Thin Blue Line post
The pro-police page, Thin Blue Line either just had one helluva a come to Jesus experience, have been hacked, or made one of the most insane admissions by police we have ever seen. Regardless of the motive behind the post, however, the internet is destroying them.

Below is a screen capture of the post which advocates killing children for being bad. The post reads as follows: "Parents, Please stop telling your children that we will haul them off to jail if they are bad. We are far more likely to shoot them, regardless of how they behave. ...Far more likely."

A woman shot and killed by a San Antonio police officer during a welfare check Saturday afternoon has been identified by the Bexar County Medical Examiner's Office as Kirsten Kloppe, 43.

Kloppe was shot in the abdomen by an unidentified, six-year female veteran of the force in her North Side home as officers attempted to disarm and subdue her.

According to San Antonio Police Chief William McManus, Kloppe had a history of mental illness.

Police initially responded to the residence after Kloppe called to report someone was stalking her.

Officers found Kloppe locked in her bedroom holding a Glock pistol. McManus said Kloppe raised her gun to her head and a struggle with police ensued.

Sheriff is pleased with ordering the death of an unarmed man

A chilling body camera video has just been released showing the violent, reckless, and outright insane tendencies of police in Tennessee. While the original killing of Michael Dial was ruled justified-in spite of him being unarmed-the new body camera footage raises some serious questions and shines a disturbing light on police officers and their desire to kill.

Last April, Smithville police attempted to pull Dial over for driving on a suspended license. Only minutes later, police would kill the unarmed man over this minor traffic offense.

Dial was driving a 1976 pickup truck when police turned on their lights to pull him over. Instead of stopping, he continued on. The low-speed chase lasted only a few minutes until police rammed him off the road and shot him in the head. Dial was unarmed.

Michael's widow, Robyn Dial told local media that she couldn't believe how quick a stop over a suspended license escalated to her husband being kill by police. Dial explained that her husband feared the police, so he chose to keep driving-a decision that would seal his fate forever.

Computer engineering students at the Stockholm-based Royal Institute of Technology cannot complete their education without presenting their reflections on the benefits of being a white heterosexual man.

Apart from programming and mathematics, students who choose computer engineering as their major at the Royal Institute of Technology (KTH) also have to expect a compulsory course named "Program Cohesion," which includes a seminar and an essay on minorities and equal treatment, the Nyheter Idag news outlet reported.

To participate in the seminars, students are required to read articles "revealing the hetero norm" at Swedish institutions and on the #Metoo campaign against sexual harassment, as well as watch a film about being black in the Nordic country.

The founders of New California took an early step toward statehood Monday with the reading of their own Declaration of Independence from California, a state they describe as "ungovernable."

Their solution: Take over most of current-day California - including many rural counties - and leave the coastal urban areas to themselves.

"The current state of California has become governed by a tyranny," the group, led in part by vice chairman Robert Paul Preston, declared in a document published online.


Comment: It might be awhile, a long while. Breaking up is hard to do.

13yo German girl accuses 18yo Afghan asylum seeker of rape

An Afghan asylum seeker has been accused of raping a 13-year-old girl in Germany. The 18-year-old man was arrested on Thursday last week after the girl contacted police to say he had attacked her inside a home in Esslingen, near Stuttgart. The man previously served a year in juvenile detention for attempted rape and was released in December last year under court supervision.

Police and prosecutors in Esslingen said the girl visited the man at his apartment in the city on Monday after becoming friends. It was in the apartment that he allegedly forced her to have sex against her will.

The girl saw the man in the city's downtown area again on Wednesday when he threatened her, before she reported the attack to police. He was arrested at his home the following day, Süddeutsche Zeitung reports. He has denied the allegations.

A spokesman of the German Interior Ministry said it is not possible to tell whether the man will be deported while the investigation is ongoing. But, the spokesman pointed out, deportation is mandatory for any asylum seeker handed a prison sentence of three years or more. Asylum seekers can also be deported if they have received a prison sentence between one and three years for crimes directed against another person's physical integrity or sexual self-determination.

British appeals court rejects extradition of accused hacker Lauri Love over woeful US prison conditions

Lauri Love
A British appeals court on Monday rejected demands from the U.S. government for the extradition of an accused British hacker, Lauri Love, citing the inability of U.S. prisons to humanely and adequately treat his medical and mental health ailments. Extradition to the U.S., the court ruled, would be "oppressive by reason of his physical and mental condition."

Rejecting the prosecutor's pleas that "the British courts should trust the United States to provide what it said it would provide" in order to secure Love's health and safety, the court instead invoked extensive medical and psychological testimony that conditions inside American prisons are woefully inadequate to treat Love's ailments. As a result, extradition and incarceration inside the U.S. prison system would exacerbate those health issues and produce a high risk of suicide.

Love, 33, is accused by the U.S. government of participating in the 2012 and 2013 hacking of the computer systems of various U.S. military agencies and private companies. The U.S. Justice Department, citing a confidential FBI source who claimed to have accessed chat rooms in which Love plotted with others on how to use the stolen data, indicted Love in three different states (New Jersey, New York, and Virginia) on felony hacking and theft charges. Love (pictured above after Monday's victory) was arrested in 2013 by British authorities and released on bail. Ever since, the U.S. government has sought his extradition from the U.K. for him to stand trial, and ultimately be imprisoned, in the U.S.

Here is what we know for sure:

Comment: As long as the Turks, their FSA, and the YPG are fighting against each other, the Syrian government will give its tacit approval - Russia too. But there are limits. It appears Turkey is testing them. Not a smart move.

Officers outside a property in Thuringia on Friday.
Special forces raided several addresses in north and east Germany on Friday, confiscating weapons from what they allege is an extremist right-wing group.

The raids, supported by officers from seven German states, took place in the early morning hours in Thuringia and Lower Saxony against 14 properties. At one location, a man who was not under suspicion attacked officers, lightly injuring two of them.

Along with guns and ammo, police seized drugs, propaganda material, mobile phones and computers. The guns were found at the home of a man who had a licence to carry them, but police said that state authorities would re-evaluate whether he was fit to hold a gun licence.

The raids were part of an investigation into 13 individuals accused of forming a criminal organization.
