-War on Police-
3 Prince George's County police officers shot 'were ambushed'
Prince Georges County is a suburb of DC. It's 62% black and 14% Hispanic.
[WBALTV] Three Prince George's County coppers were shot within seconds of arriving at a home invasion call, the interim police chief said.County police said officers were called at 6:35 p.m. Sunday to the 1300 block of Capital View Terrace.

Interim Police Chief Hector Velez said there was a legitimate call for service, a home invasion, but that the officers came under fire within seconds after arriving at the scene.

"They were ambushed," Velez said.

Police said officers returned fire, and two men are in jug. They were not struck.

"This evening, I received a call that three of my officers were shot. My heart sank," Velez said.

"This is the call you hope you never get, and we were just so shaken tonight to have gotten the call that three of our officers had been shot," Prince George's County Executive Angela Alsobrooks said. "All three of these officers are nothing short of heroes."

The officers were taken to the hospital for treatment.

"They're going to be fine ... They are in good spirits. They are concerned about each other. They expressed concern for the person that they were responding to for the call for service," Velez said. "At this point, they suffered various degrees of injuries, and fortunately, we were able to apprehend two individuals."

The chief said the officers provided care to each other.

"Because of the self-care they provided to each other, they were able to be transported to Prince George's Hospital Center, where they are receiving excellent care," Velez said.

The chief said the officers suffered various degrees of injuries: one who was struck in the chest was saved by his vest and suffered arm and leg injuries. A second officer who was shot in the back was saved by his vest. A third officer suffered an injured foot.

"These officers are your officers. These officers are coming to work to protect, defend the residents of Prince George's County. This evening, these heroes did just that," Velez said.

"I want to ask our community tonight to keep all of these officers in your prayers, please keep their families in your prayers, keep this entire department in your prayers," Alsobrooks said.

Pale souls and white whales? Why, we'll scale 'em;

Pull the whole haunted town,
And then Marblehead, down,
As we march upon Boston from... oh, that Salem.
Never mind.

Portland: Mayor Ted Wheeler says the city is ''considering all options'
[OPB.ORG] In late July, Mayor Ted Wheeler
...the incompetent but trendy leftist mayor of Portland...
had an idea he hoped would end the nightly festivities between protesters and police in Portland.

He texted Sonia Schmanski, a top aide, that he had a plan that was "high risk," but he added that the city had "nothing to lose."

Four arrested in Charlotte on third night of protests ahead of RNC
[NYPOST] Protesters erupted into the streets of Charlotte, North Carolina, on Sunday for a third straight night of demonstrations that prompted police to use pepper spray and arrest four people ahead of the Republican National Convention, which kicks off Monday, according to a report.More than 100 people split up into groups of about 15 after gathering in Marshall Park late Sunday, the Charlotte Observer reported.

They then marched uptown and chanted "No RNC in CLT!" and "F— Donald Trump
...the Nailer of NAFTA...
!" as they gathered near the Westin Charlotte Hotel, where delegates are staying, according to the news outlet.

Trump and Vice President Mike Pence are expected to be in Charlotte for the RNC’s first night Monday when the delegates assemble in the Charlotte Convention Center to officially nominate them for the 2020 GOP ticket.

The protesters later marched back to South Tryon Street until they reached cops on bikes and chanted "Black Lives Matter!"

When one protester yelled that the officers were holding pepper spray, the group turned around, as some chanted "F— the police!"

Chief: Detroit police prevented 'Seattle zone of lawlessness'
[DETROITNEWS] Officers used force to prevent protesters from setting up a "Seattle zone of lawlessness" during demonstrations that turned violent mostly peaceful Saturday, the city's police chief said Monday.bankrupt, increasingly impoverished, reliably Democrat, Detroit
... ruled by Democrats since 1962. A city whose Golden Age included the Purple Gang...
police chief James Craig made the comment while there are multiple internal investigations to determine whether any officers acted improperly during the skirmishes.

"I am not going to let any group set up a Seattle zone of lawlessness here in the city of Detroit," Craig said. "That is non-negotiable."

In Seattle, authorities allowed protesters to occupy several blocks for about two weeks until clearing the area in late June. There were at least two people killed and a sexual assault in the zone.

Craig said officers made 44 arrests Saturday after the group Detroit Will Breathe blocked the intersection of John R and Woodward and refused to leave following at least eight warnings. The coppers told the crowd to disperse because the gathering in the middle of the street constituted an illegal assembly, he said.

Sixteen of those arrested were Detroiters, Craig said. The others came from the Metro Detroit suburbs and Ann Arbor. One man who was arrested is from Caliphornia, an impregnable bastion of the Democratic Party,. All but one were released as of Monday, the chief said.

Israel-Palestine-Jordan
IDF strikes targets in southern Gaza Strip
[Jpost] "Recently, IDF fighter jets, tanks and aircraft attacked military bases and underground infrastructure of the Hamas terrorist organization in the southern Gaza Strip,” the IDF said in a statement.

The IDF struck targets in the southern area of the Gazoo
...Hellhole adjunct to Israel and Egypt's Sinai Peninsula, inhabited by Gazooks. The place was acquired in the wake of the 1967 War and then presented to Paleostinian control in 2006 by Ariel Sharon, who had entered his dotage. It is currently ruled with an iron fist by Hamaswith about the living conditions you'd expect. It periodically attacks the Hated Zionist Entity whenever Iran needs a ruckus created or the hard boyz get bored, getting thumped by the IDF in return. The ruling turbans then wave the bloody shirt and holler loudly about oppression and disproportionate response...
Strip the IDF said in a statement, confirming initial Paleostinian reports.

According to the Paleostinian reports, explosions were heard at the same time IDF aircraft entered the southern Gaza city of Rafah.

"The IDF conducts an ongoing situation assessment and acts firmly and resolutely against any attempt to carry out terrorist activity against the citizens of the State of Israel and the violation of its illusory sovereignty."

The strike came in the early hours of Tuesday morning, following at least 36 fires that were started in the Gaza envelope, on Monday.
There were no immediate reports of casualties.

On Monday, a senior Hamas, a regional Iranian catspaw, official told the pro-Hamas channel Paleostine Today that the surge in violence would continue until their demands on lifting the blockade were met.

"It is our right to break this siege," Ismail Radwan said.

Israel and Egypt have maintained a blockade on Gazoo
...Hellhole adjunct to Israel and Egypt's Sinai Peninsula, inhabited by Gazooks. The place was acquired in the wake of the 1967 War and then presented to Paleostinian control in 2006 by Ariel Sharon, who had entered his dotage. It is currently ruled with an iron fist by Hamaswith about the living conditions you'd expect. It periodically attacks the Hated Zionist Entity whenever Iran needs a ruckus created or the hard boyz get bored, getting thumped by the IDF in return. The ruling turbans then wave the bloody shirt and holler loudly about oppression and disproportionate response...
since Hamas ousted the Paleostinian Authority in 2007, in order to prevent it importing weapons for attacking Israel and material used to construct fortifications and underground tunnels. Israel also frequently tightens restrictions in response to violence from the Strip.

Also Monday, four members of the Paleostinian Islamic Jihad
...created after many members of the Egyptian Moslem Brotherhood decided the organization was becoming too moderate. Operations were conducted out of Egypt until 1981 when the group was exiled after the assassination of President Anwar Sadat. They worked out of Gaza until they were exiled to Lebanon in 1987, where they clove tightly to Hezbollah. In 1989 they moved to Damascus, where they remain a subsidiary of Hezbollah...
were killed in an apparent bomb-making accident in the Gaza Strip.

After explosions were reported in a PIJ military wing compound in the northern Gaza City neighborhood of Shejaiya, Paleostinian media initially attributed the earth-shattering kabooms to Israeli Air Force strikes. But Hebrew media, citing Israeli security officials, denied any Israeli connection to the incident, adding that it appeared to have been a "work accident."

The terror group subsequently announced that four of its fighters, Iyad Jamal al-Jidi, Muataz Amir al-Mubid, Yahya Fareed al-Mubid and Yaaqoub Zaydieh were killed in the blast during "preparations to remove the criminal entity from our occupied land."

In recent days the IDF has responded to the dozens of arson balloons and intermittent rocket fire with near-nightly reprisal raids on Hamas targets in the Strip, bombing underground infrastructure, weapons production facilities, cement factories used to make parts for tunnels, and observation posts along the border.

The situation in the Gaza Strip was poised to become even more volatile as Hamas announced Monday that it had identified four new cases of the coronavirus (aka COVID19 or Chinese Plague)
...the twenty first century equivalent of bubonic plague, only instead of killing off a third of the population of Europe it kills 3.4 percent of those who notice they have it. It seems to be fond of the elderly, especially Iranian politicians and holy men...
, the first not caught in the quarantine centers located along the border of the coastal enclave for those entering the Strip.

Unsure how the four family members managed to contract the virus, Hamas declared a 48 hour lockdown over the entire enclave in an effort to identify the source of the outbreak and contain it.

Syria-Lebanon-Iran
Iran Guards say three US-linked infiltrators killed
[AlAhram] The Guards said the gang was 'affiliated with the global arrogance
That'd be us. They get tired of bitching about the Great Satan sometimes.
,' a term the Islamic republic uses for its arch enemy the United States.


Iran's Revolutionary Guards said Monday that its forces killed three button men with links to the United States who tried to infiltrate its territory in the country's far northwest.

"Last night, a counter-revolutionary terrorist group... got caught up in an intelligence web of (Guards) fighters in the Maku public area," the Guards' Sepahnews website reported.

They said the group had "intended to penetrate deep into our country" but added that all three were killed during festivities.

"Significant quantities of weapons, equipment, ammunition and communication systems were seized."

The Maku area is a slither of land in West Azerbaijan province located less than 15 kilometres (nine miles) from Iran's far northwestern border with The Sick Man of Europe Turkey
...Qatar's satrapy in Asia Minor...
Iran's west and northwest areas have seen sporadic festivities between its forces and Kurdish rebels in past years.
Oooohhhhh... they didn’t kill Americans, they killed Kurds. Got it.
On May 29, three Iranian border guards were killed in one such clash with "armed bad boys" in West Azerbaijan province.
That lot were said to be PJAK, associated with the Turkey-based Kurdistan Workers Party (PKK). So maybe today’s were, too.

Syria Blackout after Suspected Pipeline Attack

[AnNahar] A suspected attack on a pipeline in Syria caused a nationwide blackout overnight, the state news agency quoted ministers as saying Monday.

According to SANA, the electricity minister said a kaboom on a pipeline in the Damascus area late Sunday "led to an electricity blackout across Syria".

Some power stations were eventually reconnected and power provided to vital infrastructure, he said, adding that by dawn electricity was gradually returning to several provinces.

Deir Ezzor NDF appoint new leader in Al-Mayadeen, a week after the killing of former leader
[SYRIAHR] Reliable SOHR sources have confirmed that the general command of the regime-backed National Defence Forces (NDF) appointed a new leader of their branch in al-Mayadeen city in the eastern countryside of Deir Ezzor. This development comes in the wake of the death of the former leader a week earlier, in the earth-shattering kaboom which targeted a group of NDF nearby al-Tayyem oil field in the eastern countryside of Deir Ezzor.
"Next!"
SOHR sources said at that time that a group of some 50 turbans affiliated to the regime-backed "National Defence Forces" (NDF) were trapped in a mine field in al-Mayadeen desert in the eastern countryside of Deir Ezzor.

According to SOHR sources, six members went missing a day earlier in the desert, so NDF sent a group of tens of members to search for the lost group, but they entered the mine field by mistake. The mine field was one of ISIS ambushes in the Syrian desert.

SOHR activists documented the killing of eight members due to the earth-shattering kaboom of several landmines, while others sustained various injuries. Meanwhile,
...back at the barn, a little lightbulb figuratively appeared over Bossy's head...
engineering teams have arrived in the area to dismantle the mines there.

After beating woman Locals hold demonstration in Tal Abyad against Turkish-backed military police
[SYRIAHR] SOHR sources have monitored dozens of residents holding a demonstration in Tal Abyad in northern countryside of al-Raqqa province, within the "Peace Spring" areas.

The demonstrators demanded that military coppers who stormed a woman’s house and brutaly beat her yesterday be held accountable.

They also demanded the toppling of the Ottoman Turkish-backed military police official in the city of Tal Abyad, amid growing public discontent and tension over the ongoing abuses by Ankara-backed hard boyz against the residents in the area.

Yesterday, the Syrian Observatory monitored a security tension evolving into festivities between military police and members of the third central of al-Jabha al-Shamiya, after members of the military police stormed a house in the city of Tel Abyad within the areas of "Peace Spring", north of Raqqa, beating a woman from the city. While tension is still prevailing in the city between both sides to date.
