George Floyd’s high-profile death has become synonymous with unfair police treatment.
His death has sparked discussions surrounding police reform and the long-term consequences for people who experience violent contact with police.

As of about noon Monday on the West Coast, the nation had endured at least 355 separate shooting incidents over the previous 72 hours in which 123 people died and 297 were wounded. The sick thing is thatâs not unusual.
I looked up the stats on the Gun Violence Archive as I contemplated the fourth mass shooting in Colorado in 2021, the most recent coming Sunday in Colorado Springs.

As aging teachers retire and with changes to enrollment in education programs, schools in New York state are in need of teachers.
According to statistics from New York State United Teachers there were more than 51,000 teachers in 2018 over the age of 55 and almost 36,000 aged 51-54 enrolled in the New York State Teachers’ Retirement System. That means that of the 264,590 members of the NYSTRS, approximately one-third are able or will soon be able to retire.
