Good Morning Australia!! - Three police officers are killed in the same US town where cops killed an unarmed black man - Arrests in Turkey skyrocket after the failed coup - Some in NATO are wondering if a partnership with Turkey is worth it any more  - And more in your CareerSpot Global News Briefs:

A gunman shot and killed three police officers in Baton Rouge, Louisiana.  Police officials say they are confident that the other officers at the scene gunned down the killer at the scene.  Cops had responded to a call about a man dressed in black military fatigues and mask carrying a long rifle behind a group of retail stores along the Airline Highway, a main thoroughfare in that part of the capital of Louisiana.  Officials caution the situation remains fluid and the investigation is ongoing.  On 5 July, two Baton Rouge police officers were caught on video shooting and killing Alton Sterling, a black man who was selling CDs outside of a gas station.

After the Baton Rouge Police Shooting, the union representing police in Cleveland, Ohio asked the governor to suspend the state's "open carry" laws, which allow gun owners to wander in public around with their weapons holstered or slung around their shoulders.  The security implications are obvious.  Cleveland will host the US Republican Party National Convention this week.  "We are sending a letter to Governor Kasich requesting assistance from him," said Stephen Loomis, president of Cleveland Police Patrolmen's Association.  "He could very easily do some kind of executive order or something -- I don't care if it's constitutional or not at this point."  Kasich, a former Republican presidential candidate, responded: "Ohio governors do not have the power to arbitrarily suspend federal and state constitutional rights or state laws as suggested."  So, good luck with that.

More than 6,000 people are now under arrest in the aftermath of the failed coup attempt in Turkey, including base commander General Bekir Ercan Van from the all-important Incirlik Air Base that's frequently shared with NATO.  US forces are using Incirlik to launch air attacks against Islamic State in Syria to the south.  Among the 104 soldiers and 161 civilians killed in the aborted coup was President Recep Tayyip Erdogan's political campaign manager, and the man's 16-year old son.  Still, not much is known about the coup plotters, save for Erdogan's vague allegations against Fethullah Gulen, an aging cleric living in exile in Pennsylvania whom Erdogan has blamed for other problems in Turkey.  Gulen thinks the "coup" was an Erdogan false-flag to consolidate power.

But the coup and Erdogan's bombastic response to it are raising doubts about the West's future relations with Ankara.  France's Foreign Minister says Turkey may no longer be a "viable partner" in the fight against Islamic State.  "There are questions that are being asked and we will ask them," said Jean-Marc Ayrault to France 3 television, referring to a security meeting in Washington, DC this week.  "It (Turkey) is partly viable, but there are suspicions as well.  Let's be honest about this," he added.  Mr. Ayrault also warned Erdogan against using his country's failed coup as a "blank cheque" to silence his opponents.

Investigators in Nice, France arrested a man for allegedly supplying weapons to Mohamed Lahaouaiej Bouhlel, who rammed a truck into a crowd of Bastille Day revelers last week, killing 84 people.  A message sent from Bouhlel's mobile just 18 minutes before the slaughter read, "Bring more weapons, bring five of them to C":  The suspect is believed to have been the recipient, and investigators are determining the significance of the initial "C".  Although the description of Bouhlel as a pork-eating, alcohol-drinking, gambler seems at odds with religious extremism, authorities believe he was "radicalized quickly".  Islamic State claims Bouhlel as one of its "soldiers".

A court in Sunni Muslim-ruled Bahrain has ordered the Shiite opposition group Wefaq National Islamic Society be shut down and its assets seized.  Wefaq led pro-democracy protests in the kingdom in 2011, which were met with the king calling in troops from neighboring Gulf states to crush them.

Venezuela opened its border with Colombia for a second time this month, with thousands pouring over to purchase groceries and goods not available back home.  President Nicolas Maduro accuses Venezuela's wealthy elites and their US allies with holding back production to strangle the economy.

Police in Pakistan have located and arrested the brother of Pakistani social media celebrity Qandeel Baloch for her murder.  Waseem Azeem reportedly confessed to the murder, saying he drugged and strangled her "for dishonoring the Baloch name".  Qandeel Baloch gained notoriety for posting fashion photos to social media - tame, by Western standards - and criticizing Pakistan's patriarchal society.

The United Nations cultural organization UNESCO has listed 17 works by pioneering Franco-Swiss architect Le Corbusier as world heritage sites.  Le Corbusier specialized in big white concrete rectangles, which sounds godawful but were actually magnificent works of Modernism in his use of scale and proportion - and were certainly superior to the Brutalism and penny-pinching copycats his methods influenced.  Most of the sites are in France and Europe, although Tokyo's National Museum of Western Art in Ueno Park is a more easily accessible site to Aussies.  UNESCO says Le Corbusier's designs created "a new architectural language that made a break with the past".
