Letâs talk about it. Over the weekend, [protests]( erupted nationwide after the disturbing video of police assaulting Nichols was released. The 29-year-old died earlier this month, three days after being hit, punched, kicked, tased, and pepper-sprayed by five officers â who've since been [fired]( and [charged]( with second-degree murder. But the outrage was palpable, with protesters demanding justice and accountability. The Memphis PD [disbanded]( the special âviolent crimeâ unit the officers belonged to and said it will âdiscuss the path forwardâ for the department. But Nicholsâ death is raising another element in the conversation around policing and race. And that is? [The culture around policing](. Nichols and the five officers are Black. The case has experts warning that the USâs âhistorically biased culture of policingâ puts Black Americans at risk â regardless of an officer's race. And that Black officers could still harbor racial bias that has been factored into law enforcement for years. In the end, [experts say]( the victimâs race plays a larger part than the officerâs race when looking at altercations with police. But the cityâs police chief says the incident âtakes race off the tableâ in regard to issues and problems involving law enforcement. theSkimm Nichols isn't the first Black man to die after interactions with [police officers who are also Black](. This latest attack has people turning their attention to the systemic biases that can be found within policing. And has â once again â [renewed calls]( for Congress to address police reform.

Violence between Israelis and Palestinians has been escalating. Last week, Israel carried out whatâs believed to be the [deadliest raid]( in the West Bank in 20 years, killing seven militants and two civilians in an operation it says was designed to prevent âmajor attacks.â Over the weekend, a Palestinian gunman killed seven people outside a synagogue in East Jerusalem â the deadliest attack in the city in 15 years. Now, the Israeli government is considering expediting [gun application forms]( for Israeli citizens because âheroic, armed, and trained civilians save lives.â But could crack down on residency rights for relatives of Palestinian assailants. The tensions come as US Secretary of State Antony Blinken is set to visit the region [today](. --------------------------------------------------------------- Where kidsâ rights are caught in limbo⦠[Utah](. Over the weekend, Gov. Spencer Cox (R) signed a bill into law banning gender-affirming care for kids under 18. Utah is now the fifth state thatâs made it illegal for children to receive gender-affirming surgery or hormone treatments. It comes after legislators in [more than two dozen states]( last year reportedly worked on similar efforts â with Alabama, Arkansas, Arizona, and Tennessee enacting similar bills. Now, more than a dozen others are considering similar action. Cox says the measure will put âpermanent and life-altering treatmentsâ on pause until thereâs more research on the âlong-term consequences.â Meanwhile, the American Medical Association, which [endorses]( gender-affirming care, has pointed out that delaying kidsâ access to treatment could be harmful, whereas receiving care has been linked to "dramatically reduced" rates of suicide attempts. --------------------------------------------------------------- What people are watching⦠[Pakistan](. Today, an explosion at a mosque in the northwestern city of Peshawar killed at least 28 people and wounded 150 more. No one has immediately claimed responsibility for the attack. Now, officials say there are still some people stuck under rubble. And the possibility of a suicide bombing has not been ruled out. --------------------------------------------------------------- Why the local sports bars went hard yesterday⦠[Football](.
