[NYPOST] An adjunct professor teaching her first-ever course at a Caliphornia, an impregnable bastion of the Democratic Party, college was placed on leave this week after she ripped a student during a class presentation because he said he regards coppers as "heroes." "teaching her first-ever course" = you hired...poorly
The unidentified Cypress College educator was apparently triggered Wednesday during 19-year-old business major Braden Ellis’s Zoom presentation on cancel culture in the US, in which he noted how even animated kids TV shows such as "Paw Patrol" have come under fire from unhinged cop-haters, Fox News reported.
"A lot of coppers have committed an atrocious crime and have gotten away with it and have never been convicted of any of it," she declared during the verbal communications class, which was posted online and quickly went viral.
"We have bad people, and the people that do bad things should be brought to justice," the student calmly responded. "I agree with that."
"So what is your bottom line point?" the teacher demanded.
Ellis answered: "I think they are heroes, in a sense, because they come to your need and help you."
When Ellis asked the professor if she would call the police if she were in trouble, she insisted she would not.
"I don’t trust them. My life is in more danger in their presence," she said, ending the discussion before she could be queried further.

Perhaps we need a list, like DO-NOT-CALL, where you sign up and once on the list, police basically ignore any pleas for help.

I don't know about you guys but if I'm that student and I heard that from this 'professor', I'm thinkin' of kicking the snot outta her right then & there to see if she's good for her word.
Usually our "Social Justice geared up Media" would be screaming White Racist attempted to murder a School Bus driver.
It only took a little digging to see why the Liberal double standard for applying words and titles was at play.
The individual is described as an adult male, dark complexion, approximately 5'7" tall, weighing 155 lbs., with a thin build. He was last seen wearing a light colored jacket, a green baseball cap, blue jeans and sneakers.
Authorities are now looking for the suspect who was driving a 2020 gray Subaru with the license plate number JKE-6183.
[FOX9] Community activists delivered stacks of boxes Friday to the Minneapolis city clerk's office to file a petition to amend the city charter in order to replace the Minneapolis Police Department with a public safety department.
Following the death of George Floyd, there's been a community push to defund or disband the Minneapolis Police Department.
Activists say the petition is a step toward changing public safety and policing in the city.
The 30 boxes now standing in the city clerk's office mark the first step of the process for a petition to amend the city charter. According to the clerk, Yes 4 Minneapolis wants to put the amendment on the ballot at the general election on Nov. 2.
The city clerk received the petition on behalf of the Charter Commission and will formally present the petition at the next commission meeting on Wednesday.
After presenting, the clerk has 10 days to validate the petition has been signed by enough registered voters. The clerk's office says 11,906 signatures are needed, Yes 4 Minneapolis says they collected more than 20,000.
The group would have 10 days to "cure" the petition if the clerk determines they need additional signatures. If not, the petition moves to the City Council to be considered.
City council members have put forth their own public safety amendment to the Charter Commission. According to Yes 4 Minneapolis' website, the group is working with the city council and the "proposals are not in conflict."

A number of prog cities are finding they don't even need petitions to replace their police - the police are leaving as fast as they can anyway.
I wonder if they have considered what they will replace the police with? Or what will develop on its own to fill the niche, as nature abhors a vacuum, and also that the strongest survive.
[NewHumanitarian] Central African Republic’s army and its allies have driven back a rebel group that seized towns around the country amid contested elections in December, but rights groups and residents told The New Humanitarian they committed a string of abuses in the process.
“I cannot file a complaint – against whom would I file it?” said a 32-year-old truck driver who was shot at in December from a checkpoint allegedly controlled by Russian mercenaries and Central African soldiers outside the northeastern town of Grimari.
Four people in the vehicle – including an aid worker – were killed in the incident, which happened as the group of civilians was fleeing Bambari, 80 kilometres to the east.
Hundreds of thousands of people were displaced when the rebel Coalition of Patriots for Change (CPC)
...a coalition of major rebel groups in the Central African Republic created in 2020 to disrupt the 2020–21 Central African general election...
swept through the countryside late last year and launched attacks on the capital, Bangui, to force the resignation of President Faustin-Archange Touadéra.
...a Social Democrat and former mathematics professor...
Of nearly 200 rights violations documented by the UN's peacekeeping mission between early October and late December, more than 85 percent were attributed to rebel groups, including the CPC, which is led by former president François Bozizé.
The CPC, as far as I can tell, is made up as much by Moslem groups that turned against the Seleke when they split off from it, such as the Union for Peace in the Central African Republic and the Popular Front for the Rebirth of Central African Republic as from non-Muslim groups. (Christian or Socialist/Communist, presumably). Oddly, Mr, Bozize is identified as Christian.
At a makeshift displacement camp The New Humanitarian visited in February, residents spoke of sexual violence, enforced disappearances, and property theft after their villages were attacked by CPC rebels, who also enforced a weeks-long blockade on Bangui.
But UN officials, rights groups, and local residents have also accused CAR’s army – as well as the Russian mercenaries fighting alongside them – of serious human rights abuses during ongoing efforts to recapture towns.
Allegations against the army – known as FACA, and under a UN arms embargo since 2013 – include extrajudicial executions of individuals suspected of belonging to the CPC; targeting of individuals associated with Bozizé’s political party, the KNK; and heavy-handed enforcement of a state of emergency introduced in January.
Reports received by the UN working group on mercenaries have, meanwhile, accused Russian private military contractors of mass summary executions, forced displacement of civilians, torture during interrogations, and indiscriminate targeting of civilian facilities.
Aid workers have also been targeted by the mercenaries, according to an internal UN report seen by The New Humanitarian. The report accuses “Russian elements” of breaking into an international NGO base in the northern town of Bossangoa. Relief items, furniture, and other personal belongings were stolen in the incident in March.
“[CAR] is a country that has known heavy fighting for almost 20 years,” Abdoulaye Diarra, Central Africa researcher for Amnesty International, told The New Humanitarian. “What changed with this current crisis is the implication of new actors standing alongside the army.” More at the link
[Just The News] The Golden Horseshoe is a weekly designation from Just the News intended to highlight egregious examples of wasteful taxpayer spending by the government. The award is named for the horseshoe-shaped toilet seats for military airplanes that cost the Pentagon a whopping $640 each back in the 1980s.
This week, our award is going to the United States Small Business Administration and Treasury Department for awarding at least $200 million, but as much as $420 million, to Chinese Communist Party-linked businesses by way of the Paycheck Protection Program, intended to assist U.S. small businesses that were devastated by the coronavirus pandemic, widely believed to have originated in China.
A report from the Horizon Advisory strategic consulting group illustrates how negligible congressional oversight allowed at least 125 Chinese firms to "take advantage of the international disaster" by benefitting "directly from U.S. investment and relief measures."

Cause they have to follow the contracting laws and regulation that Congress implements. You just can't go to a local Walmart or Home Depot and drop Uncle Sugar's money even if its cheaper. Congress gets to sound high and mighty, beating their chests about such waste, but they write it into the law.

That's peanuts compared to what the Democrat controlled states managed to "lose" in their frenzy to give away money.
California admits up to $31B in unemployment may have gone to fraudsters and foreign criminal rings "Of the $114 billion in unemployment paid by California since March, approximately 10% has been confirmed as fraudulent.

Vineland Police Chief Rudolph Beu was found guilty of failure to perform duties, insubordination, conduct unbecoming a public employee and neglect of duty during last week’s administrative disciplinary hearing, The Press of Atlantic City reported.
The city wanted to suspend Beu for 180 days without pay — but retired Judge Raymond A. Batten instead recommended only the demotion.
"Suspension now for any period of time would achieve neither meaningful nor curative purposes," Batten wrote in his April 23 ruling.
Beu had already been suspended — with pay — from his $154,734-a-year job since Feb. 26, 2020, the report said.
He was facing a slew of allegations, including that he told a cop on the force he would promote him if the officer let Beu sleep with his wife or pre-teen daughter in 2017.
Beu was also accused of nepotism by inappropriately promoting his daughter, who is on the force, and not recusing himself in the discipline of his son-in-law, who is also a Vineland officer.
The chief allegedly ignored 19 requests from city officials and lawyers to act on Internal Affairs file requests, according to the article.
"An auspicious record," Batten reportedly wrote. "Demotion of Chief Beu to Deputy Chief is both well-measured and warranted."
Beu filed a lawsuit against Vineland last year, alleging defamation, civil conspiracy and rights violations, the newspaper said.

Demotion? How about termination and loss of pension?
[JPost] - Home Front Command female soldiers who came as part of the rescuing team to the disaster at Mount Meron were attacked by people who attended the event, the IDF Spokesperson Unit said on Saturday night.
The female soldiers, who came to rescue and evacuate those who were wounded, were attacked verbally and physically. The ultra-orthodox been never pass a chance to demonstrate that they hold the rest of Israel in contempt.

we could focus on the ultra orthodox vs IDF females
or we could focus on the thousands of anti semitic tweets from the arab world
but there were some contrary things
secular Jews in Israel lined up to donate blood for victims and Israeli arabs in the north donated food and blankets
so there was that also

#2 This particular sect (there are dozens) self define as anti-Zionists, Dron. In particular, no military service (others dodge, rather than openly refuse to serve). According to them, the only occupation for a Jew is study of holy writings - but not all of them, only the ones approved by the the head Rabbi (a hereditary position in every sect). Actually, the "study" is more like rote-memorization - sounds familiar? And, of course, since their studies are so important - Holocaust happened because not all Jews were like them - they expect the rest of Israelis to fund them. And since nobody can build a ruling coalition without ultra-orthodox parties, they get it.
Did I miss something? Ah, their proportion in the population doubles every generation (12 kids per) - so the financial burden is becoming significant.

Thanks, Grom. I see, much like our own saffron clad biographers of the hindoo menagerie. We need them to make governments too.
According to them, the only occupation for a Jew is study of holy writings
Gawd, how much holy writings can one study? There's only so much truth to chase before you have to cook up some fantastic inanities. That's the problem with too much religion.
#6
there are quite a few different groups that make up the ultra orthodox - only a few are anti zionist
some even allow men to serve in National Service or even in the IDF; not many though, the total number of ultra orthodox in the country exceeds 1M and the total in National Service is about 4k (including IDF). This, though a small percetage is several times more than 10 years ago. The IDF has encouraged ultra orthodox to consider alternative national service in many cases where the men do poorly in language, math and science tests.

[Jpost] "We need to close the holy site and limit the number of people."
Top police officers and health officials warned of a disaster at Mount Meron and recommended closing the holy Jewish site at a meeting that was held two weeks before the holiday of Lag Ba’omer.
On Thursday night, 45 people were killed in a deadly stampede at the site. The Justice Ministry has taken over the investigation although there were calls over the weekend to establish an independent state commission of inquiry.
The meeting and its contents were revealed Saturday night by Kan News which published a protocol of a meeting that commander of the Northern Police District Shimon Lavi held with his senior command as well as top officials from the Health, Transportation and Interior ministries.
At the meeting, Lavi said that the police are first and foremost concerned with the public’s safety. "The safety and security of the public and controlling the crowd and the pressure is our first priority," he said at the opening of the meeting.
He then went around the table and heard from the other officers. Commander of the Ha’amakim District said: "If the grave is open and all of Israel comes there will be too many people. We should close the gravesite" of 2nd century Rabbi Shimon Bar Yochai which is located there.
Commander of operations in the Northern District concurred: "We need to close the grave and limit the number of people."
The deputy head of traffic police in the North agreed: "We need to close the grave."

Got my first Moderna shot on Friday. Of course, I had to do it with style - I walked in with a Baltimore Ravens t-shirt on. I think 50% of the people in that room made some sort of comment ('Ravens? The Ravens? What the hell'? etc.).
I'm getting my second shot three Fridays from now; my t-shirt of choice this time will be (naturally) my Corona Extra t-shirt.
