The app was introduced in 2016 under the name “Vigilante” and was originally presented as a crime-fighting app of sorts. In its first advertisement, the app showed users finding a criminal and stopping a crime after the app alerted them about a woman being attacked nearby. It was soon removed from app stores after being widely criticized by police. In 2017, the app rebranded as “Citizen,” this time presenting as an app which simply makes people aware of nearby crime to avoid, and made clear that they don’t encourage vigilante crime-fighters to take the law into their own hands...

Footage obtained by a local news station shows a physical confrontation that took place between an Illinois state trooper and a driver on May 25. A spokesperson from the Illinois State Police told Newsweek in an email that a trooper pulled the driver over after observing a traffic violation. The driver also reportedly did not have a valid driver’s license. ABC affiliate station WEEK reported that the driver, Randy Turner, was pulled over by Trooper Matthew Niehaus for allegedly driving 109 miles per hour in a 70 miles per hour zone....

“They scare me,” a pensive-looking Guardiola told two members of his technical staff as he paced around a locker room inside the stadium of Liverpool’s Merseyside neighbor, Everton. And with good reason. City made two trips to Anfield last season and they proved to be uncomfortable experiences in every sense. The first was in January, when a 4-3 loss ended its quest to become the second “Invincibles” of the Premier League after going 22 games unbeaten....

Chicago used to insure itself. Now it carries an “excessive liability” policy to cover awards over $15 million. Daley also started a claims unit, so people could be reimbursed for accidents caused by the city. That way, Daley reasons, the city doesn’t have to spend money on lawyers. He thinks there’s enough of that already. Chicago paid outside lawyers $10.4 million in 2002 to fight its battles, nearly double the amount spent in 1998....

Multiple civil rights groups including the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) of Texas, Our Vote Texas and the Southern Coalition for Social Justice (SCSJ) filed the suit against Abbott and Scott, both Republicans, on Tuesday. The new map, which was drawn up by the Republican-dominated state legislature, contains no new districts with majority Black or Latino populations, despite the 2020 Census revealing that 90 percent of new Texas residents over the past decade were people of color....

But when is Firaxis going to give information on pack number 3?...

Shields, already an undisputed champion at middleweight, has also held gold at light-middleweight and super-middleweight. Calling herself the “G.W.O.A.T.” (Greatest Woman of All Time), Shields exudes confidence. She has dismissed long ago any notion that Marshall should call herself the “G.W.O.A.T.” “She said if she walked around calling herself the G.W.O.A.T. that her friends would slap her,” Shields stated during a training session. “As they should… You have one belt....

Oh nothing really, just Ottawa's Clarke MacArthur going between-the-legs on a pass to Kyle Turis, who put the puck passed Minnesota goalie Josh Harding on Wednesday night. In short, it's probably the best assist of the season. But you just have to wonder what Washington Capitals head coach Adam Oates thinks of this heinous act of "one-uppery." After all, Oates was the one who criticized San Jose's Tomas Hertl after the rookie scored a spectacular between-the-legs goal during his four-goal performance against the New York Rangers....

The postcards were shared on the official Sonic the Hedgehog Twitter account. The account often shares interesting Sonic-related art and animation, but the idea to share postcards for locations no one could ever really visit is particularly inspired during a time in which most people are unable to travel because of the pandemic. RELATED: Rumor: Sonic Colors Remaster Could Be on the Way Each of the three postcards represents a zone from one of Sonic’s classic Sega Genesis outings, with Green Hill Zone from the hedgehog’s first game, Chemical Plant Zone from Sonic 2, and Mushroom Hill Zone from Sonic & Knuckles....

The major highlight of episode 6 was the ending of the Sports Festival, with Class 1-D finally making headway in the Sports Festival events. Clearly, this wouldn’t have been possible without Horikita Suzune and Ken Sudo’s impressive character growth. The episode also revealed Kikyo Kushida’s treacherous nature and why she wants Horikita expelled. On the other hand, episode 7 of Classroom of the Elite marked the triumph of Class 1-D over the Sports Festival....

Classroom of the Elite is always packed with impactful, awe-inspiring moments, which are back now that season 2 is underway. Episode 1 of the new season was a refreshing presentation of what the series offers. Starting with a nerve-wracking test involving all students of Class 1, the episode tickled fans’ expectations of the incredible showdown that would intensify the rivalry between all classes. On the other hand, the second episode of the season was centered on specific characters and their thought processes with the likes of Ayanokoji and Ryuen....

OFFICIAL: Tevez is world’s best-paid player The 41-year-old was crowned the best referee in the world at the Globe Soccer Awards in Dubai on Tuesday having officiated the FA Cup, Champions League and Euro 2016 finals during the past 12 months.

Following a much grittier take on the character with 2005’s Batman Begins, Nolan’s The Dark Knight followed up with an even darker sequel that would go on to surpass the first film. The Dark Knight racked up numerous awards and nominations – including a Best Supporting Actor win at the 2009 Academy Awards for Heath Ledger’s performance as the Joker – while being met with overwhelmingly positive reviews from both critics and fans....

Why Is Christopher Nolan Upset About HBO Max? After being delayed multiple times due to the coronavirus pandemic, Warner Bros. recently announced that Wonder Woman 1984 would be streaming on HBO Max the same day it releases in US theaters. Warner Bros. is HBO Max’s parent company, meaning there was no expensive deal to bring Wonder Woman 1984 to the platform—though some reports claim that director Paddy Jenkins and star Gal Godot received large pay outs to support the decision....

A coalition of 62 organizations, including advocacy groups like Greenpeace and labor unions, insisted that the rule change would “restore a functioning Senate” in a letter addressed to Schumer. Progressive calls to eliminate the filibuster have been mounting amid concerns that Republicans in the Senate could obstruct attempts to pass Democratic legislation under the current rules, despite Democrats recently taking control of both Congress and the White House. “The filibuster was never intended to be used and abused the way it has been over the past decade,” the groups wrote to Schumer....

No details were available about who spray-painted the changeable letterboard sign that was set up in front of the First Grace United Methodist Church and read “Love thy neighbor. Get Vaccinated.” The Bible verse “Revelations 13:17” that was painted across the sign reads: “And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name.” Some biblical scholars acknowledge " beast" as a reference to the Antichrist and the mark mentioned in the verse is used to identify followers of the Antichrist, according to Fox8 Live....

The Croatian seventh seed had claimed he was in his best condition for years at a grand slam that saw both Novak Djokovic and holder Andy Murray hampered by physical problems in making quarter-final exits. However, the 2014 US Open winner was cruelly unable to reach his best level in the decider against Federer on Centre Court, where the Swiss great won 6-3 6-1 6-4 to lift a record eighth singles crown at SW19, his 19th grand slam triumph overall....

Djokovic looked very sharp from the beginning of the match. He took Federer to deuce in the very first game. But Federer held firm and was able to avoid the break. They both served well from there on. The first break of the match came in the 7th game when Djokovic converted the breakpoint and edged ahead 4-3. He was able to consolidate the break and was constantly putting pressure on the Federer serve....
