Like most matters of policing, however, Camden’s success story isn’t that simple. Members of the police force are now more likely to live in the suburbs than in the city of Camden, according to the local NAACP chapter. “Ninety percent of Camden’s population is minority—we have a lot of young individuals who don’t look like us that are getting these jobs,” says Kevin Barfield, the chapter president.
The higher number of officers on the streets was uncomfortable at first, says Nyeema Watson, Rutgers University at Camden’s associate chancellor for civic engagement, who helped connect the new department to local youth in its early days. “You felt that this eye was on you. It took me some time to adjust to having [police] cars stationed on major thoroughfares,” she says. “That still raises the hair on my neck sometimes, but I know their approach is an attempt to say ‘We’re here, we’re visible.’ ”
In a 2015 report, the American Civil Liberties Union praised Camden for its reforms but noted a “significant increase in low-level arrests and summonses.” The department says it’s mindful of overpursuing petty offenses. “We know when we police a city that has 30% of the residents under the poverty line, a $400 speeding ticket or ticket in general would be absolutely devastating financially,” says Dan Keashen, a spokesman for the Camden County Police Department.

As some activists call for cities to defund the police, Camden’s reforms are more incremental in nature. “I think the challenge is that you have 18,000 police departments” in the U.S., says Thomson. “It’s an industry that generally is averse to any type of change.

India told its armed forces to make emergency procurements to stock up war reserves in the wake of escalating conflict with China .
India told its armed forces on Monday to make emergency procurements to stock up its war reserves in the wake of escalating conflict with China along the Line Of Actual Control ( LAC ) , which is the long disputed border between India and China .
In addition , the India Navy has also been given the go-ahead to deploy its assets near the Malacca Strait , and , if needed , anywhere else in the Indo-Pacific @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Economic Times reported .
This follows the first bloody conflict between the two Asian powers for the first time in 40 years with the killing of dozens of troops from India and China along a contested border of both countries in the Himalayas .
The situation spurred after a failed diplomatic meeting in Galwan River valley , which is in the Himalayas region of Ladakh .
The Times of India corroborated the Economic Times claims , stating that Indian forces are in a “ warlike alert.
” The Indian Air Force ( IAF @ @ @ @ @ @ @ purchase 33 fighter aircrafts from Russia , according to reports .
These will include 12 Sukhoi 30 MKI and 21 Mig-19 fighter jets .
TMU previously reported that both countries counterparts Wang Yi and Indian diplomat Subrahmanyam Jaishankar have now discussed the situation via a phone call with both coming to an agreement that the conflict needs to “ cool down.
” While things have thus far calmed down according to China , India is still on alert for potential war responses .
Hindustan Times also reports that China has begun cyberattacks against @ @ @ @ @ @ @ financial services like ATMs .
China stated the overall situation was “ stable and controllable , ” on Thursday through its Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson Zhao Lijian .
“ We believe that guided by the important consensus reached between the two leaders , China and India can properly deal with the current situation , jointly uphold peace and stability in the border areas , and ensure a sound and steady development of bilateral relations , ” Foreign Ministry spokesperson Zhao Lijian said at a press briefing .
Lijian added , the two sides @ @ @ @ @ @ @ problems via diplomatic and military channels , the spokesperson told reporters .
“ As the world ’ s two largest developing countries and emerging economies , China and India have far more common interests than differences .
The two sides should follow the important consensus reached by leaders of the two countries and ensure that China-India relations move in the right direction in line with the interests and expectations of both nations , ” Zhao said .
However , China ’ s spokesperson still blamed India for the conflict , stating : “ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ s frontline troops , in violation of the agreement reached at the Commander-level meeting , once again crossed the Line of Actual Control for deliberate provocation , and even violently attacked the Chinese officers and soldiers who went to the terrain for negotiation , thus triggering fierce physical conflicts and causing casualties , ” Zhao added .
According to Hindustan Times , Indian and Chinese delegations , led by major generals , met on Thursday near Patrol Point 14 in Galwan Valley as part of military engagements to de-fuse tensions on the disputed @ @ @ @ @ @ @ between Major General Abhijit Bapat , commander of Karu-based headquarters 3 Infantry Division , and his Chinese counterpart since the stand-off began in early May , and the third after Monday night ’ s clash that left 20 Indian soldiers dead .
The Guardian reports that China released 10 Indian soldiers after an agreement on the release was reached at major general-level talks between the Indian Army and China ’ s People ’ s Liberation Army .
China further used its state-backed mouthpiece , the ‘ Global Times ’ , to threaten India @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , and even Nepal on Wednesday if the border tensions escalated .
The Global Times quoted an individual at the Institute of International Relations of the Shanghai Academy of Social Sciences , Hu Zhiyong , in its one-sided and biased editorial , stating , “ India has engaged in border disputes with China , Pakistan and Nepal at the same time .
As Pakistan is a reliable strategic partner of China , and Nepal also has close ties with China , and both of them are key partners under the China-proposed Belt and @ @ @ @ @ @ @ tensions , it could face military pressure from two or even three fronts , which is far beyond India ’ s military capability and this might lead to a disastrous defeat for India.

India told its armed forces to make emergency procurements to stock up war reserves in the wake of escalating conflict with China.
India told its armed forces on Monday to make emergency procurements to stock up its war reserves in the wake of escalating conflict with China along the Line Of Actual Control (LAC), which is the long disputed border between India and China. In addition, the India Navy has also been given the go-ahead to deploy its assets near the Malacca Strait, and, if needed, anywhere else in the Indo-Pacific to counter the Chinese, the India Economic Times reported.
This follows the first bloody conflict between the two Asian powers for the first time in 40 years with the killing of dozens of troops from India and China along a contested border of both countries in the Himalayas. The situation spurred after a failed diplomatic meeting in Galwan River valley, which is in the Himalayas region of Ladakh.
The Times of India corroborated the Economic Times claims, stating that Indian forces are in a “warlike alert.” The Indian Air Force (IAF) is also seeking a go-ahead to purchase 33 fighter aircrafts from Russia, according to reports. These will include 12 Sukhoi 30 MKI and 21 Mig-19 fighter jets.
TMU previously reported that both countries counterparts Wang Yi and Indian diplomat Subrahmanyam Jaishankar have now discussed the situation via a phone call with both coming to an agreement that the conflict needs to “cool down.”
While things have thus far calmed down according to China, India is still on alert for potential war responses. Hindustan Times also reports that China has begun cyberattacks against Indian infrastructure including government information websites and financial services like ATMs.
China stated the overall situation was “stable and controllable,” on Thursday through its Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson Zhao Lijian.
“We believe that guided by the important consensus reached between the two leaders, China and India can properly deal with the current situation, jointly uphold peace and stability in the border areas, and ensure a sound and steady development of bilateral relations,” Foreign Ministry spokesperson Zhao Lijian said at a press briefing.
Lijian added, the two sides are in close communication on solving the problems via diplomatic and military channels, the spokesperson told reporters.
“As the world’s two largest developing countries and emerging economies, China and India have far more common interests than differences. The two sides should follow the important consensus reached by leaders of the two countries and ensure that China-India relations move in the right direction in line with the interests and expectations of both nations,” Zhao said.
However, China’s spokesperson still blamed India for the conflict, stating:
“The whole thing happened because India’s frontline troops, in violation of the agreement reached at the Commander-level meeting, once again crossed the Line of Actual Control for deliberate provocation, and even violently attacked the Chinese officers and soldiers who went to the terrain for negotiation, thus triggering fierce physical conflicts and causing casualties,” Zhao added.
According to Hindustan Times, Indian and Chinese delegations, led by major generals, met on Thursday near Patrol Point 14 in Galwan Valley as part of military engagements to de-fuse tensions on the disputed border. This was the seventh meeting between Major General Abhijit Bapat, commander of Karu-based headquarters 3 Infantry Division, and his Chinese counterpart since the stand-off began in early May, and the third after Monday night’s clash that left 20 Indian soldiers dead.
The Guardian reports that China released 10 Indian soldiers after an agreement on the release was reached at major general-level talks between the Indian Army and China’s People’s Liberation Army. China further used its state-backed mouthpiece, the ‘Global Times’, to threaten India with military pressure from China, Pakistan, and even Nepal on Wednesday if the border tensions escalated.
The Global Times quoted an individual at the Institute of International Relations of the Shanghai Academy of Social Sciences, Hu Zhiyong, in its one-sided and biased editorial, stating, “India has engaged in border disputes with China, Pakistan and Nepal at the same time. As Pakistan is a reliable strategic partner of China, and Nepal also has close ties with China, and both of them are key partners under the China-proposed Belt and Road Initiative, if India escalates border tensions, it could face military pressure from two or even three fronts, which is far beyond India’s military capability and this might lead to a disastrous defeat for India.”
Last Sunday, the Chinese People’s Liberation Army conducted military drills in high altitude conditions with tanks prior to the incident with India on Monday, The Diplomat reported.

NATO has responded with U.S. representative Kay Bailey Hutchison stating China is being watched by the West due to its growing aggression with its neighbors like Japan and India and other territories like Taiwan. Hutchison insisted that “It’s much more on our radar screen, and I think it should be because we should assess the risk, hope for the best but prepare for the worst,”
Hutchison remarked that “So we know that China has the capability to compete on a level playing field, and we’re asking them to do that, but we’re also turning a wary eye to their behavior right now in the South China Sea, militarizing islands that they said would never be done, as well as the clampdown on Hong Kong.”
When the representative was asked if an actual military confrontation was on the horizon, she replied, “I think NATO is now looking to the East.”
A spokesperson for U.S. President Donald Trump has said he has “no formal plans” to mediate between India and China.
“There are no formal plans,” White House spokesman Kayleigh McEnany told reporters, but said Trump is “aware” and monitoring the tumultuous situation.

However, while the conflict with China may be ending, another escalation has since happened with Pakistan. When this was going to press, Pakistan accused India of “unprovoked” shelling fire in the disputed Kashmir region, which resulted in the deaths of four civilians.

It appears that a sizzling “ heat dome ” will be frying most of the continental United States for several weeks starting this weekend .

The new extremes sharply raise the danger of heat-related illness and death , further adding to the woes of hospitals struggling with surging COVID-19 infections in hard-hit regions and states like Arizona , California , Nevada and Texas .
“ The heat wave will be very @ @ @ @ @ @ @ areas with only a few days of near-normal temperatures during that span , ” Jeff Masters , Ph.D. and founder of the popular site Weather Underground , told CBS News .

On Friday, the National Weather Service issued excessive heat watch alerts for “dangerously hot conditions” and forecast that between Friday and Tuesday, over 75 record high temperatures would be reached or exceeded, with heat expected to increase in the following week.
Summer is in full swing! Tropical Storm Fay formed in the Atlantic. Thunderstorms, some severe, in the Plains and Upper Midwest. Excessive heat up to 121 F possible in the Desert Southwest into early next week. Critical fire weather threats continue for portions of the West. pic.twitter.com/iUODiRglYd — National Weather Service (@NWS) July 10, 2020
On Saturday, temperature in Las Vegas reached a sweltering 112°F with the temperature expected to increase to 114°F on Sunday, while in Phoenix temperatures hit 115°F with Sunday expected to bring a withering 116°F before coasting at or above 110°F through the next week.
The new extremes sharply raise the danger of heat-related illness and death, further adding to the woes of hospitals struggling with surging COVID-19 infections in hard-hit regions and states like Arizona, California, Nevada and Texas.
“The heat wave will be very long-lived, lasting multiple weeks in some areas with only a few days of near-normal temperatures during that span,” Jeff Masters, Ph.D. and founder of the popular site Weather Underground, told CBS News. “This will increase the odds of heat illness and heat-related deaths.”
Indeed, that’s the highest I see—although their record only goes back to 1949. https://t.co/CIRg2Px5V1 — Bob Henson (@bhensonweather) July 11, 2020
And for those who may be feeling a little bored sheltering at home, there could be some excitement in store for you in the form of thunderstorms in the Midwest and Northeast, hurricanes in the South, and wildfires in the Southwest and West Coast.
This less-than-good news comes as the east coast buckles down and braces itself for Tropical Storm Fay, which is set to thrash the New England region, deluge New York, and inundate parts of New Jersey with flash floods.

The news comes as many are already struggling to stay cool during the COVID-19 lockdown without air conditioning, or even the jobs and income to keep their AC units operational if they do have them.
Heat domes occur when the atmosphere keeps hot ocean air trapped as if it were under a lid or cap, with the end result being conditions of persistent high pressure and sustained heat for a prolonged period of time, sprawled over massive geographical regions.
To make matters worse, the larger the heat dome becomes, the hotter and more longer-lasting it will be.
According to a team of National Ocean Services researchers who set up the Modeling, Analysis Predictions and Projections program to figure out why heat domes occur, they found that the primary cause was strong changes in ocean temperatures from west to east in the tropical Pacific Ocean during the prior winter.
“This happens when strong, high-pressure atmospheric conditions combine with influences from La Niña, creating vast areas of sweltering heat that get trapped under the high-pressure ‘dome’,” the ocean service said.

Last August, Miller was also charged with 64 counts of felony sexual abuse of children after investigators found images on his phone and laptop of children and animals being sexually abused.
Police had received a warrant to search his home after Miller called people in jail asking them to destroy his phone, reports the Great Falls Tribune.
During the investigation, officers also found a loaded gun under a mattress as well as Miller’s laptop. Upon examining his laptop, investigators found several images depicting child abuse as well as thousands of images related to bestiality.
Among the images were those depicting him engaging in sexual acts with a 17-year-old minor, who Miller later married when she became 19.
In a plea deal Miller later reached with prosecutors, the vast majority of charges ended up being dismissed. Based on a single photo of the 17-year-old girl that was found in his possession, Miller pleaded guilty to one count of felony sexual abuse of children and one count of misdemeanor unsworn falsification to authorities.
On Monday, Cascade County District Judge Elizabeth Best sentenced Miller to six months in prison for the misdemeanor. However, he received credit for 384 days of time served.
For the felony charge, Miller was given a one-year deferred sentence and was ordered to undergo sex offender treatment in the community. However, the deferred sentence allows Miller to have the child sex abuse charge wiped from his record provided he doesn’t commit another crime over the next year, reports KFBB.
The felony charges to which Miller pleaded guilty are connected to a photo of 17-year-old teenager Shiloh Young. The woman, who is now 19, and has been married to Miller for three months. She claims that she had taken the photo of herself to help her deal with body issues that she had.
“William is a kind, compassionate, empathetic man. Never has he manipulated or controlled me,” Young explained to the judge. “I ask that we be free of this charge. I feel that we have suffered enough, and I am not a victim of my husband.”
During sentencing, Judge Best said that she was only able to impose sentencing on Miller based on the charges that had been presented to her and what was able to be proven, rather than on the myriad accusations against the sex offender.
I think it’s really easy and it’s easy for courts, from the bench, to use these offenses as an opportunity to grandstand and to make statements for the newspaper and TV,” Best explained.
“They’re very, very loaded charges. They’re very difficult charges to defend against,” she added.
During sentencing, Miller complained that his time in jail was served “for stuff that I didn’t even do,” and that he tries to be a good person but suffers from “really bad luck.”
