NEW YORK (CBSNewYork) – In an effort to humanize law enforcement, police officers across the country are competing in “Cop Pool Karaoke” and lip sync battles. We begin with the Boston Police Department , whose rendition of “God Bless America” went viral: Well played, BPD. But naturally, the NYPD had a response . Last week, Police Commissioner James O’Neill shared a video of two officers singing Katy Perry’s “Firework” in their patrol car: Here you go, @bostonpolice . Everyone have an outstanding #July4th2018 — we'll all just keep singing, while fighting crime and keeping people safe. Thanks for the inspiration, @katyperry , @CarpoolKaraoke and @JKCorden . Enjoy the fireworks … and #GodBlessAmerica . pic.twitter.com/67OSRdKMUp — Commissioner O'Neill (@NYPDONeill) July 4, 2018 In Texas, lip sync battles have have gone statewide . The brother of Patrick Zamarripa, one of five Dallas police officers killed in an ambush in 2016 , shared a video of the fallen officer dancing to music in his patrol car. The video was recorded several years before his death. “My brother would have instantly accepted the challenge, because in my post I said in an alternate universe he would accept the challenge,” Carlos Zamarripa said. The Arlington Police Department invited CBS Dallas-Fort Worth to film the making of its challenge at a Dunkin’ Donuts: “What a great way for us to interact with the public in a different manner, and, for example, making these types of videos. It puts officers in a different light, it’s really positive for our department, and it allows us to reach folks that sometimes we normally wouldn’t reach through the use of making a funny video like this,” said Lt. Chris Cook. Their video has since been posted to Facebook and viewed more than 100,000 times.

Crystal Gonzales. (Ontario PD) Crystal Gonzales was arrested on felony charges of felony child endangerment after leaving her children, ages 9 months and 1-years-old, alone in her truck, Ontario police said. At 7:44 p.m., a security guard at the Walmart located at 1333 N. Mountain Ave. called 911 to report that two children were locked in a GMC, Ontario police report. The vehicle was locked and the windows were cracked, police said. A crowd had formed around the vehicle. Officers and Ontario Fire Department crews responded and pulled the children safely out. Both were evaluated at the scene and did not require transport to a hospital, police said. Gonzalez was arrested after returning to her vehicle.

SEATTLE (CBS News) – Costco is removing Polish hot dogs from its food court menus to make way for healthier options. Shockingly, some longtime Costco customers are not too happy. A #SaveThePolishDog campaign is underway on social media to persuade Costco to reverse course, with one Twitter user declaring, “Cut the regular hot dog, if you must, but removing the Polish dog is the worst possible decision.” The addition of acai fruit bowls, organic burgers and plant-based protein salads to its food court offerings doesn’t mean Costco is nixing its original $1.50 all-beef hot dog combo — 137 million of which sold last year. No! No, @Costco ! This is unacceptable! Cut the regular hot dog, if you must, but removing the Polish dog is the worst possible decision! #SaveThePolishDog https://t.co/afgrbhW8zS — Joel Hilton (@786Joel) July 9, 2018 “The all-beef hot dog remains,” Richard Galanti, the retailer’s CFO, told the Seattle Times. The retail giant started hinting at menu changes to come at the beginning of the year, with Craig Jelinek, Costco’s chief executive, informing shareholders in January that “not everybody gets as excited about pizza and hot dogs as I do.” And, while fans of the Polish dog can still buy the product in bulk and enjoy at home, that knowledge did not appease all on social media, with one person tweeting that the company was “ruining” his life, as he prefers to buy a Polish dog as he walks out the retailer’s door. © 2018 CBS Interactive Inc..

IDAHO FALLS, ID (CBS Local) – An Idaho mother says “divine help” is to thank after she saved a 55-pound dog that fell off a cliff. Tia Vargas set out on a July 5 hike on Boise’s Table Rock in honor of her son, who is reportedly battling substance and mental health issues. The mother says counselors encouraged her to take on challenging activities to help relate to her son’s struggles better. “One of the things it said was to figure out how many miles you can walk and double it,” Vargas told EastIdahoNews.com . “So I decided I was going to hike Table Rock.” Before Vargas and her father could finish the seven-mile hike, they ran into another party of hikers who found an injured English Springer Spaniel. The dog, named Boomer, had been reported missing according to a sign at the bottom of the mountain. “I picked up the dog, put him on my shoulders and carried him down to where my dad was,” Vargas told reporters. “He laughed and said, ‘You don’t think this hike is hard enough so you have to pick him up and carry him down?’” Vargas and her father took several pictures of the mother’s grueling journey to get Boomer some help. According to Boomer’s owners, the dog slipped off a snow crevice and fell 100 feet before rolling down a 200-foot hill. “They went to find him but he was gone. They assumed he had climbed under a bush and died because there’s no way he could have survived that. He’s a miracle dog,” Vargas explained. Amazingly, Boomer had only suffered a few torn ligaments in the fall. As for their journey down the seven-mile trail, Vargas believes a higher power was looking out for her and the Springer Spaniel. “I was fatigued, my legs were shaky and felt like Jello, and there’s no way I could have gotten him off that mountain without divine help.” Boomer’s owners have reportedly agreed to let Vargas keep the dog since his injuries will likely keep him from being a hunting dog again. “He’s supposed to be in our family. He’s not a quitter and I’m so glad I was there that day.” Vargas added. “We’re all here to help each other and I’m just glad I can help.”

Mother Credits ‘Angels’ For Helping Her Save Dog That Fell Off Cliff
WASHINGTON (AP) — Americans increased their borrowing in May at the fastest pace in a year and a half, boosted by a big increase in credit card borrowing. Consumer debt rose $24.5 billion in May after an increase of $10 billion in April, the Federal Reserve reported Monday. It was the biggest monthly increase since a rise of $24.8 billion in November 2016. The category that includes credit cards climbed $16.3 billion in May after increasing by $5 billion in April. Consumer borrowing trends are closely monitored for clues they can provide about the willingness of consumers to borrow more to support their spending. Consumer spending accounts for 70 percent of U.S. economic activity. The overall economy, as measured by the gross domestic product, grew at a lackluster annual rate of 2.2 percent in the January-March quarter. But economists are forecasting a sizable rebound in the just-completed April-June quarter, based on reports that consumer spending has picked up again after a winter slowdown. The hefty gain in consumer credit in May pushed borrowing to a total $3.90 trillion on a seasonally-adjusted basis. The Fed’s monthly borrowing report does not include mortgages or any other debt secured by real estate, such as home equity lines of credit. (© Copyright 2018 The Associated Press.

NEW YORK (CBSNewYork) — Local hospitals are stepping up security measures. Northwell Health is launching a program to place armed security guards in all of its hospitals.

North Shore University Hospital in Manhasset has had the program in place since March. Northwell Health says all of the armed guards will be specially trained and former police officers. Northwell Health system has 23 hospitals across the area.
