#California to pay $24 million for death of man pinned by CHP officers - Los Angeles Times
The payout represents the largest civil rights settlement agreement in California history, second in the U.S. only to the $27-million settlement in George Floyd's killing, said one of the attorneys.
Доносы, военная подготовка, парты героев. Как изменилась российская школа с начала вторжения в Украину
An excellent piece by Natalia Zotova of BBCRussian on an atmosphere of #denunciations, mandatory military training for children and 'desks of heroes' - how the #Russian#school has changed since the beginning of the #invasion of #Ukraine
Russian Brigade Turns Tail & Runs Away From Bakhmut!
Quote: "Prigozhin's report about the escape of the 72nd Separate Motorized Rifle Brigade of the Russian Armed Forces from the vicinities of Bakhmut and the "500 corpses" of Russians who remained there is true. The Ukrainian 3rd Assault Brigade is grateful for the publicity of our success at the front." #Ukraine️ #Russia#Russian#Putin#EU#NATO#Zelensky#war#news#Moscow#USA#UK#Germany#Poland
U.S. and international authorities have disabled a piece of advanced malware that #Russian intelligence services used to steal secrets from U.S. and #NATO countries for more than 20 years, Justice Department officials announced Tuesday.
Yevgeny Prigozhin, the financier of the Wagner Private Military Company, stated by May 10 he would hand over his mercenaries' positions in the city of Bakhmut to Kadyrovites, the troops of Ramzan Kadyrov, Head of the Chechen Republic, subordinated to Russia’s Armed Forces. #Ukraine️ #Russia#Russian#Putin#EU#NATO#Zelensky#war#news#Moscow#USA#UK#Germany#Poland
The #Ukrainian journalist Denis Gorokhovsky posted a video of the incident, which shows a #Russian delegate grabbing the Ukrainian flag out of the hands of Verkhovna Rada deputy Oleksandr Marikovsky, causing a scuffle between the two delegates.
Many people seem convinced the #drone attack on the Kremlin was a false flag operation. I have doubts because:
The incident is embarrassing for #Russia's air defense. It's weird to make a false flag operation that makes yourself look incompetent and the enemy look strong.
The Russian media have a pretty calm reaction. It doesn't look like a coordinated information operation.
The claim that the drone was defeated with electronic countermeasures doesn't fit the video.
But the stranges aspect of this was the men climbing up the side of the dome. If they were NOT #Putin's people, and NOT there because of the impending attack, then who could they have been?
The idea of #AntiWar#Russian citizens attacking the #Kremlin doesn't make sense, because attacking would only enflame the war further.
Most importantly, how could ANYONE have gotten past Kremlin security if they didn't belong there? I sure can't imagine anyone climbing the WH roof without permission.
My theory: I think Putin was hoping for propaganda images that didn't have his people in them, but that failed. He also probably wanted a burning flag-- something to really rile up the patriotic populace. But the flag wasn't hit.
This was probably a failed propaganda op they were hoping had gone unnoticed, and after the images from nearby closed circuit cameras showed up on their internet, they had to admit to something.
Satellite images and radio communication reveal how 3 Russian fleet ships where operating at the location of the Nord Stream explosions in the weeks prior to the terrorist act.
The ships had turned off their AIS positioning systems to hide their movements, but Danish media DR has optained satellite photos which prove that the Russian ships anchored up at Nord stream. According to DR the identified ships have deep sea drone usage capabilities.
