PROBLEM: Blake Griffin âs injury Monday night serves as the end of an era for the Clippers â one that was good  but not as good as it couldâve been. (Jae C. Hong/AP)
As  Blake Griffin  limped off the court at Staples Center on Monday night  the best era in Los Angeles Clippers history left with  him .
Some of the faces remain â at least for now. Doc Rivers is still the coach  and DeAndre Jordan is the starting center.  Griffin   meanwhile  is in the first year of a five-year max contract  and the MCL sprain  he  suffered Monday night when Austin Rivers fell into  his  leg will only keep  him  out of the lineup for a couple of months  as opposed to the rest of the season.
The writing on the wall for this run ended when Paul left for Houston this summer  as Redick followed him out the door to Philadelphia shortly thereafter. Even though the Clippers did well in getting a nice haul for Paul â Patrick Beverley  Sam Dekker  Montrezl Harrell and a 2018 first-round pick â while keeping  Griffin  and signing Danilo Gallinari and Milos Teodosic in free agency  it felt like a roster that didnât fit together. It was also heavily reliant on several players with significant injury questions in  Griffin   Beverley  Gallinari and Teodosic.
Now all four of them are on the shelf â Beverley for the season following knee surgery  Griffin for the next two months  Teodosic for at least another month and Gallinari for at least another week. Whatâs also on the shelf is any hope of these Clippers making the playoffs  as it seems impossible theyâll be able to remain within striking distance of a playoff spot until  Griffin  comes back.
Rivers has been rumored in NBA circles to be on the verge of losing his job for weeks as the Clippers have floundered to start the season (and after he was demoted from running the basketball operations department this summer)  and those rumors will only intensify if the Clippers fall even further with  Griffin  sidelined. Meanwhile  Jordanâs name is coming up in trade conversations  though it could be difficult to find a landing spot that returns any kind of real value â at least without taking on bad deals for more years than Jordanâs expiring contract. Lou Williams  a talented scorer on an expiring deal  also feels like a piece that could be moved to a contender to bring some kind of assets back  and while moving on from Gallinari would be wise  his price tag (two more years at more than $20 million per) and injury history will make doing so difficult.
The Clippers have transformed from a laughingstock to a contender over the past several years  a once unthinkable change for a franchise that was defined for so long by dysfunction and embarrassment. Monday  though  that run officially came to an end when Blake Griffin trudged off the floor at Staples Center and into the locker room  leaving a trail of what-ifs about the past and uncertainties about the future.

Alcorn  who visits her son after work  said she hopes the lawsuit will not only help the family pay for  Lumar ’s medical care but change how Chicago police treat those they arrest. “In Chicago  you should be scared for your son ” she said.
Her lawsuit alleges Chicago police wrongfully detained  Lumar   concealed from  Lumar  the fact that he could have bonded himself out and were “deliberately indifferent” to his medical needs by failing to check on him every 15 minutes as required. The city is responsible  too  the lawsuit alleges  because it ignored the widespread police practice of falsifying cell inspection records.
Soon after  Lumar ’s arrest in Chicago  police there contacted Lee County about the warrant and learned it carried a $500 bond  the lawsuit says. The way the system works  he could have posted 10 percent — $50 — and gone home.  Lumar  had $130 on him  according to the arrest report.

But security video shows another inmate removing the item from his shoe and tossing it next to  Lumar   O’Connor says. Police had searched  Lumar  at least eight times prior without finding drugs  according to the lawsuit.
Now facing narcotics charges   Lumar  was returned to the Harrison District around 11 a.m. as part of a police investigation into the drug case at the jail  according to the lawsuit. Nine minutes later  he was found hanging from his own shirt inside Cellblock E2.
Later that day  as  Lumar  lay in an intensive care unit at Mount Sinai Hospital  Chicago police announced they were releasing him from custody and that no charges would be filed. His family was then on the hook for his medical bills.

PROBLEM: A secretive British police investigation focusing on journalists who have worked with Edward Snowden’s leaked documents is still active more than four years after it was launched  The Intercept has learned.
The disclosure that the probe remains active prompted criticism on Monday from the National Union of Journalists  the U.K.’s largest journalists’ organization. Sarah Kavanagh  a spokesperson for the group  said that news reports based on the  Snowden  documents had exposed unlawful covert surveillance activities in the public interest.
“The media are often the only group in society able to reveal the intelligence and security forces have exceeded their legitimate powers and remit ” Kavanagh said. “The Met Police should be condemned for keeping journalists under investigation because they worked on the  Snowden  leaks. The investigation should be halted immediately. Journalism is not a crime.”
The origins of the investigation can be traced back to May 2013  when  Snowden   a National Security Agency contractor  turned over a cache of classified documents about government surveillance to journalists  including Intercept co-founder Glenn Greenwald  who was at that time working for British news organization The Guardian. Among the documents were details about mass surveillance programs operated by the U.K.’s largest spy agency  Government Communications Headquarters  or GCHQ.
In August 2013  detectives from the Metropolitan Police used a counterterrorism law to detain and interrogate David Miranda  Greenwald’s partner  while he was passing through London’s largest airport. Miranda was carrying a batch of encrypted  Snowden  documents to aid Greenwald’s reporting on the files. The police seized Miranda’s possessions – including a mobile phone  laptop  camera  and flash drives – and began a criminal investigation.
British authorities argued that publishing the  Snowden  files was itself a terrorist act  thereby explicitly conflating journalism with terrorism. Prior to Miranda’s arrival in London  a memo authored by the Metropolitan Police and domestic spy agency MI5 was circulated to U.K. border entry points. It asserted that “the disclosure [of the Snowden documents]  or threat of disclosure  is designed to influence a government and is made for the purpose of promoting a political or ideological cause. This therefore falls within the definition of terrorism.”
