Cop fired for his role in the killing of Sean Monterrosa will be reinstated by Vallejo Police

Published Mon, 03 Mar 2025 23:23:00 GMT

Former officer Jarrett Tonn is being reinstated to the Vallejo Police Department nearly a year after being fired for his role in the killing of Sean Monterrosa in June of 2020, says the Monterrosa family attorney. The reinstatement comes after the firing was overturned on Aug. 18.“His reinstatement is demonstrative of Vallejo’s lack of accountability and vice-like grip the Vallejo Police Officer’s association has on the citizens,” Monterrosa family attorney Lee Merritt said of Tonn, who killed Monterrosa during a night of civil unrest in 2020. “The people of Vallejo deserve better. The family of Sean deserves better.”Merritt called the decision, “appalling” and said Tonn’s behavior “has fractured the Vallejo community.”According to Tonn’s lawyer Joshua A. Olander, Tonn has been reinstated with full back pay. Olander said the decision was issued after an evidentiary hearing and represented the second determination by a neutral hearing officer that Detective Tonn’s use of deadly force...

How to figure out which food is best for your pet

Published Mon, 03 Mar 2025 23:23:00 GMT

Walk into any pet supply store and you’ll see a dizzying array of food choices for our pets. Dry or canned? Dehydrated or fresh? Grain-free? Vegan? It can be a bit overwhelming, especially considering that up until about 20 years ago, there were only a handful of options and most people simply bought pet food while shopping at the grocery store.On one hand, it’s a real sign of progress in how we care for our pets that we have so many choices. More and more pet parents are recognizing the importance of feeding their pets healthy food and valuing them as individuals with different needs and taste preferences. On the other hand, with almost $29 billion a year in sales in the United States alone, we can’t ignore the fact that the pet food industry is big business, which means we need to be as educated as possible about what’s best — and what won’t needlessly break the bank.First, just like with human food, it’s good to try to steer clear of artificial colors and flavors, added hormones ...

Norfolk Southern is recovering from a hardware-related technology outage that shut down its system

Published Mon, 03 Mar 2025 23:23:00 GMT

NEW YORK (AP) — Norfolk Southern railroad is recovering from a “hardware-related technology outage” that impacted its rail systems Monday, but there may be lingering effects for at least a couple of weeks.

In a 143-page report this month, the Federal Railroad Administration said that Norfolk has made some improvements, but is nowhere near the “gold standard for safety.” The railroad is too often only willing to meet minimum safety requirements, regulators said.

Published Mon, 03 Mar 2025 23:23:00 GMT

YAOUNDE, Cameroon (AP) — Despite being sent home from last year’s World Cup, Manchester United goalkeeper André Onana has come out of international retirement to be in the Cameroon squad named Tuesday by coach Rigobert Song.Onana was selected in a 24-player squad for an African Cup qualifying game against Burundi on Sept. 12. Cameroon needs only to draw the home game to advance to the tournament, which starts on Jan. 13 in Ivory Coast.Onana said he was ending his international career last December at the age of 26. He was dropped after starting Cameroon’s first game at the World Cup in Qatar — a 1-0 loss to Switzerland — in a disagreement over team tactics with Song, who said players needed to “show discipline and respect.”Cameroon then drew 3-3 with Serbia and beat Brazil 1-0 but did not advance to the round of 16.Onana, however, said last year: “Cameroon remains eternal and so does my love for the national team.”___AP soccer: https://apnews.com/hub/soccerSource
