At a rally on Sunday, Minneapolis City Council President Lisa Bender said the council was committed to ending the city’s “toxic relationship” with the Minneapolis Police Department. Disbanding an entire police department isn’t unheard of—the city of Camden, New Jersey did it in 2013 and as a result, saw an improvement in the relationship between police and residents as well as a dramatic drop in violent crime. Scott Thomson, Camden’s police chief until last year, oversaw the city’s shift to community policing around eight years ago....

Tom Austin, the managing partner of F2 Group, was captured on camera telling the men that he would call police inside the gym at the MozAic East building on Lagoon Avenue. The videos started circulating on social media after two clips were shared on Instagram by Top Figure, a social media company based in the building. Austin told Newsweek in an email that he “f***ed up” and “should have handled it differently,” but insisted the incident had nothing to do with race....

The incident happened in the Voyageurs National Park in northern Minnesota, close to the Canadian border. The Voyageurs Wolf Project, a University of Minnesota-led group that studies wolves in the national park, posted images of the wolf to Facebook. Pictures show how it came within feet of several people riding snowmobiles on a track through the forest. The Voyageurs Wolf Project said people should be careful if they encounter the animal in the future: “The wolf seemed unalarmed, did not appear to exhibit fear of people or the snowmobiles, and just sauntered/lingered in the area....

Peterson didn’t play in Sunday’s 30-7 loss to the Patriots in the Vikings’ Week 2 game, an easy choice to be deactivated for this week and deservedly, possibly well beyond. That was on the heels of the Vikings recording the most impressive victory of Week 1 with Peterson. Without Peterson, it was expected their ship would hit some rocky water. But it’s already clear they’re completely sunk. Not only was Peterson the face of the franchise — as seen on this week’s parking pass and game ticket — he is the league’s most indispensable player east of Peyton Manning....

Missouri’s civil lawsuit against China was filed in U.S. federal court by Schmitt Tuesday, accusing the communist government’s officials of negligence and “deceit” seeking damages for “the enormous loss of life, human suffering and economic turmoil” COVID-19’s spread has caused.

Lawmakers railed against the Kentucky Republican’s plan to keep senators on holiday until September as American families struggled with their finances as the wait for further COVID-19 stimulus funding continued. They also raised fears about the USPS’ preparedness to deal with millions of mail-in ballots amid reports of Postmaster General Louis DeJoy leveling cutbacks on sorting machines and overtime. Posting on social media, Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-MA) said: “Bring the Senate back now to protect the USPS [Mitch McConnell]....

It added up to a big night in a place that’s proven tough for the opposition. Mitchell scored 24 points, including six in the final two minutes, and the short-handed Utah Jazz ended Denver’s nine-game home win streak by holding off the Nuggets 111-104 on Thursday. Korver hit six 3-pointers on his way to 22 points as the Jazz showed plenty of energy despite playing on the second night of a back-to-back and with two of their guards out of the lineup....

Johnson hails de Villiers The Australian left-arm pace bowler termed de Villiers as the best batsmen across formats and someone who is a ‘formidable opponent’. Resuming training on Tuesday, Johnson said: “I think the most difficult batsman to bowl to is AB de Villiers. He has been quite incredible in the last two years. He has excelled as the best player across most formats. For me, it has always been a challenge to bowl to AB and a lot of guys love the challenge of bowling to him....

The party’s top members denied the notion that Democrats are conducting such an inquiry, directly contradicting recent remarks by the panel’s chairman, who has said for months they’ve been conducting an impeachment inquiry. The mixed messaging comes as Congress returned from a six-week summer recess this week and allows Democrats the opportunity to play the party’s stance on impeachment as they see fit. It gives more moderate members the ability to claim the party is holding off on taking such a consequential step while more liberal members point to the committee’s work as evidence they’re taking one step closer to forcibly removing Trump from office....

Specifically, Miyamoto has revealed that he would be interested in making a sequel or remake of the SNES classic A Link to the Past.

Rather than give A Link to the Past another dimension, Miyamoto says he wants to “[create] something new maybe based on, or starting from, A Link To The Past....

As briefly touched upon, the Creative mode is a section of Minecraft that lets players build whatever their mentalities can muster with an unlimited amount of blocks, absent the imminent threat of enemy mobs or a lack of materials. On top of this, Creative mode grants all players the ability to fly, which is incredibly useful for assembling structures that require aerial transportation to reach heights inaccessible on foot. With all of these mechanics packed in just one sub-mode, it comes as no surprise to say that the community has invested the time to masterfully manoeuvre the featured tools to birth the conception of remarkable Minecraft builds....

As spotted by PCGamesN, user M8use, along with four other players, have managed to get to the end of Minecraft in less than two minutes. Given that there were multiple pieces of footage running simultaneously during the video, the actual time differs depending on which screen viewers are looking at. The quickest shows it at 1:55 and the slowest at 1:57. Speedrun.com shows the final time as 1:56. In any case, it’s a new world record, and just watching the run is a blink-and-miss-it experience with each player being given a specific task to do as they work together....
