By Audra D.S. Burch and Kelley Manley, The New York TimesA few days before Christmas, a jury in Washington state cleared three Tacoma police officers of criminal charges in the death of Manuel “Manny” Ellis, a 33-year-old Black man who died in police custody in 2020 after pleading that he could not breathe.The next day, on Dec. 22, a jury in Colorado convicted two paramedics of criminally negligent homicide in the death of Elijah McClain, a 23-year-old Black man who died in police custody in 2019 after officers subdued him and medics injected him with the powerful sedative ketamine.In the three years since the murder of George Floyd, whose death in police custody ignited a national movement against police brutality, prosecutors have charged police and emergency medical workers in a number of high-profile cases.The result has been a mixed bag of verdicts: convictions, acquittals and in one case, a mistrial.

Column: It’s a new year. But will this also be a new future for the Chicago Bulls?

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 06:00:27 GMT

The passage of a year always shifts perspective. That couldn’t be more true for the Chicago Bulls as they enter 2024.The Bulls exited 2023 in nearly identical form to the way they entered it. On Jan. 1, 2023, the Bulls were 16-20. They entered the new year at 15-19. On paper, this status feels the same — sitting four games under .500, clinging to the 10th spot in the Eastern Conference to remain in play-in contention. Yet the energy around the team could not be more different a full year later.Last season, the Bulls teetered around the .500 mark until Nov. 9, after which they tumbled as low as 12th in the East before stumbling into 2023. It wasn’t dramatic, just the humdrum drone of an underperforming roster.This season took on a different tone. The lows came first — a players-only meeting fueled by an opening-night blowout, a five-game road losing streak and a 5-14 start, the worst since 2018. But that only made the highs more redemptive as the Bulls rode a ...
