At the end of a rulemaking process held mostly behind closed doors, state regulators this year asked the public about Oregon’s first effort in a decade to overhaul the rules for ousting unfit cops.
Three people from the activist group Empower Portland answered the call for feedback from Department of Public Safety Standards and Training. All said they wanted to see more expansive state oversight. Continue reading “Oregon is about to change how police are held accountable MAYBE!”
WEB Notes: This is an extremely under reported story. Look at that photo. Trump along with 55 leaders from other Muslim nations. I thought he did not like Muslims? I thought he was against Globalism? Wait, I forgot, Trump’s recent remark: “I’m a nationalist and a globalist” Basically, whatever will get the job done. He will say whatever it takes, just like everyone else before him. How about this so called “mid-east tour“?

World leaders, including Saudi King Salman bin Abdulaziz and US President Donald Trump, inaugurated the Global Center for Combating Extremism headquartered in Riyadh as the US-Islamic Summit came to a close on Sunday.
WEB Notes: As much as things change, they stay the same. Trump is doing the same thing Obama did. Why were these illegal sex offenders released on US soil? Their home nations did not want the bums that’s why. Imagine if we actually enforced our borders. Imagine if we did not provide funding to illegal immigrants? Imagine if we followed our Father’s Law for rape? Now these illegal creeps are back on the street and closer to harming the woman in your life. Thank your government for it and don’t forget to pay your taxes.

FRESNO, Calif. (KFSN) — The Federal government discovered Stuffed Pipe Smoke Shops in Fresno, Visalia, and Bakersfield were involved in the sales and distribution of synthetic cannabinoids, but these drugs, in a variety of packaging, were deadly.
“There have been deaths reported, serious bodily injury, and there are extreme psychological effects from taking the drug,” said Karen Escobar, Asst. US Attorney. Continue reading “Bust of a Fresno smoke shop will help the Fresno County Sheriff’s Office buy new helicopter”

If you thought politics in America could not get more ridiculous, have no fear: because of the “thin blue line,” we keep hearing so much about, some police demand to be the “only ones” with guns. It’s like history never happened and democide doesn’t exist. But what’s also startling is that “top cops” are proving that they are subject to the whims of the political elite. Continue reading “Anti-Gun Cops Think They Are The “Only Ones” Who Have The Right To Guns”

Days after a gas line linked to an Anadarko Petroleum well ignited a deadly home blast in Colorado, the company’s chief executive said the “terrible tragedy has left all of us with heavy hearts.” But even as investigators were picking through the wreckage, the company moved to fight a new bill that would have forced it to tell Colorado homeowners how close they live to oil and gas operations.
State records show while CEO Al Walker said the “families and their loved ones are in our thoughts and prayers,” Anadarko was deploying its lobbyists to press Colorado lawmakers to block a transparency measure as it pursued plans for hundreds of new wells in the northeastern part of the state.

The world’s first robot policeman has officially joined Dubai’s police force. While it’s not exactly the Robocop from the movie, officers in the United Arab Emirates may want to get used to them, as the bots may soon account for a quarter of their colleagues.
The autonomous Robocop entered the line of duty on Sunday by greeting guests and patrolling the halls at the three-day Gulf Information Security Expo and Conference (GISEC). Plans are in place to have the machine on the streets in popular Dubai areas when the expo ends on Tuesday evening. Continue reading “Dubai’s first ‘Robocop’ begins patrolling streets”
AUSTIN, Texas (AP) — A transgender “bathroom bill” reminiscent of one in North Carolina that caused a national uproar now appears to be on a fast-track to becoming law in Texas — though it may only apply to public schools.
A broader proposal mandating that virtually all transgender people in the country’s second-largest state use public restrooms according to the gender on their birth certificates sailed through the Texas Senate months ago. A similar measure had stalled in the House, but supporters late Sunday night used an amendment to tack bathroom limits onto a separate and otherwise unrelated bill covering school emergency operation plans for things like natural disasters.

MILWAUKEE (AP) — Milwaukee County Sheriff David Clarke, who says he’s been appointed an assistant secretary in the Department of Homeland Security, has denied he plagiarized content in his master’s thesis on homeland security, while the Naval Postgraduate School confirmed Sunday that it’s reviewing the allegations.
The denial followed a CNN report Saturday saying Clarke, who built a following among conservatives with his provocative social media presence and strong support of President Donald Trump, failed to properly attribute his sources at least 47 times in his 2013 thesis, titled “Making U.S. security and privacy rights compatible.” Continue reading “DHS hopeful Clarke denies plagiarism in master’s thesis”
(Reuters) – Dozens of students walked out of Notre Dame University’s commencement exercise on Sunday to protest a speech by U.S. Vice President Mike Pence, who warned graduates of the prestigious Catholic school against suppressing free speech.
The protesters, among the thousands of graduates and guests assembled in the university’s football stadium, stood up when the conservative Republican began his speech and streamed out of the ceremony, to the jeers of some of those who remained.

The Pentagon has generated almost $6 billion over the past seven years by charging the armed forces excessive prices for fuel and has used the money — called the “bishop’s fund” by some critics — to bolster mismanaged or underfunded military programs, documents show.
Since 2015, the Defense Department has tapped surpluses from its fuel accounts for $80 million to train Syrian rebels, $450 million to shore up a prescription-drug program riddled with fraud and $1.4 billion to cover unanticipated expenses from the war in Afghanistan, according to military accounting records.

MEXICO CITY—“Kill him! Kill him! Kill him,” chanted a mob of roughly 100 angry Mexicans in Cancun, the popular tourist destination on the coast of Quintana Roo, Mexico. “I’m going to decapitate you,” one man shouted at Aleksei Viktorovich Makeev, as the bloodied 42-year-old Russian resident of Mexico fled the interior of his home for a nearby rooftop while the mob pelted him with large rocks and jeered. When Makeev finally collapsed on the rooftop, covered in his own blood—and that of an unarmed teenager whom he stabbed moments before, after the teen attempted to enter the Russian’s apartment—the townspeople finally let him be, as reporters livestreaming from the scene claimed that Makeev had died.
