Two teenagers caught on video spray-painting the side of St. Patrick’s Cathedral during recent unrest sparked by the death of George Floyd were arrested. Anaya Diaz, 18, of suburban Westchester County, and a 17-year-old girl whose name was withheld by New York City police, were charged with criminal mischief and making graffiti. Police said the pair spray-painted the words, “F--k”, “BLM”, “NYPDK” and “No justice no peace” on the walls of the iconic cathedral in late May. “Reward up to $2500. Seen them?" NYPD Crime Stoppers tweeted before the suspects were arrested this week. The archbishop of New York, Cardinal Timothy Dolan, decried the graffiti – and the issue of defacing places of worship. “It has a special violence to it when it is the house of worship that represents the noblest, uplifting sentiments in the human project, so that's a particular kick in the stomach,” Dolan said.

Atlanta's interim police chief acknowledged Friday that some of his department's rank and file "may feel abandoned" as officers are continuing to call out sick, FOX NEWS reported. The call outs began Wednesday after a district attorney announced charges against two Atlanta officers in the shooting death of Rayshard Brooks. Interim Chief Rodney Bryant told The Associated Press in an interview that the sick calls continued Thursday, but said the department had sufficient staff to protect the city. It’s not clear how many officers called out. “Some are angry. Some are fearful. Some are confused on what we do in this space. Some may feel abandoned," Bryant said of the officers. "But we are there to assure them that we will continue to move forward and get through this.”

The Pasco County Sheriff's Office has released body camera footage of a deputy being attacked while talking with a man this week. The incident occurred Wednesday when deputies responded to an Auto Zone in reference to calls about a man who was reportedly entering and exiting the store frequently. At first, the man was very cooperative with the deputy, but he then again attempted to enter Auto Zone. Another deputy reiterated the first deputy's conversation with the the man, stating that while he was not under arrest and free to leave, he could not go back into Auto Zone. Officials said that during the conversation, the man suddenly became violent, aggressively attacking and knocking the deputy to the ground and continuing to attack the deputy by punching them multiple times before the Auto Zone manager and additional deputies were able to stop and subdue the suspect.

The Atlanta Police Foundation said all of the city’s officers will receive a $500 bonus. The bonuses are a way to thank the officers for the long hours worked during recent months, including at various protests and rallies around the city. The Atlanta Police Foundation, supported through donations, is funding the bonuses. The foundation’s announcement comes the day after the Atlanta Police Department said that a “higher than usual” number of officers didn’t go to work Wednesday night. The move happened hours after the Fulton County District Attorney announced criminal charges for two accused in the death of Rayshard Brooks. The foundational also has supported the At-Promise Youth Center, a 17,000-square-foot facility on Cameron Alexander Boulevard, and a wellness program for officers.
