Galveston Police Department Officer Jared Rivas on leave after video shows him punching teen, officials say
SUMMARY: In Galveston, Texas, a video captured by Heidi Williams shows off-duty police officer Jared Rivas hitting multiple people, including minors, during a child's birthday party. The confrontation began when Rivas, mistaken for an official security guard, demanded party attendees leave a pool area. As they complied, Rivas allegedly struck a mother and then a 13-year-old boy, who retaliated, prompting further violence. Rivas also reportedly hit Williams' 14-year-old daughter. Galveston police have placed Rivas on administrative leave and initiated an internal investigation. Williams intends to press charges, and her children remain traumatized from the incident.

SUMMARY: Summertime in Texas brings extreme heat and severe weather, making car maintenance vital for safe road travel. Key vehicle checks include tire condition, wiper blades, lights, and battery health. Heat can cause tire blowouts and battery failure, so regular inspections are essential. Ensure wipers and lights function well, especially for navigating storms. Monitor coolant and Freon levels to prevent overheating. Don't neglect brake maintenance, checked during oil changes. Essential items for emergencies include a first aid kit, jumper cables, a spare gas container, an air compressor, extra phone chargers, and spare headlights or blinkers to ensure visibility and safety.

SUMMARY: Rip currents pose the greatest danger to beachgoers, accounting for most beach rescues annually. Recently, six people drowned in Florida due to rip currents, highlighting their threat. Around 100 drownings occur yearly in the U.S. because of rip currents, with over 80% of rescues involving them. Rip currents are narrow, fast-flowing water channels moving away from the beach and can be hard to detect. Swimmers caught in rip currents should avoid panic, swim parallel to the shore, and seek lifeguard assistance. The National Weather Service and NOAA have developed early warning systems to predict rip current conditions up to six days in advance.
