Beschrijving

A grieving family sues Fort Lee police after officers fatally shot Victoria Lee during a mental health crisis, despite her brother’s explicit request not to involve law enforcement. The lawsuit alleges excessive force, unlawful entry, and disability discrimination, claiming officers ignored de-escalation protocols and broke into her apartment without an immediate threat. The attorney argues the first officer saw no danger and that the forced entry agitated Lee, triggering the deadly outcome. Though no criminal charges were filed, the civil case holds officers accountable under different legal standards, highlighting how well-known protocols were ignored—even before new statewide rules were enacted to prevent such tragedies.

Newark Flood Watch: Rain, Roads, and Risks | Newark News

Newark’s gearing up for a major weather blowdown—expect heavy rain and gusty winds dumping several inches from Monday night through Thursday, with flood risks high. Public safety crews are already deploying barriers on known flood zones like Meeker Ave and McClellan St, but drivers brace for delays and detours. Past flooding hotspots including Clay Street and McCarter Highway are likely to repeat history. The Flood Watch kicks in Tuesday morning and ends Wednesday—peak rain’s coming then, but the whole week’s soggy. Stay alert, plan ahead, and stay safe.
