At least one person is dead and another is in critical condition after a reported shooting early Saturday morning in Seattle's Capitol Hill Autonomous Zone (CHAZ). by useless_aether in news

What doesn't make sense to me (I watched a really long stream of the events) is that the first guy shot is taken away and when the cops show up they chase them out. They were under the assumption that there was another victim but ended up leaving. Then 10 minutes later, you see a second van taking off with another victim. Instead of putting more value into hating the cops, just let them in to help, the gunshot victim's lives should take priority. Am I crazy?

Police officers shoot and kill Los Angeles security guard: 'He ran because he was scared' by magnora7 in PoliceMisconduct

A few articles I read about this incident included a snippet of the Terron Boone shooting. Here's an article that contains information I've seen in a few places. I'd like to see what comes of the investigation but looks like he was pulled over in connection with a kidnapping and assault investigation and when pulled over shot at the deputies. I'm hoping for some type of video to surface though because "None of the deputies or their vehicles had cameras to document the incident"...

“The individual then produced a handgun, and then began running southbound away from the deputies through businesses nearby. Deputies engaged in a short foot pursuit between the two businesses, at some point the deputies contacted the suspect and that’s when the deputy-involved shooting occurred.”

Read a few articles, some mention an unmarked handgun was recovered with large-capacity magazine. Gun can be see in this report

Apparently the owner says that the security system wasn't on...

Hundreds of truck drivers have expressed concern about delivering to cities that chose to defund their police departments by codedtestament in WorldNews

I can definitely see where the concern is. I used to work for a company that monitored high value loads both across the country and short routes within the same city. People pay lots of money to make sure the trucks get from A to B (security) and the most dangerous spots on the routes where when they were leaving and when they were entering the city.

Logically isn't jacking it a form of abortion? If you do it in a tube sock is it considered rape of the sock?

Yes, most of the comments will reference "bootlickers". It's at the point where I read the top comments and then sort by controversial to get all sides of the discussion.

BLM donations go to ActBlue, which then funds democratic candidates for president by magnora7 in corruption

I agree. Presently there is not enough information to say what happens to the money. Just a small percentage going to ActBlue isn't a big deal, I think people are jumping on the "But if they don't claim the money, ActBlue gets it and then gets distributed how they see fit". That would be bad, but you can't prove that is actually happening because there isn't any public information to review.

It would be another thing if there was a direct link to show BLM directly giving money to a political organization because that alone would not allow them to keep their 501(c)(3) status per the IRS.
