Cardinals wide receiver DeAndre Hopkins may have had only three catches on seven targets in Sunday’s loss to the Miami Dolphins, but the four other plays resulted in flags thrown for defensive pass interference.

SOUTH LA (CBSLA) — Eight months after her son was shot and killed, Nicole Williams still can’t believe he’s gone. “Every day I cannot believe this is real. I want to wake up and believe this was a dream,” said Williams. “I love him so much. I miss him so much. It’s an indescribable pain.” The LAPD says on November 14th, Antonio Maurice Wilson, who everyone called Tony, was one of several people standing in a parking lot at a shopping center on 43rd Street and Vermont. The 27-year-old had just picked up his food and was on his way home when someone walked up and fired shots at the crowd. The shooter then ran back to a car where a driver was waiting. They took off, but Antonio was shot many times. At the hospital, his mother Nicole was at his side. “I asked him several times when he was awake, ‘Tony, do you know who did this to you, what happened?’ He just kept saying no, he did not know them. His tears were rolling down, He just kept shaking his head no,” said Williams. After 16 days in the hospital, Tony passed away. Nicole soon focused her energy into helping police find her son’s killer. The LAPD says Tony was an innocent bystander in a shooting that was retaliation against a local rival gang. They believe there were people there who saw the shooter and have information, Nicole is angry they aren’t coming forward. “You are being held hostage in your own community. You can become a victim, your mother, your child, your family member could become a victim of the same people because you’re allowing them to still walk the streets.” As Nicole continues her fight for justice, she’s had to help Tony’s 7-year-old son understand what happened to his father — a loving, funny, and talented singer. She hopes a $50,000 reward will help convince someone to speak up. “Stop being concerned about being a snitch. Be concerned about somebody has lost their life,” said Williams. “We will not stop until the person is arrested and prosecuted.” (© Copyright 2018 The Associated Press. All Rights Reserved.

MINEOLA, N.Y. (CBSNewYork) — Lawmakers in Nassau County were calling Wednesday night for tighter regulations over political messages that end up in your mailbox. As CBS2’s Carolyn Gusoff reported, the lawmakers have been sparring over which mailings – paid for by taxpayers – are fair game. Gina Donovan of Garden City is not a fan of the political fliers that come each day in the mail. “It’s a waste, and it’s a waste for the landfills,” Donovan said. And the fliers cost taxpayers $1.1 million this year – a figure that has Acting Nassau County District Attorney Madeline Singas calling for new guidelines. “Frankly, we’re just tired of Nassau taxpayers having to foot the bill for these self-promotional, blatantly political advertising that gets sent to people’s homes that they’re paying for,” Singas said. Singas said officials have the right to communicate legitimate governmental messages to constituents with public funds, but believes most of the mailings simply seek votes — and should be paid for with campaign funds. Some lawmakers agree, saying rules are fuzzy and lead to abuse. “Taxpayers don’t like this,” said Nassau County Legislator Judy Jacobs (D-Woodbury). “They don’t like to be used as pawns in something that crosses a line of government information.” But the majority in the Nassau County Legislature has not brought the proposal to a vote, calling its own mailings essential “to inform our constituents of our initiatives.” Those mailings invite residents to concerts, workshops, and health screenings at a cost of 25 cents per postcard. But some said the mailings as a whole are a poor use of public funds. “As soon as they come, they go in the garbage,” one resident said. “We want the information about when to take care of our taxes and things like that, but other things like concert series — that’s a waste,” another said. Yet another resident said the mailings are “necessary to know what’s going on.” Donavan said there must be a greener way to get the message out. “Write more in the newspaper, or send letters to the editor,” she said. The State of New York already bards elected officials from using public funds for political purposes. But Singas said current laws are too weak, and said she thinks abusing government mailing privileges ought to be a crime. The proposal affecting the mailings would require them to be clearly labelled with who is footing the bill, and require officials to reimburse Nassau County for mailings that are clearly promotional.
