Age : 44 ans

Occupation/métier : Il est officiellement dans le business de la nuit. À vous de tirer des conclusions. Propositions d'avatars/avatar : Charlie Hunnam

Contexte de Son Arrivée à Clearwater Springs Valley:

Pendant trois ans, Jonathan traqua Norah sans relâche, ses sbires toujours sur ses talons. Finalement, Norah fut capturée par les agents du Service canadien du renseignement de sécurité (RCMP) et se retrouva face à un choix : la prison ou la coopération. Elle choisit de témoigner contre Jonathan, espérant ainsi se libérer de son emprise.

Jonathan fut arrêté et condamné, mais sa soif de vengeance ne s'éteignit pas. Profitant de ses contacts et de sa ruse, il planifia une évasion audacieuse lors de son transfert en prison. De retour dans la nature, Jonathan n'avait qu'un seul objectif : retrouver Norah et la faire payer pour sa trahison.

U.S. Marshals settle decades-old claims of racism by hundreds of employees

It was over 29 years ago that Matthew Fogg, a retired chief deputy U.S. marshal, first filed a class-action lawsuit against the U.S. Marshals Service, alleging that a toxic environment of racism and discrimination permeated one of the country’s oldest federal law enforcement agencies and undercut career advancement opportunities for its Black employees.

Since then, the suit’s class — estimated to include more than 700 current and former Black deputy marshals and detention enforcement officers, plus thousands of Black applicants who were not hired — had been stuck in a sort of legal limbo, as the case was dismissed, reinstated and expanded over nearly three decades.

That is until Tuesday, when the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, which enforces federal laws against job discrimination and harassment, granted preliminary approval of a $15 million settlement in one of the longest-running racial discrimination class actions in history.

“It’s a great sense of relief in a case that went on for an unusual length of time,” David Sanford, lead counsel for the class, told The Washington Post. “This was hard-fought over many years, with a lot of litigation, a lot of depositions, a lot of documents, a lot of people, a lot of witnesses — all leading to a legal battle that lasted for decades. But fortunately, it’s over now.” Marshals Service employees have alleged racism for decades. Their case may finally be heard.

Throughout the litigation process, the U.S. Marshals Service denied wrongdoing. Though an equal-employment expert hired by the plaintiffs found that Black employees were significantly underrepresented in prestigious divisions and for promotions between 2007 and 2012, the agency argued that the analysis was flawed. A Marshals Service spokesman declined to comment on the class action’s allegations and instead referred The Post to a news release announcing that a settlement had been reached.

A final approval of the settlement is expected early next year, Sanford said. The agreement’s terms also stipulate that the Marshals Service will institute measures meant to enhance inclusion and transparency in its recruitment and promotions processes, as well as provide implicit-bias training to its employees — something Sanford said he hoped would achieve greater equity not only within the service, but across the federal government.

“This was another wake-up call for the federal government,” he said. “The federal government should be the shining light and standard by which everyone else operates. This shows that the U.S. government, like so many entities in corporate America, has fallen short. But hopefully as a result of the settlement, things will be better in the future at the Marshals Service and in the rest of the government.”

Yet for some plaintiffs, settling for $15 million in a court case that has spanned five U.S. presidencies — even as some of its plaintiffs have died — seemed like too little, too late

REVIEW

Bad River by Marc Cameron

Arliss Cutter #6

Excellent ~ Wonderful addition to the Series ~ Couldn’t put it down!

What I liked:

* Arliss: U.S. Marshall, ex-military, strong, capable, lethal, team player, there for his family and friends, hunter of men, lives by his Grandpa Grumpy’s rules and shares them with his nieces and nephews, a man I would want on my side

* Lola: U.S. Marshall, partnered often with Arliss, in a relationship with Joe Bill Brackett, strong, focused, great at her work, thinks of Arliss as a big brother, from “Down Under”, growing as the series progresses

* The prologue of missing Willadean and how it played into the plot – she had so much to live for and then was suddenly gone

* Catching up with Arliss’s widowed sister-in-law Mim, his niece and nephews, finding out how they are doing, and the way the relationship between Arliss and Mim is progressing

* The plot, pacing, setting, and writing

* The Dupree thread in the story and how he was eventually taken down

* Finding out how and why Arliss’s brother Ethan died/was murdered

* Tony Caprese: newbie pilot who finds himself and grows a pair in this story – would like to see him again

* Detective Jan Hough: strong, resilient, went through a lot, hope she shows up in the future

* The police procedural aspects of the story and the way everything was tied up

* Too many things to list, actually

What I didn’t like: * Who and what I was meant not to like

* Thinking about the ways a person can die in Alaska…oh my!

* Thinking about the evil people are willing to do for greed…and the crimes in this book

Did I like this book? Yes

Would I read more in this series? Definitely

Thank you to NetGalley and Kensington Books for the ARC – This is my honest review.

BLURB

From a remote village perched on Arctic permafrost to the Badlands of South Dakota, searching for answers about his brother sets Arliss Cutter on an icy trail of murder and madness into the darkest heart of the Alaskan wilderness. In the Inupiaq village of Wainwright on the Arctic Ocean, two teenagers discover a frozen body in the permafrost wall of their family’s cellar. They recognize the face through the ice. It is the face of a young woman who went missing—two years ago . . . In South Dakota, Arliss Cutter searches for answers surrounding his brother’s mysterious death. But his visit only raises more questions without any leads. Until he returns to Alaska—and learns that his brother had something in common with the frozen body in the ice cellar . . . Inside the young woman’s pocket is a fossilized animal tooth—similar to the one Arliss’s brother picked up on a trip to South Dakota. A bizarre coincidence? Or are the two connected somehow? Before Arliss can figure it out, his brother’s widow and children become the targets of a brutal home invasion. Arliss arrives on the scene in time to save them—but his actions trigger a larger investigation that puts his own neck on the line. From South Dakota to Anchorage to the Inupiaq villages of the Arctic, Arliss follows this bloodstained trail of clues to a remote lodge on the banks of the Kobuk River. Here, in this unforgiving wilderness, he will find the answers he seeks. Here, in this untamed, often violent land, he will come face to face with the terrible truth—and the man behind his brother’s murder . . .

Being a kid who loved police procedurals and cop dramas and crime shows, even the flashy American ones, who grew up to be anti-authoritarian, pro-defunding the police, ACAB makes trying to watch films you liked when you were eleven really weird.
