Bloody Murders in Quiet Neighborhood Shatter Mexico City's Calm
In the vast swaths of Mexico controlled by drug cartels, public executions and mass graves have long been the norm. Mexico City has largely been a haven from the goriest headlines.
That changed Tuesday morning, when two close aides to Mexico City Mayor Clara Brugada were shot and killed in a targeted attack at a main thoroughfare in an otherwise quiet residential neighborhood. While it wasn't clear who was behind the shooting, the close range at which the two aides were shot leaves little doubt that professionals were involved.

Do kids feel safe in D.C.? We asked them.
In 2023, crime surged in the District as homicides reached levels not seen in a generation. By the year's end, D.C. police had made more than 500 arrests of people under age 18 for violent crimes — the most in a single year since 2004. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, 20 from that age group had died in homicides. Teens with no previous criminal records were being arrested 'because they put a gun in somebody's face,' said then-D.C. Police Chief Robert J. Contee III at a crime summit in 2023. Students changed schools in fear only to find they could not escape the violence. A council member urged parents to keep their children indoors: 'It's not safe in D.C.'

Donald Trump Accused Of Inciting Violence With Chilling New Rhyme
President Donald Trump drew accusations of inciting violence after he recited a rhyme to reporters on Sunday. Trump claimed that people who are protesting the federal immigration raids that are being carried out by his administration are now spitting on agents. Spitting 'and worse' is 'their new thing,' the president claimed, offering no evidence to back up the assertion. Then he said, 'They spit, we hit.' 'And I told them, nobody's going to spit on our police officers, nobody's going to spit on our military, which they do, it's a common thing,' he added. If they spit in the face, 'they get hit very hard,' Trump warned. Critics on social media suggested Trump's remark gave the go-ahead for police brutality and the excessive use of force. Others recalled the pardons that Trump dished out to hundreds of his supporters who had been convicted for their involvement in the deadly and violent U.S. Capitol riot on Jan. 6, 2021, during which law enforcement officers were attacked. Trump drew similar ire in 2020 when, amid the protests of the police killing of George Floyd, he warned, 'When the looting starts, the shooting starts.'

LAPD Chief Jim McDonnell Says, 'Violence I Have Seen is Disgusting,' Recounting Attacks on Cops
LAPD Chief Jim McDonnell Says, 'Violence I Have Seen is Disgusting,' Recounting Attacks on Cops originally appeared on L.A. Mag. The city's top cop held a press conference Sunday night urging Angelenos to end the ugly violence that has thrust the city into chaos telling reporters, "things have gotten out of control," adding that "somebody could easily be killed," by the actions of some of the agitators who are attacking law enforcement officials. LAPD officers - and other law enforcement officials - have been targeted by protestors who have aimed and released "commercial grade fireworks" at cops, who also came under fire from hurled concrete blocks hammered from government buildings. California Highway Patrol Officers came under attack from protestors who threw scooters, street signs, and large blocks at them from an overpass, destroying multiple vehicles parked along the 101. The officers were forced to take cover from the violence overhead, and several narrowly missed being hit by fireworks and blocks, which was captured live by KTLA. "The people who are out there doing the have a hoodie on, they have a a face mask are people who do this all the time," McDonnell said of the most violent protestors, who said "many come in from other places just to hurt people and cause havoc." McDonnell added, "the violence I have seen is disgusting." Despite the vandalism, attacks on police, and random acts of mayhem throughout DTLA, which included the torching of six Waymo autonomous cars - roughly ten arrests were made on Sunday, and 29 arrests Saturday night. CHP made 17 arrests when protestors blocked the 101 freeway. One man, officials said, was charged with throwing a molotov cocktail at a police officer. Another was arrested after he charged at a police barricade with his motorcycle at full speed. The chaos has intensified since protestors took to the streets Friday in response to a series of clandestine raids across Los Angeles that led to dozens of arrests, and a fiery response from the heavily immigrant population of the city. McDonnell made it clear that the LAPD does not make immigration arrests, but the department does not prevent federal officials from doing their job either. "They have their have every right to do that," McDonnell said of the Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents who have fanned out across L.A., ripping people out of their workplaces and descending on Home Depot parking lots. But, McDonnell said, federal officials did not brief his department, which made it difficult to respond to the mobs of people who began to protest. This story was originally reported by L.A. Mag on Jun 9, 2025, where it first appeared.
