South Fulton mayor can get back into his office, but not his car
The South Fulton City Council has voted to allow Mayor Khalid Kamau to have access to his office and City Hall less than a week after taking those privileges away.
The city council says the mayor will be allowed to resume his official duties on city premises, but he will not be allowed to use his city-issued vehicle.

This comes after city council members voted last week to strip him of most of his privileges.
For weeks, Channel 2 investigator reporter Ashli Lincoln has been looking into allegations that the mayor misused taxpayer money on international trips and lavish office furniture.

On Thursday, the city released 28 minutes of body camera footage showing officers escorting the mayor out of City Hall and helping him empty out his city-issued Mustang.
'The City Council remains committed to upholding transparency, accountability, and responsible governance. These measures were not taken lightly but were necessary to protect the integrity of city operations. The Council will continue to evaluate the situation as the investigation progresses and will provide further updates as needed,' the city council said in a statement.

Bloomberg endorses Cuomo for NYC mayor
Former New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg endorsed Andrew Cuomo in the city's mayoral race, declaring his support for the former New York governor he worked alongside while in office. Bloomberg, who served three terms as mayor from 2002 to 2013, announced his support for Cuomo on Tuesday in a statement, saying Cuomo has the experience and 'government know-how' to address the problems facing the city. He overlapped as mayor with Cuomo's time as governor, which ran from 2011 to 2021. 'History holds endless examples of friction between mayors and governors. During my 12 years in City Hall, I served with four New York governors and had differences with all of them, including Cuomo. But I also know his strengths as a leader and manager,' Bloomberg said. 'Of all the candidates, Andrew has the skills our city needs to lead us forward.' Bloomberg's support for Cuomo makes sense as a moderate Democrat backing another moderate Democrat. But it's still a notable get for Cuomo to officially receive the endorsement from the longtime former mayor. Bloomberg was initially elected as a Republican in 2001 before becoming an independent during his second term. He became a Democrat in 2018, returning to the party he had been in before his mayoral run. Bloomberg said Cuomo governed as a 'pragmatist' and credited him for the redevelopment of LaGuardia Airport, opening of the 2nd Avenue Subway and creation of Moynihan Station. He said Cuomo's more focused on solving problems than ideological warfare. 'The question before New Yorkers is not: Who is the perfect choice? No mayor is perfect,' he said. 'The question is: Who is the best choice? To me, that choice is clear: Andrew Cuomo.' The endorsement comes just two weeks ahead of the primary, in which Cuomo has been the front-runner for months, but state Assembly member Zohran Mamdani has been closing the gap and is trying to surpass him. Cuomo said he's 'deeply honored' to have Bloomberg's support, saying his leadership after 9/11 helped see the city rebuilt. 'Under his steady hand and with his strong management, New York City was the best run city in the country, and his leadership has been sorely missed every day since,' he said. 'Today, in this critical moment as New York City faces another crisis, I appreciate Mayor Bloomberg's support and faith in my vision for a stronger, safer, more affordable New York City for all.' Mamdani's campaign responded to the news by saying that billionaires are 'consolidating' around Cuomo because they know he will keep the status quo, but New Yorkers are supporting Mamdani because they want a 'new generation of leadership that puts working people first.' He just received his own major endorsement when Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.) announced her support for his campaign. Bloomberg's endorsement also comes after Cuomo received an endorsement from what may have been an unexpected source — fellow mayoral candidate and state Sen. Jessica Ramos. Ramos has been trailing well behind in the polls, often receiving only a few percentage points in polling. She had been a critic of Cuomo and ideologically is on a different part of the spectrum than him, having a reputation as a progressive. But she said at an event last week announcing her endorsement that only Cuomo had the 'experience, knowledge and toughness' to be mayor. She has said she will stay on the ballot but is supporting the former governor.

After 2020, Report Urged Caution in Deploying National Guard in L.A.
During the volatile early days of the racial justice protests in 2020, city officials in Los Angeles at first resisted calling for National Guard assistance before deciding that troops were needed to control crowds. The Guard troops, arriving in Humvees with combat gear, acted as a supplement to the local police, providing security at shopping centers and at City Hall. Still, their presence met with public resistance in a city that has a history of high-profile confrontations between protesters and the police. In the aftermath of the 2020 response, the nonprofit National Police Foundation warned that future National Guard deployments in Los Angeles should come with coordinated messaging before, during and afterward 'to avoid them being seen as an occupying force.' Yet as protests returned to the city over the weekend in response to a series of federal immigration raids, there has been no coordinated messaging or even agreement about the deployment of the National Guard. President Trump ordered the troops into Los Angeles, even as state and local politicians warned that doing so would inflame tensions rather than ease them. 'This is exactly what Donald Trump wanted,' Gov. Gavin Newsom, a Democrat, said on Monday, announcing that the state would sue the Trump administration over the deployment. When and how to use the National Guard were among the many lessons from raucous demonstrations over policing that broke out across the country in 2020 in the aftermath of the police killing of George Floyd. Many after-action reports and independent reviews blamed police departments for mishandling protests, citing insufficient training and militarized responses that made tense situations worse. Some police departments, such as the one in Raleigh, N.C., were found to have used pepper spray indiscriminately. Denver officers were found to have inappropriately used weapons such as tear gas and pepper-spray balls against people who were yelling about officer behavior but not involved in any physical resistance. Officers in Portland, Ore., where protests persisted for months, used force more than 6,000 times — and a federal review found that some uses were contrary to what is allowed under policy guidelines, such as when officers used a weapon against someone because that person had engaged in 'furtive conversation.'

LAPD Slams Trump's Decision to Send Marines to City to Crush Protests
The president's 'law and order' agenda isn't popular with the people tasked with enforcing it. The Los Angeles Police Department torched Donald Trump, revealing to the public that not only had the administration failed to notify them of its decision to send 700 Marines to quell the city's anti-ICE protests, but also that they believe Washington's involvement will unnecessarily complicate the situation. 'The LAPD has not received any formal notification that the Marines will be arriving in Los Angeles,' wrote LAPD Chief Jim McDonnell in a news release Monday. 'However, the possible arrival of federal military forces in Los Angeles absent clear coordination presents a significant logistical and operational challenge for those of us charged with safeguarding this city. 'The Los Angeles Police Department, alongside our mutual aid partners, have decades of experience managing large-scale public demonstrations, and we remain confident in our ability to do so professionally and effectively,' McDonnell continued. 'That said, our top priority is the safety of both the public and the officers on the ground. We are urging open and continuous lines of communication between all agencies to prevent confusion, avoid escalation, and ensure a coordinated, lawful, and orderly response during this critical time.' Police unions across the country comprised a massive coalition responsible for sending Trump back to the White House. Cops were some of his biggest cheerleaders during the past three election cycles, frothing at his promises to always 'back the blue.' Thousands of locals flooded the streets of Los Angeles over the weekend in a stunning visual protest of the president's agenda. Protesters blocked off a major freeway, trashed Waymos (self-driving cars), and organized outside City Hall and the Metropolitan Detention Center. In reaction, law enforcement officials shot rubber bullets and fired tear gas and flash bangs into crowds of civilians. The FBI added protesters suspected of throwing rocks at police cars to its Most Wanted list and ominously threatened to intervene in the anti-Trump display without guidance from California or the White House. California sued the federal government Monday to roll back Trump's deployment of 4,100 National Guard members that state authorities said had not been authorized or requested to handle the protests. In a press conference announcing the lawsuit Monday, California Attorney General Rob Bonta told reporters that Trump had 'trampled' California's sovereignty.
