National forecast for Friday, July 24

A life-size statue of General Robert E. Lee along with the busts of eight of his Confederate colleagues were removed from Virginia's Capitol late Thursday and early Friday. State House Speaker Eileen Filler-Corn ordered the removal from the Capitol's Old House Chamber, a room where rebel lawmakers often met but which in later years mainly served as a museum to visitors. In addition to Lee, the statues taken down are of Joseph E. Johnston, Fitzhugh Lee, Alexander H. Stephens, Thomas Bocock, Thomas "Stonewall" Jackson, James E.B. "Jeb" Stuart, Jefferson F. Davis and Matthew F. Maury. They will all be taken to an undisclosed storage location. #facepalm

#WANTED! Police in New York are trying to find two men who attacked an elderly woman and tried to set her on fire. The #NYPD says it happened at about 6:45 p.m. on July 14, on 16th Ave. at 77th St. in Bensonhurst. The 89-year-old woman was approached by two men. One of them slapped her in the face. She tried to get away and one of the men used a match or lighter to light her shirt on fire. She was not seriously hurt in the incident. Police released a short video of the suspects. Anyone with information is asked to call the NYPD's Crime Stoppers Hotline at 1-800-577-TIPS. Police say that all calls are strictly confidential.

The #NYPD’s highest-ranking uniformed cop exploded in anger during a CompStat meeting, telling police brass: “We can’t be afraid of doing what we do!” Chief of Department Terence Monahan erupted during the crime statistics meeting when a deputy told him that cops were worried about a controversial new city law that, in part, makes it a crime to kneel on a suspect’s chest or back while making an arrest. “They’re concerned about [taking] a bag of crack off the right person, the right dealer, and their knee accidentally — unintentionally — going on their back,” said Deputy Chief Brian McGee, commanding officer of the Manhattan North detective bureau. Monahan had a message for cops worried about new laws: "We can’t be afraid!" Monahan, who was injured while exchanging blows with an anti-cop protester last week, interrupted McGee before he could finish.
