"The victim’s brother contradicted aspects of the police account of the shooting and said his mother had been restraining her son when officers fired their guns."
@SteveThompson I have police in my family. They’re trained to shoot at the torso because trick Shooting can fail and could cause civilian and police casualties. 🤷♀️
@SteveThompson no. The torso is the biggest part of your body which includes the heart and lungs and abdomen. They aren’t trained to kill but to stop the aggressor. They aim at the torso because hitting it will stop the aggressor
A new airship production site in Doncaster will help to create a fleet of “green” aircrafts by Hybrid Air Vehicles (HAV) set for take off in 2028.
The City of Doncaster Council and HAV have revealed plans for a flagship Airlander 10 production centre at Carcroft Common.
The Airlander 10 is described as “ultra-low emissions” and “the world’s most efficient large aircraft” by HAV with a top speed of around 100mph. https://www.hybridairvehicles.com/
BREAKING: Federal court dismisses lawsuit from #Pennsylvania Republicans alleging that President Biden and Gov. Josh Shapiro's (D) efforts to expand voter registration in the state violated the U.S. Constitution.
If I had any investment in NBC/MSNBC, I'd be disturbed. Of all the available sensible political voices in this country, even abroad, to hire not just a GOP voice that has its entire Fox News network at its disposal, but an actual propagandist.
"The move means McDaniel will join the same NBC and MSNBC programs she’s spent the last half decade skewering, including calling its analysts 'primetime propagandists' less than a year ago."
@SteveThompson the minute Rona McDaniel appears on my @nbcnews feed I will delete their app. She conspired to overthrow our government and therefore is a traitor
Measles was once eradicated in the US but lunatic anti-vaxxers like RFK Jr. brought it back. Get a vax if you never had one. Vaccinate your kids. Measles is NOT a benign disease: it can cause deafness, blindness, encephalitis and death.
@MEActNOW it also leaves you with a weaker immune system allowing other diseases to appear. When I was as a toddler I got Rubella. Three weeks later I got chickenpox. This was before vaccines existed for measles
@makkhorn Since Trump plans to deport everyone he can including legal citizens who are children of non citizens using the National Guard I’d think running ads out west might change some minds.
The one thing I have learned to count on lately is cable news providing polling & hot takes suggesting that black and hispanic voters will somehow be responsible for re-electing Donald Trump.
Would you want Facebook to know if you visited a suicide hotline?
Our investigation from June 2023 found that over 30 suicide hotline websites sent visitor data to Facebook. That story has now become a finalist for a NIHCM award!
