Hundreds join Jordan Edwards' family in Dallas march against police brutality

Frustrated by a rift between police nationwide and the communities they serve, more than 300 people marched in Dallas on Saturday beside the family of 15-year-old Jordan Edwards, who was shot and killed by a Balch Springs officer now facing a murder charge.

The crowd gathered in downtown Dallas at St. Paul's United Methodist Church around 10 a.m. before marching a mile through Uptown and ending at Pike Park, not far from where a 12-year-old boy was killed by a Dallas police officer four decades ago.

"If my son is not safe, then your son is not safe," said Colette Flanagan, who founded Mothers Against Police Brutality after her son, Clinton Allen, was killed in a confrontation with police in 2013.

U.S. sailors found dead on destroyer after collision with freighter near Japan

Divers found the bodies of missing U.S. sailors Sunday aboard the stricken USS Fitzgerald a day after it collided with a container ship in the busy sea off Japan, the Navy said.

The Fitzgerald was about 64 miles south of Yokosuka when it was hit by the ACX Crystal, a Philippines-registered cargo ship. The Crystal rammed nose-first into the destroyer's starboard, or right, side. It was a clear night, but the crash occurred in a busy sea lane.

Two of the Fitzgerald's berthing areas were flooded after the collision, which occurred at 2:30 a.m. local time Saturday, a time when most of the crew would have been asleep.

Upcoming report to identify who is responsible for Rowlett's $478,000 radio tower mistake

The problems started back in 2006 when the city, while planning for its future communication needs, paid $519,000 for half of 8.5 undeveloped acres at 8491 Schrade Road. Voters approved the public safety network in 2015, and work on the Rowlett communications tower started in February — on the wrong half of the property.

What kind of father: A son confronts the troubling past of a man he never knew

When Bob Workman drowned in Florida 55 years ago, he died a broke and broken man, his life swallowed up and puked back out by vice and weakness. He had done himself in — and his family — by letting booze decide what mattered most.

Bob and his wife, Betty, had three children during 20 often fitful years of marriage in West Virginia before their 1959 divorce. But months later, fate brought them back together long enough to conceive a fourth child: Frank L. Christlieb.
