WASHINGTON A veteran committed suicide by setting himself on fire in front of a New Jersey VA clinic after staff at the clinic repeatedly failed to ensure he received adequate mental health care, an investigation of the death found. Department of Veterans Affairs staff canceled an appointment Charles Ingram had in fall 2015 because a provider was unavailable, didn't follow up to reschedule, and when he walked into the clinic to ask for an appointment, they didn't schedule it until three months later, the VA inspector general found. Ingram, a 51-year-old Gulf War veteran, had been approved to receive treatment at a non-VA facility, but no one at VA contacted Ingram or scheduled the appointment. In March 2016, shortly before his VA appointment, Ingram went to the clinic in Northfield, New Jersey, doused himself in gasoline and lit himself on fire.
The clinic was closed at the time. "Staff failed to follow up on no-shows, clinic cancellations, termination of services, and Non-VA Care Coordination consults as required," the inspector general wrote in a report released Wednesday. Judge limits police use of ch chemicals She rules that St. Louis can't punish nonviolent exercise of free speech ASSOCIATED PRESS ST. LOUIS A federal judge on Wednesday ruled that St.
Louis police can't shut down nonviolent protests or use chemical sprays to punish people who have been involved in weeks of demonstrations against police conduct. U.S. District Judge Catherine Perry wrote that the. order is needed to protect First Amendment rights during ongoing protests, which have continued for weeks following the September acquittal of a white former police officer in the 2011 killing of a black man. Perry's order still gives police the ability to shut down protests, but she says that's only allowed if demonstrators pose "an imminent threat to use force or violence or violate a criminal law with force or violence." The order stems from a lawsuit filed by the American Civil Liberties Union of Missouri against the city of St.
Louis claiming that police have used heavyhanded tactics against protesters during those demonstrations. The preliminary injunction will be in effect as the lawsuit plays out in court. "Evidence both video and testimony shows that officers have exercised their discretion in an arbitrary and retaliatory fashion to punish protesters for voicing criticism off police or recording police conduct," Perry wrote. Perry also wrote that based on evidence and testimony so far, the ACLU appears likely to succeed in court. A leader of the protest movement hailed the order as a win "for the protesters and anybody that's been part of the movement in any way." "We want to be treated like the Constitution says and not like terrorists," said Cori Bush of the Frontline POLICE A federal judge has ordered St.
Louis police to limit the use of chemical sprays against nonviolent protests. Officers must allow the exercise of free speech rights and are banned from using the sprays to punish protesters. MICHAEL B. IMAGES protest movement. "We're only protesting injustice against the black community." Koran Addo, spokesman for Mayor Lyda Krewson, said in a statement that the city "will comply with the order of preliminary injunction." A police spokeswoman declined comment, and officials with the St.
Louis Police Officers Association did not return messages seeking comment. Krewson and Interim Police Chief Lawrence O'Toole have asked the U.S. Department of Justice to conduct an independent investigation of police actions. Authorities have made more than 300 arrests at demonstrations over the Sept. 15 acquittal of former officer Jason Stockley in the shooting death of 24- year-old Anthony Lamar Smith following a high-speed chase.
In the lawsuit filed after about 120 people were arrested Sept. 17, the ACLU raised concerns about a police tactic known as "kettling," in which lines of officers move protesters into a limited area. The lawsuit also accused police of unnecessarily using of tear gas and pepper spray, arresting bystanders and journalists, and taunting some of those who were arrested. "If St. Louis is to address its long-standing racial inequities, the community must be able to safely express its outrage and pain through nonviolent freedom of speech," ACLU of Missouri Executive Director Jeffrey Mittman said in a statement.
"We must use this as an opportunity to develop a collaborative approach to policing between the community and law enforcement." Police have defended their actions, saying protesters threw rocks and other items at officers, sprayed some with unknown substances and shattered shop windows. She wrote that police can't end protests or use chemical agents such as tear gas to punish people for exercising their right to free speech. The order says before using chemical agents, police need probable cause to arrest a person, must first give "clear and unambiguous warnings" and give people enough time to obey police commands. The order also appears to address the "kettling" tactic. Perry wrote that police need to give protesters a way to leave if law enforcement decides to shut down a protest.
The ACLU of Missouri says a trial date has not yet been set. In addition to the court case, St. Louis aldermen are considering a bill limiting how police respond to protests. Alderwoman Megan Green's proposal would repeal an existing ordinance on unlawful assemblies, limit when officer can use tear gas and pepper spray, and prohibit use of chemical agents on people who are already restrained. It's unclear when the measure will get a final vote.
Meanwhile, Addo said the search for a new police chief is narrowing. Forty-two people applied for the job vacated by Sam Dotson's resignation in April. The city expects to name six finalists by Dec. 14 and hire a new chief a short time thereafter..
