[TheBlaze] Officers of the Hallandale Beach Police Department were so angered by their chief kneeling to show solidarity with protesters that every member of the SWAT team resigned from those duties.
The officers did not resign completely from the police force, and will stay on duty.
Those who resigned specifically cited City of Hallandale Beach Police Chief Sonia Quinones kneeling with protesters against racism, hatred, and intolerance as the reason for their startling act.

In small cities they usually are duel use cops. They have a main job like patrol, narcotics, crimes against children, etc. but are also part of the SWAT team. If SWAT is needed they get called out and due the job, then go back to what they were doing before.
Much easier and cheaper than a full time SWAT. This also makes it easier to resign from SWAT because of stupid shit and still do your other job.
[DELAWAREONLINE] A 42-year-old Camden man accused of taking an ax to the back of a neck of a police officer memorial in Dover early Friday morning has been arrested, Dover Police said.
They arrested him after finding evidence at the scene and watching video surveillance, according to police.
Kyle Bullock was arrested for vandalizing a police memorial in Dover.
Police said Kyle Bullock left his cell phone at the scene where they found an ax, a vandalized statue of an officer kneeling, and two urine-soaked Delaware state flags.
Shortly after 5:30 a.m. police discovered the damage to the memorial located on Martin Luther King Boulevard.
Police said Bullock came to the scene asking officers if they had seen his missing cell phone. They claim he lied and told officers he lost it while participating in a protest earlier that day.

He became a prisoner of war in Chad in 1987. While held prisoner, he and his fellow officers formed a group hoping to overthrow Qadaffy, so it's kind of hard to describe him as a Qadaffy holdover. He was released around 1990 in a deal with the United States government and spent nearly two decades in the United States, gaining US citizenship. In 1993, while living in the United States, he was convicted in absentia of crimes against the Jamahiriya and sentenced to death.

In 2014 he was commander of the Libyan Army when the General National Congress (GNC) refused to give up power in accordance with its term of office.

In a statement published by its spokesperson, Ahmed al-Mismari, the leadership indicated that after the successes of the Libyan Army in the battle to "liberate the capital, Tripoli ...a confusing city, one end of which is located in Lebanon and the other end of which is the capital of Libya. Its chief distinction is being mentioned in the Marine Hymn... , the Ottoman Turkish intervention came alongside the al-Wefaq government to turn the war against terrorism in Libya into an international war."
The statement continued: "In order to protect the civilian population and to avoid casualties, we left the cities and we will fight the enemy in the desert and open lands face to face."
The statement continued that the management of military operations will be better within the framework of a tight strategic plan, "that includes harnessing the capabilities of the Libyan armed forces, civil authorities and the people with its multiple tribes and elites."
The General Command declared, "The reconfiguration of the main military operations room for the Libyan Army and the assignment of competent officers who are able to interact with the battle and its variables and the confidence of the people in them."
The move by the LNA comes at a time when their forces are facing a well-armed enemy, who is heavily backed by the Ottoman Turkish military.

[ALMASDARNEWS] The Egyptian Air Force intercepted two Russian military aircraft that were en route to Libya this past weekend, Avia.Pro reported on Sunday.
"The Egyptian military for the second time in the last 48 hours intercepted a Russian military plane flying from the Khmeimim airbase to the Libyan national army airbase in Libya," the publication said, pointing out that "the reasons for the denial of the passage of Egyptian airspace by the Russian military side are still unknown, however, the last time, according to the audio recording of the radio interception, the ban on entering Egyptian airspace was associated with the lack of diplomatic permission."
Russia, which is arguably one of the largest exporters of weapons to Egypt, has also played an imperative role in the neighboring conflict in Libya, as they have backed the Libyan National Army and their leader, Field Marshal Khalifa Haftar ...Self-proclaimed Field Marshal, served in the Libyan army under Muammar Qadaffy, and took part in the coup that brought Qadaffy to power in 1969. He became a prisoner of war in Chad in 1987. While held prisoner, he and his fellow officers formed a group hoping to overthrow Qadaffy, so it's kind of hard to describe him as a Qadaffy holdover. He was released around 1990 in a deal with the United States government and spent nearly two decades in the United States, gaining US citizenship.

In 2014 he was commander of the Libyan Army when the General National Congress (GNC) refused to give up power in accordance with its term of office. Haftar launched a campaign against the GNC and its Islamic fundamentalist allies. His campaign allowed elections to take place to replace the GNC, but then developed into a civil war. Guess you can't win them all. Actually, he is, but slowly... However, death is not the end. There remains the litigation over the estate... the two interceptions are not likely due to the Russian military’s support to the Libyan National Army, as Egypt itself is also a major backer of Haftar.
"According to some reports, the Russian military aircraft received a warning about the inadmissibility of entering Egyptian airspace, after which it turned around and headed back to the Khmeimim air base, similar to what it was a few days earlier," Avia.Pro added.
Over the past few weeks, the Russian military has been conducting direct flights from the Khmeimim Airbase in western Syria to the LNA’s headquarters in the eastern Libyan city of Benghazi.
Some reports have even claimed that the Russian military has transported advanced military aircraft to Libya in order to assist the LNA in their battle against the Ottoman Turkish forces and Government of National Accord.

[PRESSTV] At least 20 soldiers and more than 40 civilians have been killed in two separate turban attacks in northeastern Nigeria.
The attacks took place in the Monguno and Nganzai areas in northeastern Borno State on Saturday.
Eyewitnesses said murderous Moslems armed with heavy weaponry, including rocket launchers, overran government forces in Monguno in the late morning hours, killing at least 20 soldiers and roaming the area for three hours. Hundreds of civilians were maimed in the crossfire.
The local cop shoppe and the United Nations ...an organization originally established to war on dictatorships which was promptly infiltrated by dictatorships and is now held in thrall to dictatorships... (UN)’s humanitarian hub in the area were set on fire in the attack.
The murderous Moslems distributed leaflets among the residents warning them not to cooperate with security forces and international aid workers.
Another group of murderous Moslems raided Nganzai also in the late morning hours. They arrived on cycle of violences and in pickup trucks and killed more than 40 residents.
It was not immediately clear what group or groups of murderous Moslems were responsible for the two attacks.
The new attacks came just days the Takfiri ...an adherent of takfir wal hijra, an offshoot of Salafism that regards everybody who doesn't agree with them as apostates who must be killed...

Benghazi is only a consulate, which is an appropriate downgrade for the staff. They’d have to find a different posting for the ambassador, though, so the other suggestions are still
in play.
[FoxNews] Atlanta police on Sunday were seeking a suspect who set a Wendy’s on fire amid unrest over the deadly police shooting of 27-year-old Rayshard Brooks on Friday night, as officials raced to prevent any further violence from erupting in their city.
The Saturday-night fire capped off a day of protests outside the restaurant where Brooks was killed, reigniting demonstrations that had largely simmered nearly three weeks after George Floyd, another black man, died while in the custody of a white Minneapolis police officer.
Police said they arrested at least 36 people during Saturday night’s protests. A photo from the Atlanta Police Department showed the arson suspect wearing all black, with the person’s face largely covered.
Crime Stoppers of Greater Atlanta was offering a reward of up to $10,000 for information leading to the arrest of the arson suspect.
[The RightScoop] A video has surfaced from the riot last night where a Wendy’s in Atlanta was torched and burned down. The presumably black protesters notice that it’s a white girl who actually started the fire:
We’ve seen this in other cities where protests have turned to riots – it’s the white liberals who start destroying things while peaceful black protesters try to stop them. Now, it’s not as simple as to say that ALL the rioters are white Antifa idiots, and ALL of the honest peaceful protesters are black. Some people are pushing that agenda-satisfying narrative fantasy. BUT, it is the case that SOME of it is true, and we can present the evidence that it is true.
#2
It seems anymore that the problem isn’t black people protesting, but whit anarchy liberals rioting and using blacks for cover. Time to treat all white protesters in Antigua gear as presumed insurrectionists, and treat accordingly
#3
The pulled the picture and found a lot of photo shopping.
Did you notice:
* the person hand changes colors with a straight up and down line divider.
* blow it up and look at the hair line. The adjusted "whited"clarity is not same as the surroundings.
* he/she is standing is near the right entrance seating area
* where he/she is standing the fire is already large and to the distant left in the rear area.
* a news copter showed the flames at their largest in the rear area / working area
* Wendy's dinning area setup has too many obstructions between the front window and the counter area to lob a fire bomb front to the back.
* His/her physical profile and footing would not allow a fire bomb toss side arm of 50 feet.
So why would she/he still be there having started the major fire?
Maybe waiting on a person inside actually doing the arson and stealing the cash register $$$$$$.

Alexander Graham Bell was also white (born in Scotland), so that's two inventors actually. And while I get the point being made, I'm quite happy to claim George Washington Carver, Garrett Morgan, C. J. Walker, and the others as fellow citizens. A quick glance at Wikipedia shows them to be accomplished, self-made people who overcame great obstacles to obtain wealth and success in business. What could be more American than that?

George Washington Carver was one of my heroes growing up as a little science nerd. To me, he wasn't so much a black guy, but somebody who invented some cool stuff. Race is pretty much the least interesting thing about a person.

[HindustanTimes] As many as 16 gunnies have been killed in Kashmir ...a disputed territory lying between India and Pakistain. After partition, the Paks grabbed half of it and call it Azad (Free) Kashmir. The remainder they refer to as "Indian Occupied Kashmir". They have fought four wars with India over it, the score currently 4-0 in New Delhi's favor.

Unidentified assailants also rubbed out a village council head and two civilians believed to be working for the security forces.

The police said the gunnies were given opportunity to surrender during a search operation before the firefight. They added instead the holed up gunnies fired and lobbed grenades on the joint search party and triggered the gunbattle. "On a specific input about the presence of gunnies in village Nipora Zadoora, Kulgam, a joint cordon and search operation was launched by [Jammu & Kashmir] Police, 19 RR [Rashtriya Rifles] and 18 Bn [battalion] CRPF [Central Reserve Police Force] in the village," the police said in a statement. "During the search operation, the gunnies were given opportunity to surrender, however instead they fired and lobbed grenades upon the joint search party, which was retaliated leading to an encounter in which the two bad boyz were potted."
It said the security forces conducted the operation professionally and there was no collateral damage. Two pistols and three hand grenades were also recovered from the gunbattle scene.

were killed on Sunday, when a drone struck their positions in the Idlib Governorate.
According to the preliminary reports, the two leaders, Bilal al-Sanani (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... i national) and Qassam al-Urdoni (Jordanian national), were killed by a U.S. Coalition drone in the Idlib city.
The dronezap targeted the vehicle carrying both men and their associate, Mohammad al-Ahmad, who was seriously maimed as a result of the U.S. Coalition attack.
The attack appears to have been carried out by a U.S. ninja drone, as the unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) was reportedly spotted over the Idlib Governorate before attacking the car with the jihadists inside.
The Hurras al-Deen group, which is linked to al-Qaeda, has long operated in northwestern Syria, as they maintain control over some parts of the Idlib, Hama, and Latakia governorates.
Most recently, they carried out a powerful attack against the Syrian Arab Army (SAA) troops at the Tanjara axis in the al-Ghaab Plain region of Hama.
Sunday’s attack by the U.S. Coalition marks the first time since October 2019, when the U.S. killed ISIS leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, that they have carried out a dronezap in Idlib.
Al-Mohrar Media, an activist collective in northern Syria, said the dead were Horas al-Din’s general military commander, known as Qassam al-Urduni, or “Qassam the Jordanian.” It said the second man was a Yemeni citizen known as Bilal al-Sanaani, the commander of the group’s so-called “desert army.”
In December, a drone strike killed a senior Horas al-Din commander, the Jordanian citizen Bilal Khuraisat, also known as Abu Khadija al-Urduni.
In July last year, the U.S. military said it struck an al-Qaida leadership and training facility in northern Syria, where it said attacks threatening Americans and others were being planned. The U.S. Central Command said in a statement at the time that the strike occurred near the northern province of Aleppo.
In neighboring Lebanon, the Lebanese army said the military carried out an operation in the eastern town of Brital on Sunday liberating 23 people, including women and children, who were kidnapped two weeks ago. The army said those set free in Brital, which borders Syria, included Syrian citizens who were taken as hostages. It gave no further details.

Rare as far as Hezbollah news site Al Masdar is aware of and willing to admit. President Trump seems content in general to let operations run quietly until they achieve the intended results.
[ALMASDARNEWS] During last night’s attack on southern Idlib, the Syrian Arab Air Force (SyAAF) reportedly destroyed a jihadist convoy that was traveling through the Jabal al-Zawiya region.According to reports, the Syrian Air Force targeted a convoy consisting of foreign jihadists from the Turkestan Islamic Party (TIP) and the Hurras al-Deen group, as they attempted to travel between the towns of Deir Sonbol and al-Baraa.
As a result of this attack by the Syrian Air Force, several jihadists were killed and maimed, while a number of vehicles were destroyed.
This attack was reportedly carried out by the Syrian Air Force after their reconnaissance planes spotted the jihadist convoy moving from Deir Sonbol to al-Baraa last night.
Shortly after this strike, the Russian Air Force unleashed its most powerful attack since early March, as their warplanes heavily targeted the jihadists in several areas around the Idlib and Hama governorates.
Russian Arclight airstrike ...KABOOM!... s were reported over the town of al-Baraa, as they attempted to weaken the jihadist base near the southern Idlib front-lines.

Al-Azami said that the Revolutionary Guards’ naval personnel stopped the boat and seized 840 kilograms of opium and 48 kilograms of heroin, noting that "Kalashnikov rifles were also seized in the boat. "
"The Revolutionary Guard works alongside police cadres in combating drug trafficking, and it has achieved remarkable successes in the tasks of eliminating commodity smuggling gangs," al-Azami added.
Iran is facing great difficulties in the fight against drug trafficking, as it strives to limit the flow of opium smuggling from neighboring Afghanistan, where Iran is an important transportation route for smuggling.

The report said the Russian Air Force carried out several of their strikes over the front-line town of al-Baraa, which has become the headquarters for the bandidosmurderous Moslems near the Jabal al-Zawiya front-lines.
A source form the Syrian military said the Russian Air Force struck a gathering point for the jihadist rebels in al-Baraa, resulting in heavy losses for the latter.
This attack by the Russian Air Force last night was the largest assault that they have launched since the start of the March 5th Moscow Agreement.
Tensions between the Syrian military and jihadist rebels have reached a month-long high, following a heavy attack by the Hurras al-Deen group on the SAA’s positions at the Tanjara axis in the A-Ghaab Plain region of northwestern Hama.
Since this attack, the Syrian Arab Army has amassed a large force along the Jabal al-Zawiya and al-Ghaab Plain front-lines, prompting rumors of a new military operation against the jihadist rebels.

[JPost] Video and images from the June 14, 2020 airstrike show the car was hit in the passenger side of the front window and the roof, apparently using two missiles. When you care enough to send extra love
A drone was filmed over Idlib on Sunday and allegedly carried out a strike on a car using the secretive R9X "ninja" missile, a modified version of a Hellfire missile that uses blades to kill instead of a warhead. A bloody body and what appeared to be a blade from the weapon were seen in a Hyundai as people shouted and sought to aid the deceased passenger. A short history follows:
This weapon first was revealed in May 2019 reports that appeared to confirm a mysterious weapon that struck vehicles from Syria to Yemen and penetrated the top of cars like knife going through butter, opening them up like a tin can. This weapon was reportedly used to kill Abu Khayr al-Masri, a deputy of Al-Qaeda, in Idlib province in February 2017.
Al-Masri was born in Egypt and had worked with Ayman al-Zawahiri. Apparently detained in Iran he went to Syria after being released by Tehran in 2015 and moved to Idlib to work with the Nusra front. Nusra is Syria's Al-Qaeda branch. Nusra later became Hayat Tahrir al-Sham.
The area where al-Masri, which means "the Egyptian" was killed, Al-Mastumah, was 44km south of an area called Barisha that Abu Baqr al-Baghdadi moved to after the defeat of ISIS in Raqqa in 2017.
Video and images from the June 14, 2020 airstrike show the car was hit in the passenger side of the front window and the roof, apparently using two missiles. It is reminiscent of another December 2019 drone strike that killed Jordanian member of Hurras al-Din, a man named Bilal Khuraisat or Abu Khadija al-Urduni.
Now another Jordanian and a Yemeni have apparently been killed. They were also linked to Hurras al-Din. The group is said to be an Al-Qaeda breakaway. The dead were named as Qassam al-Urduni, or Qassam the Jordanian, and Bilal al-Sanaani. One man with a leg missing and gashes was reportedly brought to a hospital and photos of him were released. He was said to be alive.
The airstrikes all seem similar. The missile, with up to six swords popping out of an area above its visual guidance at the tip, slice through the passenger side of the car and cut up the target. These are believed to be modified Hellfire missiles, the missiles used since the early 2000s on US armed drones. The modified missile is sometimes called a "Ginsu" but is technically also named an R9X. These are big munitions, about the size of an adult male. They weight 100 lbs.

While held prisoner, he and his fellow officers formed a group hoping to overthrow Qadaffy, so it's kind of hard to describe him as a Qadaffy holdover. He was released around 1990 in a deal with the United States government and spent nearly two decades in the United States, gaining US citizenship. In 1993, while living in the United States, he was convicted in absentia of crimes against the Jamahiriya and sentenced to death. Haftar held a senior position in the anti-Qadaffy forces in the 2011 Libyan Civil War. In 2014 he was commander of the Libyan Army when the General National Congress (GNC) refused to give up power in accordance with its term of office. Haftar launched a campaign against the GNC and its Islamic fundamentalist allies. His campaign allowed elections to take place to replace the GNC, but then developed into a civil war.
