🗣 Jayland Walker’s funeral follows days of protest in Akron Hundreds of people filled a theater and passersby honked their horns in sympathy as family and friends shared their memories of Jayland Walker, the 25-year-old Black man killed in a hail of police gunfire in Akron, at his funeral Wednesday. Mourners passed his open casket during the viewing at the Akron Civic Theatre, some attendees wearing T-shirts that said “Black Lives Matter” or “Zero Threat, Zero Violence, Justice for Jayland.” Walker was killed June 27 at the end of a vehicle and foot chase that followed an attempted traffic stop and he wasn’t armed when he was shot. The Summit County medical examiner’s office said it found more than 60 wounds on Walker’s body but hasn’t said how many were entrance and exit wounds. Akron police are conducting an internal investigation to determine if officers followed procedures.

💽 CIA engineer is convicted in a massive theft of secrets released by WikiLeaks
A former CIA software engineer was convicted on Wednesday of federal charges accusing him of causing the biggest theft of classified information in CIA history. Joshua Schulte, who chose to defend himself at a New York City retrial, had told jurors in closing arguments that the CIA and FBI made him a scapegoat for an embarrassing public release of a trove of CIA secrets by WikiLeaks in 2017. Schulte watched without visibly reacting as US District Judge Jesse M. Furman announced the guilty verdict on nine counts, which was reached in mid-afternoon by a jury that has deliberated since Friday.

Elon Musk has responded to Twitter's announcement that it intends to sue the billionaire $44Bln for backing out of buying the platform. Although Musk's tweet did not mention the lawsuit, it was obvious he was referring to it, given that, back in April, Twitter…
In a lawsuit filed on Tuesday, Twitter used Elon Musk's posts, one of which was a turd emoji, as evidence that he neglected the company in violation of the contractual obligations by which he was bound when he agreed to buy it for $44Bln.
The tweet was widely seen as mocking statements by chief executive Parag Agrawal while trying to explain the way Twitter detects its bot accounts - the main reason Musk's legal team gave for pulling out of the deal
