A portion of Grand Canyon National Park remains closed as a wildfire in Northern Arizona still burns through a national forest, as forecasters warn the weather this week will create more dangerous conditions. The North Rim of the Grand Canyon has been closed…
A raging wildfire burning northeast of Phoenix, Ariz., is now the largest active fire in the nation, doubling in size Tuesday and spurring more evacuations. The wildfire has doubled in size since the start of the week and was originally sparked June 13. Officials call it a "human-caused vehicle fire." According to data from the National Fire Information Center, the Bush Fire is the largest of 43 active large blazes burning across the country. Satellite images released by NASA on Wednesday show the burn scar from the Bush Fire on June 14. The images show the infrared signature where the active fire lines are burning through the smoke. In one of the more detailed photos, red lines can be seen stretching across the mountains. Those red lines are fire retardant dropped to keep the fire from advancing toward settled areas, according to NASA.
An eighth suspect has been charged in the destruction of a Salt Lake City police car that was flipped over and set on fire during a May protest sparked by the death of George Floyd. Monico Isidro Romero, 31, of Salt Lake City, is accused of pushing a yellow flag with a wooden handle through the patrol car’s windshield after it was flipped on its side, FOX13 Salt Lake City reported. He faces charges of criminal mischief, a first-degree felony, and rioting, a third-degree felony. The incident unfolded May 30 when a group of protesters surrounded a police officer driving a patrol vehicle and banged on the windows. At least eight people then pushed the empty police car onto its roof and set it on fire. The car sustained more than $5,000 in damage. Patton, left, and Newbins both face federal charges in the destruction of the police vehicle. Patton, 26, is accused of tossing a combustible substance into the patrol car, feeding the flames that destroyed it.

Meanwhile, in UK. The Prime Minister has been involved in a car crash outside Parliament. Boris Johnson was in a car leaving via the gates of the Palace of Westminster and onto Parliament Square when a protester ran out into the road to attack the Prime Minister's convoy. The driver of the car was seen to hit the brakes suddenly to avoid the demonstrator, causing the security detail in a Range Rover following behind to crash into the back of the vehicle. Both cars left the scene quickly, with a visible dent in the back of Mr Johnson's Jaguar. Photographs from the scene show a man being tackled to the ground and detained by several police officers.
The U.S. Supreme Court granted a reprieve to a Texas inmate scheduled to die for fatally stabbing an 85-year-old woman more than two decades ago, continuing a more than four-month delay of executions in the nation's busiest death penalty state during the coronavirus pandemic. The U.S. Supreme Court blocked Ruben Gutierrez's execution about an hour before he could have been executed. Gutierrez's attorneys had argued his religious rights are being violated because the prison system won't allow a chaplain to accompany him in the death chamber. The Texas prison system last year banned clergy from the death chamber following a Supreme Court ruling that halted the execution of another inmate, Patrick Murphy, who had requested a Buddhist adviser be allowed in the chamber. In response to the ruling in Murphy's case, the Texas prison system changed its policy to no longer allow clergy in the death chamber and that only prison security staff would be allowed into the execution chamber. #FUCK_LUCKY
For weeks, a black-and-white American flag with a blue stripe down the middle stood above the New Jersey Turnpike. The flag, posted on an overpass in Woodbridge Township, appeared this spring, residents say. Now, some are relieved that it has been removed. Residents who objected to the “thin blue line” flag says its message stands in opposition to the fight against systemic racism. Those who use the flag say it is a way to support police. But the image has come to be associated with the #BlueLivesMatter movement, whose very formation was a response to the Black Lives Matter movement. Now, Woodbridge residents are petitioning the mayor and town council to remove the blue line that runs down Main Street. Residents who marched the street June 7 for a Black Lives Matter protest say police told them to stay on the right side of the line. Town officials say the blue line is intended to be a show of support for police.
