Chicago city officials have released a video showing its former top cop apparently asleep at the wheel in an incident that led to his firing. The police body camera footage made public depicts former Police Superintendent Eddie Johnson in the driver's seat of his SUV when an officer arrives and takes his information during an early morning in October last year. Mayor Lori Lightfoot ended up firing Johnson in December, citing “ethical lapses” that included telling lies surrounding the events leading up to him being found in the idling vehicle. In his initial remarks about the matter, Johnson blamed his failure to take blood pressure medication and feeling ill as he drove home from dinner with friends. At the time of her firing of Johnson, Lightfoot said he eventually admitted to her that he was out to dinner with friends and had a few drinks before dismissing his driver and taking himself home.

A Texas corner store clerk shot and killed a robbery suspect Monday night who allegedly first fired at him after trying to pass a counterfeit $20 bill, according to reports. The Houston Police Department responded to calls about a robbery taking place at the Super Qwik Food Store off Fulton Street and Julia near the North Freeway around 10 p.m. By the time officers arrived at the scene, a man had been shot and was transported to the hospital, where he later died. The man, who has not been identified by authorities, allegedly tried to use a counterfeit $20 to make a purchase, but the clerk told him he could not accept the bill, KTRK reported. Police said the robbery suspect then made his way into the clerk’s secured area, pulled out a gun and fired at him at least once within close range, narrowly missing him. The clerk then pulled out a gun of his own and fired at the man, striking him multiple times.
Daily Mail | British military are banned from 'taking the knee' in solidarity with Black Lives Matter protests after commanders said it was too political | 30-06-20
— "British servicemen and women have been banned from 'taking the knee' because the act has become too 'political', it is claimed.
The Ministry of Defence have told uniformed forces personnel that they should not perform the symbolic gesture which is used to show solidarity with the Black Lives Matter movement.
It is believed that commanders from at least one of branches of HM Armed Forces are worried that allowing officers to take the knee would cause political issues following mass protests on streets across the country."

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.
