Woodbury County Sheriff’s office revealed the killing of a South Iowa resident. The accident happened two miles east of Sioux City on Hwy 28.

Moyer Quick, aged 65 was the man who was deceased from the collision. He was hit by 17 year old Randy Radin driving a truck. Three survivors were transported to the Sioux City General Hospital in critical condition.

The accident was caused from both vehicles heading west on the two lane highway. Radin was making a pass and struck the rear-end of Mr. Quick leading to send both on impact into the ditch on the north side of the road. Mr. Quick’s vehicle rolled once and causing the accident to still be in investigation.

Yesterday breaking news was sent out shocking a large amount of people in Sioux City, Iowa. The South Iowa Highway Patrol put out and order to ban the use of hand-held radar guns.

The reason they feel radar guns should be ban is due to the concerns that the troopers have the possibility of developing cancer from being exposed to radiation constantly. This ban is just as a precaution, while research is continually be provided for the correlation of radar guns and cancer. Spokesman, Adam Smith said, “The feeling here is to err on the side of caution until more is known about the issue.”

This move is the first to happen by any state police agency, after the incident of three officers filing compensation for the claims of receiving cancer by using hand-held units.

Trump made an appearance in Kenosha, Wisconsin after the recent Jacob Blake shooting. Trump went around the different sites that were under total destruction after the suppose to be peaceful protest. Trump continues to say at a news press conference that we need to stop the violence and confront the radical ideology that causes violence. I feel this is right that we need to stop the violence but saying they are mobs and not good for America is causing a serious problem. I feel he is wrong for this, because the context of story is not all there making it sound he is calling the BLM a mob. That is not helping the racial injustice that the movement is beginning to spread awareness for. Also, he never really added the way he feels we should spread awareness for racial injustice and how events like this should be stopped. Lastly the article said he was saying false information about Blake’s family which also provides a premise that he doesn’t care for the situation and really only focused on the upcoming election.

This article honestly does not provide any information on the shooting, however is provides the three men that were shot from the 17 year kid who decided to show up at the protest with an AR-15. I am from Milwaukee, Wisconsin and I know people who where at that protest and wanted to make a statement that the killing of anybody, but in this case a black man is not right or justified. I felt that the audacity of some people who are trying to backup or justify a kid coming to a peaceful protest walking down a street with an AR-15 is ok in their mind. How can it be someone’s fault they felt threatened and tried to take the gun away from him in the protection of everyone in the protest. I feel the news posted this one close the headline due to the Journal Sentinel which is a newspaper that mainly everyone in Wisconsin gets. My connection to this story is one of the men who got shot is from West Allis where I am from and went to high school in that city. I feel this news should be posted across all the headlines because people need to figure things out and realize it’s not ok to kill anyone. Also, the factor of accepting the fact that someone is fighting for something other than what one may believe in and just allow them to say what they want in the time of mourning.
