Officers in the Lexington police officers' motorcycle squad joined others at the nation's capital on Thursday, May 15, as they escorted survivors, referring to loved ones who are survived by officers who have died in the line of duty. Nationally, this escort is put on by the organization called Concerns of Police Survivors (C.O.P.S.)

The Lexington motor officers were joined by officers from Los Angeles, Florida, New York, and everywhere in between. On Thursday, the motorcade went to the National Police Officers Memorial, where U.S. Vice President JD Vance was a keynote speaker.
LPD motor squad supervisor Sergeant Gary Thurman said it was an experience he'll never forget.
'It's a very humbling experience, especially seeing the children and families of fallen officers from all over the country and watching their faces light up as the motorcycles come through to provide escorts through the capital,' Thurman said.
More information about the organization can be found by visiting the C.O.P.S. website.

Fact Check: Did Police Take Locals' Social Media Details for JD Vance Team?
Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. Multiple posts have gone viral on X this week sharing claims that a U.K. police department asked residents of a small English village for their social-media details, to pass on to U.S. Vice President JD Vance's security team. Vance is currently on vacation in the U.K. and spent several days staying near Dean, a hamlet in the Cotswolds, which is a popular getaway spot in the south west of the country. Thames Valley Police and a spokesperson for Vance have denied the claims. The Claim In an August 9 article, U.K. newspaper The Observer quoted an unnamed dog walker and resident of Dean as saying, "We have had the police knocking on every door. They wanted the names of everybody living there and details of their social media. I know several people refused. We asked them if they were protecting us, or Vance. At least they were honest and said it is for him and that it will all be passed on to the American security people." On August 12, Marc Owen Jones, a professor at Northwestern University in Qatar specializing in disinformation and digital authoritarianism, shared the article on X, alongside a post saying, "The police are asking local Cotswolds residents for their social media handles to be passed onto to JD Vance's security detail." Jones' post had 1.9 million views as of Thursday morning, and the claim was also covered on August 13 by The News Agents, a current affairs podcast co-hosted by veteran journalist Jon Sopel.

"No officers were instructed to ask residents about their social media accounts or use, and we have received no complaints regarding this," the spokesperson said. "To reduce local impact due to temporary road restrictions during the visit, we held brief courtesy conversations with residents to understand their access needs and facilitate safe movement." "It was made clear that participation was entirely voluntary and that responses would not be shared outside the police force," they added. William Martin, Vance's communications director, called the claims "fake news" in a post on X, adding, "local police went on the record saying that they did not ask for details of anyone's social media. Neither did U.S. Secret Service." Newsweek contacted Vance's office, via email, for further comment. On Wednesday, Jones shared a quote from another article on X acknowledging the police department's denial. That post had 58,000 views as of Thursday morning. The Ruling False. Thames Valley Police said residents were not asked for their social-media details. Officers had discussions with locals about logistics ahead of the vice president's visit, and no details were shared outside the police department. FACT CHECK BY NEWSWEEK

Vance Hangs Out With Convicted ‘Apprentice' Star in Booze-Fueled Vacation Barbecue
JD Vance found time during his vacation in England to hang out with a former star of The Apprentice who was once sentenced for handling stolen goods. Thomas Skinner, who appeared on the 2019 season of the British version of The Apprentice, uploaded an image on X which he said showed himself 'after a few beers' with the vice president, who is on a British countryside vacation turned diplomatic expedition. In the picture, the TV personality has his arm slung around a smiling Vance, who is in casual clothing. 'Here is a pic of Me and Vice President @JDVance towards the end of the night after a few beers,' the 34-year-old posted. 'I'm overdressed in my suit, but when the VP invites you to a BBQ, you don't risk turning up in shorts an flip-flops. Cracking night in the beautiful English countryside with JD, his friends and family. Once in a lifetime,' Skinner added, signing off with his catchphrase: 'Bosh.' In a separate post, he said Vance, 41, was 'a proper gent,' and said the evening was 'one to tell the grand kids about.' The pair finally met in person, after growing into transatlantic allies over X. The catchphrase 'Bosh' and his happy-go-lucky, cheeky-chappy demeanour endeared Skinner to the public when he took part in the fifteenth season of The Apprentice. He was fired by the show's host, Lord Alan Sugar, in week nine. Skinner, a bedding salesman and market trader, had overcome a criminal past to make it onto the show. In 2011, he was convicted of handling nearly $55,000 of stolen goods, including 4,992 tubes of Body Shop cleansing gels. He was also in possession of 2,000 diazepam, or Valium, pills. Skinner has been candid about his past on social media, revealing that he's been arrested several times. 'Yes I did get arrested when I was younger, in fact I get arrested several times. And been charged and paid the price for my convictions [sic],' he wrote on X in February. In 2019, he told MailOnline: 'Many years ago before I had my business, when I used to work on the markets, I was young and naïve and brought stock from a source that I didn't know. I wasn't aware that the stock was stolen and paid the consequences for the mistake I made. 'That is now well in my past, and I have had a string of successful companies since then. I now only buy from trusted sources and I employ five people. I was put in situations I didn't fully understand when I was younger, but they have made me the man I am today. My past is my past, I am now a changed man.' A BBC spokesperson told MailOnline at the time that Skinner passed a background check ahead of his appearance on The Apprentice. While yet to make a foray into politics, Skinner has been vocal about issues he sees as afflicting the U.K. Vance has shown an increasing interest in British right-wing politics, including the Reform UK party, led by Nigel Farage, whom the VP met for breakfast on Wednesday. Skinner, meanwhile, developed a relationship with Vance over social media. Skinner, who donned a MAGA hat in a post in June, won the support of Vance after Skinner complained on X about being labeled 'far right' by the left in a wider screed about his defense of 'traditional, hard-working, family values.' He added that he had received 'death threats' and 'vile comments about my children.' Vance came to the rescue, offering words of solace by sharing a picture of a slothlike man at a computer from South Park. 'Hang in there, my friend. Remember that 90 percent of people attacking your family look like this,' Vance wrote. The barbecue comes amid Vance's vacation in the Cotswolds, an area of natural beauty popular with A-listers in south west England. The trip has been met with a flurry of opposition, with locals slamming Vance with placards and billboard posters featuring a chubby version of his face in meme form. Representatives for Vance and Skinner have been contacted for comment.

US says UK human rights have worsened in past year
A report produced by the Trump administration says the human rights situation in the UK has "worsened" over the past year. The annual report, which looks at global human rights, specifically pointed to what it said were restrictions on freedom of expression and threats of violence motivated by antisemitism in Britain. The criticism echoes comments previously made by members of the US president's senior team, including Vice-President JD Vance. A UK government spokesperson said: "Free speech is vital for democracy around the world including here in the UK and we are proud to uphold freedoms whilst keeping our citizens safe." The report also describes the human rights situation as having "worsened" in France and Germany. On freedom of speech in the UK, it said "specific areas of concern" included restrictions on political speech deemed "hateful" or "offensive". It said the response to last year's Southport attacks had been an "especially grievous example of government censorship", adding, "censorship of ordinary Britons was increasingly routine, often targeted at political speech". Three young girls were stabbed to death at a Taylor Swift dance class by 18-year-old Axel Rudakubana in July 2024. A peaceful vigil was held in the town the next day, but misinformation spread online about Rudakubana led to violent protests. Posts claiming he was an asylum seeker, who had arrived in the UK on a small boat, were shared widely. In the wake of the rioting, action was taken against internet users who made the false claims and urged revenge. Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer promised that those involved would "face the full force of the law". The US state department report said local and national government officials had "repeatedly intervened to chill speech". State department spokeswoman Tammy Bruce, without naming the UK specifically, said online restrictions had targeted "disfavoured voices on political or religious grounds." "No matter really how disagreeable someone's speech may be, criminalising it or silencing it by force only serves as a catalyst for further hatred, suppression or polarisation," Bruce told reporters. The report also pointed to buffer zone laws which prohibit protests outside abortion service centres and Public Spaces Protection Orders, powers local councils can use to ban certain anti-social activities. Scotland implemented 200m (656ft) buffer zones in September 2024. A month later, 150m buffer zones were put in place around abortion clinics in England and Wales. When they were introduced, safeguarding minister Jess Phillips said: "We will not sit back and tolerate harassment, abuse and intimidation as people exercise their legal right to healthcare." In April, a woman was convicted of holding a sign reading "Here to talk, if you want" outside a clinic in Bournemouth. Livia Tossici-Bolt's case was highlighted by Vance and the Bureau of Democracy, Human Rights, and Labour - a bureau within the US state department. The bureau said it was "disappointed" by the ruling. "Freedom of expression must be protected for all," it added. On a more positive note, the report also highlighted how "the government effectively enforced laws protecting freedom of association, collective bargaining, and the right of workers to engage in a strike or other industrial action".
