🇸🇦 Saudi Arabia revealed updated mock-ups of its planned $1 trillion dollar linear city. The city, aimed at being smaller in physical and carbon footprint than traditional cities, will stretch for over 100 miles while remaining just 200 meters wide.
The city will supposedly allow residents to travel from one end to another in about 20 minutes and offer a variety of automated services to ease daily tasks.

🎵 @thenormalnews 🚨At least 8 people are dead after suffering from cardiac arrest or being crushed by the force of the crowd at Travis Scott’s Astroworld Festival in Houston last night.
Over 300 people were treated for injuries at the on-site medical center while over 20 were hospitalized with more serious injuries.
Attendees spoked of their experience on social media saying the brute force of the crowd being packed into the venue made it nearly impossible to move. After 9:00, the massive crowd moved closer to the stage and began to inadvertently kill each other.
"The crowd began to compress toward the front of the stage, and people began to panic,” the police chief said as the crowd began to stampede out of panic.

🇺🇸 @thenormalnews 📱During a Senate Hearing on Facebook and Instagram’s impact on the mental health of young users, Sen. Richard Blumenthal asked FB’s Global Head of Safety Antigone Davis if the company will end finstas (fake/spam Instagram accounts used by real users).
The Senator asked "Will you commit to ending Finsta?"
"We don't actually do 'finsta.' What 'finsta' refers to is young people setting up accounts where they may want to have more privacy," Davis replied.
"'Finsta' is one of your products or services. We're not talking about Google, or Apple, it's Facebook, correct?" Blumenthal then questioned again.
"I'm not sure I understand exactly what you're asking," Davis ended.

@thenormalnews 🗞SHARE: A CNN crew was harassed by a crowd gathered to demonstrate and protest the police shooting of Daunte Wright.
One protester attempted to reason with another by asserting the demonstration is “all peaceful”, then a CNN crew member was struck in the head by a bottle and fell to the ground.
Shortly after, the crowd followed the crew while throwing small objects. “What did they do?” one person asked. “CNN, being some b*tches,” another person replied. The teams van was egged as they left.
A CNN reporter said afterwards, “My team and I are fine and I appreciate your concern. I hope for equal justice under the law and will continue to report on this vital story as it unfolds.”
Over 75 people involved in the demonstrations and riots have been arrested including charges of a riot and unlawful assembly. Some also threw bricks and attempted to mace officers.
"The behaviors we continue to see are unacceptable, and we are not going to tolerate them," a state law enforcement official said.
“We encourage you to be peaceful and come and exercise your first amendment rights, it is not acceptable and will not be tolerated if you choose to come and do criminal activity and destroy property and throw objects and make it unsafe for people to come and exercise your first amendment rights.”

🌆 A man demanded to speak to President Trump as he dangled off the edge of Trump Tower’s 16th-floor in Chicago yesterday evening into this morning.
.
“I don’t want to die. If someone will try to pull this rope, I will jump and die,” the man said, panning the camera down for a view of the Chicago River.
.
“I have a knife. If someone will try to pull [the rope], I will cut it and I will probably die. But I don’t want to die,” the man said as he showed a knife in his hand.
.
“If Mr. Trump, he promise something, he should do before the election.”
“Everyone who knows me. They know I am not crazy. I am not crazy. I am well-educated guy. But … Mr. Trump, if you think I am crazy, I am not crazy. And if you will not talk with me, I will cut, I will die,” he says.
.
A large police presence gathered including rescue and SWAT teams. The man began hanging off the edge secured by a rope at about 5:30 pm and remained there for over 13 hours until he was taken into police custody.

.
“I've become the type of person where I hope they all get it and die. I'm sorry, but that's so frustrating - just - I don't know what else to do. You can't argue with them, you can't talk sense with them, um, I said to somebody yesterday I hope they all die before the election,” Mosher said.
.
Marshall wrote of her suspension, “The University does not support or condone the use of any of its educational platforms to belittle people or wish harm on those who hold differeing political views. The professor was removed from the classroom yesterday and is on administrative leave, pending an investigation. There will be no further comment on this personnel matter at this time."
.
Her comments came in response to President Trump’s recent in-person rallies that violate social distancing and mask recommendations put out by the administration.

⚠️WARNING: SENSITIVE 🚔Four Houston police officers were fired for opening fire on a man, Nicolas Chavez, 21 times after he was downed from being tased twice and struck with non-lethal munitions.
.
Chavez was said to be experiencing a mental health crisis prior to and during the altercation earlier this year. He had a history of mental illness, per his family.
.
Chavez was wielding a large knife and running through traffic before being tased multiple times, then collapsed to the ground but still attempting to reel in a taser. After warnings to stop and told “Don’t. Don’t do it” by one officer, they proceeded to fire 21 rounds into Chavez, killing him in the street.
.
"Quite frankly, it's inexplicable to me when they had plenty of opportunity to back up and continue to be doing what they were doing for them to stay the line and shoot a man 21 times," Houston’s Chief of Police said. "I cannot defend that.”
.
“You don't get to shoot somebody 21 times because at that time, when we discharged those 21 rounds, Mr. Chavez was at his greatest level of incapacitation."

🇭🇰FOLLOW @thenormalnews 🚔Hong Kong police were seen chasing and arresting a 12-year-old girl after she ran away from police “in a suspicious manner” and said Hong Kong officers used “minimum necessary force” to arrest the child.
.
According to her parents, the 12-year-old was purchasing art supplies when she became mixed in with a large group of protesters in the street. China’s newly implemented national security law criminalizes acts of secession and subversion.
.
“Police were concerned about youngsters participating in prohibited group gathering. Their presence at the chaotic protest scenes also endangers their own personal safety,” police added.
.
“Police attach great importance to integrity. If any person considers he or she is affected by police misconduct, he or she may lodge a complaint to the Complaints Against Police Office. It will be handled in a fair and impartial manner according to established procedures.”
