[TRENDINGVIEWS.CO] A NYPD detective was attacked while he was just standing there doing his job, minding his own business, when out of nowhere a man came over and hit him on the head with a stick.
The person stood there looking confused for a second, the detective fell over, and then cops pursued the suspect on foot.
It's unclear what happened after the video stopped recording, but a later news report said the suspect was arrested.
CBS Local reported, "It happened just before noon while the detective was investigating a burglary on Prince Street in Flushing, Queens. Police arrested 25-year-old Akeele Morgan. He faces multiple charges, including assault on a police officer."

The laws is clear... according to NY Penal Code.
The judge cannot slap his wrist.
NY Penal Law Section 120.11 - Aggravated assault upon a police officer or a peace officer
A person is guilty of aggravated assault upon a police officer or a peace officer when, with intent to cause serious physical injury to a person whom he knows or reasonably should know to be a police officer or a peace officer engaged in the course of performing his official duties, he causes such injury by means of a deadly weapon or dangerous instrument.
Aggravated assault upon a police officer or a peace officer is a Class B
or a Class C felony for just assault.
The idiot is looking at a possible sentence of 20 years in prison and a big file.
Because assault on a peace officer is also classified as a violent felony, the judge is required to impose at least a minimum sentence of 3+ years in prison. Even if the idiot has no prior convictions.

The judge cannot slap his wrist. Before that is even possible, a judge would have to GET the case presented in court. Whether of not that might happen is NOT up to the judge, as we are seeing nightly in Portland, OR.
[ToloNews] A number of residents in Takhar, a province in northern Afghanistan, have taken up arms to fight alongside the Afghan cops against the Taliban ...the Pashtun equivalent of men... These local fighters are operating under the leadership of Dr. Gulistan, the former head of the National Directorate of Security ...the Afghan national intel agency... (NDS) in Takhar.
Meanwhile, ...back at the Hubba Hubba Club, Nunzio wondered: Where the hell was Chumbaloni? And where was his $600?... the political office of Ahmad Massoud, the son of Ahmad Shah Massoud, the National Hero of Afghanistan, has said that people in Takhar, Baghlan, Kunduz and Samangan provinces are ready to start the second resistance against the Taliban under his leadership.
Those who have taken up arms in Takhar have said that they are ready to fight under Massoud’s leadership.
"We have to show to these aliens (Taliban) that this is the center of resistance, this area has an owner and brave youthq," said Dr. Gulistan.
Some of the gunnies said that they were attacked by the Taliban on Monday after they gathered in the area to talk about the second resistance against the Taliban.
"The Massoud Foundation and the political office of Ahmad Massoud are seeking a major political movement in Afghanistan to be ready for a possible boycott of the peace negotiation process by the Taliban or if they refuse to talk to the government," said Rahmatullah Bezhanpor, member of Jamaat-e-Islami ...The Islamic Society, founded in 1941 in Lahore by Maulana Sayyid Abul Ala Maududi, aka The Great Apostosizer. The Jamaat opposed the independence of Bangladesh but has operated an independent branch there since 1975. It maintains close ties with international Mohammedan groups such as the Moslem Brotherhood. the Taliban, and al-Qaeda. The Jamaat's objectives are the establishment of a pure Islamic state, governed by Sharia law. It is distinguished by its xenophobia, and its opposition to Westernization, capitalism, socialism, secularism, and liberalist social mores... party (Atta Mohammad Noor faction).
Meanwhile, ...back at the Hubba Hubba Club, Nunzio wondered: Where the hell was Chumbaloni? And where was his $600?... Ahmad Zia Saraj, the head of the National Directorate of Security (NDS) said that discussions are underway with all the gangs that were created in cooperation with the Afghan security institutions.
"We are in talks with them, our discussions will start with them soon...anyone within the structure of the government itself. As you know, we have some groups known as public uprising forces who operate within the framework of the government and based on the needs that we have in some areas they cooperate with us," said Saraj.
Nevertheless, Amrullah Saleh, the First Vice President of Afghanistan, said that people all over the country are ready to defend the country against any hostile move.
"The national spirit has been on the rise compared to the past when there was discussion about the withdrawal of US forces. Mr. President, there is no province where the people do not consult us and say that they are ready to defend what we call 'the gains,'" said Saleh.
Previously, gunnies loyal to former Jihadi leader Mohammad Ismail Khan in Herat ...a venerable old Persian-speaking city in western Afghanistan, populated mostly by Tadjiks, which is why it's not as blood-soaked as areas controlled by Pashtuns... , and Hizb-e-Islami supporters in Badakhshan and Baghlan provinces have also shown their military preparedness.Public uprising forces were also reported active in Maidan Wardak and Daikundi provinces.

Following the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan in 12/1979, a crucial meeting of nascent Islamist movements was held at Lahore in Fall 1990. It involved in secret session a conference of radical Islamists about which little was ever revealed. Its "stated goal and central resolution" was the creation of a "Great Islamic Republic" that would unite the Middle East by the year 2000. The elimination of the region's Jews and Christians was central to that goal. The meeting was hosted by the then powerful Jamaat-i-Islami (JI), an Islamist organization which traced its roots to British India and as noted, was founded by Maulana Abdul Ala Maududi (1905-1979). To this day the JI has been committed to jihad, and no peace in Afghanistan can be expected as long as it maintains its powerful presence along the Afghan- Pak frontier and throughout Pushtun-dominated Afgghanistan.

Its "stated goal and central resolution" was the creation of a "Great Islamic Republic" that would unite the Middle East by the year 2000. The elimination of the region's Jews and Christians was central to that goal.
So that’s the start of very connected lone wolves we keep seeing — a jihadi from one group financed by another and supported or friends’n’relations with those in even more groups.
They are succeeding in driving the Christians out of the Ummah, but the Jews of Israel are more secure now than they have ever been, despite the efforts of the Harris-Biden administration. And the Middle East is as divided as ever, if not more so.
I’ve reluctantly concluded that no peace will come to Afghanistan so long as there are Pashtuns in it... and possibly not afterward, either.
[KhaamaPress] Local officials in Nangarhar The unfortunate Afghan province located adjacent to Mohmand, Kurram, and Khyber Agencies. The capital is Jalalabad. The province was the fief of Younus Khalis after the Soviets departed and one of his sons is the current provincial Taliban commander. Nangarhar is Haqqani country.. province said Tafsir Khan, a former Taliban ...Arabic for students... commander was killed in unidentified button men attack.
Zia ul Haq ...the creepy-looking former dictator of Pakistain. Zia was an Islamic nutball who imposed his nutballery on the rest of the country with the enthusiastic assistance of the nation's religious parties, which are populated by other nutballs. He was appointed Chief of Army Staff in 1976 by Prime Minister Zulfikar Ali Bhutto, whom he hanged when he seized power. His time in office was a period of repression, with hundreds of thousands of political rivals, minorities, and journalists executed or tortured, including senior general officers convicted in coup-d'état plots, who would normally be above the law. As part of his alliance with the religious parties, his government helped run the war against the Soviets in Afghanistan, providing safe havens, American equipiment, Saudi money, and Pak handlers to selected mujaheddin. Zia died along with several of his top generals and admirals and the then United States Ambassador to Pakistain Arnold Lewis Raphel when he was assassinated in a suspicious air crash near Bahawalpur in 1988... Amarkhel, governor of Nangarhar said the incident occurred in the Lalpur district of the province on Monday midnight.
According to Amarkhel, Khan’s five family members including himself and his brother were killed in the incident.
The identity of the attackers on the commander’s house is still unknown.
The Taliban have not yet commented on the incident.
Meanwhile, ...back at the wrecked scow, a single surviver held tightly to the smashed prow... in a released statement on Tuesday military’s 207th Zafar Corps said at least 22 Taliban were killed and maimed in Herat ...a venerable old Persian-speaking city in western Afghanistan, populated mostly by Tadjiks, which is why it's not as blood-soaked as areas controlled by Pashtuns... province.
According to the statement, Afghan national defense and security forces backed by air support clashed with Talibs in the "Bazar Kohna" area of Pashtun Zarghun district in Herat province.
207th Zafar Corps stated that nine Talibs were killed and 13 others were maimed during the skirmishes and Afghan Air Force raids.
The clearance operation in the region and the district continues until Taliban targets are completely eliminated, the statement read.
In another security incident, an 11-member of Taliban group were killed and maimed in Daimirdad of Maidan Wardak province, while organizing and planning their offensives.
Reports indicate the group was badly hit in a rocket shell explosion as they were planning their attacks inside a Madrassa in the region.
[ToloNews] Three security forces members were killed and another was maimed in a Taliban ...Arabic for students... attack in Deh Rawood district of Uruzgan province, Mohammad Omar Sherzad, provincial governor said, adding that "another soldier is missing."
[KhaamaPress] National Directorate Chief, Ahmad Zia Saraj said Afghan national defense and security forces killed Mawlawi Ahmad Kandahari in operation in Kandahar.
Saraj said, that Ahmad Kandahari was the second most prominent figure in the Taliban ...Arabic for students... group following Mullah Akhtar Mansour, Kandahari was reportedly assigned as the group’s military chief in Kandahar.
Saraj said that the Taliban have provided a platform for other terrorist groups to operate in Afghanistan and that the Taliban uses them by any means to attack the Afghan forces.
He also explained that 60 percent of ISIS affiliates in Afghanistan are Paks.
The NDS chief stressed that 407 detained ISIS members belong to 14 different countries, most of them captured on the frontlines.
ISIS in Afghanistan travel to Iran ...a theocratic Shiite state divided among the Medes, the Persians, and the (Arab) Elamites. Formerly a fairly civilized nation ruled by a Shah, it became a victim of Islamic revolution in 1979. The nation is today noted for spontaneously taking over other countries' embassies, maintaining whorehouses run by clergymen, involvement in international drug trafficking, and financing sock puppet militias to extend the regime's influence. The word Iran is a cognate form of Aryan. The abbreviation IRGC is the same idea as Stürmabteilung (or SA). The term Supreme Guide is a the modern version form of either Duce or Führer or maybe both. They hate JewsZionists Jews. Their economy is based on the production of oil and vitriol... and Pakistain through The Sick Man of Europe Turkey ...the occupiers of Greek Asia Minor... and then reaches the Afghan premises.
In regards to ISIS’s leader Aslam Farooqi, Saraj added "whenever Pakistain hands over Taliban prisoners to us, we will hand over Farooqi to Pakistain".
Moreover, at least 186 bad boys, including a Taliban commander responsible for planning suicide kabooms were killed and 31 others were maimed during the government offensives in Shah-Wali Kot, Maiwand, Panjwai, and Zherai districts of southern Kandahar province over the past week.
Bahir Ahmadi, front man for Kandahar governor told Khaama press that among the killed forces of Evil are the Taliban criminal mastermind and key commander Mullah Mohammad Rahim known as Ahmad, and five other leaders like Sanullah, Qari Hussain, Matiullah, Tor Naqib, and Safiullah.
During the operations, ANDSF also discovered and defused 556 various types of IEDs, and Taliban threats near Delhi dam in Kandahar were also rebuffed.
This comes as an employee of a demining organization was targeted in an unidentified button men attack in Kandahar.
According to security officials, Safiullah known as Kochai, an employee of a private demining organization was murdered by the Taliban in the PD8 Panjwai district of Kandahar province.
Reports indicate the incident happened on Monday afternoon at around 3:00 pm local time.

[AlAhram] The US administration of President Joe The Big Guy Biden ...46th president of the U.S. We get to suffer the consequences... is mounting a renewed push to end the conflict, warning that the suffering will only end when a political solution is found
Yemen ...an area of the Arabian Peninsula sometimes mistaken for a country. It is populated by more antagonistic tribes and factions than you can keep track of... government forces have thwarted a 'massive' Iran's Houthi sock puppets ...a Zaidi Shia insurgent group operating in Yemen. They have also been referred to as the Believing Youth. Hussein Badreddin al-Houthi is said to be the spiritual leader of the group and most of the military leaders are his relatives. The legitimate Yemeni government has accused the them of having ties to the Iranian government. Honest they did. The group has managed to gain control over all of Saada Governorate and parts of Amran, Al Jawf and Hajjah Governorates. Its slogan is God is Great, Death to America™, Death to Israel, a curse on the Jews They like shooting off... ummm... missiles that they would have us believe they make at home in their basements. On the plus side, they did murder Ali Abdullah Saleh, which was the only way the country was ever going to be rid of him... attack west of Marib city and reinforced their positions as they defend their last northern stronghold, two military commanders and an official said Tuesday.
But they said the Iran-backed turbans had advanced in four areas of the Mashjah front, another key battlefield in their battle to seize the oil-rich region from Saudi-led coalition-backed government forces.
Fierce fighting on multiple frontlines around the strategic city has left at least 67 dead over the past 24 hours, including some 27 loyalist personnel, the three sources said.
According to one of the commanders taking part in the defence of Marib, the government forces 'succeeded in repelling a massive attack' at al-Tala'a al-Hamra, about 18 kilometres (11 miles) west of the city.
'Losing it would enable (the rebels) to advance towards hills and sites close to Marib, and the road would be clear towards the western entrance to the city,' the source added.
The second commander confirmed the details. al-Tala'a al-Hamra is located near the main highway connecting Marib with the rebel-controlled capital Sanaa.
On Sunday, military sources told AFP that the rebels had taken full control of the Kassara battlefield to the northwest, putting them within six kilometres (four miles) of the city centre, as well as progressing on western frontlines despite Saudi-led coalition Arclight airstrike ...KABOOM!... s.
The Yemeni government's Information Minister Muammar al-Eryani disputed the version related by the loyalist officials on the ground, and denied that the Houthis had taken Kassara.
Multiple government sources have told AFP that the next two weeks will decide the fate of the offensive which erupted in early February, saying that some 2,000 of their soldiers have been killed so far, along with thousands more Houthi fighters.
The rebels rarely disclose their own losses.
The three sources said that government forces are building defences on the outskirts of Marib, digging trenches and piling up earth mounds in anticipation of any military breakthrough by the rebels.
In a series of meetings with representatives of Yemeni civil society, women, political parties and journalists, the UN envoy to Yemen, Martin Griffiths, said the attack on Marib had to stop.
In the talks in Egypt which concluded Monday he warned of the dire humanitarian consequences of the offensive, and said it jeopardised the grinding of the peace processor.
The government estimates that two million displaced people have made their way to Marib, seeking safety from a devastating war now in its seventh year.
[ENGLISH.AAWSAT] The Saudi navy has intercepted and destroyed a remote-controlled explosive- laden boat off the Red Sea port of Yanbu on Tuesday.
Defense Ministry front man Brigadier General Turki al-Malki said the vessel was destroyed shortly after 6:40 am on Tuesday.
It was destroyed according to the rules of engagement, he added, stressing that investigations were ongoing with the concerned authorities to uncover the perpetrators.
He said the Defense Ministry was taking strict measures against any hostile attempts to target the Kingdom’s economic installations.
The Houthis have in the past used bomb-laden drones and explosive-packed boats in attacks targeting the kingdom. However, Caliphornia hasn't yet slid into the ocean, no matter how hard it's tried... the rebels did not immediately claim any assaults on Tuesday and did not respond to a request for comment.

[ENGLISH.AAWSAT] A US military ship fired warning shots after three vessels from Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps Navy (IRGCN) came close to it and another American patrol boat in the Gulf, the United States military said on Tuesday.
Such incidents have occurred occasionally over the past five years, though there has been a relative lull over the past year.
While officials said it was too early to discern the exact motivation of the Iranian forces, they have said that generally in the past such incidents are carried out by local commanders rather than directed by senior Iranian leaders.
"The US crews issued multiple warnings via bridge-to-bridge radio and loud-hailer devices, but the IRGCN vessels continued their close range maneuvers," the military statement said.
"The crew of Firebolt then fired warning shots, and the IRGCN vessels moved away to a safe distance from the US vessels," the statement added, using the name for the US Navy patrol ship.
The closest the Iranian fast inshore attack craft came to the American ships was 68 yards (204 feet) during the incident, which took place on Monday in international water in the northern Gulf.
The incident comes as world powers and Iran ...a theocratic Shiite state divided among the Medes, the Persians, and the (Arab) Elamites.

Earlier on Tuesday, the head of US forces in the Middle East said that the United States military was careful not to let incidents with the IRGCN turn into a cycle provocation, though he did not specifically talk about Monday's interaction.
"The activities we typically see from the IRGC Navy are not necessarily activities that are directed by the Supreme Leader or from the Iranian state, rather irresponsible actions by local commanders on the scene," said Marine General Kenneth McKenzie, head of US Central Command.

The communist student body president of Virginia Commonwealth University (@VCU) is revealed to be behind an account that posted racist screeds & advocated for murderous violence. Taylor Marie Maloney's extremism actually earned them praise from @ACLUVA: https://t.co/48GuqfVSw3
[THEPOSTMILLENNIAL] A far-left bad boy using an online moniker to advocate for assassinations of law enforcement has been revealed to be the student body president of Virginia Commonwealth University.
20-year-old Taylor Marie Maloney, from Charleston, SC, was championed earlier this month by the ACLU of Virginia for being the "first openly transgender and non-binary person" elected to the position. But social media posts written by the communist activist have since surfaced showing their advocacy for killing cops, rioting, looting, vandalism and hatred of white people.

Maloney also indicated they'll engage in sex work if no job prospects arise by June.

"making strides for diversity in leadership" "creating lasting change in their community"
Genghis Khan, Caligula and Hitler did those things too. Some "strides", "diversity" and "change"s are better off NOT happening.
[OneIndia] The National Investigation Agency has filed a chargesheet against 8 holy warriors of the Khalistan Liberation Force
...Khalistan is the idea of an independent Sikh homeland in the Indian Punjab. The local troublemakers are financed by the Sikh diaspora — who love the idea of the folks they left behind murdering their neighbours before dying romantically for a hopeless idea — with training and additional funding from Pakistan’s ISI as yet another arrow in their quiver aimed at the Indian throat. The Khalistan Liberation Force, like Antifa, is the umbrella for a bunch of Sikh groups that have engaged in “armed struggle” against India since the 1980s...
for the killing of Comrade Balwinder Singh Sandhu, a Shaurya Chakra Awardee at Tarn Taran, Punjab.
Shaurya Chakra awardee Comrade Balwinder Singh Sandhu was rubbed out by two faceless myrmidons in the early hours of October 10 2020 at the residence-cum-school run by him in Bhikiwind, District TarnTaran, Punjab. The assailants then escaped on a bike, following which a case was registered by the Punjab 1.) Little Orphan Annie's bodyguard
2.) A province of Pakistain ruled by one of the Sharif brothers
3.) A province of India. It is majority (60 percent) Sikh and Hindoo (37 percent), which means it has relatively few Moslem riots.... police.
Investigation has revealed that the execution was undertaken with an intention of striking terror in the minds of the people and especially those opposed to Khalistan ideology. The transnational conspiracy in the instant case was hatched by Pakistain based self styled chief of the KLF, Lakbhir Singh Rode.
Further a well oiled terrorist-narcotics-criminal nexus worked together and ensured that arms were smuggled into India from Pakistain through the International Border. It was also found that narcotics had been smuggled in as well and the proceeds of the same were used to execute the conspiracy.
The foreign based KLF leadership had recruited, financed and armed a local gangster Sukhmeet Pak and tasked him to execute the killings through his associates. The NIA said that after the killing of Harmeet Singh alias Happy alias PHD, Sukh Bikhariwal was ordered by Rode to kill Comrade Singh. The reconnaissance of the target was carried out by Inderjeet Singh and sharp-shooters Gurjit Singh and Sukhdeep Singh.
[ENGLISH.AAWSAT] The Sick Man of Europe Turkey ...the only place on the face of the earth that misses the Ottoman Empire... ’s Defense Ministry announced the death of one soldier and the injury of six others during the two military offensives launched on Friday against the Kurdistan Workers’ Party (PKK) targets in northern Iraq.
Ottoman Turkish forces attacked the PKK in Avasin-Basyan and Metina areas near Duhok’s border with Turkey, in two operations dubbed "Claw-Lightning" and "Claw-Thunderbolt."
Defense Minister Hulusi Akar said Ottoman Turkish forces neutralized 31 PKK elements in the new ground-and-air offensives.
He carried out an inspection visit to the 3rd Infantry Division Command in Yuksekova district of Turkey’s southeastern Hakkari province, accompanied by Ottoman Turkish Armed Forces (TSK) commanders.
"Our fight is against all terrorists," Akar stressed, noting that Turkey will continue launching "anti-terror operations" until the last terrorist is neutralized.
"So far, a total of 1,132 terror targets have been hit with our land fire support vehicles. Our Air Force also achieved great success as a whole, hitting 120 targets in total."
The armed forces are determined to protect 84 million Ottoman Turkish citizens from the threats posed by all terrorist organizations, Akar noted.
He highlighted PKK’s presence in northern Iraq, stressing that its elements continue to create hideouts in anticipation of an attack by the Ottoman Turkish armed forces.

[IsraelTimes] IDF says projectiles fell inside Strip, triggering alarms in Kissufim region; dozens of rockets were fired into Israel over weekend, prompting warnings of harsh response.
Given that they punched themselves in the face again, again missing Israel completely, possibly Israel won’t retaliate just yet.
Paleostinian hard boyz in the Gazoo ...Hellhole adjunct to Israel and Egypt's Sinai Peninsula, inhabited by Gazooks. The place was acquired in the wake of the 1967 War and then presented to Paleostinian control in 2006 by Ariel Sharon, who had entered his dotage. It is currently ruled with an iron fist by Hamaswith about the living conditions you'd expect. It periodically attacks the Hated Zionist Entity whenever Iran needs a ruckus created or the hard boyz get bored, getting thumped by the IDF in return. The ruling turbans then wave the bloody shirt and holler loudly about oppression and disproportionate response... Strip fired two rockets toward Israel after midnight Tuesday, with both projectiles falling inside the coastal enclave, the IDF said.
There were no reports of injuries or damage.
The launches triggered rocket warning sirens in Israeli communities near Kissufim and came after a one-day lull in attacks.
The latest violence began late Friday night, when hard boyz in the Strip launched at least 36 rockets and mortar shells at southern Israel, causing light damage in a number of Israeli communities near the border. The attacks resumed on Saturday night, when more than four rockets were fired toward Israel, some of them failing to clear the border and landing inside Gaza, and then again late Sunday night, when five more projectiles were fired from the Strip at southern Israel.
The security cabinet on Monday signed off on a major military response if hard boyz in the Gaza Strip continue to fire rockets into Israel, after dozens of projectiles were launched from the enclave over the past three days.
The IDF responded to the Friday night attacks with strikes on Hamas, always the voice of sweet reason, infrastructure, but has refrained since then from retaliating violent mostly peacefully. Instead, on Monday morning, the military announced it was closing the Gaza fishing zone until further notice, cutting off a major source of income for the beleaguered enclave.
The terror groups that conducted the launches — the Popular Front for the Liberation of Paleostine and Fatah — said in statements that they were a response to ongoing unrest in Jerusalem, which has seen violence between Jews and Arabs, as well as festivities between Arab youths and Israeli police, in recent days.
The attacks and Hamas’s presumed approval of them have also been tied to internal Paleostinian competition, ahead of elections that were scheduled for next month — the first elections in some 15 years — but which the Paleostinian Authority has indicated it plans to postpone indefinitely.
