Or the cops will be told "Yes, I know he was found with the smoking gun in his hand, and the body still warm at his feet, but we have already reached our limit for murder for this month, so you can't arrest him"

Laugh while you can, privileged members of the undermurdered community. The Day of 'Justment is at hand.
[Washington Examiner] The Justice Department intends to interview two CIA officers for its review of the origins of the Russia investigation.
U.S. Attorney John Durham's team wants to talk to at least one senior counterintelligence official and a senior analyst who examined Russia's role in meddling in the 2016 election, according to the New York Times.
Although formal requests have not yet been submitted, CIA Director Gina Haspel informed senior officials that her agency will cooperate, but will work to ensure that sources, methods, and intelligence provided by allies would be protected.
Attorney General William Barr tasked Durham, a U.S. attorney from Connecticut, with leading the inquiry focused on the origins of the counterintelligence investigation into President Trump's campaign, which the FBI began in the summer of 2016.

...sources, methods, and intelligence provided by allies is the crux of the problem here. "Protecting" that stuff from scrutiny and sunshine disinfectant is the exact opposite of what needs to happen...

All roads appear to be leading to London. Haspel's "allies protected" comment indicates she won't go there.
Yujing Zhang is charged with lying to the Secret Service to enter Mar-a-Lago
The 33-year-old Shanghai business consultant wanted to dismiss public defenders and represent herself
And a U.S. District Judge found her to be competent and granted her request
That's despite the fact she struggles with legal concepts and spoken English
Zhang faces up to six years in prison and $250,000 in fines if convicted
In March she is said to have told a receptionist that she was at the resort for a Chinese-American event in the evening but no such event was scheduled
She was further questioned by agents who say they found four cellphones, a laptop, an external hard drive and a thumb drive containing computer malware

And which crime family political dynasty will get to hire the Clinton machine's soldiers? House Biden or House Bernie? Not a difficult quiz. And the rest of the dem primary horde? Wouldn't want to be picking up their mail, walking their dogs or starting their cars...

Didn't an "auxiliary deputy," basically some old guy who bought his way into the department somewhere, pull his service pistol instead of his taser and kill a guy a while back? Yeah, that happened...

Oh but these people will be unarmed....naturally, so when some wacko kills half of a team, they can call for more gun control.

This will work until someone gets hurt or killed, then the civilians who don't have protection from frivolous lawsuits or police unions will get their asses sued off.
[Breitbart] After the recent shooting in Virginia Beach, when the shooter was found to have a suppressor on one of his two guns, Breitbart News’ AWR Hawkins is back to debunk the myth that gun suppressors are "silencers."
Good info, poor video. Your results (with a .45 or subsonic ammo) may vary. Take the time to clear your weapon prior to attaching any sound or flash suppressing device.

I get Herb level flamed on gun forums for this, but I stand by what I'm saying right here: suppressors cost the gun rights movement momentum that rightly should have gone to national carry reciprocity legislation. I agree that suppressors don't belong under NFA regulation. (I actually agree NFA should be outright repealed.) That said, suppressors are a shiny toy that took too many gun rights people's eyes off the ball.

My argument against bulldog stocks exactly.
Nothing good comes from still burning shells ejected in proximity to right ear and eye.
I agree with M. Murcek as well. Thank Mr. Bond for raising public awareness of sound suppression which has little to no association with a weapon's carry-ability any more than specialty sights.

Look at that delinquent face. And the dark jacket he's wearing, dark, baggy pants. He could be hiding anything. Also, the bastard threatened and assaulted the store owner, so cops had to assume he was armed or dangerous. I hope they don't face problems with their PD.

Who's to say the camera phone person wasn't set to go when the crime went down. Funny how this is truth to power but Project Veritas stuff is dangerous hate propaganda.

Let's stipulate that guns are indeed horrifying, dangerous and icky, but consider: Sometimes an overwhelming show of force results in a peaceful outcome. Fight and flee might be an option if only one cop is on the scene, but when there are four with weapons drawn, surrender might be a better, safer option. At least if you want to live to shoplift another day.
#8
Anytime the usual sort of suspect is shot and killed when they could have easy surrendered or not attempted the crime in the first place, an anguished family member (or even a congress creature) moans that shoplifting, public drunkenness, etc is not a death penalty crime. Stupidity is not a death penalty crime. It does knock your life expectancy way down, however.

Shoplifted and assaulted a store clerk. Who in their right mind thinks the tiny Asian and Hispanic lady cops should go and wrestle with that large black man?

We all know (or so the LIE / MSM tells us) that big black guy is a "gentle giant." And that's not shoplifting, that's impromptu reparations.

I read (at the 'Burg) that $1000 in Cali is not shoplifting, but a trivial misdemeanor, not to be prosecuted. Dallas, TX was talking about s similar measure, up to $750 would be "free".
Jails are too crowded, donchaknow.

[Dhaka Tribune] Rapid Action Battalion (RAB) have arrested a man for killing a young woman and having intercourse with her dead body in Narsingdi.
Police recovered the body of Sabina Aktar, 21, from a banana field in Kazir Char village of Shibpur upazila on Saturday, two days after she went missing.
Her body was subsequently sent for an appointment with Dr. Quincy at Narsingdi Sadar Hospital, which revealed the signs of post-death intercourse, said police sources.
A special team of RAB, pinpointing the victim’s mobile phone, located and arrested the prime suspect, Saiful Islam, 28, from the upazila’s College Gate area on Tuesday night.
RAB 11 Captain Lt Col Kazi Shamsher Uddin disclosed the development at a press briefing in Narsingdi Press Club on Wednesday.
During an investigation into the woman's suspicious death, RAB interrogated Saiful, who reportedly confessed to committing the crime and disclosed details.
According to his confession, Saiful, after divorcing his first wife, had two children with his second wife.
However, the difference between stupidity and genius is that genius has its limits... after meeting Sabina, he concealed being a father and seduced her with a promise of marriage.
During their relationship, Saiful apparently tried several times to have sexual relations with Sabina, but she declined.
On Thursday, the couple met and decided to get married. On their way to a relative’s house, Saiful lured Sabina to a deserted banana field and tried to rape her. But, as she started screaming, Saiful suffocated her with his shirt and killed her. Then in a heinous act, he raped Sabina’s corpse and left it there.
He took Sabina’s mobile phone and purse in an attempt to destroy traces of evidence.
Following his confession, RAB, recovered the phone, purse and the shirt used to choke the victim.

Didn't I read a while back that VZ could not even afford to have new currency printed? Maybe NKor presses are working at a discount as anti counterfeiting measures have been prioritized ahead of the Harriet Tubman banknote. Latest word is the Michael Obummer $3 bill has been pushed out to 2036 or so.

The Taiwanese army has shifted the focus of its annual anti-Chinese invasion drill from thwarting possible beach landings by the People’s Liberation Army and setting up beachheads to combating over-the-horizon strikes.
Taiwanese papers reported that almost all of the island’s advanced weapons systems would be featured and tested in a large-scale anti-landing drill in southern Pingtung county, with all branches of the military involved in the annual Han Kuang anti-invasion exercises.
The air-sea war-game in Pingtung mocks a PLA amphibious invasion with air support. The first stage of the drill last week saw the deployment of F-16 fighter jets, plus Apache and Cobra helicopters, Knox-class frigates, as well as the Thunderbolt-2000, a multiple-launch rocket system developed with the island’s indigenous talent.
A number of all-female squads equipped with self-propelled guns were among the 1,000 troops that took part in the Pingtung chapter of the Han Kuang exercise.
A Defense Ministry official told Taiwan’s Central News Agency that over the past few decades the drill has focused on fending off beach landings by the PLA from across the Taiwan Strait. But, that emphasis has now been broadened because China has prioritized naval and airforce expeditionary tactics plus over-the-horizon amphibious assault capabilities that now pose a greater threat along Taiwan’s entire coastline.
He said the navy and air force would get a boost in the overall defense budget, and one example was Taiwan’s bid to procure more than 60 F-16V fighters from Lockheed Martin, a deal under review by the Pentagon and the US State Department.

The PLA’s ace stealth fighter, the J-20, and the Russian-made S-400 surface-to-air missiles sent to China recently have been identified by the Taiwanese military as assets that would be most detrimental to the self-governed island.
The jet fighter and missiles will feature in the mock battle in the Han Kuang exercise, and more drills will be conducted off the island’s Pacific coast in the second half.
The Pacific coast may become a potential "Achilles’ heel" ‐ a weak spot ‐ now that Taiwan has effectively fortified the west coast and garrisoned much of its weaponry and defense capabilities there. The possibility of a PLA "attack at the back", especially with the J-20 and the S-400, cannot be ruled out and future drills aim to help Taiwan beef up its defense on its "strategic rear."
[Air Force Magazine] The Defense Department and Lockheed Martin have reached a tentative agreement on the next lot of F-35s, with options for a multi-year buy worth about $34 billion for 478 aircraft total, including foreign partners and customers.
The agreement covers production Lot 12, with options for Lots 13 and 14. The first lot will include 157 aircraft, according to a Pentagon statement. The "framework" of the deal would lower the cost of an F-35A to $80 million in Lot 13, a year earlier than initially planned. Under Lot 11, the aircraft cost $89.2 million each.
"This is a historic milestone for the F-35 enterprise, and marks the largest procurement in the history of the department," Undersecretary of Defense for Acquisition Ellen Lord said in a statement.
"I am proud to state that this agreement has achieved an estimated 8.8 percent savings from Lot 11 to Lot 12 F-35As," Lord said, as well as an average reduction of 15 percent "across all variants from Lot 11 to Lot 14." The deal "symbolizes my commitment to aggressively reduce F-35 cost, incentivize industry to meet required performance, and to deliver the greatest capabilities to our warfighters at the best value to our taxpayers," she added.
By law, the US cannot enter a multi-year purchase agreement until after a program has entered full-rate production. The US could not participate in the first year of the "block buy," but international partners can, and have already signed up to do so. Block buys or multi-year buys commit the government to buying a designated number of aircraft. Armed with this commitment, the contractor can make more economical buys of materials and components, and more efficiently hire and deploy its workforce.
