[SeeBS] Two NYPD officers were shot and wounded late Monday in the Bronx. As CBS2’s Jessica Schneider reported, officials said the shooting happened around 10:40 p.m. in front of 2532 Tiebout Ave., at 184th Street, in the Fordham section of the Bronx.
Sources told CBS2 the officers involved were Anti-Crime officers, wearing plain clothes. The officers were investigating an incident at a nearby business, sources said.
One officer was wounded in the arm, the other in the leg, officials said. They were rushed to St. Barnabas Medical Center. Both were expected to survive, officials said. Police blocked off a broad area near the scene following the shooting. The suspect in the shooting was still on the loose as of just before 1 a.m. Tuesday, police said. Thankfully their injuries do not appear to be life threatening.

From what I read last night, it doesn't appear that the attack was an "ambush" on the police like the one recently. Looks like they came upon the suspect in the act of a robbery/break in and shots were exchanged. One would think if the initial crime was to draw the police into an ambush, it would have been more devastating. That may be giving too much credit to the perp though.
And what exactly is an anti-crime officer? Are they from the department of redundancy department?
A North Korean believed to be a runaway soldier killed four Chinese during a robbery after he crossed the border into China in search of food, media reports said Monday.
The young North Korean crossed the border in late December and stole money and food at a house before killing four residents in China’s northeastern city of Helong, South Korea’s Yonhap news agency and Dong-A Ilbo newspaper said. Both cited sources in the border areas between China and the North.
The victims were either shot dead or beaten to death, Dong-A said, adding he was later shot and captured by Chinese authorities.
“Killing several Chinese nationals... is a major crime, so there are good possibilities that China, unlike other runaway North Korean soldiers captured before, will not hand him over to the North,” said an unnamed Seoul official quoted by Yonhap.

He prolly wasn't caught sooner because, in the minds of the Border Guards, China's border wid a Korea is at the Inter-Korean DMZ agz SOKOR, NOT at the Yalu vee NOKOR???

He'd be provided In-State tuition and free health care here.
A rapist and murderer is to be put to death in Belgium this week, despite Europe’s ban on the death penalty, after a court granted him the right to euthanasia.
Frank Van Den Bleeken, 52, is not physically ill but claims his “psychological suffering” is unbearable and that he would prefer to die than spend more of his life behind bars.
He's a convicted killer: since when does he get anything he wants?
His application to die was accepted by Belgium’s Federal Euthanasia Commission in September, and over the weekend, official gave approval for him to be taken to a specialist clinic on Sunday, where he will be killed by lethal injection.
He told a television documentary last year: “If people commit a sexual crime, help them to deal with it. Just locking them up helps no one - neither the individual, society or the victims.
“I am a human being, and regardless of what I’ve done, I remain a human being. So, yes, give me euthanasia.”
And a rapist and a pedophile...
Two older sisters of one of the convict's victims have previously said he should “languish in prison” rather than be allowed a swift release.
“Commissions, doctors and experts have spent so long considering the ups and downs of the life of the murderer of our sister,” one, Annie, told a Dutch newspaper. “ In all those years, no committee ever asked our parents or us how we felt.
That clearly wouldn't fit the narrative...
“No doctor or expert ever came and asked how we were. And then we hear his lawyer on the radio saying how tough it was for him to be abandoned in prison.”

I'd have executed him. In the public square. But since they don't allow capital punishment, I guess assisted suicide would do. It's a waste of resources to keep him alive, and besides, he could escape or be released ...
An imprisoned Belgian serial rapist and murderer whose wish to die had been granted by doctors will not now be euthanized following a fresh medical decision, Justice Minister Koen Geens said Tuesday.
Frank Van Den Bleeken, who has spent 26 years in jail for repeated rapes and a rape-murder, will be moved from his prison in the northwestern city of Bruges to a new psychiatric treatment centre in Ghent, the minister said in a statement.
Geens "takes note of the decision of doctors treating Mr Frank Van Den Bleeken to no longer continue the euthanasia procedure," the minister said in a statement.
He gave no reason for the decision, citing medical privacy.

So in the public square have a big chair equipped with various spring loaded spikes. The vermin, I mean inmate, sits in the chair and holds a dead man switch that takes lots of pressure to keep closed. Strap him into chair and you will have 'assisted' in his suicide. For added fun, do heated spikes
Turkish authorities on Monday detained at least 34 police officers in a new wave of raids over the illegal eavesdropping of top officials including President Recep Tayyip Erdogan, state media said.
Police conducted raids in 13 cities across Turkey and detained officers accused of wiretapping key figures including businessmen, politicians and government officials, Anatolia news agency reported.
The dawn raids, targeting mostly police intelligence unit officers, were carried out simultaneously in mainly eastern and southeastern cities including Erzurum, Gaziantep, Hatay and Tunceli.
The swoop was the latest in a series of raids since July last year which saw dozens of other policemen arrested for allegedly wiretapping Erdogan and other officials.
A trial opened on Friday of 13 suspects accused of setting up bugs to eavesdrop on Erdogan while he was prime minister, including his former top bodyguard and the head of the prime minister’s security department.
In late December, the U.S. finally approved the long-delayed handover of six naval frigates to Mexico and Taiwan. But the bill passed Congress only after Turkey (along with Pakistan and Thailand) were eliminated as potential recipients, for a variety of political reasons.
In the 2012 version of the "Naval Transfer Act," Turkey was to receive two Oliver Hazard Perry class guided missile frigates, the USS Halyburton and the USS Thach, which are being decommissioned by the U.S. Navy. But the inclusion of Turkey proved controversial, as members of Congress pointed out Turkey's increasingly hostile stance toward Israel and its threats against natural gas exploration by American companies near Cyprus.
That bill was ultimately defeated, and an alliance of Greek, Jewish, and Armenian lobbying groups took credit. But the defeat was only a symbolic one, says Can Devrim Yaylali, a Turkish naval blogger, who notes that the frigates in question were significantly more poorly equipped than the ships Turkey currently operates (including those of the same class) and could only have been cannibalized for spare parts.
"The lack of these frigates will not have any effect on the Turkish Navy at all from a technical point of view," Yaylali tells The Bug Pit. "If the US lawmakers tried to give some kind of a signal to the Turkish government by not adding Turkey to the list of the nations that may get a frigate is beyond my understanding. But if they did; the message was not delivered as the medium is not the correct one."
[ARABNEWS] An Indonesian naval patrol vessel has found what could be the tail of a crashed AirAsia passenger jet, the section where the crucial black box voice and flight data recorders are located, officials said on Monday.
Ships and aircraft scouring the northern Java Sea for debris and bodies from the Airbus A320-200 have widened their search to allow for currents eight days after Flight QZ8501 plunged into the water en route from Indonesia?s second-biggest city of Surabaya to Singapore with 162 people on board.
?We found what has a high probability of being the tail of the plane,? Yayan Sofyan, captain of the patrol vessel, told news hounds.

Icing, like the Air France 447 crash, where the pitot tubed iced up in a storm. Without the pitot tubes, the flight computer didn’t have enough data to fly the airplane, so the computer disconnected itself and the pilots inadvertently stalled the aircraft for 30,000 feet, right into the ocean.

tail section could be the empennage (that aft end of the bird containing the rudder, vertical stabilizer, elevators and horizontal stabilizer) not like the Airbus that lost its entire vertical stab/rudder over New Your several years ago. in flight forces probably caused the entire aircraft to break up in flight and this is the remnants of the aft end.
I also suspect pitot static issues along with the computer.

One person commits a crime and immediately the Left wants to punish the 100 million gun owners who never have and never will. It's the kind of logic only a real Stalinist could appreciate.
