Video shows Texas officers nearly shooting business owner
SUMMARY: Fort Worth police released body camera footage of an incident where officers nearly shot a business owner responding to a burglary alarm at Taria Ruby. The officers saw the man with a gun and ordered him to drop it, unaware he was the owner. Chief Robert Aldridge cited a communication gap, stressing that owners should alert police when accessing their property during alarms. Criminologist Alex Del Carmen noted the officers followed protocol despite not announcing themselves. Fortunately, the owner was unhurt, and the incident highlights the need for better coordination to avoid such situations. The investigation into the burglary continues.

No one was injured, but the video shows just how close this story came to having a very different outcome.

How a test flight turned into a 9-month stay for NASA astronauts
SUMMARY: NASA astronauts Butch Wilmore and Sunita Williams extended their initial 8-day test flight aboard the Boeing Starliner to nine and a half months due to multiple propulsion issues. Launched on June 5, their mission faced challenges like helium leaks, prompting NASA to keep them at the International Space Station and bring them home using SpaceX’s Dragon capsule. During their 286-day journey, they orbited Earth over 4,500 times. Post-mission, they’ll undergo rehab at Johnson Space Center to regain lost muscle mass and bone density, requiring clearance from flight surgeons before returning home.

NASA astronauts Butch Wilmore and Sunita Williams have returned to Earth after what was initially planned as an eight-day mission turned into a 286-day stay in space due to problems with Boeing’s Starliner spacecraft.
The astronauts, who launched on June 5 aboard the Boeing Starliner for what was supposed to be its first crewed test flight, ended up spending more than nine months at the International Space Station after technical issues prevented their scheduled return.

Former Austin police officer pleads guilty to misdemeanor for March 2021 incident | FOX 7 Austin
SUMMARY: Former Austin police officer Alejandra Gaton pleaded guilty to a misdemeanor charge for his role in a March 2021 incident, where he used excessive force during the arrest of Carvas Jackson. Gaton struck Jackson with a baton and deployed a taser. Initially indicted on felony and misdemeanor charges, Gaton reached a plea deal to avoid prison, accepting two years of deferred adjudication, anger management, community service, and a permanent loss of his law enforcement license. His attorneys stated that Gaton, who served over seven years with the Austin Police Department, chose to leave law enforcement due to ongoing prosecution challenges.

Trump urges immigrants to self-deport; chief justice defends role of federal judges
SUMMARY: Supreme Court Chief Justice John Roberts defended federal judges after President Trump criticized them regarding immigration enforcement. Amid the deportation of hundreds of immigrants, Trump suggested that undocumented individuals could self-deport using the CBP home app. He warned that those who do not comply could face permanent deportation. This situation arose after the Justice Department invoked the alien enemies act to expedite the removal of alleged violent gang members, even with a judge’s verbal order to halt deportations. The Justice Department argued that the judge’s orders were not clear, while Roberts emphasized that impeachment is not suitable for judicial disagreements.

In a video posted on Truth Social, President Donald Trump urged undocumented immigrants to self-deport via the new CBP Home app. Meanwhile, Supreme Court Chief Justice John Roberts is defending the role of federal judges amid criticism from President Trump.
