STEVE INSKEEP, HOST:

Good morning. I'm Steve Inskeep. We hear about it when police body cameras capture cops misbehaving. In Houston, body cameras captured the opposite. A woman fell asleep at the wheel and drove her car into a lake. She woke to find she could not open the doors and called 911. Body camera video shows officers wading through the water and smashing windows to crack her out. You know the saying, video or it didn't happen? Well, this happened. You're listening to MORNING EDITION. Transcript provided by NPR, Copyright NPR.

Federal funding is gone.

Congress has eliminated all funding for public media.

That means $2.1 million per year that Connecticut Public relied on to deliver you news, information, and entertainment programs you enjoyed is gone.

The future of public media is in your hands.

All donations are appreciated, but we ask in this moment you consider starting a monthly gift as a Sustainer to help replace what’s been lost.
