Military raises security status at U.S. bases because of ISIS threat Posted: 08 May 2015 10:00 AM PDT Military bases and installations in the United States have been ordered to raise their force protection condition status to Bravo (FPCON Bravo), due to general concerns about ISIS related threats, but not because of any specific threat or plot.

U.S. Justice Dept. opens civil rights probe into Baltimore police Posted: 08 May 2015 10:14 AM PDT By Julia Edwards WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The U.S. Justice Department on Friday launched an investigation into the Baltimore police department's use of force and whether there are patterns of discriminatory policing.

The Justice Department has conducted similar reviews of U.S. police departments. An investigation of police in Ferguson, Missouri, where a white officer shot dead an unarmed black teenager last year, concluded in March that the department routinely engaged in racially biased practices.
