☆ I broke away from my traditional Amish community. Here's what grabbed me most in the modern world — and what I miss.

Read previewThis as-told-to essay is based on a conversation with Daniel Beiler, 33, an emergency medical technician and aid volunteer who grew up in a traditional Amish community in Pennsylvania. An Amish family walks through a field. He taught me that there were other Amish people questioning things — and eventually the Amish system couldn't hold us anymore. When a storm comes through and the electric goes out, life kind of slows down, and I don't like that feeling. My family don't have any technological restrictions now, but we haven't embraced too much trash culture.

☆ I take my wife and 5 kids with me to war zones as a crisis volunteer. People think I'm crazy, but we work as a family.

I sent them an email about the possibility of work, and we left within a week and a half. Most of these people still had family members that were just captured by ISIS, and who were very traumatized. Home life in warMy wife is very connected to the work and its mission. And we'd come back to a big house where we take showers, there's a functioning family and hot food. The kids do miss out on having a steady community, but their community is always there when they get back.

☆ Connecticut police issued 26,000 fake traffic tickets that made them appear busier and skewed racial-profiling data, audit says

It recorded at least 26,000 fake tickets over a five-year period, involving hundreds of officers. The figures skewed racial profiling data to appear like more white people were being stopped. One trooper singlehandedly logged 1,350 fake tickets between 2014 and 2017, the audit, released late last month, revealed. As a result, police skewed racial profiling records, making it appear that more white people had been stopped than was the reality, it said. It was unclear if the fake tickets were deliberately falsified or were the result of human error, it said.
