Three cops in Arkansas were suspended after a video emerged that showed them brutally beating a detainee.

In the TikTok video posted on Twitter, one officer holds the man down to the ground as another repeatedly and relentlessly punches the man's head and a third forcibly nails him with his knee multiple times in a row.

At one point, the officer punching the man in the head lifts the man's head up from the ground and slams it back down into the cement sidewalk as the man tries to protect his head with his hands, the video shows.

Comment: Federal officials are now investigating. From NBC News:
State police and federal officials launched investigations into the use of force against a man by Arkansas law enforcement officers that was captured on viral video, officials said Monday.
...

The deputies and the officer involved were identified as Crawford County Sheriff's Deputies Zack King and Levi White and Mulberry Police Officer Thell Riddle, the sheriff's office revealed Monday.

At a news conference Monday, Arkansas Gov. Asa Hutchinson said the officers' conduct was "reprehensible."

"First of all, that is reprehensible conduct in which a suspect is beat in that fashion," he said. "We don't have all of the details, and certainly that suspect had a history of concern that was legitimate for the officers, but that response was not consistent with the training that they receive as certified officers with the Arkansas Law Enforcement Training Academy."

Hutchinson said that, in addition to a probe by Arkansas State Police, the U.S. Justice Department is also investigating.
...

The sheriff's department said that the suspect was cooperative at first but that the men ultimately ended up in a physical confrontation.

Damante said at a news conference Monday that the suspect, who wasn't known to police, as he was from another state, became violent when officers were about to take him into custody. He said his officers' account of the incident matched what the viral video showed.

Damante said his officers "admitted that they had to use force to subdue him."

He said there is dashcam video of the interaction from the Mulberry officer's vehicle, which was handed to state police.

"The dashcam does bring to light other things that happened there, that initiated, that wasn't caught on the citizen's camera," Damante said about the video.

The sheriff's deputies didn't have body cameras. Damante said he is trying to get body and dash cameras for the department.
...

He said that the FBI is expected to speak with state police Monday and that an internal investigation within the sheriff's office is underway.

The state investigators are focusing solely on the use of force at the store, and they will forward their conclusion, including possible recommended charges, to local prosecutors.

A detailed list of charges for which the suspect was booked, according to state police, includes: second-degree battery, resisting arrest, refusal to submit, possessing an instrument of crime, criminal trespass, criminal mischief, terroristic threatening and second-degree assault.

The terrorist recruit was tasked with killing a senior figure in the Indian leadership, law enforcement reported.

A person who allegedly plotted to blow himself up to kill a senior Indian politician was intercepted during transit through Russia, the Federal Security Service (FSB) reported on Monday.

The would-be suicide bomber was recruited in Turkey by the terrorist group Islamic State (IS, formerly ISIS), the statement said. The man was radicalized on social media and met a representative of IS in Istanbul to record a pledge of allegiance before going on a mission to India, the FSB said. Russia served as a transit nation for the trip, the agency said.

boston children's hospital
A psychologist at the Boston Children's Hospital claimed that children know they are transgender "seemingly from the womb," explaining that the gender clinic sees children as young as ages two and three.

A shocking video produced by the Boston Children's Hospital Gender Multispeciality Service features psychologist Kerry McGregor claiming that children may identify as transgender from the womb.


In the video on transgenderism, McGregor remarks "A good portion of children know ... seemingly from the womb." Some children identify as transgender "as soon as they can talk," she continues. "Kids know very very early," McGregor claims.


Comment: No, they don't. These people are insane.

'I am the state, the state is me': Tucker Carlson mocks Fauci's alleged lies about covid-19

fauci tucker carlson
Fox News host and Daily Caller co-founder Tucker Carlson mocked White House senior medical adviser Dr. Anthony Fauci's alleged false claims and inconsistencies about COVID-19.

Carlson noted that Fauci has made several incorrect conclusions about both the virus and the vaccine in an attempt to "give more power" to the Biden administration. "Tony Fauci has been consistent on one point, one point really only," Carlson said. "And that is that you need to give more power to the Biden administration. His patrons."

Fauci announced Monday that he will step down from his position at the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) and from advising the White House this upcoming December.

He played a segment of Fauci in July arguing there should have been "more stringent restrictions" imposed in order to prevent asymptomatic individuals from spreading the virus.

In China, latest Minions movie gets a new ending that promotes rule of law

Minions: The Rise of Gru
What's small, yellow, loves bananas and promotes the rule of law? A Minion, at least according to an edited version of the latest animated film featuring supervillain Gru and his army of tiny sidekicks being screened in China.

The fifth instalment of the lucrative "Despicable Me" franchise, "Minions: The Rise of Gru", premiered in China this month, several weeks after the film opened in United States cinemas.

But while the international version of the kung fu-filled family-friendly romp set in 1970s San Francisco tells the story of how the dastardly Gru cut his teeth as a tween criminal, filmgoers in China are treated to an alternative ending in which the good guys win.

A series of subtitled still images inserted into the credits sequence on mainland Chinese screens reassures audiences that police catch Gru's law-breaking mentor Wild Knuckles and lock him up for 20 years after a failed heist.

International viewers simply see Knuckles give police the slip by faking his death earlier in the film's concluding scenes, but in the Chinese version he puts his con artist skills to positive use in prison, where he follows his "love of acting" and sets up a theatrical troupe.

As for Gru, he "eventually became one of the good guys", devoted to raising his family, the Chinese ending says.


Comment: Plato approves.

France to hire 3,000 'green police' to improve investigation of environmental issues, medicine tracking, and bioterrorism

© REUTERS/Stephane MaheA firefighting truck works to contain a fire in Saint-Magne, as wildfires continue to spread in the Gironde region of southwestern France, August 11, 2022.
French Interior Minister Gérald Darmanin has announced plans to launch 3,000 "green gendarme positions" to improve the investigation proceedings in environmental issues - particularly in cases of arson.


Comment: Apparently the government has room in the budget for these new hires, despite the fact they won't address actual, critical issues like the looming food shortages, the energy crisis, and the country's tanking economy.


"The aim is to have gendarmes (police officers) trained in attacks on ecology in each gendarmerie brigade... It will be a revolution", the minister said on Sunday. This summer, "there were between 80 and 120 fires per day in France; to date we have carried out 26 arrests of suspected arsonists."


Comment: With so many fires, and just 26 arrests, it seems highly unlikely that these officers, who will likely be spread across the country, will make much difference.


Darmanin hopes that the move will "massively strengthen local and central authorities in the fight against damage to the environment."

In 2004, the Central Office to Tackle Environmental Crime (OCLAESP) was founded. In July, it led investigations into the great fire of Landiras in Gironde.

Comment: What are the chances that these 'green gendarmes' will instead be deployed against the average citizen breaking minor, and likely arbitrary, rules, meanwhile the biggest polluters, such as the national and international corporations, will continue getting away with the most egregious criminality?

It's notable that over in Russia they seem to have the right idea, with new legislation that will block profits of corporations who destroy the environment, and they've already followed through with a $2 billion fine against a corporation over a massive oil spill.

EU admits it applies double standards to Ukraine and Palestine

The EU's foreign-policy chief Josep Borrel has admitted that double standards permeate international relations, after being asked in an interview why Brussels was far more willing to support the people of Ukraine than the people of Gaza. The Middle East conflict is not in the EU's hands, he said, pointing the finger at the US.

"We are often criticized for double standards. But international politics is to a large degree about applying double standards. We do not use the same criteria for all problems," he told El Pais newspaper, as cited on Thursday.

Earlier in the interview, Borrell had said that supporting Kiev against Moscow was a "moral imperative" for Western nations.

"Resolving the situation with those people trapped in an open-air prison, which Gaza is, is not in the hands of the EU," the diplomat said. He called the squalid living conditions in Gaza "scandalous" and "a shame," but would not be drawn on the origins of the humanitarian crisis.

Comment: It's hierarchy that is important to EU, not the human cataclysm that has been ongoing for decades.

Ukraine is doing its best to "kill as many Russians" as possible, the nation's ambassador to Kazakhstan, Pyotr Vrublevsky, told local media outlets on Monday.

Speaking to a local blogger, Vrublevsky was asked to comment on the ongoing Ukraine conflict.
"What can I say ... We are trying to kill as many [Russians] as possible. The more Russians we kill now, the fewer our children will have to. That's it."
The Ukrainian envoy's remarks sparked anger in Russia, with Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova accusing Kiev of 'terrorist' policies. She wrote on Telegram:
"Only an ambassador of a terrorist regime can say such things. The Kiev Nazis have been killing people for eight years silently and blaming Moscow for everything, but now they are openly talking about their ethnic cleansing plans."

The 'Super Fat' social justice hierarchy

Like every identity in the social justice movement, simply delineating the oppressed and oppressor classes is no longer sufficient.

The drive for ever-greater victimhood requires a further step. Victims within the oppressed class are stratified by their degree of oppression based on the level of the particular characteristic in question.

For instance, light-skinned Persons of Color© are perceived to have greater privilege than their black counterparts.

Comment: el gato malo appears to throw his lot in with e.e. cummings, in that he doesn't believe much in punctuation or at all in capital letters. It's still a good post.


collins (who ran NIH) got out of dodge last year.

the heads of FDA vaccine division quit in quite vocal disgust and had a lot to say after they did.

birx got tossed for failure to follow her own recommendations. (and has gained no sense of irony since)

redfield ran like hell and handed dumpster fire of CDC to walensky who is now looking to "re-org" the agency because its manifold failures have become so public that even the NYT is dunking on them.

and now we get the confirmation of fauci flight.

truly the rats are leaving these ships in droves.
