Quick Glance: USC Main Commencement Canceled Amid Gaza War Protests

Protests against the Israel-Hamas war prompt the cancellation of USC's main graduation ceremony and numerous arrests at campuses nationwide.

Universities are grappling with protests that could disrupt upcoming commencement ceremonies and are considering changes to regulations regarding encampments and exams.

Some students demand schools sever ties with Israel, leading to accusations of antisemitism and concerns about safety on campus.

The wave of protests, inspired by events at Columbia University, has led to civil rights investigations into universities facing protests and complaints of discrimination amidst the Israel-Hamas conflict.

Second paramedic involved in Elijah McClain’s death sentenced to probation, work release and community service

cnn.com/2024/04/26/us/paramedic-elijah-mcclain-sentenced-probation/

Quick Glance: Former Aurora Paramedic Sentenced to 14 Months Work Release

The former Aurora paramedic involved in injecting Elijah McClain with ketamine, resulting in his death, has been sentenced to 14 months of work release and four years of probation and community service.

The injection occurred after McClain had a violent struggle with the police and was already subdued and in handcuffs. He lost consciousness and his pulse after the injection.

Judge Mark Warner emphasized the importance of McClain's life and criticized Cooper for not intervening despite McClain's critical condition. The sentencing concludes a lengthy process involving five first responders charged in McClain's death.

Cooper was convicted of criminally negligent homicide, while his supervisor, Peter Cichuniec, was convicted of similar charges. The sentencing brings closure to a tragic incident that sparked social justice protests.

Shortly after an incident on the road in Surfside, Florida, the 43-year-old supermodel Gisele Bündchen broke down in tears, claiming to have been harassed by paparazzi.
