Anyone have a link to this story. I am uneducated about it.

It has nothing to do with pollution or the object killing people on the ground, the government don't care about that, that is just happy horse**** nonsense.
It is just target practice or a way to gather data to defend against Anti-sat weapons. I think last year China launched an A-sat weapon and our Gov't kinda freaked. Without satellites our ability to wage war is severly hampered and given China is launching everything into space the U.S. military needs to figure some stuff out. Of course if the satellite makes it through re-entry and passes on info, that is even worse.
What ever it is, it is an opportunity to learn something or stop someone else learning about your stuff.

So youre saying let the entire satellite hit earth as 1 big piece? Nothing like mass extinction!
