Bellevue Police will keep SROs at Bryan Middle and Bryan High carrying G.L.O.V.E. shock gloves after declining OPS’s request to ban them; OPS had asked districts to remove the gloves, citing safety concerns, while Bellevue argues the tool is safe and de-escalating. OPD had already agreed to stop carrying GLOVEs in OPS schools, and other area districts are evaluating the tool.
A rusted Cold War-era missile, designed to carry a nuclear warhead, was discovered in a deceased man's garage in Washington state. The relic, identified as a Douglas AIR-2 Genie, was found to be inert and harmless due to the lack of warhead and rocket fuel. The missile, a significant artifact from the Cold War era, was left with a neighbor to be restored for display in a museum, as the military did not request it back. This discovery follows a similar incident in the UK where a couple's garden ornament turned out to be a live bomb from the 19th century.
