After weeks of staying silent despite growing criticism over the interview, CBS published a statement Sunday evening addressing the outrage that ensued after airing two different answers to the same question in the "60 Minutes" interview earlier this month with the Democratic nominee.CBS News infamously aired Harris offering a widely mocked, rambling answer to a critical question about Israel when promoting the interview, but a shorter answer to the same question was shown instead in primetime on "60 Minutes." CBS News’ statement said former President Trump’s claim the "deceitful editing" was used is "false," and explained that producers used a "more succinct" portion of Harris’ answer. CBS NEWS BREAKS ITS SILENCE OVER EDITING ALLEGATIONS IN '60 MINUTES' INTERVIEW WITH HARRIS Former President Trump and others are not pleased with CBS News’ "60 Minutes" over the controversial edit of its interview with Vice President Kamala Harris earlier this month. (Left: (Photo by Spencer Platt/Getty Images), Center: Screenshot/60Minutes, Right: (Photo by Andy Manis/Getty Images))"Instead of releasing the full 60 Minutes interview and transcript, CBS released a statement somehow blaming Donald Trump," Media Research Center founder Brent Bozell told Fox News Digital. "Is CBS a news organization or a Democrat Super PAC?" Bozell added. "If CBS has nothing to hide, it should stop hiding."Fox News contributor Joe Concha noted that it took 14 days for CBS News to put out a statement. "This statement ’60 Minutes’ issued is absolutely meaningless," Concha said Monday on "FOX & Friends First.""The only resolution here is for the program to release the full transcript. Release the hounds, release the interview in its entirety from start to finish, but the network won’t do that," Concha continued. "You know why they won’t do that?"Concha believes there are two reasons why CBS won’t oblige. FOR THIRD YEAR IN A ROW, MORE AMERICANS HAVE ‘NO TRUST’ IN MEDIA THAN THOSE WHO DO: GALLUP Bill Whitaker interviewed Vice President Kamala Harris on an episode of "60 Minutes" that aired earlier this month. (Screenshots/CBS News)"One, the people that run the network want Kamala Harris to win and Donald Trump to lose. This ain’t about journalism, it’s about activism," Concha said. "Two, they know by releasing the transcript, or the unedited video, it will likely show that on multiple occasions, this interview cut the guts out of the various word salad the vice president again served up," he added. "Her campaign now is only reduced to talking about Trump. It’s not working."Former President Trump dramatically called it possibly the "biggest scandal in broadcast history" in a message posted to X. Trump also sent a letter to CBS News demanding it release the unedited transcript. In a copy of the letter obtained by Fox News Digital, Trump's legal counsel Edward Andrew Paltzik, writing on behalf of Trump, said that CBS News "intentionally misled the public by broadcasting a skillfully edited interview transcript… aimed at causing confusion among the electorate regarding Vice President Kamala Harris’s abilities, intelligence, and appeal." OutKick’s Dan Zaksheske said CBS could "release the entire interview or the transcript" and put this ordeal to bed. "It's 2024. It's not like CBS has to air the interview on network television. Put it on YouTube. It would probably get 10 million views. It should be easy and generate additional viewership for the interview," Zaksheske wrote. "The only reason they wouldn't do that is if they don't want people to see the entire interview," he added. "That's what makes people suspicious."Cornell Law School professor William A. Jacobson believes releasing the full transcript is "essential since on its face there seems to be an inconsistency between the two answers aired" by the network. "If in fact CBS News cherry picked different segments of a longer answer, as it claims, then the public still should see the full answer and context. If CBS News has nothing to hide, then why is it hiding the full transcript?" Jacobson told Fox News Digital. The Trump campaign released a scathing comment in response to CBS News’ explanation, and the "60 Minutes" statement was quickly blasted on social media.OLIVIA NUZZI EXITS NY MAGAZINE FOLLOWING RFK JR. RELATIONSHIP REVELATIONS"The way you know that 60 Minutes is 100% guilty and just pissed off about being caught is they released this pathetically defensive statement that almost immediately goes ‘but Trump’ instead of releasing the full transcript of Kamala's interview," conservative influencer Greg Price responded.NewsBusters managing editor Curtis Houck asked, "What are you all hiding?""Publish. The. Transcript," Article 3 Project senior counsel Will Chamberlain responded while celebrity chef Andrew Gruel said, "This just made it worse."Fox News contributor Mollie Hemingway continued calls for CBS to release an unedited transcript. "60 Minutes continues to conceal the unedited transcript of its interview with Kamala Harris. Here, they also lie about the controversy surrounding that transcript. The extent of their deceptive edits must be SIGNIFICANT for them to refuse to release the actual transcript," Hemingway wrote. Hemingway added in a separate post, "RELEASE THE UNEDITED TRANSCRIPT. How bad is what you're hiding?"House Speaker Mike Johnson, R-La., agreed and called for CBS News to "release the FULL transcript and video."‘60 MINUTES' UNDER FIRE FOR KAMALA HARRIS EDITING DECISION,' HAS HISTORY OF LIBERAL CONTROVERSIES"When you're explaining... you're losing," comedian Tim Young added. "Seems like it would be a lot easier to just publish the transcript... Something that btw should be standard procedure for all news organizations for interviews with political candidates," AG Hamilton reacted. Others have mocked CBS News over the explanation: CBS News’ statement insisted the two soundbites of Harris were both in response to correspondent Bill Whitaker asking why it seemed like Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu wasn’t listening to the U.S. "Former President Donald Trump is accusing 60 Minutes of deceitful editing of our Oct. 7 interview with Vice President Kamala Harris. That is false," the statement began."'60 Minutes' gave an excerpt of our interview to ‘Face the Nation’ that used a longer section of her answer than that on ‘60 Minutes.’ Same question. Same answer. But a different portion of the response. When we edit any interview, whether a politician, an athlete, or movie star, we strive to be clear, accurate and on point. The portion of her answer on ‘60 Minutes’ was more succinct, which allows time for other subjects in a wide-ranging 21-minute-long segment."The statement then said that Trump "pulled out of his interview with ‘60 Minutes’ and the vice president participated." The Trump campaign denied that it had ever formally accepted the invitation for the interview."Our long-standing invitation to former President Trump remains open," the statement continued. "If he would like to discuss the issues facing the nation and the Harris interview, we would be happy to have him on 60 Minutes."TRUMP CAMPAIGN FIRES BACK AT '60 MINUTES' AFTER SHOW DEFENDS KAMALA HARRIS EDITING: 'NOT A DENIAL'DePauw University professor Jeffrey McCall said that CBS "may not know it" but a key issue in the campaign is whether Harris can coherently express her positions and thoughts and the statement "hardly puts the matter to rest.""She has developed a reputation as someone who has trouble articulating her rhetorical points, and sometimes ends up speaking in ‘word salads.’ So, when CBS engages in any kind of editing of a news interview with Harris, it is in effect manipulating and altering the content. Given that it is CBS doing the editing, most Americans would presume the editing is being done to help Harris come off as more articulate than she otherwise would," McCall told Fox News Digital. CBS News did not immediately respond on Monday when asked if it would release the transcript. The network has ignored calls to release the transcript or the unedited footage since the controversy began. CLICK HERE TO GET THE FOX NEWS APPFox News Digital’s David Rutz, Joseph A.

Vice President Harris frequently says that if elected she will build a "strong middle class," even as the Biden administration pushes for an electric vehicle mandate that one economist says is out of step with most middle-class Americans."I believe we need to grow our middle class and make sure our economy works for everyone, for people like the people in the neighborhood where I grew up and the hardworking Americans I meet every day across our nation," Harris said at a campaign event in September. "When we invest in those things that strengthen the middle class – manufacturing, housing, health care, education, small businesses, and our communities – we grow our economy and catalyze the entire country to succeed."After becoming the Democrat presidential nominee, Harris said she does not support imposing mandates on electric vehicles. However, the Biden-Harris administration is currently pushing one that an economist says is not practical for the middle class."We know just from the facts that middle-class people are rejecting EVs. There are a lot of reasons why that's happening, why the trend is shifting on EVs, but one of them is the cost. These are $80,000 cars," Stephen Moore, economist and senior visiting fellow in economics at the Heritage Foundation, told Fox News Digital.HARRIS SUPPORT FOR EVS COULD TANK CAMPAIGN IN CRITICAL SWING STATE, EXPERT SAYS Vice President Harris is shown at the Brandywine Maintenance Facility in Brandywine, Md., on Dec. 13, 2021. (Michael Reynolds)The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) announced a final rule in March under the Clean Air Act to set new emissions standards that would require up to two-thirds of new car sales to be electric by 2032. The new standards would affect "light-duty vehicle manufacturers, independent commercial importers, alternative fuel converters, and manufacturers and converters of medium-duty vehicles," according to the EPA's final rule.The rule offers a tax credit of up to $7,500 for qualified purchases, but Moore said that even with the tax credit, EVs are "still out of [middle-class Americans'] price range."HARRIS WON'T SUPPORT EXPANDING FOSSIL FUEL DRILLING, CAMPAIGN SAYS"The idea that you're going to force people to buy $75-, $80- $90,000 cars is going to mean a lot of Americans won't be able to afford to buy a car if you continue with these mandates," he said.Moore added that the Biden-Harris administration mandate, which the House voted to block in September, would prevent those in the middle class from being able to afford a car. Vice President Harris tours the Los Angeles Cleantech Incubator on April 17, 2023. (Eric Thayer)"EVs are cars that wealthy people can afford, but not middle-class people, for the most part. They've got these mandates that say eventually 65% of cars are going to be EVs, but you've only got half that number of people that want to buy EVS. That means that there's going to be a shortage of gas cars, which is the cars that middle-class people can afford," Moore said in an interview with Fox News Digital.The average electric vehicle costs more than $56,000 as of September 2024, according to Kelley Blue Book, a vehicle valuation firm.The average middle-class American earns two-thirds or double the median national household income, which stands at $80,610, according to the U.S. Census Bureau via Federal Reserve Economic Data (FRED). Given the current median, the middle-class income today ranges from about $53,000 to $160,000.A Capital One price analysis on electric vehicles reported that EV purchases are "out of reach of anyone bringing home less than about $120,000 per year," thus excluding most of the middle class from eligibility based on the U.S. Census Bureau via FRED average.Recent surveys suggest that most middle-class Americans are not currently looking to purchase an electric vehicle. Drivers charge their Teslas in Fountain Valley, Calif., on March 20, 2024. (Jeff Gritchen)A Gallup survey released in April found that only 5% of middle-income Americans own an electric vehicle and that 44% would not consider buying one. Additional polling from Pew Research, released in June, found that three in 10 Americans would seriously consider buying an electric vehicle."Why are EVs practical for anyone (not just the middle class)? They offer a superior driving experience. They are quieter, smoother and have far superior acceleration," John Higham, Electric Vehicle Association Board of Directors, argued that electric vehicles can be more practical for middle class citizens.Higham noted the factor of charging as a main reason every household might not be ready for an electric vehicle. "I think most importantly is EVs can be more economical to drive. Note I said "can be." They can also be more expensive to drive and I see a lot of math tilted to show that later instead of demonstrating the former," Higham told Fox News Digital. "Then if EVs are nicer to drive and can cost less than a gasoline counterpart, why aren't they for everyone one? It comes down to charging. If you can charge at home, you are likely a good candidate for an EV. If not, then probably not."CLICK HERE TO GET THE FOX NEWS APPFox News Digital reached out to the Harris campaign for comment.

(AP Photo/Evan Vucci)Like ElectionBettingOdds.com, the RealClearPolitics betting average shows Trump as the favorite with a 59% chance to win the election as of Monday.Trump’s chances of winning the election have dramatically risen over the last few weeks, with his Democrat opponent, Vice President Harris, being the betting favorite on RealClearPolitics as recently as Oct. 4. But Trump took the lead the next day and hasn’t looked back, eventually rising to the nearly 20 percentage-point advantage the former president enjoyed on Monday.For Lott, looking at betting averages gives people a much clearer picture of what the most likely outcome of the election is compared to trying to piece together polls."These are really accurate, they’re more accurate than just trying to look at polls or especially more accurate than listening to pundits bloviating," Lott said."[The bettors] look at all sorts of historical data, they look at trends," he added. "I find the percent more useful than the polls."CHECK OUT THE LATEST FOX NEWS POWER RANKINGS IN THE 2024 ELECTION Democrat presidential candidate Vice President Harris speaks to the media at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee on Oct. 17, 2024. (SAUL LOEB/AFP via Getty Images)Lott, who previously served as a program executive producer for the Fox Business Network, also noted that people risk their own money to make a bet on an outcome, creating a market that has the ability to "discipline people" who get it wrong."If you’re not very smart, or very biased, you’re going to lose your money pretty quickly, and then maybe you won’t bet again next election," Lott said.While betting on elections is newer than more well-known gambling pastimes such as sports betting and casino games, Lott said the market has become robust enough to offer election followers a glimpse into what the most likely outcome will be."Last cycle we had more than a billion dollars traded. That’s still [not] that much if you compare it to … the stock market or something, but it’s enough that we have a reliable indicator, and that’s what [is] important to us as users who just want to know what’s going to happen," Lott said.

(AP Photo/Matt Rourke)CLICK HERE TO GET THE FOX NEWS APPAs for Trump’s lead, Lott said it likely reflects an end to the "honeymoon period" Harris enjoyed after being elevated as the Democrat nominee, noting that Trump had risen to around 70% likely to win the election before President Biden dropped his bid for re-election and has bounced back into the lead once again."Things have kind of reverted back to the mean where – it is a tough cycle for Democrats with things like inflation and immigration, and so maybe for a couple months people were like, ‘Oh, Harris, this is interesting, this is new, this is refreshing,’ and then it’s kind of sinking in: 'This is the same administration we didn’t like with Biden," Lott said.Get the latest updates from the 2024 campaign trail, exclusive interviews and more at our Fox News Digital election hub.

While the Tampa Bay Buccaneers lost two key pieces of their offense on Monday night, Lamar Jackson was absolutely cooking on offense to lead the Baltimore Ravens to a 41-31 victory. The Ravens are now 5-2 on the year, while the Bucs fell to 4-3. This was the definition of a primetime matchup as Jackson and Baker Mayfield, two quarterbacks that are MVP candidates at the moment, went head-to-head in the Sunshine State. CLICK HERE FOR MORE SPORTS COVERAGE ON FOXNEWS.COM Baltimore Ravens wide receiver Rashod Bateman (7) is congratulated by quarterback Lamar Jackson (8) after he scored a touchdown against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers during the second half at Raymond James Stadium. (Kim Klement Neitzel-Imagn Images)These quarterbacks combined for eight total touchdown passes. It was Jackson providing five of them in an incredible performance to bolster his own MVP resume. Jackson was 17-of-22 through the air for 281 yards, finding his tight end Mark Andrews twice for a touchdown, while Derrick Henry, Justice Hill, and Rashod Bateman each caught their own score from their dynamic quarterback as well. Meanwhile, the Bucs’ key pieces that were lost in this game were Mayfield’s top two targets, Mike Evans and Chris Godwin, the latter of which could be done for the rest of the season after head coach Todd Bowles revealed early indications that he suffered a dislocated ankle with 43 seconds left in the game. RAVENS FAN SEEN IN VIRAL FIGHT VIDEO TURNS HIMSELF INTO POLICE, FACES MULTIPLE ASSAULT CHARGESThe ESPN broadcast wouldn’t even show Godwin’s injury, though the initial view saw his ankle in the wrong direction after Patrick Queen rolled up on it while making a tackle. He was quickly placed in an air cast and carted off the field. Evans, who was already dealing with a hamstring injury entering Monday night, hauled in his only catch for a touchdown on a 25-yard strike to open the scoring in this game on the Bucs’ first drive. But, two drives later, he couldn’t haul in another deep touchdown pass from Mayfield and he immediately clutched his right leg after being called by Brandon Stephens, who was also injured on the play. Evans was quickly ruled out for the remainder of the game. For the Ravens, Zay Flowers got banged up on the Ravens’ opening drive after an 11-yard catch, where replay showed he had his ankle rolled up on. He would only get one target from Jackson on the night, but No. 8 was spreading the ball around to his receivers as he dissected Tampa Bay’s defense to the pleasure of all Ravens fans. Bateman needed just four catches to rack up a game-high 121 yards with his touchdown that went for 49 yards in the third quarter. He hauled in a 59-yard bomb down the field from Jackson in the first half, too, after the quarterback scrambled out of a broken pocket and directed him mid-play to get him open.

(AP Photo/Chris O'Meara)It also appears Andrews, Jackson’s trustee tight end from years past, is getting more involved by the week, as he had another solid game with his two scores and 41 yards on four catches. And, of course, the NFL’s best rushing offense saw Henry have another elite game with 169 yards on the ground on just 15 carries, including an 81-yard sprint down the field before he was stopped. Mayfield did his best to get back into this game, though, as Jackson and the Ravens’ offense racked up a 34-10 lead near the end of the third quarter. The Bucs scored 21 fourth-quarter points, as Rachaad White hauled in two touchdown passes from Mayfield, while his running back counterpart Bucky Irving also got in from one yard out.

Meanwhile, the Ravens now own a five-game win streak after starting the year 0-2.Follow Fox News Digital’s sports coverage on X, and subscribe to the Fox News Sports Huddle newsletter.

I cast my early vote for Donald Trump and J.D. Vance Monday morning. Business was brisk at the Virginia polling station as it has been across the country. Virginia’s state elections are "off-year," so the big early turnout here is really about the interest generated in the presidential race—bolstered by the Senate candidacy of Captain Hung Cao (USN, Ret.)Republicans are running six veterans for Senate this year, and they all have a chance to win. Cao, who was a Special Operations Officer (Explosive Ordnance Disposal and Deep Sea Diving), is closing on Senator Tim Kaine in Virginia as Trump momentum picks up in the Commonwealth, assisted by the non-stop efforts of popular Governor Glenn Youngkin. If Senate seats were selected on the basis of merit and diversity, Cao would be a shoo-in. Indiana Congressman Jim Banks is a Navy veteran who did reserve duty in Afghanistan for a year while serving in Indiana’s state senate. Banks has all but been declared the winner but he is running through the tape. Captain Sam Brown was medically retired from the U.S. Military as a Captain after graduating from West Point and being deployed to Afghanistan where he was grievously injured by an IED. The Purple Heart recipient is behind incumbent Democrat Jackie Rosen but Trump’s appeal in the Silver State may help Brown pull off an enormous upset. CLICK HERE FOR MORE FOX NEWS OPINIONIn Montana, Tim Sheehy is solidly ahead in the polls, and will likely defeat incumbent John Tester early on election night. Sheehy, a United States Naval Academy graduate, completed several deployments and hundreds of missions as a Navy SEAL Officer and Team Leader, deploying to Iraq, Afghanistan, South America, and the Pacific region. Since leaving the Navy Sheehy started the very successful Bridger Aerospace and its sister company, Ascent Vision Technologies. Republican presidential nominee and former U.S. President Donald Trump and Dave McCormick, Republican candidate for U.S. Senate for Pennsylvania, shake hands during a campaign event in Reading, Pennsylvania, U.S. October 9, 2024. REUTERS/Jeenah Moon (REUTERS/Jeenah Moon)Another service academy grad is David McCormick, who is a West Point alum and a former member of the 82nd Airborne Division. McCormick is in a statistical tie with incumbent Bob Casey, Jr. who’s fallen behind McCormick in some polls primarily because Casey is a down-the-line Biden supporter. Pennsylvania has been moving right for two decades even as Casey moved left. DAVID MARCUS: TRUMP'S MCDONALD's VISIT SERVED UP FOUR BRILLIANT POLITICAL MOMENTSVirginia’s Cao is also a naturalized American, one of two Senate GOP candidates who were born in countries other than the U.S. and who came through the legal immigration process. The other is Ohio’s Bernie Moreno, who was born in Columbia and whose family emigrated first to Florida when he was a child. Moreno has climbed into a tie with forever politician Sherrod Brown who left Yale 50 years ago and promptly went into the Ohio legislature and has never not been on the government’s state or federal payroll since then. Brown is a hard left vote in the Senate, but for decades and decades the last name of Brown meant gold on Election Day in Ohio, but it is Moreno with the momentum and the sparkle in this race. Brown is old, looks tired and is out of step with the ruby red Buckeye State. Republicans are also competitive with more traditional GOP candidates but in states that are usually lay-ups for Democrats. In Maryland the popular former governor Larry Hogan is going to benefit even in deep blue Montgomery County because of his steadfast support of Israel.Businessman Eric Hovde has Wisconsin incumbent Tammy Baldwin begging the national Democratic Party to send help. Kari Lake is gaining on Ruben Gallegos in Arizona as voters focus on the genuinely radical—not "liberal" or "left wing" but radical—Gallegos. Nella Domenici has a shot at taking back her late father’s place in the U.S. Senate from Mexico. And the upset of the year is likely to be in Michigan, where former FBI agent and Chair of the House Intelligence Committee Mike Rogers is the strongest candidate the Republicans have offered the Michigan electorate in decades. Rogers began his adult life with a four-year stint as a Lieutenant in the U.S. Army. He went right from the Army into the FBI and then Congress. CLICK HERE TO GET THE FOX NEWS APPThe ground may be shifting nationally towards Trump as Vice President Harris’s panicked shift from a cloistered castle of a campaign to a cluster-up goat rodeo of interviews has sent her supporters back to the bench in droves. Could she turn it around in the last two weeks? Perhaps. But she’d have to do some impressive and difficult interviews to pull that off. It’s possible.

( Keith Bratcher/Rutgers New Jersey Medical School)"A patient who had been hospitalized for many days became so frustrated that he was on the verge of checking himself out against medical advice," she said in a press release.

My attending [physician] suggested I do something about it."After gathering some supplies from around the hospital, Ravikumar gave the patient an impromptu haircut.HURRICANE HELENE CAUSES DIRE IV FLUID SHORTAGE AT HOSPITALS NATIONWIDE"He requested a ‘faux hawk,’ and I did my best to deliver," she said. "We laughed and talked through the whole process, and I learned a lot about him. When I finished, he was in much better spirits and trusted his health care team more than before."Motivated to extend the services to more patients, Ravikumar recruited several NJMS student volunteers, and Bergen Barbers was born.Self-taught skillsThe students, who had no haircutting or shaving experience, picked up some basic skills by watching YouTube videos."We learned how to use a clipper and how to give a basic haircut," Ravikumar said.

"And it has very much turned into a David versus Goliath, the people versus the establishment machine."The reforms would boost Dallas police staffing and pay, tie the city manager’s pay to performance and allow citizens to take legal action against city leaders for not abiding by the city code.BODYCAM SHOWS WILD HOUSTON GUNFIGHT AS OFFICERS RESPOND TO ACTIVE HOME INVASION ROBBERY Pete Marocco, executive director of Dallas HERO, discussed three amendments on the ballot in Dallas. The amendments are focused on increasing safety and accountability in law enforcement. (Fox News Digital)The three amendments:Proposition SProposition S would allow Dallas residents to sue the city and require it to comply with charter provisions, ordinances and state law. It would also waive the city’s governmental immunity from lawsuits and liabilities under the amendment."The reason we need this in the charter is that this gives residents of Dallas standing to hold the city accountable when it refuses to enforce the law," Marocco said. "If you read the amendment, it says very clearly in there, this is just for injunctive and declaratory relief after a 60 days notice," he said. "If the city is following the law, if the city is compliant, even after 60 days notice, they've got nothing to worry about."Proposition TIf approved, Proposition T would make use of an annual survey and either add or subtract from the city manager's salary based on performance."We're proposing to have a city manager-performance-based compensation package that says if you are not delivering results on crime, on homelessness, on litter on-streets and infrastructure and on aggressive panhandling – then you are going to be fired," Marocco said. "And if you do very well, then you're going to be able to get a performance-based compensation that's up to 100% of your salary."

He said that the Dallas Police Department currently does not have the minimum number of police officers mandated by previous legislation, and the amendment would ramp up hiring for the city to have three officers per 1,000 citizens.DALLAS POLICE MOURN OFFICER ‘EXECUTED’ IN LINE OF DUTY: ‘WE OWE HIM EVERYTHING’The amendment would also increase police salaries, he said, noting that Dallas police officers make $12,000 less than some suburban towns outside city limits."There's a very crafty way that the city council has decided to avoid directly defunding the police by simply making life intolerable to police and driving them away," he said.Marocco said that the need for better funding for police is paramount for public safety."Dallas has a $5 billion budget. The amount of money we're talking about to adequately staff the police force is about one penny on the dollar," he said.

(Justin Sullivan/Getty Images)Marocco said that the shortage of officers has created delayed response times for reported crimes and a lack of a police presence in the city."When you have police only responding late because they are understaffed, and you have police officers responding to a murder, a shooting or a stabbing in 15 minutes," he said. "This is very serious.""We also know people who have reported property crime and never received a police response," he said.

We're also seeing Venezuelan gangs," he said. "We had one recently threaten a woman and threaten to cut off her fingers and torture her in her house. It's just horrible to see what is happening here." As other major U.S. cities double down on policing in response to an increase in homicides and violent crime, Dallas officials are taking a different approach. (Dylan Hollingsworth/Bloomberg via Getty Images)The Dallas HERO project has faced hurdles to get Amendments S, T, and U on the ballot in November. Marocco shared that the group has faced litigation from the city council – and won – after successfully taking it to the Texas Supreme Court."We got on the ballot through a lot of hard work and advocacy, and then we actually had to litigate," he said.

"When voters go to the polls and early voting starts next week, we need people to vote on the last three propositions. S-T and U."Dallas Mayor Pro Tem Tennell Atkins said during a City Council meeting in August that the proposal could send the city back to "the Dark Ages," KERA News reported."Overall, you would be looking at drastic, very extreme, cuts that we would have to make across the board," Interim City Manager Kimblery Tolbert told the council, according to KERA News. "And that’s not just day-to-day, but that’s a drastic cut in every single service we provide at the city."Fox News Digital has reached out to the Dallas City Council, Dallas city manager and Dallas Police Department for comment.

The Arizona Cardinals kicked a game-winning field goal as time expired to defeat the Los Angeles Chargers, and a controversial unnecessary roughness penalty helped them to the 17-15 victory. Chargers kicker Cameron Dicker buried his fifth field goal of the night in Glendale, Arizona to put his squad up 15-14 with less than two minutes to play. But it was more than enough time for Kyler Murray and the Cardinals’ offense to get down the field and try at least a field goal of their own to move to 3-4 on the year. That’s exactly what happened, as Chad Ryland split the uprights with his 32-yard attempt, pushing the Chargers to 3-3 on the year following their bye week.

(IMAGN)However, a key call was made by officials on second-and-10 from the Arizona 30-yard line, as a pass from Murray to rookie first-rounder Marvin Harrison Jr. went incomplete with two Chargers defenders hitting him just as he dropped it. A yellow flag was spotted on the field after the play, though, and Cam Hart was called for unnecessary roughness after what officials believed was a hit of the head on a defenseless receiver in Harrison. It’s something the league has been cracking down on, and the call was made accordingly.It was a massive momentum shift, as the Cardinals, instead of facing third-and-10 in their own territory, were now close to midfield. CHARGERS' JIM HARBAUGH SAYS CARDIOLOGIST TOLD HIM HE HAS ‘THE HEART OF AN ATHLETE’ FOLLOWING MEDICAL SCAREUpon video replay, Hart’s helmet appeared to make contact with Harrison’s, though it wasn’t a clear helmet-to-helmet situation in real time. Hart also seems to be turning his shoulder, as he knows well that hits leading with the helmet are not allowed in the league. NFL fans on social media, though, were fuming about the call."When did the NFL get so soft! SOFTEST unnecessary roughness call I’ve ever seen!" one X user wrote. Another added: "Chargers were the wrong side, but man. This is what unnecessary roughness is now?"Either way, the Cardinals utilized their new field position well, as running back James Conner caught a pass from Murray and took it 33 yards to the Los Angeles 22-yard line on the very next play, setting his team up perfectly for the field goal.

(Joe Camporeale-Imagn Images)The Cardinals ran down the clock until it was time for Ryland to seal the victory. While this call will be talked about on Tuesday morning, the Chargers had other miscues in this game, including right out the gate after an interception was stripped by Conner on the first drive and, ultimately, Arizona escaped by just punting the ball away. Then, on the Chargers’ first offensive drive of the game, Justin Herbert found Jalen Raegor down the left sideline for a 41-yard strike that appeared to be destined for a touchdown, but he fumbled the ball, and it was recovered by the Cardinals in the end zone, resulting in a touchback. Despite Herbert throwing for 349 yards, a season-high for him, the Chargers just couldn’t get into the end zone as Dicker was needed more times than head coach Jim Harbaugh wanted. Meanwhile, Murray found Greg Dortch for the first touchdown of this game in the second quarter to put the Cardinals up 7-6 by halftime. Then, in the fourth quarter, Murray scampered out for a 44-yard rushing score that made it a 14-9 game.
