He was yelled a question from 25 yards away and yelled back. This is how he talks.

It is. Stop make no excuses for him. He's a narcissist with potentially diminishing mental capabilities (compare the way he speaks now to video of him 10-15 years ago.) One would think he could come up with some brief but appropriate statement in event of a tragedy, but time and time again he fails. He's heavily reliant on reading prepared statements unless he's talking about himself . He's never been about anything but impulse and ego - and that's going back decades.

First thing I thought of was that or another article about RU testing a system to spoof civilian GPS satellites. A number of ships in harbor showed their location 30 miles inland.

That would be very bad for GPS guided bombs.

Yes it would. Did you just mention Russia? Some in our government seem to think they're our friends. They're no longer communist but they're still not our friends.

Also to reiterate something I've said before - if you want to destabilize a country, rile up the extremists at both ends of the spectrum. Then normalize their messages to bring the conflict into the mainstream. Think about that.

This is interesting...though not surprising.

Actually you are quite on the money here. The battlefields in Iraq, Afghanistan, Pakistan and elsewhere are used to test new weapons and technologies like armory, drones, sigint/mass interception devices, etc.
And then the equipment is brought back home and used against civilian targets. So now you have tanks even in small cities, drones patrolling the skies (flying over your head right now), face recognition cameras spreading, IMSI catchers etc and the whole country is becoming a 'militarized' society. All these systems have been test-run somewhere before. You also need a convenient playground for some more toxic types of weapons (think depleted uranium or stuff like that).

Looks like the UK Police are in need of more equipment or more muscle. Just look how embarrassing this video is for them: 11 bobbies against 1, whatever... LOL

Your being hateful and it's hurting you. I heard the reply and the inflection in his voice. He was not glib, it was with a sorrowful tone.

Have a great day.

I'm more interested in actual espionage / blackmail between the DNC, Debbie Wasserman Schultz and her "IT" family from Pakistan.

As I read this, you're describing Corporate media attempts to normalize violence from the failed Occupy movement and now, Antifa and BLM.

I think this is a cultural response. No doubt this guy would have died in the USA but UK police have a difference mission.

USA police could use more restraint. The reason BLM gets traction is b/c US police respond with deadly force to often.

I remember in the 80's a women, a mother, was shot dead in frontyard b/c she wouldn't let the Gas company have access to shut off the gas meter. So CA in the winter, temps were freezing.

I'm not an MMA fighter but four men with clubs should have been able to handle one woman with a shovel. LA Police and LA County Sheriff have earned their reputation.

Yay!

Baby steps.

USA police have been confronting and dealing with extreme violence for many many decades, while the British police are only dealing with rising violence in the last decade or two, especially after the open borders policy started by Tony Blair and still going on.

My dislike of 45 and opinion that he's highly unsuited (at best!) for the job role he has assumed is not hate, is not hurting me in the least, and is widely shared.

As I read this, you're describing Corporate media attempts to normalize violence from the failed Occupy movement and now, Antifa and BLM.

Talking about provocation and disinformation by foreign actors being disseminated via various methods, including social media, targeting far left and far right groups and media.

I'm no fan of the father but FFS leave the kid out of it.

No. They are taught to deadly force is justified if they feel endangered. And are given huge leeway when assessing the situation.

It's a problem.

Yeah. People see a kid who's almost six feet tall and forget his 11 years old. Combed hair, clean face and hands is about the best you can expect from any of mine.

So, when you are dealing with deadly gangs, that hate cops and are armed to their teeth, should you be dealing with them like the British Bobbies do?

I'm saying the reaction of the UK police was based on their rules of engagement, which are influenced by their culture.

The USA could learn something from the UK. Not every situation requires deadly force and US police should do a better job knowing the difference.

The UK culture has changed a lot in recent years, but UK cops have not, except for being asked to be politically correct and turning a blind eye to crimes committed by some sections of the population so as not to be branded as racists.

Tons of stories that corroborate what I'm talking about, if you follow British news

Maybe the British Bobbies could learn something from USA cops, in certain situations.

Swedish police are also great... On this video 3 female cops and 1 male security guard try to apprehend a refugee going amok. They fail miserably, so they call for backup consisting of 2 male cops, who get pushed to the ground. The latter part wasn't caught on tape, however...

Does baby powder cause cancer? A $417 million settlement says yes
A woman has been awarded a record settlement after alleging that she got cancer from using Johnson & Johnson baby powder for more than 40 years.

On Monday, a Los Angeles jury ordered the company to pay a record $417 million to Eva Echeverria, who accused Johnson & Johnson of not adequately warning customers about the potential risks related to the talcum powder used in its products.
