Image
A Maryland police chief resigned this week within hours of a court filing that portrayed his department, one of the state’s largest, as an agency poisoned by a racist culture. A complaint cited by the filing said a Prince George’s County police sergeant had a personalized license plate with an acronym for a vulgarity directed at President Barack Obama. A lieutenant derided Black Lives Matter protesters in comments quoted in a New York Times article. from Yahoo News - Latest News & Headlines https://ift.tt/2V2gStl via Latest News

Tulsa Can’t Opt Out of Trump’s Massive Coronavirus Gamble

Image
Amid weeks of civil unrest following the police killing of George Floyd, Oklahoma state Representative Regina Goodwin witnessed a disturbing sight on Wednesday: masses of Donald Trump supporters—some in Confederate gear—lining up blocks from the site of the 1921 race massacre on “Black Wall Street” in Tulsa.Some of the assembled fans, determined to attend the president’s first campaign rally in months, sang pro-Trump anthems and told local reporters they set up tents in order to ensure they got good seats inside the nearly 20,000-person arena. After all, it promised to be the largest indoor public gathering in the country since COVID-19 sent a shockwave of lockdowns and quarantines throughout the world.“The point is to rally his base, and they are out there on this sidewalk wanting to be the first in line,” Goodwin, who serves as chair of the Oklahoma Legislative Black Caucus, told The Daily Beast. “I’ve seen people out there sleeping with the Confederate flag symbol. Because of the ra

Samsung Galaxy M01s and Galaxy Watch 3 bag BIS certifications, hinting at imminent release

A couple of listings from The Bureau of Indian Standards appear to add to the already impressive roster of upcoming new Samsung Devices. We are already expecting the Note20 series, Galaxy Fold 2, the Galaxy Z Flip 5G and potentially a pair of Tab S7 tablets and some TWS Buds, all at an August 5 unveiling event. We can probably add the Galaxy Watch 3 to the list, as well. A BIS certification typically signifies an imminent release and this particular one lists three distinct device models: SM-R845F, SM-R855F and SM-R850F. The latter one of these is a bit of a mystery, while the other two have... from GSMArena.com - Latest articles https://ift.tt/2BmHWfU via IFTTT

China charges two detained Canadians with suspected espionage, Trudeau 'very disappointed'

Image
Chinese prosecutors said on Friday they have charged two detained Canadians for suspected espionage, indictments that could result in life imprisonment, in a case that has driven a diplomatic wedge between Ottawa and Beijing. Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said he was "very disappointed" and would keep pressing China to release the duo. Former diplomat Michael Kovrig and businessman Michael Spavor were arrested in late 2018 on state security charges, soon after Canadian police detained Huawei Technologies Co's [HWT.UL] chief financial officer, Meng Wanzhou, on a U.S. warrant. from Yahoo News - Latest News & Headlines https://ift.tt/2UZRfcN via Latest News

Navy upholds firing of carrier captain in virus outbreak

Image
The two senior commanders on a coronavirus-stricken aircraft carrier didn't “do enough, soon enough," to stem the outbreak, the top U.S. Navy officer said Friday, a stunning reversal that upheld the firing of the ship's captain who had pleaded for faster action to protect the crew. Capt. Brett E. Crozier and Rear Adm. Stuart Baker, commander of the carrier strike group, made serious errors in judgment as they tried to work through an outbreak that sidelined the USS Theodore Roosevelt in Guam for 10 weeks, said Adm. Mike Gilday, the chief of naval operations. The Crozier decision was a surprise since Gilday had recommended that the captain be restored to his command less than two months ago after an initial inquiry. from Yahoo News - Latest News & Headlines https://ift.tt/3euq4y8 via Latest News

'Hurt and angry', India leader warns China over border clash

Image
India's Prime Minister Narendra Modi said Friday that his country was "hurt and angry" after a border clash with China that left 20 troops dead, and warned that the army has been given free reign to respond to any new violence. India and China have blamed each other for the high altitude clash on their contested Himalaya frontier on Monday which also left Chinese casualties after brutal fights with nail studded batons, rocks and rods covered in barbed wire. Modi called a rare meeting with opposition party leaders to discuss the simmering crisis hours after China released 10 Indian troops, including two majors, it had seized in the battle in the Galwan valley of Ladakh region. from Yahoo News - Latest News & Headlines https://ift.tt/2YkiPna via Latest News

Trump Threatens Potential Protesters Ahead of Tulsa Rally

Image
President Donald Trump took to Twitter Friday morning to warn potential protesters at his Saturday rally that Oklahoma “will be a much different scene” and that they “will not be treated like [they] have been in New York, Seattle, or Minneapolis,” calling them “lowlifes.” The president shortly thereafter shared another tweet that said “THE SILENT MAJORITY IS STRONGER THAN EVER BEFORE.”The city of Tulsa, where Trump’s Saturday rally is set to be held, ordered a last-minute curfew Thursday night to mitigate potential violence overnight, according to The Washington Post. The order is in place from 10 p.m. until 6 a.m. on Friday and Saturday night. The mayor, G.T. Bynum, declared a “civil emergency” in the city after officials told him “individuals from organized groups who have been involved in destructive and violent behavior in other states are planning to travel to the City of Tulsa for purposes of causing unrest in and around the rally,” according to the order. It remains unclear whet
