POPSBoston PD Officer Barrett G-O-N-E, Says Mayor Thomas Menino But city lawyers cited Menino’s former Gotham counterpart, ex-New York Mayor Rudy Giuliani, who triumphed in court when a cop sued after he was fired for racist behavior. According to reports at the time, Joseph Locurto donned blackface and joined others on the float who hurled watermelon slices at the crowd and re-enacted the brutal murder of James Byrd Jr., a black man dragged to death by white men months earlier. Separately, city lawyers said Barrett’s disciplinary hearing would not be held this week, according to court documents. Barrett’s attorney had raised concerns the cop, who is on paid administrative leave, would be fired for filing the lawsuit.

POPSMarines March in Scorching Afghanistan Sun July 4
Some 4,000 Marines are moving through southern Helmand to take back Taliban-held territory and pinch the insurgents' supply lines. Bravo Company has seen a lot of walking but up to now little fighting, though other Marines in the operation have had extended battles. So far, the worst danger facing Bravo is the heat. Temperatures are well above 100 degrees (37.8 Celsius), and medics treated several heat casualties Saturday. "When (body) temperature goes up past 104, your brain starts cooking, and that's what we're trying to prevent," said Simon Trujillo, an HM3 Navy Medic from Dallas. The high heat, heavy packs, limited water and three straight days of walking through tough farmland terrain were taking a toll, he said. Several Marines threw up or were dry-heaving from the heat. Three passed out, and other Marines rushed to share the weight and pour water on overheated bodies. "It's pretty taxing on your body. There's no way to prepare for this," said Trujillo.
