Number 1 The South Carolina sherrif’s deputy who violently flipped a student backward in her desk and tossed her across the classroom faces losing his job Wednesday. Videos of the confrontation that stemmed from an African American girl refusing to leave class created outrage that pointed to racial bias and even prompted the FBI to assist in an investigation. Senior Deputy Ben Fields was suspended without pay after he dragged the student by her neck before handcuffing her. Number 2 Rights groups for Muslims and Arab-Americans called on Walmart Tuesday to stop selling two Halloween Costumes on its website that they say are offensive and could lead to anti-Arab-American hate crimes. The costumes, named Israeli “Soldier Kids Costume” and “Sheik Fagin Nose” created backlash on social media prompting the American-Arab Anti-Discrimination Committee to contact Walmart. The Israeli soldier costume consists of a green military uniform, beret, a toy gun, and a product description saying that Israeli soldiers are defenders of Jewish heritage. Number 3 A new bill introduced in Congress Wednesday would allow federal regulators to scrutinize gun shops whose products have been linked to violent crime. The Gun Dealer Accountability Act was sponsored by Wisconsin Democrat Gwen Moore and gives the ATF the right to do inspections and require lists of guns sold at these stores for a period of up to two years. Number 4 A study has found that diners ordering salmon at restaurants were misled 67% of the time about the quality of the fish. Oceana, an advocacy organization, said farmed salmon was often mislabeled as more expensive and sustainable wild salmon. According to the organization, because of outsourced processing of U.S. fish, it is hard to trace salmon’s origin when it returns to United States restaurants. Number 5 A NASA spacecraft will soon make its deepest dive into the icy plume of a Saturn Moon, according to NASA officials. NASA has said that Saturn’s moon Enceladus definitely has a subterranean ocean and may contain conditions for alien life in our solar system. The space probe Cassini will fly by moon within 30 miles of the surface at a speed of 19,000 miles per hour. That was a look at today’s top headlines.
