Keechant Sewell Has Been Sworn In As The First Female Police Commissioner In The New York City Police Department.

Keechant Sewell made history when she was sworn in as the first female commissioner of the New York Police Department, which was formed 176 years ago.

Sewell, 49, tweeted after the event at the city's police headquarters, "This oath represents my profound devotion to our beautiful city — and the individuals who are regarded as New York's Finest." "I'm honored to be here and eager to get to work!"

After 25 years as the chief of detectives for the Nassau County Police Department, Sewell was named the 45th police commissioner of the nation's largest police force.

Edward Caban, a former Harlem district commanding officer, was chosen as her second in command.

Sewell was chosen by New York's new mayor, Eric Adams, who was sworn into office in Times Square on Saturday.

As Associate Justice Sylvia O. Hinds-Radix of the state Supreme Court's appellate division swore him in, he placed one hand on a family Bible and the other on a picture of his mother Dorothy, who died in 2020.

On the campaign trail, Adams, a former police captain, spoke out against crime, policing, and racial inequality. He also stated that he would appoint a female police commissioner to his government.

He is the city's second Black mayor, following David Dinkins, who served from 1990 to 1993. He is also the city's 110th mayor.

Ways to relief stress

Angel

Stress is the body's reaction to any change that requires an adjustment or response. The body reacts to these changes with physical, mental, and emotional responses. Stress is a normal part of life. You can experience stress from your environment, your body, and your thoughts. Even positive life changes such as a promotion, a mortgage, or the birth of a child produce stress. It triggers your fight-or-flight response in order to fight the stress or  run away from it. Typically, after the response occurs, your body should relax. Too much constant stress can have negative effects on your long-term health.  The human body is designed to experience stress and react to it. Stress can be positive, keeping us alert, motivated, and ready to avoid danger. Stress becomes negative when a person faces continuous challenges without relief or relaxation between stressors. As a result, the person becomes overworked, and stress-related tension builds. The body's auto...

In A Furious Address, Biden Calls For A Reform Of US Election Laws.

Angel
Image
As part of his effort to revamp the country's election procedures, US President Joe Biden has called for a historic change to Senate rules. He stated he backed adjustments that would allow his voting reforms to pass without the cooperation of opposition Republicans in an impassioned speech. His initiatives are being hampered by reservations from two senators in his own party, and no Republicans have backed them. In order to approve most bills in the Senate, a 60 percent majority is required. And, with the upper body of Congress split 50-50 between the two parties, Mr Biden's comprehensive election legislation is nearly certain to fail unless that provision is changed. Analysts think such a shift is unlikely since it would require the approval of every Democrat in the Senate, as well as the vice president's tie-breaking vote. Last year, the lower house, the House of Representatives, enacted the Freedom to Vote Act and the John Lewis Voting Rights Advancement Act. The former ...

After a jury convicted him guilty of lying to police about being the victim of a hate crime, Jussie Smollett was sentenced to 150 days in prison. After fabricating false claims about the hoax attack, the former Empire star, 39, was convicted guilty of five counts of felony disorderly conduct in December. The punishment also includes 30 months of probation and restitution and fines totaling $145,000 (£110,000). "I did not do this!" Smollett exclaimed after the sentence. The case came from a three-year-old incident in which Smollett said he was attacked by two people. While walking late at night in January 2019, the actor, who is black and gay, alleged the attackers shouted racial slurs and a Trump slogan at him, dumped a "chemical substance" on him, and tied a noose around his neck. Authorities launched an investigation, but Smollett was charged with filing a fake police complaint in February of that year, stating he orchestrated the incident. Last year, a jury of si...
