Philly cops targeted in shooting rampage improving
One of two police officers wounded during Friday's shooting rampage in West Philadelphia was discharged from the hospital Sunday, and family members of the other officer said they were hopeful she would be released soon.

Proposition 57 will reduce prison population; some say threatens public safety
A proposal before voters this November to make the state's less-violent prisoners eligible for release sooner has widened the gulf between law enforcement and advocates of reducing prison overcrowding. But the county's law enforcement leaders oppose Proposition 57, saying its passage will threaten public safety. Cotati police Chief Michael Parrish, president of Sonoma County Law Enforcement Chiefs Association, said some inmates eligible for release are anything but nonviolent. The proposal allows participants to include those convicted of crimes including rape of an intoxicated person, vehicular manslaughter, domestic violence causing trauma and human trafficking involving sex with minors.
