Why Did Michael Byrd Fire Just A Single Shot?
Posted By: LoveYourCountry, 8/31/2021 8:54:46 AM
I ask this question for two reasons: I have seen enough videos and read about enough officer-civilian interactions to know that the act of subduing a lethal threat requires several rounds. If an intruder entered my home and threatened my wife and child, I would shoot until I was able to ensure the target was immobilized. As to the first statement, there are plenty of examples of police officers firing multiple shots at a suspected threat. In the past year, the American public has been thoroughly able to parse through the shootings of criminals like Breonna Taylor and Antonio Brown, to name just two examples.

A shooting this week in the city of Linköping was the 47th fatal shooting so far this year, matching Sweden’s record-high number of shootings that took place in 2020.
This year has continued Sweden’s trend of seeing at least 40 fatal shootings per year since 2017, according to Swedish police statistics. Much of the firearms violence has been linked to organised gang crime which remains a major problem throughout the country. Manne Gerell, associate professor of criminology at Malmö University, spoke about the trend of fatal gun crime, telling broadcaster SVT: “It has varied which part of the country has had the highest level,
The current administration just announced that they are going to provide 500 million test kits for Covid. These kits will be distributed to the general public somehow and will test for something in some way associated with Covid.
Pardon my skepticism, but I have to wonder just what they will be testing, and what will they do with the results. After all, the CDC recently withdrew their request to the FDA for emergency use authorization for the PCR Covid test. For most of the last two years, this test has been considered the Gold Standard for distinguishing between an active Covid infection,
An online poll conducted by the staunchly left Guardian newspaper seeking nominations for “Person of the Year” has been turned off sparking speculation it was shut down when author J.K. Rowling took the lead.
The poll was launched on December 15 and posed a simple question: “Who would be your 2021 person of the year, and why?” It can be found here. As of Wednesday it was no longer live, sparking furious speculation from a number of sources that the fact author J.K. Rowling was such a dominating choice the outlet had no option left other than to stop accepting nominations.
It’s unclear to me why any families would be planning a tourist trip to New York City with all of the garbage going on there these days, but there are reportedly still people making the journey. For those who do so with younger children, an unpleasant surprise was awaiting them. Anyone attempting to go out for dinner at a restaurant or most any other indoor venue with children between the ages of five and eleven found that they were being turned away unless they provided proof that their children had received at least one vaccination against COVID.
Major General Hossein Salami, commander of Iran’s paramilitary Islamic Revolution Guard Corps (IRGC), on Sunday threatened Israel’s leaders he is ready to “cut off their hands” if they threaten attacks of any sort.
He spoke at the conclusion of an exercise code-named the Great Prophet 17 (Payambare Azam 17) in which Iran tested a slew of new missiles, the Tehran Times reports.Claiming the missile part of the drill is carrying “very clear and obvious messages,” General Salami said, “The message of this drill is a serious, real, and field warning to threats by the Zionist regime’s officials
The creator of Father Ted has said that online “trolls” and “conmen” have used UK Hate Speech rules to weaponise the police, and that he hopes the recent court ruling on police recording of non-crime ‘hate-incidents’ would herald the start of major change.
Graham Linehan — the creator of legendary Channel 4 sitcoms Father Ted and Black Books — has said that UK rules regarding non-crime hate incidents have been used by online “conmen” and “trolls” to weaponise the police.
Linehan’s comments come after UK Home Secretary Priti Patel claimed the UK government would rework police guidelines surrounding the recording of such hate-incidents, in such a way as to respect free speech.
On the heels of its decision to postpone many of its games through December, the NHL is also now contemplating withdrawing its players from the Beijing Olympics, all because of its concerns over the coronavirus.
The National Hockey League had intended to take a three-week break in February to make room to send its players to Beijing for China’s “genocide” Olympics. Still, after delaying as many as 40 games this year over fears about the coronavirus, the make-up games have put the Olympics in doubt.
More Woke Companies To Avoid: List #4
13 replies
The epidemic of wokeness can infect companies in any industry. We’ve already seen it contaminate companies from the transportation, restaurant, banking, and online retail industries. Wokeness is all around us, and it’s unacceptable. Historically, many of these organizations are some of our favorite companies and brands who gladly take our money while trampling on our conservative values. Ceasing doing business with certain companies on our list may be difficult, if not impossible for some of us. But at the very least we must understand who these companies are if we want to have an impact.
An advocacy group has written a letter to Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg calling for greater equity in car crash dummy tests, claiming that the male body has been far too favored, leading to needless deaths of women.
The letter from Vehicle Equity Rules in Transportation (VERITY NOW), co-chaired by former Republican Congresswoman Susan Molinary, claimed that vehicle crash tests have not adequately taken into account of the harmful effects that collisions have on female bodies. The letter stated:
President Joe Biden’s administration is flying illegal aliens, previously deported by former President Donald Trump’s administration, back to the United States.
This week, National Public Radio (NPR) reported that two previously deported illegal aliens, Claudio Rojas of Argentina and Jean Montrevil of Haiti, have since been brought back to the U.S. after they claimed that the Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agency retaliated against them for their open borders advocacy.
Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis (R) is seeking millions in his proposed budget package to transport illegal aliens and border crossers out of the state.
Late last week, as Breitbart News reported, DeSantis announced six proposals to cut illegal immigration in Florida by crippling the funding sources of non-governmental organizations (NGOs) and corporations that help resettle border crossers for the federal government.
DeSantis also signed an emergency order that bans the issuance or renewal of all state licenses to Florida Department of Children and Families (DCF) facilities that provide services to Unaccompanied Alien Children (UACs).
#6: Vice President of the United States – Kamala Harris
Parker: I think I should preface our entire Sunday Six by noting that every single member of the Biden administration could arguably be placed in the first spot. The six we cover are guilty of heinous crimes against individual life and liberty, but what’s most amazing is that we have left off such names as Mayor Pete and the most unrecognizable Secretary of State in modern times, Anthony Blinken. The Biden administration is simply the worst collection of immature, stupid, selfish, and destructive human beings ever assembled in American leadership.

Representative Bennie Thompson (D-MS) said Sunday on CNN’s “State of the Union” that former President Donald Trump “did nothing” to stop the January 6 riot at the U.S. Capitol as we came “perilously close to losing our democracy.”Thompson said, “Let me say that what we have been able to ascertain is that we came perilously close to losing our democracy as we come to learn it. Had those insurrectionists been successful, we are not certain what we would have had, had it not been for the brave men and women who protected the Capitol in spite of being woefully outnumbered.

Retired General Steven M. Anderson warned of Donald Trump supporters in the military while calling them a threat from within, and advised them to stop listening to 'The Pillow Guy' - Trump ally and MyPillow CEO Mike Lindell. Gen. Anderson, who spoke to CNN about the upcoming 2024 elections and the threat of another possible insurrection, called Lindell a major source of misinformation while adding that Trump supporters must get educated on civics and political discourse. 'There's a threat within,' the retired general told the network. 'We've got some people that just haven’t been educated. They haven't been found out, and they've grown in power,

her party faces 'bloodbath' in 2022, conveys 'weakness' 34 replies
Recently ousted Democratic Nassau County (N.Y.) Executive Laura Curran told "Watters' World" on Saturday that her party is conveying weakness and faces a "bloodbath" in the 2022 midterms if it doesn't step up.
LAURA CURRAN: Unfortunately, my party, the Democratic Party, just conveys weakness right now. It almost feels like elder abuse with what's going on with President Biden. He has a hard time putting a sentence together. I think everyone gets nervous listening to him talk, he's going to mess up. What we need always, and especially now, is someone who exudes confidence and competence. Someone who sets a reassuring tone.
The head of OneAmerica insurance said the death rate is up a stunning 40% from pre-pandemic levels among working-age people. “We are seeing, right now, the highest death rates we have seen in the history of this business – not just at OneAmerica,” the company’s CEO Scott Davison said during an online news conference this week. “The data is consistent across every player in that business.” (Snip)
Davison said the increase in deaths represents “huge, huge numbers,” and that’s it’s not elderly people who are dying, but “primarily working-age people 18 to 64” who are the employees of companies that have group life insurance plans
Airline executives are sounding louder alarms about the impending rollout of 5G service, warning that the cellphone frequencies could lead to 350,000 delays each year by jamming their in-flight systems. The ultra-fast so-called C-Band service is set to roll out nationally in big cities on Jan. 5, meaning any rules to limit its strength to address airline safety concerns need to happen soon.
WASHINGTON— Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin said Sunday he has tested positive for COVID-19 and was experiencing mild symptoms while quarantining at home.In a statement Sunday night, Austin said he plans to attend key meetings and discussions virtually in the coming week “to the degree possible.” He said Deputy Secretary Kathleen Hicks would represent him in appropriate matters.“I have informed my leadership team of my positive test result, as well as the President,” Austin said. “My staff has begun contact tracing and testing of all those with whom I have come into contact over the last week.”Austin, 68, said he was fully vaccinated and received a booster in October.
Vulnerable women who are walking home at night could be protected from predators by high-tech drones under plans to be submitted to the Government. The AeroGuard drones would use AI technology and be fitted with a powerful spotlight and thermal cameras in order to scare off would-be attackers. According to the Sunday Telegraph, a woman who is in fear of an attack would be able to use an app to summon the drone which would then arrive within four minutes.(Snip)
Drone Defence, the company behind the technology, said the drones, which will cost £35,000, will be trialled at Nottingham University to protect students and staff on campus.
Pity the poor patient who is suffering with serious symptoms and needs to obtain a COVID test — in some cases, where early intervention would be indicated as a matter of life or death; in others, as a precondition of an urgently-needed procedure. Weep for the worker whose employer requires he be tested regularly, or else risk losing paid hours or outright termination. Cry for the caregiver who already takes time out of her day to tend to someone too weak to care for himself, and who must now spend additional hours waiting in interminable lines for that crucial nasal swabbing.
