-War on Police-
Antifa protesters throw concrete at police and vandalize a war memorial with 'Kill Cops' messages during demonstration against a planned KKK rally in Portland

#1  A "planned KKK rally"? In Portland?

#7  "Throwing concrete at the police?" I recall a guy here in the South who came at a cop with a cement block. He was warned to drop it or get shot. He got shot.

#8  why won't the police take up for themselves? Some rubber bullets would more than likely stop this shit. Real bullets definetly would.

Top NYPD cop warns officers not to wear their uniforms in public for their own safety following assassination attempts on police as suspect is pictured handcuffed to hospital bed
  • Hazel Jennings, chief of the Department of Corrections, issued a memo Sunday night urging officers not to wear uniforms or department logos in public to avoid being targeted
  • The memo came after a career criminal launched two separate attacks on officers in the Bronx in the span of just 12 hours, leaving two officers injured
  • Robert Williams was taken into custody after he allegedly opened fire on the 41st precinct Sunday morning
  • He struck a lieutenant in the arm before running out of bullets, lying down and tossing his gun as he was swarmed by officers
  • Hours earlier, Williams approached a patrol van in the same area late Saturday and fired at two officers inside, wounding one before escaping on foot
  • Authorities said the 45-year-old suspect was out on parole after a 2002 attempted murder conviction
  • He was seen handcuffed to a hospital bed on Sunday in photos obtained exclusively by DailyMail.com
  • Authorities said they brought a woman in for questioning who is believed to be Williams' girlfriend Liza T Valdez, a communications technician for the NYPD
  • NYPD Commissioner Dermot Shea labeled both attacks this weekend attempted 'assassinations'
  • Shea and Mayor Bill de Blasio blamed the attacks on an anti-police atmosphere fueled by recent protests

Gunman who 'ambushed NYPD cop in patrol car and shot lieutenant inside precinct hours later' recently RELEASED from jail
  • [Daily Mail, Where America Gets Its News] NYPD lieutenant Jose Gautreaux was shot in the arm on Sunday morning, 12 hours after officers Paul Stroffolino, 31, and Brian Hanlon, 33, were shot at in the Bronx on Saturday night

  • Video shows him laying on the floor after he ran out of bullets around 8am and a cop fights him on the ground

  • Footage from Sunday shows approximately a dozen cops respond and subdue suspect Robert Williams

  • Williams has a long rap sheet and was recently released from jail on a weapons possession charge

  • Williams was paroled in 2017 for an attempted murder shooting conviction in 2002 in the Bronx. He subsequently carjacked a woman, crashed the car and engaged in a gunfight with members of the NYPD

  • Commissioner Dermot Shea called the suspect a 'coward' Sunday and labeled both attacks this weekend attempted 'assassinations'

  • 'It is only by the grace of God and the heroic actions of those inside the building that took him into custody that we are not talking about police officers murdered inside a New York City police precinct,' Shea said

  • Officer Stroffolino was shot in a patrol van on Saturday night. He got a hero's welcome from fellow cops as he was released from hospital Sunday

  • Authorities questioned a woman believed to be Williams' girlfriend Liza T Valdez, a communications technician for the NYPD

Afghanistan
Farah Officials Claim Civilians Were Killed in Airstrike
[ToloNews] The provincial governor and a Farah MP both claim that an Arclight airstrike
...KABOOM!...
killed five civilians who were businessmen traveling on Saturday from Farah city to Abu Nasar Farahi Port when their vehicle was targeted.

"The governor is in charge here ... the governor must answer about who killed them," said Abdul Ghafar Arman, an MP for Farah.

The Ministry of Defense has not commented on the allegations. Foreign forces, contacted on Sunday night, have also not commented yet.

Farah's governor Massoud Bakhtor said that the incident will be investigated.

"We have set up a commission to investigate the incident and will share its findings with the governor's office and we will take serious action," said Bakhtor.

Human rights organizations denounced the attacks and called for an end to the strikes.

"We call on all parties to the war to respect international humanitarian law and the Afghan constitution. In all cases, the universal declaration of human rights
One man's rights are another man's existential threat.
emphasizes that civilians must stay away from military objectives," said Zabiullah Farhang, front man for the AIHRC.

"Unfortunately, we do not see any proper action towards civilian victims of the Afghan conflict, and we do not see any accountability for those who caused civilian casualties," said Zaman Sultani, Amnesia Amnesty International's South Asia Researcher.

On the other hand, a delegation of US troops went to Kunduz province on Saturday to meet and apologize to the families of victims of the airstrike in Dasht-e-Archi. Nearly two weeks ago an airstrike allegedly caused the death of five Lions of Islam and five civilians, including two women and one child.
If y’all keep apologizing, the civilians will not learn to stay far away from legitimate targets, and the targets will continue recruiting — often forcibly — civilian shields.
"The foreign forces special operations commander had arrived on a trip with a delegation. They apologized to the family for the martyrdom of the five civilians in Dasht-e-Archi district and assured them that they would seriously investigate the airstrike," said Esmatullah Muradi, a front man for Kunduz governor.

The Independent Human Rights Commission has also expressed concern about civilian casualties in US and Afghan airstrikes, saying numbers have increased compared to the past.
Increased pace and aggression of actions leads to more death and destruction among the targets and those around them. Sensible people who want to win wars would consider this a good thing,

Key Taliban sniper among 5 killed in a premature bomb explosion in North of Afghanistan
[KhaamaPress] A premature bomb explosion killed five Talibs including a key sharp-shooter (sniper) of the group in North of Afghanistan, the Afghan Military said.

According to a statement released by Special Operations Corps, an Improvised Explosive Device (IED) went off prematurely among Talibs in northern Sar-e-Pul
...a city and eponymous province in northern Afghanistan, population about 500,000. Demographically it is majority Tadjik and Uzbek. There are small Pashtun, Arab, and Hazara communities, of which the Hazaras mostly don't bother anyone...
province which killed 5 Talibs.

The statement further added that the bomb went kaboom! among Talibs in Sayad district, killing five Talibs including Bismillah alias Farahuddin, one of the sharp-shooters (snipers) of the group.

The Special Operations Corps also added that the earth-shattering kaboom also destroyed a thermal rifle scope.

The Taliban
...the Pashtun equivalent of men...
group has not commented regarding the incident so far.

Talibs and other hard boy groups often use improvised bomb as the weapon of their choice to target the security forces and government officials.

Egypt’s military foils checkpoint attack, kills 10 terrorists in North Sinai
[AlAhram] Egypt’s armed forces said on Sunday that they had thwarted a terrorist attack on a security checkpoint in North Sinai governorate, killing ten Death Eaters participating in the attack.

According to a statement by the military front man, security forces at the checkpoint were able to resist and engage the terrorist elements, killing ten and destroying a four-wheel drive vehicle they were using.

The front man added that during the shootout, two officers and five other military personnel were killed or maimed.

"The armed forces and police affirm that they will continue their efforts to eliminate and uproot terrorism," the front man said.

Security forces in the region are currently undertaking sweeping operations at the site to apprehend terrorists, according to the statement.
The Times of Israel adds:
More than 840 suspected militants have been killed in the region since February 2018, according to army figures. Some 67 security personnel have also been killed.

Algerian soldier was killed in a suicide car bomb attack near the Mali border
[PUBLISH.TWITTER]
The Jerusalem Post adds:
A ministry statement said the bombing took place in the Bordj Baji Mokhtar region. It was not known who carried out the attack, the first suicide bombing in Algeria for several years.

The conflict in neighboring Libya and deteriorating security across another of Algeria's borders, in Mali, have both fed concerns of armed militant groups growing more active in the Sahara and Sahel regions of North Africa.

Algeria is already wrestling with a major political crisis after a year of mass protests that helped oust the veteran president, but which continue with demonstrators demanding the ruling elite be fully replaced.

It also faces economic problems, with declining energy sales contributing to a fall in state revenue and planned cuts in public spending this year.

India-Pakistan
Shutdown in Kashmir on Afzal’s death anniversary
[HindustanTimes] Shops, markets and other businesses mostly remained closed in the capital Srinagar on Sunday and public transport stayed off the roads.

A general strike called by Kashmiri separatists to mark the seventh death anniversary of Mohammad Afzal Guru, convicted for his role in the 2001 attack on Parliament and hanged this day in 2013, hit normal life in the Valley on Sunday.

Shops, markets and other businesses mostly remained closed in the capital Srinagar on Sunday and public transport stayed off the roads.

Israel-Palestine-Jordan
After rocket fired into Israel, aircraft strike Hamas targets in Gaza early Monday morning
[IsraelTimes] IAF strikes come after PM, defense minister promise harsh military response following week-and-a-half of near-daily attacks from 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...

Israeli warplanes attacked several targets in the Gaza Strip after midnight Sunday, the army said, several hours after forces of Evil in the enclave launched a rocket into Israel.

The Israel Defense Forces said warplanes and and other aircraft attacked several targets of the Hamas, the braying voice of Islamic Resistance®, terror group in southern Gaza, including "a training camp and military infrastructure."

#1  interesting if true

Hezbollah has been mostly absent from the front lines in the battles in Idlib province for a long time. I was wondering if they were being held in reserve for another purpose. However, I thought Syria (and Russian airpower) could take all of Aleppo without using Hezbollah but I was wrong about that.
