They will have part two of their discussion on what we know after the New Orleans attack that took the lives of 14 people and injured another 30 on New Year's morning. Law enforcement has learned several new clues about the suspect.

A couple of hours before the attack, the suspect placed two improvised explosive devices, or IEDs, in two coolers on Bourbon Street. A transmitter that was supposed to detonate the IEDs was found in his vehicle. Law enforcement discovered in October the suspect was in New Orleans In October of 2024 for a few days and CCTV showed him riding through the French Quarter on a bicycle wearing "Meta glasses" he also visited New Orleans on November 10th, and investigators are still tracking his movements during that trip. After this attack what safety steps can be put in place in New Orleans and other major cities where large crowds of people gather to prevent another domestic terrorist attack?

Join the Co-host Chiefs this Thursday at 6PM CST, streaming live on Facebook Live and YouTube. They discuss the tragic events that unfolded in the early morning hours of New Year's morning in New Orleans. With authorities officially investigating the deadly Bourbon Street attack as "an act of terrorism," many people may be wondering exactly what federal officials count as "terrorism."

At least 15 people have been killed and more than 30 were injured after a man in a pickup truck, "hell-bent" on creating carnage, intentionally drove into a crowd in the bustling French Quarter district of New Orleans in the early morning hours of New Year's Day, according to authorities. How can law enforcement identify a lone wolf, terrorists, when they operate independently and leave few clues behind.

Black women in the police force have faced discrimination over their hair, including being forced to choose between their employment and their racial identity.

Recently an 18-year veteran of the Miami Police Department was harassed and demoted over her hair. Is there a double standard between Black and White female officers and hairstyles?

For several decades the DOJ has been Investigating Local Police Departments across the United States. for violations of civil rights violations and or use of force incidents. Those federal investigations and possible court orders to follow could take years to complete. Local police departments under federal oversight have complained about the immense strain on resources and personnel it takes to meet court-approved benchmarks for accountability, training, and amended use-of-force policies. Community activists sometimes feel federal oversight does not do enough to fix systemic issues.

Lawyers in charge of monitoring the progress of the local police departments, and current and former law enforcement officials suggest that while federal oversight cannot solve every issue in local policing, it can spur significant changes that would not have been possible without it. But it hasn’t come without a lot of controversy and where some agencies have challenged DOJ consent decree orders.

Is there a problem with at-risk youth and juvenile crimes across the United States Yes, there is a problem with juvenile crime in cities like Oklahoma City, Memphis, and Minneapolis, and the state of Minnesota is struggling to address it.

Younger and younger offenders are committing more violent crimes, including shootings, carjackings, and armed robberies. Youth crime is a growing concern. Many young offenders are also victims with complex needs, leading to a public health approach that requires a balance of welfare and justice models.

With more police officers being convicted of murder charges since the death of George Floyd.

As they discuss, some recent convictions where the number of police officers charged with violent on-duty crimes, including murder, manslaughter and assault, has increased in recent years in part because of increased public scrutiny, new technology, and legal changes that have helped make prosecutions possible.

In recent years, the public has questioned police leaders for bestowing badges and guns on officers who are psychologically ill-suited to their jobs at a time when trust in police is already at historic low. Most police departments use psychological testing to help select candidates. The psychological exam is a key step in the hiring process and is used to determine if a candidate can handle the unique stresses of being a police officer, who are the licensed and specialized clinical psychologist.
