After a three-week trial, a jury on Friday found that the city and county of Denver violated the First and Fourth Amendment rights of 12 protesters. Jurors found that Denver failed to properly train officers, resulting in police violating the plaintiffs’ constitutional rights. Attorneys for the protesters argued rights were violated by police shooting them while they were protesting peacefully. Objects shot toward the crowd included tear gas, flashbang grenades, pepper balls, rubber bullets and other projectiles....

The 28-year-old is set to fight lightweight world champion Teofimo Lopez on Oct. 16, although there has been a multitude of hiccups along the way. Lopez tested positive for COVID-19 prior to the original date in June, while the Oct. 4 date was pushed back by Triller due to a clash with an NFL game. And in a bizarre twist, Triller has now pulled out of the fight due to a clash with Kambosos and his camp....

Elden Ring released last week and was received extraordinarily well by both players and critics alike. In fact, Elden Ring is now one of the highest-rated games ever made. The title is currently sitting 15th on the list of the best reviewed games of all time, which is something that Hidetaka Miyazaki and FromSoftware are most likely exceptionally proud of. Elden Ring released in a busy window, but was still able to shine despite its tough competition in Horizon Forbidden West and Pokemon Legends: Arceus....

Santos, a Republican, was elected New York’s 3rd Congressional District in the recent midterm election, beating out Democratic nominee Robert Zimmerman after incumbent Democrat Thomas Suozzi pursued an unsuccessful campaign for governor. Several weeks after his election, numerous reports emerged claiming that Santos had fabricated numerous aspects of the backstory that he campaigned on, including his work history, education, religious background and charitable work. On Sunday, a new report from the New York Times uncovered yet more details from the congressman-elect’s past, including more allegations of serial dishonesty....

Hice, speaking Sunday with Fox News at the Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC) in Dallas, mocked Democrats for “screaming about voter suppression” and said he’s not concerned about GOP infighting with Raffensperger. He echoed Trump’s unproven claims that Georgia’s 2020 was “stolen” through widespread voter fraud, saying Sunday that the only reason he is running against Raffensperger is to re-establish “election integrity.” Hice told Fox News he’s not concerned that intra-party fighting in the primary could lose Republicans the secretary of state seat in the upcoming election....

Lt. G.D Langford said when he saw Cannon refuse his requests to stop knocking on the door of Kemp’s office who was signing the controversial SB 202 legislation, he feared a repeat of the insurrection in the U.S. Capitol. “The events of January 6, 2021 at the U.S. Capitol were in the back of my mind,” Langford wrote in an incident report obtained by The Atlanta Journal-Constitution. Langford was concerned that a group of protesters had gathered in the lobby and “began to get louder as she was refusing to follow my commands....

Collins—who Trump on Saturday night suggested should run to replace current Georgia Governor Brian Kemp—said the president is not offering “conflicting messages” as he campaigns for Senate runoff candidates Kelly Loeffler and David Perdue. Trump simultaneously blasted the U.S. election process as fraudulent and unfair over his failed re-election bid against President-elect Joe Biden. Collins campaigned as a “Trusted Trump Defender” during his own unsuccessful Senate campaign against Loeffler earlier this year....

Ossoff, who has previously sought to weaponize the issue of stimulus against his opponent, questioned the $600 payments and reflected on the financial hardships caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. “It’s been 8 months,” he tweeted, with the last COVID-19 relief package, the CARES Act, which included the first round of $1,200 stimulus checks, having been passed at the end of March. “$600? Really?” In a direct criticism of Perdue, he added: “After 8 months of obstruction Senator Perdue and Senate Republicans insisted on cutting direct relief checks for Georgia families in half....

All of this results from one of the worst droughts Georgia has experienced in 100 years. Gov. Sonny Perdue has declared a state of emergency for 85 counties in the northern part of the state that are withering under a stage 4 drought, the worst classification possible. The problem isn’t confined to Georgia; neighboring Southeastern states are suffering the consequences of meager rainfall as well. And the prognosis isn’t encouraging....

Muschamp announced the new date on his weekly radio show. “There are a lot of logistics that go into this,” he said, per the Post and Courier of Charleston, S.C. “And, obviously, we need to be sensitive to what’s going on in our state right now. How catastrophic this storm will be, no one knows. But the most important thing is the safety of the people on our coast.”...

With 18 seconds left in regulation, the Bulldogs scored this touchdown and it looked like they were going to hold on for the win. But the Yellow Jackets weren’t having any of that. They got off a couple quick plays to set up this 53-yard field goal attempt to send the game to overtime. If the field goal was 53 yards, that ball traveled 53 yards and one inch....

Tennessee leads the FBS in scoring offense (49.4), and quarterback Hendon Hooker has emerged as the favorite for the Heisman Trophy. The Vols are 5-0 against ranked teams this season....

The 28-year-old centre-back was agitated with the linesman’s decision to not call an offside on Artiz Aduriz during Barcelona’s 1-1 draw at the Camp Nou, and retaliated at the official’s decision by using profanity. This left referee Carlos Velasco Carballo with no other choice but to give him a red card in the 55th minute, ending the Catalan club’s chance of overcoming the four-goal deficit they picked up in the first leg....

The Associated Press reported Monday that more than 30,000 new cases were reported in Germany in the past 24 hours, about a 50 percent increase from last week. The country’s COVID-19 death toll is expected to pass 100,000 this week. Spahn urged all eligible Germans to get vaccinated, including booster shots for those who had their last dose more than six months ago. “By the end of this winter pretty much everyone in Germany…will have been vaccinated, recovered or died,” Spahn told reporters in Berlin....

Kindl broke the track record with his second-run time of 49.837 seconds, capping his victory in 1:39.774. Germany’s Felix Loch was second, about one-tenth of a second back, and Austria’s Reinhard Egger took third. Chris Mazdzer of the U.S. was the top North American finisher, placing sixth. Eggert and Benecken won the doubles in 1:16.691, leading a 1-2-3 German sweep of the medals. Robin Johannes Geueke and David Gamm were second, and Tobias Wendl and Tobias Arlt finished third....

The experienced centre-back played a full 90 minutes in the disappointing 3-0 loss to Netherlands, but has now left the team base in Amsterdam. Boateng is the sixth player to withdraw from the squad Low initially picked and he will now have to choose a new partner for Mats Hummels to face the world champions in Paris on Tuesday. Defeat to France would leave Germany, winless in two Nations League matches, on the brink of relegation to League B....

Ireland eased past Gibraltar on Saturday, with a Robbie Keane hat-trick in the first 18 minutes inspiring them to a 7-0 victory. This result followed up a fantastic win away against Georgia, with Aiden McGeady scoring a last-minute winner to give his side the best possible start to the campaign. With two qualifying spots available in Group D, the pressure will be on the Irish to take something away from this fixture, especially with Poland looking very strong and Germany expected to assert their dominance to qualify for the finals....
