Louisiana judge resigns and apologizes following video with racial slurs
CNN
A Lafayette, Louisiana, city court judge resigned Friday over a video that surfaced earlier this month showing people using racist language at her home.
Michelle Odinet apologized and took a leave of absence after the video became public. It showed surveillance footage -- being played on a television at her house -- of an outdoor altercation with a burglary suspect.
As the unseen spectators watch the video, they comment on the footage while repeatedly using a racial slur, CNN has reported.

Janet Mills and her allies are counting on a gender gap to narrow Platner’s wide lead ahead of the June 9 primary to decide who will face incumbent Republican Sen. Susan Collins. They are betting that the unfiltered style that has brought Platner widespread attention as someone who could help Democrats reach young men will backfire with women.

As a shrinking number of Transportation Security Administration agents work to keep hourslong security lines moving despite not being paid, President Donald Trump stepped into the fray Saturday, announcing he will send Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers to airports by Monday if Congress doesn’t agree to a plan to end the partial government shutdown.
