• Rhode Island police officer caught on video tasing a handcuffed man will resign in December (bostonglobe.com) — Central Falls officials have reached a settlement allowing a local police officer, recorded tasing a handcuffed man outside JD's Bar, to resign in December after a 30-day unpaid suspension and administrative reassignment. The city released the agreement and will not fight his unemployment claim, raising important questions for residents about police accountability and how misconduct cases are resolved locally.
   

• Potential school bus strike put on hold amid negotiations (turnto10.com) — Central Falls families who rely on First Student buses should know a potential drivers' strike has been delayed while the company and Teamsters Local 251 keep negotiating. The dispute covers several districts, including Central Falls, and could still disrupt school transportation if talks fail, so parents may want backup plans while both sides work toward a contract.
