Republican Senator Lindsey Graham, one of the lawmakers engaged in negotiations led by Senators Tim Scott and Cory Booker and Congresswoman Karen Bass, told CBS News that he had reviewed a draft proposal that he thought "was pretty bad." "It's exposing police officers to federal criminal prosecution for, beyond 242. It's not consistent with the conversations we've been having," Graham said, referring to Section 242 of the U.S. Code. Democrats have advocated for changing Section 242 to require a jury to decide whether a law enforcement officer acted with reckless disregard in order to convict, rather than the current standard of "willfulness."Sean "Diddy" Combs on Sunday apologized in a social media post after security video aired by CNN that appears to show him attacking singer Cassie Ventura in a Los Angeles hotel hallway in 2016. In an Instagram video, he said his behavior was "inexcusable" and he takes "full responsibility" for his actions.
On Nov. 13, 2016, Dr. Eric "Scott" Sills, a renowned California fertility doctor, called 911 and reported finding his wife and business partner Susann Sills unresponsive at the bottom of the stairs.

So, he was just laying there.
