DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) — The city of Des Moines is acknowledging that a former police officer falsely told investigators she warned an unarmed man to “get back” before fatally shooting him. The Des Moines Register reports that video and audio recordings of Vanessa Miller’s patrol car show she didn’t warn 28-year-old Ryan Bolinger before firing her weapon in 2015. The city’s attorneys say the circumstances of the shooting made a warning unfeasible. Miller acknowledged the disparity as part of a wrongful death lawsuit.

DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) — The U.S. Department of Agriculture has killed a rule designed to protect the legal rights of farmers who raise chickens and hogs for the nation’s largest meat processors. The rule would have made it easier for farmers to sue companies they contract with over unfair or deceptive practices. It was rolled out in the final days of Barack Obama’s administration. But the USDA delayed it after President Donald Trump took office. On Tuesday, the agency withdrew it for good.
