[An oddly unslanted article from the (Red)StarTribune] Attorneys for two former rookie Minneapolis police officers on Thursday rejected accusations that their clients aided and abetted the killing of George Floyd, casting blame instead on a senior officer who allegedly ignored his younger counterparts.
Early signs of a legal defense strategy began to emerge when former officers J Alexander Kueng, Thomas K. Lane and Tou Thao made their first court appearances in the Memorial Day killing of Floyd, a 46-year-old black man who died in police custody.

...It gets better: apparently Kueng and Lane had less than thirty days on the job.

I don't recall the details and it's been a few years, and it doesn't pop up easily in search, but I recall a rookie (?) policewoman who tried to stop her partner from abusing an arrestee and ended up being prosecuted herself and losing her job.
Now does seem like a good time to get this swept under the rug.

Perhaps a good starting point might be an examination of the Lolita Express flight manifests, tracking social networks and countries of origin. Just thinking out loud.

Still trying to cover up the mess around Epstein? Must be a lot of well-connected big wigs involved in Pedo*** Island, ranch and other environs. I'm thinking Ghislaine is laying low as she does not want to end up like Epstein.
Federal authorities should have a ton of evidence that they obtained from Little St. John's Island and other places. Where are the pilot(s) who ferried passengers to this island? Blackmail videos?

a dose-response relationship existed between frequency of exposure to HCQ and such reductions.
The thing to look for when establishment fakes clinical trials.
#9
the Oxford study on HCQ was for people already hospitalized
other studies have also found hcq isn't the right treatment for those people
hcq is, per the Yale study, the right treatment for outpatients, that is people who are positive and have mild symptoms - the point is to keep people from being hospitalized

New England J of Medicine has retracted its hcq study. The study used as a data source the same sketchy company that the lancet study used but no formal statement from the NE J of M is available yet.

Ingomar200 has some pretty good vids on tsunami with analysis of wave heights. Look at Goggle Earth at the seabed surrounding volcanic islands. Often they are surrounded by collapses littered with chunks of these islands. And it will happen again. These flank collapses are probably the greatest potential tsunami threat in terms of height and damage outside of an impact event.
[NOQReport via WhatFinger - yes, I go dumpster diving so you don't have to] Former Marine Corps Judge Advocate and State Department attorney John Dowd wasn’t happy with recent remarks by General Jim "Mad Dog" Mattis regarding President Trump’s handling of the riots. The former Secretary of Defense went public with his displeasure towards the President, echoing Democratic talking points while embracing the leftist mentality of supporting protesters and defying law enforcement.
Dowd sent a letter to Mattis. He apparently copied President Trump, who subsequently posted the blistering letter on Twitter (transcript below):
#1
Ouch. Wow. John Dowd bores in. I was a big supporter of Mattis in earlier times. Thought he would be good as Secretary of Defense. Disappointed that he has decided to attack POTUS and support the street thugs, rioters, looters and criminal element along with the rest of the corrupt Dem Party. Apparently, he supports the coup and planned insurrection to take down the President that has been relentless and ongoing.
#4
OK, Mattis was a bad choice by Trump right out the gate. He is a well respected warrior general. He never married, spent his whole life dedicated to the art of war. Meaning he was single focused in war, no life balance. He steps into the political world and know as much about running a nation as my pet dog does. He is way out of his swim lane and out of line. A great General, a terrible statesman.

I see the need for a peepee shortening, or two.
[ALMASDARNEWS] A senior North Korea ...hereditary Communist monarchy distinguished by its truculence and periodic acts of violence. Distinguishing features include Songun (Army First) policy, which involves feeding the army before anyone but the Dear Leadership, and Juche, which is Kim Jong Il's personal interpretation of Marxism-Leninism, which he told everybody was brilliant. In 1950 the industrialized North invaded agrarian South Korea. Twenty-one countries of the United Nations eventually contributed to the UN force opposing the invasion, with the United States providing around 90% of the military personnel. Seventy years later the economic results are in and it doesn't look good for Juche... n official expressed their country’s dissatisfaction with the dispatch of anti-Pyongyang leaflets across the border in South Korea, waving the possibility of canceling the inter-Korean military agreement.
The younger sister of North Korean leader Kim Yo jung, first vice chairman of the Central Committee of the Workers’ Party, issued a statement on Thursday, saying that North Korea warns of a full withdrawal from the Gaeseong Joint Industrial Complex after stopping the tours to Mount Kumgang, according to the newspaper "Rodong Shinmun" of the ruling Labor Party.
She stated that South Korea cannot say that it does not know what is included in the terms of the Panmunjom Declaration and the inter-Korean military agreement regarding the pledge to suspend all provocative actions on the military border, warning that South Korea should expect to face the worst crisis soon, if it permits.
These actions were carried out on the pretext of individual freedom and freedom of expression, while this year celebrates the twentieth anniversary of the June 15 inter-Korean declaration.
It called on the South to enact a law prohibiting the sending of anti-North Korean publications or campaigning to seize these publications.
In the statement, Kim referred to a civilian group of North Korean defectors, who on May 31 sent anti-North Korean leaflets across the border.
On May 31, the Fighters for a Free North Korea, a civilian organization made up of North Korean refugees stationed in South Korea, sent 500,000 publications, 50 brochures, 2,000 US dollars and 1,000 cross-border memory cards to North Korea.

Korean women tend to be dominating. Some Chinese women also. Japanese women are traditionally passive. Have done business with 2 South Korean women and one Chinese Mandarin woman. All were very interesting experiences.
#3
Some Korean women are domineering, but I think that is mostly those in a privileged position. The Samsung executive wives I knew in Germany told of being told to stand still and cry when the boys teased, instead of trying to fight back, because almost all the boys in South Korea get martial arts training. And they lost their own identity upon marriage, becoming known to all as X’s wife thereafter, attaining a new identity as First child’s mom once a child arrived. Only immediate family and childhood friends knew their names, my ladies being thrilled by the intimacy that I ignorantly demanded the first time I met the group.
Perhaps it was only because they were the wives of senior executives, but my ladies also dropped everything to cater to the needs of their husbands’ careers, relying on one another to babysit children when suddenly called upon to attend business dinners, for example.
The US jobless rate dropped to 13.3% in May from 14.7% in April, according to a Labor Department report on Friday
Jons also rose by 2.5 million jobs after a record plunge of 20.6 million in April
Though the unemployment rate for white Americans was 12.4 percent in May, it was 17.6 percent for Hispanics and 16.8 percent for African-Americans
Industries to see the sharpest increases in employment in May were in leisure and hospitality, construction, education and heath services, and retail trade
President Donald Trump immediately took credit for the rise in jobs just moments after the report was released
Economists had been predicting the report would reveal the unemployment rate had increased to a record 20% and about eight million jobs had been lost
The May job gain suggests that businesses have quickly been recalling workers as states have reopened their economies following weeks long lockdowns

Well, I know from personal experience that some people own guns but don't get that they won't for much longer if they keep voting democrat. Hopefully they are a small minority of that two million.

Yeah, do we really want libs closing the "All teh gunz!" gap with us?
And while a few may have been mugged by reality, the vast majority will fall back onside in short order.
This will probably be used to recast p*****ilia as reparations.
I put nothing past these beasts.

White is code for Western Civ. I want all these people to experience a personal world without all that Western Civ tech, science, and economics.

Don't know if this qualifies as "losing innocence" but the kids deserve to know these facts:
From the 2018 National Crime Victimization Survey, Census data, FBI Uniform Crime Reports, and other sources (most of the data is from 2018.)
In 2016, 466 whites were killed by police; 233 blacks were killed by police.
One out of 8,511 blacks is arrested for murder; one in 58,582 whites is arrested for murder. Blacks are approximately 6.8 times more likely than whites to be arrested for murder.
One out of 2,800,438 blacks is arrested for killing a cop; one of 7,674,278 whites is arrested for killing a cop. Blacks are 2.74 times more likely than whites to be arrested for killing a cop.
In 2016, 66 cops were killed in the line of duty; 32 whites and 15 blacks were identified as the killers. More than twice as many blacks (533) murdered whites in 2016 than whites (243) murdered blacks.
Black males are 6 percent of the U.S. population. Black males are responsible for 42 percent of cop killings in the last decade. In 2015, a cop was 18.5 times more likely to be killed by a black male than an unarmed black male was likely to be killed by a cop.
In 2016, 222 black males were killed by police. 16 were unarmed. 445 white males were killed by police. 20 were unarmed.

Re #4:
Black crime stats are much worse in reality because the FBI (purposely) combines Hispanic and White crime stats to hide just how awful is Black criminality.
A better source of info is city crime stats where each race is broken out. The Color of Crime

A multi-volume chronology and reference guide set detailing three years of the Mexican Drug War between 2010 and 2012.
Rantburg.com and borderlandbeat.com correspondent and author Chris Covert presents his first non-fiction work detailing
the drug and gang related violence in Mexico.
Chris gives us Mexican press dispatches of drug and gang war violence
over three years, presented in a multi volume set intended to chronicle the death, violence and mayhem which has
dominated Mexico for six years.
Rantburg was assembled from recycled algorithms in the United States of America. No
trees were destroyed in the production of this weblog. We did hurt some, though. Sorry.
