IOWA CITY, Iowa (AP) When cops pulled over Marquis Jones for loud music one sunny afternoon in October 2017, the 27-year-old Black man got out of his car and ran.
Jones escaped one officer’s tackle and carried a handgun as he fled through a neighborhood in Burlington, Iowa. Police yelled for him to drop his weapon before Officer Chris Chiprez fired seven times, missing Jones. Jones ditched the gun, ran down an alley and into a backyard, and laid on the ground as Chiprez pursued.
Chiprez said he shot and killed Jones after he started to rise and made a hand movement. Relatives say Jones, a father of five, was trying to surrender.

NC, dozens of other states file anti-trust lawsuit against Google

DENVER Dozens of more states are joining an escalating effort to prove Google has been methodically abusing its power as the internet s main gateway in a way that hurts consumers habitually feeding personal information into its search engine and advertisers pouring billions of dollars into its vast marketing network.
The lawsuit was filed Thursday in federal court in Washington by attorneys general of 35 states, including North Carolina, as well as the District of Columbia and the territories of Guam and Puerto Rico.
It seems likely to be combined with a similar complaint by the the U.S. Department of Justice in late October that is also trying to defuse Google s dominance of online search and digital advertising.
