Woman urges NC lawmakers to end child marriage: For her it was a ‘life sentence’
North Carolina and Alaska are the only two states that allow 14-year-olds to marry.
Sen. Danny Britt, a Lumberton Republican, said his colleagues have told him they support the intent behind the original bill draft, which would have banned all child marriages, but couldn’t vote to pass it because they either married as minors, married a minor or know someone who married as a minor.

Police union goes to bat for Chicago officer charged in US Capitol riot
The Chicago chapter of the Fraternal Order of Police union is going to bat for one of its members who stormed the US Capitol and now might lose his job with the Chicago Police Department.
The revelation came in court filings one week after police who responded to the January 6 attack publicly blasted the union, and other unions, for not doing enough to support officers who protected the Capitol.
The vice president for the Chicago chapter of the Fraternal Order of Police union sent a letter to court officials saying that the union will try to block Chwiesiuk's possible firing and will "start the grievance process to get Officer Chwiesiuk into a pay-status" if he gets back his firearm ID card.
