FILE - In this Nov. 13, 2012 file photo, bartender Karolina Obrycka, who was beaten in February 2007 by off-duty Chicago police officer Anthony Abbate, listens while her attorney Terry Ekl speaks during a news conference in Chicago after jurors awarded her $850,000 in damages. The city of Chicago and Obrycka, whose videotaped beating by Abbate drew national attention, have taken the unusual step of asking a judge to toss a landmark civil verdict in the case. In deciding against the city last month, jurors determined some officers follow a code of silence protecting rogue colleagues like the officer involved. If the judge grants the motion, the city would forgo any appeal and pay Obrycka the full damages immediately. Otherwise, a payment could be delayed years. Striking the verdict would deny others suing the city the chance to cite it as precedent. (AP Photo/Paul Beaty, File)

Police moved millions of pounds of explosives Monday that had been haphazardly stashed in warehouses in Louisiana, prompting hundreds to evacuate from harm's way in case any of it exploded. About half the 800 residents in nearby Doyline, about 40 miles south of the Arkansas line, heeded state police warnings to evacuate until the stash could be divided into smaller quantities.
