Well, Good Morning!   Let's take a look at what the day has in store for us.   So, let's dig in, shall we? Here's What You Need To Know... Officers, paramedics indicted in the 2019 death of Elijah McClain Five suburban Denver police officers and medics have been indicted by a Colorado grand jury in connection with the 2019 death of Elijah McClain, a young Black man walking home from the store. Police responded to a call about McClain wearing a ski mask and looking "sketchy." The three officers involved in the incident said their body cameras were knocked off during a struggle with McClain.   After McClain was forced onto the ground with his hands behind his back, paramedics used ketamine to sedate him. McClain, still on the scene, went into cardiac arrest; three days after arriving at the hospital, he was declared brain dead and cut off from life support. The report about the investigation into McClain's death is particularly damning.   Officers Randy Roedema, Nathan Woodyard and Jason Rosenblatt and fire department paramedic Jeremy Cooper and fire Lt. Peter Cichuniec were charged with manslaughter and criminally negligent homicide. Roedema and Rosenblatt also were charged with second-degree assault with intent to cause bodily injury and one count of a crime of violence related to the assault charge. Cooper and Cichuniec also each face three counts of second-degree assault. This man who berated a TV reporter during live coverage faces charges Earlier this week, an NBC News correspondent was reporting on Hurricane Ida in Gulfport, Mississippi when, in the middle of his live coverage, a random man charged, seemingly out of nowhere, verbally berating him. Now, police have identified the suspect as Benjamin Eugene Dagley, from Ohio, and have slapped him with criminal charges. The only problem? Dagley, who was on probation in his home state, has already fled the area.    The live shot shows reporter Shaquille Brewster discussing the weather when a white pickup truck sharply turns off the road and pulls over behind him. That's when Dagley is seen running toward Brewster, shouting "report accurately." Brewster had attempted to divert attention away from the man by pivoting to another camera angle, but it didn't work. The live shot then switched back to Craig Melvin, in the studio.   "Hey, hey, hey," Melvin said. "We're going to check in with Shaqu Brewster just to make sure all is well. There's a lot of crazy out there, a lot of crazy...One of our correspondents was disrupted by some wacky guy during his live shot there in Mississippi. Pleased to report that Shaquille Brewster is doing just fine."   On Twitter, he added: "Shaq is ok. This guy who nearly attacked him clearly is not."  What does the new Texas abortion law mean for the nation? The Lone Star State drew considerable attention Wednesday for a law that bans most abortions after six weeks of pregnancy, a prohibition that took effect while the U.S. Supreme Court was considering an emergency appeal asking that the law be blocked. Texas is one of several states to approve a wave of laws in recent years seeking to roll back abortions.   Joe Biden released a statement criticizing the law and affirming the White House's support of Roe v. Wade, the 1973 ruling that legalized abortion. "This extreme Texas law blatantly violates the constitutional right established under Roe v. Wade and upheld as a precedent for nearly half a century," Biden said in the statement.   White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki said in May that President Biden is "committed to codifying" Roe v. Wade into law. Biden's opponents are staunchly against any such action. The Catholic church reportedly denies Biden communion for his stance on abortion. Anti-abortion groups celebrated the Texas ban and said it could be a model for other conservative states. Know Someone Else Who'd Love The Seven At 7?
