Kentucky's highest court has allowed a near total abortion ban to remain in effect. Correspondent Norman hall reports. The Kentucky Supreme Court has refused to halt the state ban that has largely been in place since roe versus wade was overturned. The court was weighing challenges to the band and a separate one that outlaws abortion after the 6th week of pregnancy. Abortion rights groups responded to the court's ruling by saying the fight over the issue is far from over the court itself made that clear. It ordered a lower court to consider constitutional issues and the court's deputy chief wrote that Thursday's ruling doesn't settle the issue or bar future litigation.

"Radio 1000 FM 97 7. The brutal police beating of Tyree Nichols has resulted in the firings of several law enforcement officers and federal charges filed, including second degree murder against the police seen on that body cam video, kicking and punching Tyree nickels in Memphis. It's rare, however, for charges to be handed down so quickly in many of these cases, but why is that? And why do these things just keep happening? UCLA law professor Joanna Schwartz has researched the subject of police misconduct and is out with a new book that will be published next week. It's called shielded how police became untouchable when we talk to her about it this week. So let's talk a little bit about your book, shielded how the police became untouchable. It's out on February 14th, and it looks into the breakdown in accountability for police misconduct cases. We have had so many of these instances, Tyree Nichols and Memphis, just the latest one. What happened there was you saw the officers lose their jobs immediately. And they were slapped with charges within a week after this video surfaced. The race of the officers has also been called into account as a possibility of that happening. This is the blueprint. Going forward. For any time, any officers, whether they be black or white, will be hella accountable when it's white officers. We think it's also important to the community that there are swift action. And that we move swiftly to justice. Is race something that plays into what we're seeing in these cases? Obviously, it is, but in this case, how things were different. I think that race is intrinsically tied to policing and police misconduct. Police forces in the south were an outgrowth of slave patrols. So policing as an institution that is from the ground up based in race and racism is impossible to ignore all of the research and studies that have looked at the racial effects of policing have found that it's not really the race of the officer, but it's the race of the victim that really matters. Black people and indigenous people, Latino people are more often stopped, searched, arrested, assaulted, and killed as compared to white people. The fact that the officers are black and were quickly charged, may have some relation one to the other. There has been research indicating that officers of color are quicker to be disciplined or charged. I also think, though, that the quickness of the response to Tyree Nichols murder is a product of a lot of organizing in Memphis around

1st officer in Nichols arrest accused of brutality as jailer
"The first officer in the arrest of Tyree Nichols had been accused of brutality as a jailer. Before police officer Demetrius Haley pulled Tyree Nichols from his car last month, Haley was accused of taking part in the savage beating of an inmate at the Shelby county jail, the 2015 incident was so disturbing that 34 other inmates, the entire cell block, signed a letter to the corrections director. Part of the letter stated we are truly asking that this matter gets looked into before someone gets hurt really bad or loses their life.

And I guess oddly it was that persnickety Bill Maher on his always intriguing program, especially this past Friday, where he spent the last few minutes comparing the current woke mob to mouths, China, to the re-education camps you could find with the ascendancy of Mao Zedong. This is Bill Maher, a died in the world, Trump hating climate cultist pot loving liberal who still had clarity on that. I'm kind of a fan of that man's work. Anyway, though, he was talking about with his guests. Talking about Tyree Nichols parents being in the audience for the State of the Union. And he said it struck him as kind of tragedy porn like just something that was to make a point or to elicit a response or something. And presidents can not invite whoever they want. I think generally it's a good move to show respect to whoever gets that gets that invitation. There certainly was not disrespect or any slight shown to Tyree Nichols parents. I confess I was uncomfortable. And I think what made me uncomfortable is these are people whose hearts have just been ripped out of their chests by what had happened to their son. And hey, listen, nobody forces you to come, although do you really decline that imitation? President calls? And I guess you go. But it was like, I think it's because usually, usually, in the, in the State of the Union gallery, there is joy and appreciation for having been for having been invited.

"See your local Honda dealer today. It's one 41 all 5 Memphis police officers charged with murder in the death of Tyree Nichols, were part of a specialized anti crime unit called scorpion. That unit has now been disbanded, but other major cities have similar units. CBS senior investigative correspondent Catherine herridge explains how these controversial task forces have become part of big city policing. The Memphis police department scorpion unit was intended to be an elite specialized unit in response to the city's high violent crime and homicide rate. But the 5 Memphis police officers charged in Tyree Nichols death were new to the force. And a former Memphis police officer tells CBS News, the scorpion unit training consisted of just three days of PowerPoint presentations. One day of suspect apprehension training, and one day at the firing range, the department did not immediately respond to CBS News questions. These units require significant supervision, something that was apparently missing in the scorpion unit. Former NYPD commissioner Bill Bratton says there appear to be many missteps. You want more seasoned offices, three, four, 5, 6 years on the job, so you can look at the track record. And you want to select them carefully. And then most importantly, training, training, and training. And that is the Achilles heel of American police forces in every area of responsibility. While there's no official data on the number of anti crime units nationwide, similar issues have played police departments in other major cities. Atlanta police's antidrug unit known as red dog was shut down in 2011, after officers were accused of using excessive force during a traffic stop and arrayed on a gay bar. Memphis, unfortunately, is dealing with a perfect storm in American policing is dealing with in various amounts and on the country. After the death of George Floyd in Minneapolis, Bratton says senior officers left policing and departments are desperate for recruits. At this time in the crisis of American policing, you actually want to raise the standards not lower them. And so everything that could go wrong seems to have gone wrong in the circumstance.

Versions of the George Floyd justice and policing act passed the democratic controlled House back in 2020 and 2021. Basically, it limits qualified immunity for officers. It also would prevent racial profiling and also restrict the use of excessive force, for instance, when it comes to choke holds.

The death of Tyree Nichols while he was being arrested by Memphis police has prompted Congress to start taking another look at police reform. We need a national conversation about policing in a responsible constitutional and humane way. That's the democratic chair of the Senate Judiciary Committee, dick Durbin, speaking on ABC. WTO. Oh, go ahead. That's all right. I was going to say double DTO piece congressional correspondent Mitchell Miller joined us a little earlier to talk more about all this. The head of the congressional black caucus, Nevada Democrat, Steven horsford, he really wasted no time in trying to get things moving over the weekend. He's requested a meeting with President Biden to talk about potential law enforcement reforms. And he's calling on lawmakers in the House and Senate to JumpStart negotiations on police reform. Also to ratchet up attention to this issue, he invited the parents of Tyree Nichols to come here to Washington for next week's State of the Union address by the president, and we understand that they have accepted. So this issue is going to be highlighted in the days and week to come at the very least. Niche, there was a strong push a few years ago for police reform after the death of George Floyd. Where does all of that stand now and can there be a fresh look at it? Right, there was a lot of talk as you'll recall a couple of years ago and it involved New Jersey democratic senator Cory Booker and South Carolina Republican senator Tim Scott. They worked long and hard on trying to come to an agreement on the legislation, which is actually named after George Floyd. It would ban choke holds so called no knock warrants and step up federal tracking statistics designed to provide more oversight of law enforcement. But Republicans sought more narrow legislation and they've had concerns about lifting qualified immunity protection for police officers and departments still Booker and Scott have vowed to keep on trying this weekend. Senator Durbin is urging the Senate talks to resume, but there's still a lot of hurdles to overcome on this issue. Well, of course, Republicans now control the house, the head of the house judiciary committee, Jim Jordan, appears to be skeptical about police reform legislation. What's he saying? Right. The Ohio Republican is wary of passing federal legislation on an issue that he and many other GOP lawmakers say should be one for state and local governments. Why don't know that there's any law that can stop that evil that we saw that is just difficult to watch. That was Jordan speaking on NBC's meet the press. Now Democrats did pass the George Floyd legislation when they controlled the House, but while President Biden has also said he supports it, it just seems hard to see that the legislation is going to get through the house any time soon unless a lot of changes occur under Republican control.

We had the earlier medical emergency Georgia avenue at bell pre road keep an eye on case that is still there, southbound route three was slow in buoy headed toward route 50 with the work in the right lane. Now, in Virginia on three 95 southbound between seminary and duke street, there was debris in the roadway along the left side, first a mattress, then a wooden pallet, then a crash happened. So everything along the left side stick to the right to avoid any issues. On 66 we're seeing delays in both directions between nutley and one 23, the crash happened in the express lane. So you'll find the westbound express lanes blocked, eastbound, the right lane is getting by the crash, but everybody can see it so it is causing the slowdown in the main lanes as well.
