THE WEEK'S BIG 3
The former police officer who was recorded on camera fatally shooting Daunte Wright during a traffic stop was arrested and charged with second-degree manslaughter on Wednesday. ADL called on Fox News to remove primetime opinion host Tucker Carlson after he openly embraced a white supremacist conspiracy theory in front of millions of viewers. Arkansas Gov. Asa Hutchinson signed a watered-down hate crimes bill into law this week, one that ADL and other advocates had criticized for overhauling another proposed bill that included more specific language cracking down on crimes targeting victims due to their race, religion and sexual orientation.
Read on for more on these headlines, news you can use to fight hate and the latest info about ADL from around the country.

Arkansas Governor Signs Scaled-Back Hate Crimes Bill
“Under the measure, offenders that commit violent felonies against individuals due to their ‘mental, physical, biological, cultural, political, or religious beliefs or characteristics’ would have to serve at least 80 percent of their sentence behind bars. However, another hate crimes bill previously pushed by Hutchinson would have also covered crimes committed targeting individuals for their race, sexual orientation and gender identity.” The Hill:
