A Georgia judge on Tuesday granted a $500,000 bond for the Atlanta-area police officer accused of killing Rayshard Brooks at a Wendy's parking lot. Fulton County Superior Court Judge Jane Barwick said Garrett Rolfe, 27, could be released as he awaits trial. She said the predominant issue in setting bond was whether a defendant would show up to court and said Rolfe could have fled following his arrest but instead turned himself in. Rolfe must wear an ankle monitor and has a strict 6 p.m. to 6 a.m. curfew. His attorneys argued that he should be released on bond because the evidence against him shows he was justified in using deadly force and because he is a "longstanding, law-abiding member of this community who will stay here to fight this case." Rolfe was charged with felony murder and 10 others offenses for his role in the June 12 shooting of Brooks. Rolfe turned himself in on June 19 and has been in custody ever since.
Police in Georgia are searching Tuesday for a suspect they say stole a car and then “maliciously drove it” into a cemetery, knocking over two gravestones. An image of the aftermath released by the Carrollton Police Department shows that the front of a 2016 Chevy Cruze sustained heavy damage during the incident Saturday. The department said in a Facebook post that whoever was behind the wheel caused “significant damage to a gravesite.” Investigators also said the family whose loved one’s gravesite has now been ruined has been notified. Anyone with information about the case is urged to call police at 770-834-4451.

A shootout between woman officer and robbers, Brazil.
Times Square’s guitar-slinging Naked Cowboy — who famously croons in little more than tighty-whities — drifted south to the anti-cop protests outside City Hall on Tuesday, but was quickly chased away by angry demonstrators who accused him of trying to rustle up trouble, FOX NEWS reported. The barely clothed busker, real name Robert Burck, found a chilly reception when he arrived around 2 p.m. at City Hall Park, where hundreds of demonstrators have vowed to dig in unless the next budget includes a $1 billion funding cut to the NYPD. “Very nice meeting you!” Burck called to the throngs while strumming his guitar and walking off down Chambers Street. “Get the f--- up outta here!” yelled one less-than-amused protester who followed him to make sure he got the hell out of Dodge. “We’re gonna make sure y’all leave!”.Burck stopped again farther down the block to tell reporters he wasn’t trying to inflame tensions.

South Africa: The sign of a stable community....🙄
Right now in Hong Kong. Hong Kong police today made their first arrests under a landmark new security law giving Beijing powers to punish dissent in the city. A man with a 'Hong Kong Independence' flag was the first to be arrested hours after the law came into force, and 23 years to the day since Britain returned the former colony to China - with the city's cherished freedoms now in doubt. Another 30 people were later detained on various charges including illegal gatherings and obstructing police, while protesters were fired on with water cannon as authorities showed off their new powers today. #HK
