Hundreds of military installations have either known or likely water contamination caused by runoff from firefighting foam used in response to vehicle and aircraft accidents, according to the Environmental Working Group.

Using Defense Department data, the organization built an interactive map of 305 sites, which are found in all 50 states. Each map dot opens up to information and links on perfluorooctane sulfonate or perfluorooctanoic acid, known as PFAS.

Philadelphia, PA — Earlier this month in Florida, a tragedy unfolded when two armed thugs hijacked a UPS truck with the driver still inside. The chase ended in a hail of gunfire as police failed to follow any safety protocols, used innocent bystanders as human shields, and two innocent people were killed as a result. A single variable in this situation, however, could’ve drastically changed the outcome. Had the UPS driver been armed, he may still be alive, along with the innocent bystander who was also killed in the unnecessary crossfire.  Continue reading “FedEx Driver Uses Gun to Kill Armed Robber and Prevents Another UPS-Like Hijacking”

Waverly, OH — Some police officers in America are so prone to violence that they cannot resist the urge to bash in the faces of anyone who rubs them the wrong way. As the following video shows, even completely restrained and harmless individuals restrained in chairs are not safe from this tendency of cops snapping into violent rages.

A Pike County Sheriff’s deputy was allowed to quietly resign earlier this month after being caught on video pepper spraying a man who was completely restrained in a restraint chair and then punching him multiple times in the face.  Continue reading “Shocking Video Shows Cop Torture Restrained Man, Punching and Pepper Spraying Him Repeatedly”
