Memorial In Front of DPD Headquarters Will Remain Until Tuesday Afternoon. It was pushed back a day, because some officers still haven’t had a chance to visit.

Royce West: Questions From a Black Man. The senator’s op-ed is worth your attention.

Small Group Of White Separatists Protest In Downtown. “I’m sorry but the media is biased. And they’re gonna paint us as haters and racists and all of that but that’s not what this is all about,” said Scott Lacy with the Aryan Renaissance Society, one of the 20 or so in White Lives Matter shirts at the Bank of America Tower. I’m not surprised it happened, but NOT NOW, GUYS. NOT EVER. Get to stepping. I don’t know how Lacy even said that with a straight face.

Vigil Held In Prosper Park For Father and Son Killed in Nice Attack. Sean Copeland, 51, and his 11-year-old son Brodie were vacationing in France with their family when they were killed during the terror attack that claimed 82 others and injured 200.

FC Dallas Stays Atop MLS. Bouncing back from a rough mid-week loss in Seattle, FCD took down the Chicago Fire 3-1 in a match that featured a beautiful rabona assist from Fabian Castillo to Maxi Urruti (pictured above) to kick off the scoring and a laser from 30 yards out from newly named MLS All-Star Mauro Diaz. It was a big day for the organization, as their U-15/16 and U-17/18 teams both won U.S. Soccer Academy championships for the second year in a row, the first team to do so. #DTID
