In an emotional testimony, the police officer, who shot and killed Daunte Wright, testified at manslaughter trial in the United States on Friday. &nbsp;&nbsp;

The suburban Minneapolis cop said that she didn't plan to use deadly force that day. &nbsp;

On being questioned by prosecutor, the cop, Kim Potter, went in tears and said, at times "I didn't want to hurt anybody," and finally, "I'm sorry it happened." &nbsp;

The 49-year-old cop said that she looked to use Taser to subdue Wright when he pulled away from the officers and was getting back in his car, but accidently shot him once with handgun. &nbsp;

Not just this, the cop said that she wouldn't have pulled over his car if she had not been training another officer. &nbsp;&nbsp;

Before the defence rested case, Potter was the final witness. The cop said that she shot Wright in a moment of chaos on April 11 at Brooklyn Center. She and other officers were looking to arrest him over an outstanding warrant for a weapons violation. &nbsp;

According to prosecutors, Potter was an experienced officer, who had got training in use of Taser and deadly force. Her actions were unreasonable. &nbsp;&nbsp;

Meanwhile, attorneys of the police officer, who has quit, said that she made a mistake. But could be justified in using deadly force if she had meant to as another officer was also at risk of being dragged by Wright's car. &nbsp;

An annual survey by the National Institute on drug abuse has revealed that drug and alcohol use among teenagers in the US saw a massive dip in 2021. The researchers have recorded the largest single-year decline since 1975. "The 2021 survey reported significant decreases in use across many substances, including those most commonly used in adolescence – alcohol, marijuana, and vaped nicotine," read a press release.

The survey urged students from different classes to come together and report their substance use over various periods. As a part of the survey, responses from over 32,000 students were recorded, both in public and private schools in the US.

Nora Volkow, MD, NIDA director, in the press release said, "We have never seen such dramatic decreases in drug use among teens in just a one-year period. These data are unprecedented and highlight one unexpected potential consequence of the COVID-19 pandemic, which caused seismic shifts in the day-to-day lives of adolescents."

She further added, "Moving forward, it will be crucial to identify the pivotal elements of this past year that contributed to decreased drug use – whether related to drug availability, family involvement, differences in peer pressure, or other factors – and harness them to inform future prevention efforts.”

The results were gathered using a broad geographic and representative sample. It was then concluded that 11.3 per cent of the students who took the survey were African American, 16.7 per cent were Hispanic, 5 per cent were Asian, 0.9 per cent were American Indian or Alaska Native. The remaining 13.8 per cent were multiple, and 51.2 per cent were white.&nbsp;

The survey further urged students to talk about their mental health amid the ongoing pandemic. Various students reported an increase in feelings of boredom, anxiety, depression, loneliness and worry.&nbsp;

Police in Ohio were left with awe and shock when they discovered a dismantled 58-foot bridge that was stolen last month.

Cops said that that they “have not heard of anything that large stolen” ever in their careers.

According to reports, thieves had disassembled a 58-foot bridge installed in a field near a creek in&nbsp;Akron, Ohio.

On November 3, locals found that the treated deck boards on the bridge had been removed. And about a week later, the entire structure was stolen from the area.

Police said the bridge was installed in the early 2000s as part of a restoration project, but the city later decided to use it for another project and kept it in the field for later use.

Although it is not clear why the bridge became the victim of their heist, but police suspect that they wanted to sell it to scraps for money.

But little did they know that the material of the bridge, measuring 10-feet wide and six-feet high, is composed of polymer-based materials, which, the police said, is hard to sell and recycle.

The bizarre incident has left the police baffled who were wondering how the thieves managed to get away with it.

“I have not heard of anything that large — albeit it disassembled but actually stolen, I can’t think of anything comparable in my 22 years [at the Akron Police Department],” Lt. Michael Miller told News 5 Cleveland.

“We know it will be met with mystery and questions: who and how and why? All of those are unanswered. It ranks high on the list of mysteries, that’s for sure,” he added.

The value of the structure is estimated to be about $40,000 by the city’s engineering department.
