Wright, a 20-year-old Black man, was fatally shot by Brooklyn Center Police Department officer Kimberly Potter, 48, after he was stopped for a traffic violation on Sunday. He reportedly tried to get back inside his vehicle, but was shot by Potter and was later pronounced dead at the scene.

Heinrich cited a 2003 Washington Post article by Richard Morin to back up his claims, using the story to question Lott’s general judgement in matters of gun violence. “Does it show good judgement for a researcher to comment that way with regard to your own research under a name that is clearly not transparent?” Heinrich asked the committee. Lott claims in the cited article that he had tried to use his own name when commenting online, “but you just get into really emotional things with people....
Donnarumma wins NxGn award Germany international Gundogan worked with Klopp during his time at Borussia Dortmund, before teaming up with Guardiola at the Etihad Stadium ahead of the 2016-17 campaign. Gundogan hailed the personal skills of both coaches, who were formerly in rival dugouts in the Bundesliga when Guardiola was in charge at Bayern Munich, as well as their ability to know when to lay down the law. “I see a lot of similarities, to be honest, between both [coaches],” Gundogan told ESPN....
1. RB Todd Gurley, Georgia Each week, Gurley does something eye-popping, almost to the point now that it’s no longer spectacular because you simply expect it from him. He hurdled a Vanderbilt defender — but was it better than previous times he’s hurdled defenders? He’s that good that we are stacking up his possible Heisman moments. On Saturday, he ran for 163 yards and two scores and completed a 50-yard pass....
On Tuesday, a Moscow court sentenced Navalny to two years and eight months in a prison colony, sparking international condemnation of Putin’s government and prompting marches in the Russian capital that led to arrests. After the verdict, the website of Channel 4, the official TV city channel of Yekaterinburg, was hacked. Users were redirected to the site palace.navalny.com at which they could watch the film produced by FBK titled “Putin’s Palace,” which has been viewed more than 100 million times on YouTube....
Morgan doesn’t minimize the Red threat. He relies on decoded Soviet cable traffic, released only in 1995, which confirms much of what the American left has deemed paranoid fantasy. But by 1950, when McCarthy started his crusade, the communists had been largely disabled by the House Un-American Activities Committee and the 1940s anti-sedition Smith Act. The McCarthy horror show, which destroyed careers and lives–including McCarthy’s–had more to do with partisanship and personal pathology than with patriotism....
Newsweek: How big of an issue do you think Iraq will be this fall, particularly for Sen. McCain? Sen. Hagel: First of all, Iraq is one of the most urgent and pressing issues facing our country. It’s going to have to be dealt with, and the American people have turned a corner in measuring this, in any poll you can cite. They are opposed to our continuing in Iraq. They now believe it was a mistake to go into Iraq....
Following last week’s decision by the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office to revoke protection of the name, fallout was fast and furious. Backers hailed the decision. To many of Native American ancestry, Redskins is a slur. Meanwhile, team officials are making plans this week to fight the decision and restore the six registered trademarks they lost in Wednesday’s ruling. Redskins trademark attorney Bob Raskopf was on a Washington radio station last week making salient points in the team’s defense....

One of country’s biggest stars, Toby Keith, was among the first to honor Ketchum on Twitter, where he shared a video....
In a message obtained by Newsweek on Wednesday, Hamas on behalf of Deif, said they were sending a “clear” final warning to Israel over threats to remove dozens of Palestinians from their homes in the Sheikh Jarrah neighborhood of east Jerusalem. “The Chief of Staff is sending a clear and last warning to the Israeli occupation and settlers that if they did not immediately cease their aggression against our people in the Sheikh Jarrah neighborhood, we will not sit on our hands and will make them pay a heavy price,” the message stated....

In Group G of the 2017 AFC Cup, Hanoi FC are considered the favourites to advance to the next stage of the competition. Having won the Vietnam League last season, coach Chu Dinh Nghiem knows his team has the pedigree to do well in this competition but has encountered a stuttering start thus far.

At the Greenwich Village gay bar one evening in late June of that year, the pain and frustration that the LGBTQ community felt reached its tipping point. Police raided the bar and patrons resisted arrest. Meanwhile, a group of bystanders threw bottles at the cops. Ultimately, fights broke out from the community’s pent-up anger, and riots lasted for three days throughout the neighborhood. That first evening sparked the gay rights movement and for decades since, marches have been held and many political groups and alliances were formed to fight for equal rights regardless of your sexuality....
But somehow “Freestyle” is different. Its collective passion and grit–most of the artists are saying something about race–keeps the show from devolving into the hyperclever anomie that infects almost every other revue of emerging artists these days. “Freestyle” puts the museum on the map not only as a place to see some good contemporary art, but as an institution that might help lead it away from its current fascination with the adolescent side of pop culture....

Though no official release date has been given for Harry’s first literary endeavor, described in a press release as an “intimate and heartfelt memoir from one of the most fascinating and influential global figures of our time,” it is reported to likely hit shelves in time for the holiday season later this year.

The presale of his tour went live today for “verified fans” and American Express customers at 10:00 a.m. ET on Ticketmaster. However, eager Americans were dismayed to find the website crashing as they tried to secure their presale tickets. According to the website, Ticketmaster’s Verified Fan technology “creates a safe, reliable, ticket-buying experience” and “levels the playing field” so ticket bots do not get tickets over fans who will attend the show....
