Happy Saturday, neighbors! Here's everything you need to know to get this day started. First, today's weather: Sunny. High: 66 Low: 44. Here are the top three stories today in Phoenix: At least 30 Phoenix Police officers have been tied to a celebratory challenge coin and other items seemingly poking fun at a protestor who was shot in the groin with a rubber bullet. The coin and other items are emblazoned with the same image that has ties to hate speech. (ABC15 Arizona)"Chihuly in the Desert," a collaborative art exhibit between Taliesin West in Scottsdale and the Desert Botanic Garden, marries artist Dale Chihuly's glass creations with the natural world around the pieces. Both exhibits feature large, outdoor installations and smaller indoor pieces. If you're booked through the holiday season, don't worry, the exhibits are on display until June. (Phoenix New Times)A musical version of "Die Hard" performed by puppets is a Christmas tradition in Phoenix. This is the fifth year that Shaun McNamara's All Puppet Players will put on their show,"Die Hard: A Christmas Story." The show is for adults only, and then only for those who are not easily offended.
