This is El Paso, Tx, not AZ. BTW, being part of the Fort Bliss military installation, it's technically a 'gun free zone' just like Fort Hood. And Note 2 - this is an example of government health care you'll have in the future that the Left so much loves. Unless of course you have the money to pay your own way (to include going to another country for medical care - the two tier medical system for those of the 'inner party').
Detroit — Police are warning officers and anyone else displaying bumper stickers supporting law enforcement about a reported threat that gang members may tamper with their vehicles.
Detroit Police Second Deputy Chief James Fleming, head of the Communications Bureau, on Dec. 30 sent a departmentwide teletype warning officers: “According to a credible source ... gang members — notably those in large metropolitan areas — plan to loosen the lug nuts on officers’ personnel vehicles displaying Law Enforcement/Police Benevolent Association/Fraternal Order of Police plates or stickers.
“Officers are encouraged to continue to be extremely vigilant and exercise caution before operating any vehicle that carries a law enforcement affiliation, particularly if they have been away from their vehicle for an extended period of time,” Fleming wrote.

Show her a picture of Reagan. But be sure she's wearing her brown pants first.
Off-duty Erlanger, Kentucky police officer Darryl Jouett had a rough time after a dinner date with his wife Saturday, shooting himself in the stomach after fumbling with his firearm in an elevator while holding a take-home box in his left hand.

Not if it was soup.
I used to live in Erlanger around 1995-1997. A patrolman knocked on our apartment door one night around 2:00am to tell me that the dome light in my pickup was left on. He didn't want me to wake up to a dead battery. He actually went to the trouble of calling in the plate, getting the address and walking up to the third floor to tell me. Now that's service. It wasn't that guy in the video though.
It's kind of like public school. We all remember a great teacher who really made a difference. At the same time, there is no question that the system is completely and utterly broken.
USGS geophysicist Jana Pursley added that Tuesday’s earthquakes were the “largest since the earthquakes started happening there in the last year.”
“This is the largest earthquake in Irving since the ’70s. That’s as far back as our catalog goes,” said USGS geophysicist Jessica Turner. “There hasn’t been anything like this at all, so it’s new.”
Researchers are relying on equipment installed all over Irving to help understand what is going on with the most recent string of quakes. However, even more equipment is needed in the area to really get a full picture of the shaking. A team from Southern Methodist University was in Irving on Monday to install an additional seismometer.
Geophysicists said that this many earthquakes indicates stress in the Earth’s crust that needs to be relieved.

Only a couple gas wells in the area from what I read. Last well was over 4 years ago, been capped, and frack waste wells were drilled but not in that area.
[AnNahar] U.S. pharmaceutical giant Johnson & Johnson said Tuesday that it has started human trials on a possible vaccine against Ebola.
The Phase I testing is being carried out by the Oxford Vaccine Group at Britannia's Oxford University.
The tests, involving 72 healthy volunteers, will examine how their bodies tolerate the potential vaccine.
Johnson & Johnson said at the end of October it would spend up to $200 million to speed up and expand its Ebola vaccine program.
The company hopes to move on to studies on large groups of patients by April.
It said it has already produced more than 400,000 doses, and two million courses will be ready by the end of the year.
If necessary, Johnson & Johnson said it can make five million doses within 12 to 18 months.
The worst Ebola outbreak on record has killed 8,153 people over the past year. Liberia has seen the highest fatality rate with 3,471 deaths, followed by Sierra Leone and Guinea.
[AnNahar] Travelers coming to the United States from Mali will no longer be required to undergo extra screening at selected airports for potential exposure to Ebola, U.S. authorities said Monday.
On Tuesday, the West African nation will mark 42 days -- or two full incubation cycles -- since the last Ebola patient in Mali had contact with anyone who was not wearing protective gear, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said.
Mali had just two cases of Ebola, and both patients recovered.
"On Tuesday, January 6, 2015, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) will remove Mali from the list of Ebola-affected nations subject to enhanced visa and port-of-entry screening, a statement said.
"Travelers from Mali will no longer be required to undergo enhanced screening and monitoring when entering the United States, nor will they be required to enter the country through the five designated airports that perform this screening."
[AnNahar] Schools in Ebola-ravaged Liberia will reopen in February, six months after they were closed in a bid to contain the spread of the killer virus, the education ministry said Monday.
"We ask all schools to take the necessary measures for the reopening of schools next semester, which is February," the ministry said in a statement read out on the radio.
"All schools have to get equipped with chlorine water, thermometers, and all have to put in place all measures recommended by the health ministry for the prevention of the virus," it added.
The move comes as Liberia, one of three west African countries at the epicentre of the current Ebola outbreak, has seen a steady decrease in new cases in recent weeks.
In another piece of good news for Liberia, the country's football federation announced the resumption of competitive matches.
Musa Bility, the president of the Liberian Football Association, said the ban was lifted "with immediate effect" but he urged players to keep in mind preventative measures to halt the spread of Ebola.
President Ellen Johnson Sirleaf on July 30 ordered all schools to close their doors to contain the epidemic.

Liberia, Guinea, and Mali are improving. However, Sierra Leone has had a few hundred new cases each week over the last month. While that is probably a sign that the epidemic is plateauing, which is an improvement, it is still a lot. It would only take a couple cases to get out into other big dirty cities for this to become a disaster.

[REUTERS] Global oil markets on Tuesday slumped for a fourth straight session as mounting worries about a supply glut pressured crude prices, which have fallen almost 10 percent this week to their lowest since spring 2009.
Traders said the trend for crude seemed lower but that prices could bounce up whenever there is a break in market sentiment. One such moment occurred on Tuesday when weaker-than-expected U.S. economic data briefly pushed the dollar lower. This brought crude off session lows but only for an about an hour, as the downward path resumed.
Refined products such as gasoline RBc1 and heating oil HOc1 also bounced up briefly in morning trade, rallying as investors took profits on short positions. But products later succumbed to the trend, and gasoline settled 2 percent down.
Crude oil prices have plunged more than 55 percent since June, when benchmark Brent traded above $115 a barrel and U.S. crude above $107.
In Tuesday's session, Brent LCOc1 settled down $2.01 at $51.10 a barrel. It earlier fell to $50.52, its lowest since May 2009, and less than a dollar away from breaking below the $50 support.
In the first two days of this week, Brent has dropped $5.32, or almost 10 percent.

The Greek Government should just print up about a Trillion euro notes, put them on pallets in a warehouse and take some pictures to let everyone know that they have all the liquidity necessary to cover their debts.
If the eurocrats don't support them, then they can release the warehouse and not only pay all their debt, but buy most of the German bunds to ensure a positive income stream long into the future.

Self preservation does not equal hate.
The states first responsibility and basis of legitimacy is protection of one's self, family, and property. When the state is unable or unwilling to provide that, people will seek those who will. Clean your own house or have it cleaned for you. That includes dumping your 'diversity' and 'multiculturalism' that permits and thus promotes direct threats to that security.

The lights were turned off in the Cologne Cathedral and the Brandenburg Gate in 1945 as well, but the evil bastids who had brought a beautiful country to ruin were still evicted.
[IraqiNews.com] On Tuesday, a source at the Ministry of Labor and Social Affairs confirmed that a ghost company hiring the unemployed was found in Baghdad.
Does anyone know what this means? I would have thought that hiring the unemployed was a good thing.
The ghost company collects a govt stipend for every unemployed guy it hires. Receipts are submitted showing x number of people hired, checks are issued or cash paid. The "company" is a P.O. box.
The source said in an interview for IraqiNews.com, "Inspector General's Office at the Ministry of Labor and Social Affairs set of a ghost company specialized to hire the unemployed in Baghdad."
The source, who asked not to be named, said, "The arrest process has been in coordination with the Ministry of the Interior." "Stick 'em up, P.O. Box 696!"
The Ministry of Labor and Social Affairs revealed on December 2, 2014 that more than thousand companies operating in Iraq are to be prosecuted. Assuming they can be found.

What was it that Donald Rumsfeld said about Western Europe? Israel's pivot to the East, and the East's toward Israel, continues.
[IsraelTimes] PM Shinzo Abe visits Jerusalem later this month, as trade between the countries grows almost 10% in 2014
“It did not escape Japanese industrialists and officials that Israel still has much stronger trade with some of Japan’s strongest competitors,” Lewi said. “At a time when giants like Samsung, Intel and Google are operating research centers in Israel, Japan is beginning to feel left out.”
Reading his Japanese-language newspaper over breakfast, Rabbi Mendy Sudakevich spotted an ad for a self-help DVD titled ?Get rich like the Jews.?
?Almost anywhere else in the world, such an ad? ? published in several widely read Japanese dailies ? ?would have been deemed anti-Semitic incitement,? noted Sudakevich, an Israel-born Chabad emissary who settled in Tokyo in 2000. But in Japan, he and others said, it?s something akin to a compliment.
