The US Defense Department inspector general discerned that Lockheed Martin's Sikorsky Aircraft Black Hawk helicopters "are unable to accommodate some of the larger items the Mi-17 can carry, and in general it takes almost two Black Hawks to carry the load of a single Mi-17." The Mi-17, known under NATO reporting name "Hip," is sold by Rosoboronexport.
The dispute arose when the couple, who had ordered a meal to-go, asked why they had been charged $2.50 for an orange juice that was listed as $1 on the menu. The incident took place in May, but the police footage was only released this week, after the couple's footage circulated on Facebook.
Fort Walton Police bodycam footage shows the couple inside the restaurant in Fort Walton Beach, Florida. The officer can be heard taking a tough stance with the male complainant, who says the officer will put his hands on him if he goes outside. "Oh I'm going to put my hands on you!" the officer said.
Yet for all the talk of President Trump having problems with "allies," it is the European Union that is facing rebellion within its own ranks. As President Trump recognized on his Twitter account, the new government of Italy is now one of his strongest international supporters.
The deaths occurred in two separate police shootings in Kansas City, Missouri, on Thursday. The first fatality was a woman reportedly brandishing a "sword" who was shot after a standoff, the Kansas City Star reported.
Police Captain Lionel Colón said he is confident the shooting "was a last-resort situation to ensure the safety of the public" and noted that some "action" took place that "met the criteria for lethal force."
"She had been seen earlier ... walking around with the sword, which is obviously a threat to the community," Colón said, noting that he was not sure if she had the sword at the time she was shot, or whether she was shot inside the shed or had emerged from the building before police fired at her.
Less than an hour later, two men were shot dead in an unrelated incident 10 miles away, reportedly during a fight over a gun and a golf cart. According to Colón, officers who arrived at the scene returned fire after being shot at.
Daniel Amador, 46, had been free on bail as the trial progressed over the last several months. However, he was detained on Wednesday after a jury found him guilty of first-degree child molestation, second-degree child rape, third-degree child rape and first-degree incest.
According to the court documents, this vile top cop routinely raped his older daughter, known in court papers as A.B., about five times a week and also molested his younger daughter, C.A.
The abuse took place for more than a decade and the little girls were unable to tell anyone as their father was a cop. Both of the victims, now ages 24 and 19, described their horrifying childhood in which A.B. was Amador's favorite one to rape while C.A. was regularly belittled.
The new policy order comes after a report by the city's Office of Police Conduct Review found that paramedics had used ketamine on suspects during police calls 62 times in 2017, up from just three times in 2012. In some cases, emergency personnel injected the tranquilizer into suspects who were already restrained, causing heart and breathing failure and requiring the suspects to be medically revived, reported the Minneapolis Star-Tribune.
"Our policy should be clear," said Mayor Jacob Frey. "Cops shouldn't direct medical professionals on health-related issues, and medical professionals shouldn't listen to them."
Two local healthcare officials, Jeffrey Ho and Jon Cole, criticized the report for its "reckless use of anecdotes...to draw uninformed and incorrect conclusions." In a statement, they argued in favor of sedation, claiming that it is sometimes necessary to avoid "allowing people to exhaust themselves to death."

A construction of a housing project in the Israeli settlement of Na'ale, near the West Bank city of Ramallah.
"Israeli banks are facilitating their expansion and thus bankrolling these abuses," said the Israel/Palestine Advocacy Director of Human Rights Watch (HRW), Sari Bashi, in an article, published in World Policy earlier this week. "The involvement of banks in these transactions can amount to pillage -- that is, seizing private property in conflict situations, in violation of the laws of war."
The official gave an example of the banks' involvement in settlement-related activities: The cooperation between developer Zemach Hammerman and Bank Leumi in constructing a new housing project in the settlement of Alfei Menashe. The developer and the bank have so-called "accompaniment agreements," designed to protect the investments of homebuyers, Bashi explained, adding that similar patterns are used in the development of other Israeli settlements.
"She [the teacher] came into class completely veiled without warning and started reading lines from [the] Koran out loud", students from a vocational school in the Swiss capital told local 20 Minuten newspaper.
Though nobody is said to have left the class, the extraordinary move raised a few eyebrows. Some of the students claimed later that "it did not belong in a classroom," the news outlet reports.
The video released by 20 Minuten claims to show the teacher in question wearing a niqab - a Muslim face-covering veil - reading passages from the Koran. Some of the words are bleeped out. The teacher, however, is not a Muslim and reportedly bought the niqab during a vacation in Egypt.
This paper briefly charts the history of the relations between Ireland and the Palestine question. I then use the September 2017 conference 'Freedom of speech and Higher Education: The case of the academic boycott of Israel' held in Trinity College Dublin to highlight the extent of Zionist interference and concomitant university support. I conclude with a brief outline of the work of Academics for Palestine, of which I am the chair.
"He's the head of a country, and I mean he's the strong head," Trump said. "He speaks and his people sit up at attention. I want my people to do the same."
Twitter instantly reacted to Trump's statement, which some of his opponents in the #resistance viewed as proof of his dictatorial ambitions.
