapping bones from his forearm down.

He lost 2 fingers.

The RR fired him.

I want to tell you a story about body cameras and *Derek Chauvin*

What Chauvin did to George Floyd, kneeling on his neck, was his move.

He had done to others.

It was all recorded by body cams.

But the footage was kept secret.

And Chauvin was left unpunished

Keep seeing nostalgia for 'Remain in Mexico' for maintaining order. This is another example of the fallacy that if something seems cruel it must be effective. Here's how 'orderly' it was: families got separated bc of bus transport. propublica.org/article/women-….

We talked to more than 100 child roofers around the country for this story, including 12 year olds. Something that shocked me is that even as more kids get hurt and die, GOP states are pushing to legalize roofing for minors. Florida is debating a bill and Iowa already passed one.
