The Indianapolis Metropolitan Police Department Merit Board met Wednesday morning to decide the fate of Officer Jerry Piland, who is accused of using excessive force to arrest 15-year-old Brandon Johnson. The May 16 incident sparked outrage in the community and resulted in a public apology from the city’s public safety director, mayor and chief of police. Chief Paul Ciesielski wants the officer to be fired, but the Indianapolis Fraternal Order of Police says Piland did not violate policy. The merit board will decide whether to approve the chief's recommendation, possibly by the end of the week.

Toyota is recalling 1.53 million cars and SUVs, including about 740,000 in the United States, for brake fluid and fuel pump problems. The majority of the vehicles have a problem with the brake master cylinder, which could lead to weaker braking power, said spokesman Paul Nolasco in Tokyo. He said no accidents have been reported. The models affected by the latest recall include the 2005 and 2006 Avalon, 2004 through 2006 non-hybrid Highlander and Lexus RX330, and 2006 Lexus GS300, IS250 and IS350 vehicles, the company said in a news release. Over the past year, the automaker has recalled more than 10 million cars and trucks worldwide for a variety of problems, dealing a major blow to its reputation for quality.
