Lawsuit Filed Over Blendon Township Police Murder of Ta'Kiya Young: 7 Month Pregnant Black Woman Shot Through the Windshield as She Slowly Drove Toward White Cop, Posed No Threat

Two years after Ta'Kiya Young was a black woman who was shot and killed by a Blendon Township police officer, the officer's murder case remains unresolved.

Sunday was the second anniversary of Young's death. Last week, her family filed a wrongful death lawsuit against Officer Connor Grubb.

Young, 21, was shopping at a Kroger on Sunbury Road when an employee accused her of stealing alcohol and flagged down two nearby officers.

• Body camera footage showed the officers approaching her car and telling her to get out, with Grubb standing in front and pointing a gun.

• Young then accelerated forward toward Grubb, who fired a shot that struck her in the chest. She died after being transported to St. Ann's Hospital.

• Young was pregnant, and her unborn daughter, due that November, did not survive.

Nearly a year later, Grubb was indicted by a Franklin County grand jury on counts of murder, involuntary manslaughter and felonious assault.

• He pleaded not guilty, posted a $20,000 bond and was on paid administrative leave until this summer.

Two years after the shooting, Grubb has still not stood trial.

• His first trial date was set for last month, but a judge accepted his defense's request to delay.

• It's now scheduled for Nov. 3 in Franklin County Common Pleas Court after a judge denied a request to move it.

The wrongful death suit alleges Grubb's "reckless and intentional conduct" violated Young's rights and caused her "preventable" death.

• The suit also names the Kroger Corporation and an unidentified Kroger employee as defendants.

• "There was no immediate threat to any officer, no weapon found, and no justification for the use of deadly force," the suit reads. "Ms. Young was executed for a minor and unverified shoplifting allegation, a tragic and inexcusable example of police misconduct and abuse of power."

Dogmatic Simpleton Jeanine Pirro Wants to Prosecute “Some” 12-year-olds as Adults in DC (so long as They are Black)

Jeanine Pirro is A ZEALOT ADVOCATE. Ironically, ELITE LIBERALS HAVE BEEN TRYING TO DO THIS FOR YEARS.

ACCORDING TO FUNKTIONARY:

zeal – energy that compels, encourages and embraces a continuous momentum of change, investing in the flow of the current, rather than resisting it. 2) energy that gravitates towards letting go, rather than holding on. Zeal is that which is fit for wise men and women but is found most commonly in fools, ideologues, and dogmatic simpletons. (See: “Letting-Go”)

Zealot – one who suffers from the lot of being shackled with unthinking patriotic or religious dogma. 2) one with fire (heat, passion) without light (wisdom and overstanding). A zealot is one who indiscriminately misapplies or abuses zeal.

From [HERE] D.C.’s new top prosecutor, U.S. Attorney Jeanine Pirro, is seeking more authority to prosecute young people as adults in D.C.’s court system. Amid pressure from the White House to bring down crime, Pirro told the News4 I-Team she wants to prosecute suspects as young as 12 as adults.

Pirro zeroed in quickly on the idea that she didn’t have enough tools when it comes to prosecuting young people. In a sit-down interview, the I-Team asked if she believes the D.C. Council will give her those tools.

“No, and, in fact, what I look to do is to amend some of the outrageous, pro-defendant, anti-victim laws that have been passed,” she said.

Pirro spoke about “young punks going out assaulting people, shooting people.”

“The time for coddling young people – 14, 15, 16, 17 – is over. And it's time that we lowered the age of criminal responsibility,” she said.

Pirro said she thinks efforts to rehabilitate young people are “great” but “there's got to be consequences. There's got be deterrence. There's got to be punishments,” she said. “We got 12 and 13-year-olds who are trying to break into a car while a woman is in it, threatening her, telling her ‘Open the door’ while her boyfriend's getting the hell kicked out of him.”

She was referencing the attempted carjacking case involving former DOGE employee Edward Coristine, her office said.

D.C. law would prevent Pirro from prosecuting 12 and 13-year-olds as adults. The I-Team asked, would she want to prosecute a 12-year-old as an adult?

“Sure. I have. As a DA, I have. To me, age is a context. It doesn't determine what the consequence should be. Hey, in criminal court, we can give you rehabilitation. A judge can do all that. He can give your probation. But there's gotta be a record. There's gotta an accessible record. And there's got to be accountability. And right now there is not,” she said. [MORE]

Israel Bombs Hospital, Murders Journalists, Medics, Dozens more Across Gaza

From [HERE] Israel has struck Nasser Hospital in the south of the Gaza Strip, killing at least 21 people, including five journalists, as well as medics and rescue workers, in the latest deliberate attack on civilians and the besieged enclave’s decimated health system.

Monday’s attack, which killed journalists who worked for Al Jazeera, the Reuters and Associated Press (AP) news agencies, and others, was among the deadliest of a multitude of Israeli strikes that have targeted both hospitals and media workers over the course of the nearly two-year genocidal assault.

It comes as Israel widens its offensive to heavily populated areas and urban centres, including Gaza City, increasing the already heightened peril for the population.

The first strike of the “double-tap” attack, where one strike is followed by a second soon after, hit the top floor of a building at Nasser Hospital. Minutes later, as journalists and rescuers in orange vests rushed up an external staircase, a second projectile hit, said Dr Ahmed al-Farra, the head of the paediatrics department.

Among the journalists killed were Al Jazeera’s Mohammad Salama, Reuters cameraman Hussam al-Masri, Mariam Abu Daqqa, a freelance journalist working for AP at the time, as well as Ahmed Abu Aziz and Moaz Abu Taha.

Al Jazeera’s Tareq Abu Azzoum, reporting from Deir el-Balah, said the attack has “sent the entire area into an absolute sense of chaos and panic”.

“Not only for passers-by or people living in the vicinity of the hospital, but for the patients themselves, who are receiving treatment in one of the areas that must be protected under … international humanitarian law,” Abu Azzoum said. [MORE]

Ego Shining: McNegro Wes Moore isn’t on Video saying 'Trump is the Greatest President,' but the Nations Only Black Governor is Caught on Camera Engaging in Master-Servant Relations, Brown-Nosing

While speaking to reporters at the Oval Office on Monday, President Donald Trump claimed that Maryland Gov. Wes Moore (D) told him last year that he had been “the greatest president” of Moore’s lifetime.

But the possible 2028 presidential candidate quickly dispelled the claim, saying in a radio interview hours later that he never told Trump that.

“I’m a person who takes my integrity very seriously, and I spent the past six months before that election campaigning as to why I did not think that he should be the next president of the United States,” Moore told WBAL Radio. “So when I say that conversation never happened, that imaginary conversation never happened, I mean that conversation never happened.”

According to FUNKTIONARY:

ego-shine – the act of someone flattering another for the purposes of immediate or future gain. 2) a higher, more sophisticated form of brown-nosing—remember what egos are like? Scuff Daddy shines your ego—leaving you puffed-up or buffed-up.

Filling the Jails with Black People: New Study Finds 46% of All Youth Locked Up are Black (despite being only 15% of all youth) and Black Youth are 5.6X more Likely to be Incarcerated than White Kids

The Sentencing Project released a series of briefs revealing a disturbing resurgence in youth incarceration and widening racial disparities as of 2023–just as the Trump Administration calls for increased criminalization of youth. Reporting from the Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention (OJJDP) showed the first consecutive annual increase in the one-day count of youth incarceration since 2000. The findings, compiled in three newly released briefs underscore the urgent need for systemic reform in youth justice practices nationwide.

Key findings include:

Black Youth Incarceration

• 46% of youth in placement are Black, even though Black youth comprise only 15% of all youth in the United States

• Black youth are 5.6 times as likely to be incarcerated than white youth– and the Black/white racial disparities in youth incarceration grew more than 10% in 23 states.

• Nebraska has the highest Black youth incarceration rate, the second-highest Black/white disparity, and the third-fastest growing disparity over the past decade.

• West Virginia ranks second in Black youth incarceration.

Latino Youth Incarceration

• Latino youth are at least twice as likely to be incarcerated than white youth in 11 states.

• The Latino/white disparity rate in youth incarceration grew more than 10% in 13 states over the last ten years.

• West Virginia has the highest Latino youth incarceration rate.

• Latino youth were at least three times as likely to be held in placement in Connecticut, Massachusetts, New Jersey, Utah, and South Carolina compared to their white peers.

Tribal Youth Incarceration

• Tribal youth are almost four times as likely to be incarcerated than white youth.

• The Tribal/white disparity rate in youth incarceration has grown more than 10% in eight states with significant Tribal populations.

• South Dakota leads the nation in Tribal youth incarceration, ranks third in its Tribal/white disparity, and has the third-fastest-growing disparity.

• Minnesota has the highest Tribal/white disparity and ranks third in Tribal youth incarceration.

• Tribal youth were at least ten times as likely to be held in placement as white youth in Minnesota, North Dakota, South Dakota, and Wisconsin. [MORE]

Additionally, a new Prison Policy Initiative report provides the most up-to-date picture of how many youth are detained and committed in the U.S., highlighting the persistent overincarceration of Black and Indigenous youth in a system that, in recent decades, has made great strides in reducing youth confinement overall. Youth Confinement: The Whole Pie 2025 explores the conditions facing 31,900 kids today — most of whom are held in youth prisons and jails — and offers data on youth confinement by offense type in all 50 states.

Over the past 25 years, the number of youth in confinement in the U.S. has fallen by more than 70 percent — impressive progress compared to the adult criminal legal system, whose populations have changed very little overall in that same period. Nevertheless, the U.S. still confines youth at a rate more than twice the global average, and its juvenile legal system mirrors the adult system in many alarming ways:

• Severe racial disparities. 47% of boys and 39% of girls in juvenile facilities are Black — a level of disparity that has actually worsened in recent years. And even excluding youth held in Indian country facilities, Indigenous children make up 3% of girls and 2% of boys in juvenile facilities, despite comprising less than 1% of all youth nationally.

• Large numbers of youth held pretrial or for minor offenses. Nearly 9,000 youth today are locked up before they’ve had a trial, and thousands are in detention for minor, low-level offenses. Select states — such as Indiana, which accounts for almost one-quarter of kids locked up for running away; and Texas and California, which hold 26% of kids confined for technical violations of parole — contribute heavily to this problem.

• Prison-like conditions. While the number of kids in large facilities (holding 100 youth or more) has fallen steeply in the last few years, nearly 4 out of every 5 confined kids are held in youth or adult prisons and jails — an increase since 2017, when 65% of confined youth were held in such places.

NAACP Urges Legislature to Pass Stalling Reparations Bills

The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, California-Hawaii State Conference (CA/HI NAACP), is urging the Legislature to pass two reparations bills authored by state Sen. Akilah Weber Pierson (D-San Diego), chair of the California Legislative Black Caucus (CLBC). 

The bills — Senate Bill (SB) 518 and SB) 437 – were assigned to the “Suspense File” after review in the Assembly Appropriations Committee. 

In the California Legislature, any bill that would potentially cost the state more than $50,000 from the General Fund or $150,000 from special funds is automatically sent to the Suspense File for further consideration at a special hearing. 

Rick L. Callender, President of the NAACP Cal-Hi State Conference, said the bills are critical for advancing racial and social justice in California and are a “moral and constitutional imperative.” 

“For generations, Black Californians have carried the weight of systemic harm with no redress. These bills offer the state a chance to begin making that right,” Callender said. 

“The NAACP has long demanded reparations for the descendants of slavery,” Callender continued.  “California must lead with courage, not caution, and move these bills forward without another delay.”  

SB 518 proposes the establishment of an agency to implement state-level reparations for eligible descendants of enslaved individuals.  SB 437 authorizes California State University (CSU) to use genealogical records to determine eligibility for initiatives benefiting descendants of enslaved persons. [MORE]

Piece and Freedumb Lover Trump's Executive Order Prohibiting Flag Burning Is Unconstitutional

From [HERE] President Donald Trump issued an executive order prohibiting the burning of the American flag on Monday. There's a big problem with the order, though—one that Trump even acknowledged in his press conference touting the E.O. Flag burning is clearly protected by the First Amendment, and the Supreme Court has twice affirmed that this is so.

Moreover, any administration that purports to care about freedom of speech should easily reach the conclusion that criminalizing provocative yet nonviolent acts of political expression is a violation of this principle, even if the constitutional issue was not so cut and dry.

It's understandable why people don't like flag burning. The flag is a visual representation of the principles upon which America was founded, and when it's disrespected, many Americans take it as a sign that those values are being treated with contempt.

"Flag burning, all over the country they're burning flags," lamented Trump, as he signed the order.

Free speech, though, is among the most fundamental American values of all. The right of Americans to speak their minds is enshrined in the First Amendment; importantly, this right does not apply solely to benign, polite, socially acceptable speech. As one hundred years of Supreme Court jurisprudence has made clear, the First Amendment also protects hateful speech, wrongful speech, angry speech, criticism of the government, and so on. There are some exceptions to the First Amendment, but they are incredibly narrow—and importantly, they do not include flag-burning.

That's because the Supreme Court ruled on this very issue in the landmark 1989 case Texas v. Johnson, which overturned 48 state laws prohibiting desecration of the American flag. In response, Congress passed a federal law that prohibited flag burning, and the following year, the Supreme Court reached the exact same conclusion in United States v. Eichman. If the state-level bans are unconstitutional, and the ban implemented by Congress is unconstitutional, then you can pretty safely bet that the executive order version is even more obviously unconstitutional.

Liberals Support Slave Labor: Illegal immigration is a horror show of exploitation and human misery

From [HERE] Decades after men like Cesar Chavez thought they broke the back of Big Ag, which was using Mexican and other labor to make huge profits, little has changed. I just got an email from Amazon/Whole Foods saying some of the prices on my weekly standard delivery order are going up due to “increasing labor costs.” In the agriculture sector, 76 percent percent of the exploited persons are immigrants, and nearly half of all victims are from Mexico.

And that touches the third rail of importing cheap labor to the United States, the actual slave trade, which preceded mass immigration. Call it racist to bypass the forced nature of this “immigration,” but the parameters are terribly similar. Both involve people being denied basic rights and protections, both situations involve exploitation—long hours, little or no pay, unsafe conditions, and both enslaved people and illegal alien workers are in vulnerable positions, often unable to leave or seek help safely (such as trafficked aliens). It is certainly not the same, but the cheap, exploitable labor that drives prostitution and farm work in modern America has the same basis as the cheap, exploitable labor which drove the antebellum global agrarian economy.

The pool of vulnerable labor is by necessity large, with some 18.6 million million illegal aliens currently in the U.S. Yet demanding even more immigration, and playing cops and robbers with ICE, is a key platform for the Democratic party today. So what are they fighting for?

They are for the same base of exploitable labor that has been a part of the United States from near the Founding, only this time dressed up with the sanction of modern liberal morality. The farm workers the Democrats celebrate as hard-working men of the soil are just people imported for their vulnerability. Those 19th-century immigrants were sacrificing all for a better future by laboring in some of the worst sweatshops of the century (my maternal grandfather was an unschooled child laborer in a candy factory.) It looks good for many family stories to focus on those black and white relatives who came over (and that certainly is the myth behind the Ellis Island version of things), but in reality it hides the same dark tale still being written today.

Despite her pretty words about freedom, AOC supports the sexual exploitation of women and girls. Gavin Newsom supports the use of Mexicans in his “sanctuary” state as long as they do back-breaking field work. Zohran Mamdani will be ensuring his New York is maintained with inexpensive restaurant food and plenty of prostitutes. Forget the sob stories about hard-working dads plucked out of the meatpacking plants (undocumented workers make up up to 50 percent percent of the meatpacking workforce; meatpacking companies recently paid out $8 million for child labor violations) by the ICE “Gestapo,” and focus on what is underlying all those workers being drawn here in the first place. Illegal labor is the engine of a shadow economy and always has been—now fully supported by Democrats. [MORE]

Advocates Say Authorities Must Inform the Public that Digital IDs (if adopted) Will Be Voluntary and Optional [Unless you can't do anything without it]

From [HERE] Children’s Health Defense (CHD) is urging U.S. regulatory authorities to publish a webpage that clearly states that digital ID systems, if adopted, will be voluntary and optional for U.S. citizens.

The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), which operates under the U.S. Department of Commerce, is preparing to launch a “Frequently Asked Questions” webpage about its new rules.

In a letter sent Thursday to Ryan Galluzzo, NIST’s digital ID program leader,

Miriam Eckenfels, director of CHD’s Electromagnetic Radiation (EMR) & Wireless Program, wrote:

“CHD requests that NIST publish a formal FAQ to confirm your department is committed to emphasizing the voluntary nature of digital ID, meaning that nothing in the new NIST guidance should be construed to require biometric identification.”

Eckenfels provided sample language NIST could use for the FAQ.

NIST, which is responsible for establishing “technical requirements for federal agencies implementing digital identity services,” recently published its updated digital ID guidelines.

While the new guidelines don’t state that digital IDs would be mandatory, the document doesn’t include a special section explaining that digital IDs must remain optional.

“Children and traditionally identified persons (meaning people who decline a digital ID) would be adversely affected by NIST’s new guidance if the guidance is misinterpreted to require digital identification such as biometric identifiers,” Eckenfels said.

NIST “is clearly moving toward digital wallets and biometric keys that will make it harder for Americans to access their online accounts (email, bank, everything online) unless Americans provide biometric identifiers (face scan, thumb print),” said Greg Glaser, a digital privacy expert and attorney.

On Aug. 19, Montana became the 10th state to accept digital IDs via Apple Wallet, according to PC Mag. The app enables iPhone users to store a digital driver’s license or state ID on their phone. Montana also adopted Google Wallet, available on Android phones.

Nine other states — Arizona, California, Colorado, Georgia, Hawaii, Iowa, Maryland, New Mexicoand Ohio — have adopted Apple’s digital ID app, according to PC Mag. Seven more states are preparing to adopt the app, MacRumours said.

Eight states, including Montana, have adopted Google Wallet as of Aug. 20, according to ZDNet.

Twila Brase, a registered nurse, expressed support for CHD’s letter. “NIST must make it clear by putting it in writing that digital IDs are voluntary, can never be mandated, and those who have them can revert to a hardcopy license,” she said.

Brase is co-founder and president of Citizens’ Council for Health Freedom, a health privacy nonprofit that has been challenging Real ID. She said:

“As we’ve seen with our work to oppose the REAL ID system, government agencies rarely disclose that individuals are not required to have a REAL ID. As a result, most people with REAL ID and digital IDs are clueless about their rights, government biometric databases, federal control over their ID, or how digital IDs enable government tracking in full violation of the [U.S. Constitution’s] 4th Amendment.

“If Americans knew the truth about the federal REAL ID and digital IDs, we’d see much higher refusal rates. But without proper warning or full disclosure by state DMVs, Americans accept the unacceptable.”

The States Sending Race Soldiers to DC Have Worse Crime Problems: 53 Cities Across Louisiana, Mississippi, Ohio, South Carolina, Tennessee and West Virginia had higher Murder Rates than DC in 2024

From [HERE] The residents of Washington, D.C., have responded to President Donald Trump’s deployment of federal law enforcement and National Guard into their neighborhoods with revulsion, vitriol and hurled hoagies. 

Trump declared a crime emergency in the nation’s capitol on Aug. 11, even though violence rates recently plunged to the lowest levels seen in decades. A recent Washington Post-Schar School poll found that 79 percent of Washingtonians oppose Trump’s actions and 69 percent do so “strongly.” 

After Trump deployed 800 members of the D.C. National Guard, six Republican governors volunteered hundreds of their own guardsmen: West Virginia, South Carolina, Ohio, Louisiana, Mississippi and Tennessee. 

Mayor Muriel E. Bowser (D) said sending troops from other states, “doesn’t make sense,” but she believes the district has little power to stop them. 

That got us wondering: How would those governors feel if National Guard troops from other states were ordered onto their streets, perhaps to patrol one of the 53 cities in those states with a higher murder rate than Washington’s? After all, if D.C. is in the throes of a crime emergency worthy of a militarized response — and you have no concerns that response might backfire — then why aren’t the good people of Jackson, Mississippi or North Charleston, South Carolina? 

According to a Democracy Docket analysis of the FBI’s Crime in the United States Annual Report, using Offenses Known to Law Enforcement, by State by City in 2024, 53 cities across Louisiana, Mississippi, Ohio, South Carolina, Tennessee and West Virginia had higher murder rates than D.C. in 2024. 

Some of the cities have violent crime rates significantly worse than D.C. Memphis saw 2,501 violent crimes per 100,000 residents in 2024, more than double Washington’s 926. The murder rate in Memphis was 41 per 100,000 residents, compared to 26 for D.C.

Washington did see a spike in violent crime and car thefts during the COVID pandemic, but that peaked in 2023. Violent crime dropped by over a third — 35 percent — in 2024, matching a trend in cities across the nation, including Memphis. 

Despite the GOP’s focus on Democratic-led cities, crime is a problem for Republican towns, too. Shreveport, Louisiana, which has a Republican mayor, has a higher murder rate than DC (27 per 100,000 residents), and a higher violent crime rate (1,228 per 100,000 residents). [MORE]

Venezuelans Grip Up in Response to Trump's Threats: Holds 2nd Day of National Militia Enlistment, "Enlisting means saying no to imperialism"

No Wonder Racists Sleep Well at Night, They Believe Joy Reid is "Radical"

The above is mindless nonsense found in The Spectacle. Joy Reid is an out of work Black probot and sleeping tom. She was unplugged by her elite liberal masters at MSNBC and is looking for a new gig to continue parroting their messaging. Her and a large number of other coin-operated Black puppeticians, authorities, spokespuppets and proxymorons are showcased and paid well by elite white liberals in the Democratic party establishment.

In reality, elite racists have done a great job at minimizing and burying the radical works of Dr. Frances Cress Welsing, Dr. Amos Wilson, Neely Fuller, Marimba Ani, Steve Coakley, Dr. Blynd, Elijah Muhammad and others. Racist suspect liberal scholars in particular deny their existence by omission.

Nebraska Announces Opening of Immigration Pri$on - Major Goal is 100% Non-White Occupancy

Nebraska Governor Jim Pillen on Tuesday announced the opening of a new immigration detention center in the southwest corner of the state. Major General Craig Strong said that the move is an integral step in supporting “the president’s initiatives for homeland security.” The present McCook Work Camp will be transformed from a minimum-security facility and will expand its current holding capacity from about 185 to approximately 300.

The US Department of Homeland Security (DHS) said that the new center, dubbed Cornhusker Clink, is a partnership between Nebraska and the DHS. Secretary Kristi Noem remarked that the partnership aims “to remove the worst of the worst out of our country.” Governor Pillen spoke similarly in the DHS press release, stating:

I am pleased that our facility and team in McCook can be tasked with helping our federal partners protect our homeland by housing criminal illegal aliens roaming our country’s communities today. I am also proud that the Nebraska State Patrol and National Guard will be assisting ICE enforcement efforts, as well. Homeland security starts at home, and, just as when I twice deployed troops to secure our southern border during the failed Biden administration, Nebraska will continue to do its part.

The new detention center mimics Florida’s “Alligator Alcatraz,” from which deportations have already started to occur. Nebraska residents are protesting the new center’s opening, with some expressing concerns that it will parallel a “concentration camp.” One protestor pleaded, “We are not criminals. We’re people like these are people that you are putting in, like, these ethnic camps.” [MORE]

After DC and Chicago, is Venezuela the Next Target of the White American Empire? Is Dummy Trump “Saving the Country" in Order to Steal the World’s Largest Oil Reserves?

After Convincing Neuropeons that Inner City Crime is a Threat to National Security, Trump Will Send Race Soldiers to Chicago, Declares Another Fake Emergency to Last as Long as It Distracts His Base

Stagnant Job Market Is a Rising Risk for the U.S. Economy

From [HERE] The Pentagon has for weeks been planning a military deployment to Chicago as President Donald Trump says he wants to crack down on crime, homelessness and undocumented immigration, in a model that could later be used in other major cities, officials familiar with the matter said.

The planning, which has not been previously disclosed, involves several options, including mobilizing at least a few thousand members of the National Guard as soon as September to what is the third most populous city in the United States.

The mission, if approved, would have parallels to the polarizing and legally contested operation that Trump ordered in Los Angeles in June, when he deployed 4,000 members of the California National Guard and 700 active-duty Marines despite the protests of state and local leaders. The use of thousands of active-duty troops in Chicago also has been discussed but is considered less likely at this time, said two officials who, like others interviewed, spoke on the condition of anonymity because of the sensitivity of the issue.

The Chicago effort would further expand Trump’s use of military force domestically, even when state and local authorities call the idea unwelcome and unwarranted. Administration officials have defended such deployments, arguing that they are taking necessary steps to bring back law and order. [MORE]

Dummy Trump’s Fake Takeover: Excluding Immigration Arrests, Most Arrests are for Minor Misdemeanor and Traffic Offenses, Not Violent Crime

The White House said the federal police takeover's focus is on violent crime and criminals in the District. 7News looked into who's getting arrested and into the numbers and discovered that the majority of the arrests and interactions aren’t for violent crimes.

7News obtained a copy of the breakdown of each arrest outside of Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) apprehensions, which showed that the majority of the arrests and interactions aren’t for violent crimes.

It noted every documented arrest during the takeover. The U.S. Marshal Service said it's responsible for the overall operations.

Outside of immigration enforcement, there have been 379 arrests documented. There were more misdemeanors and traffic citations issued than violent crime arrests. [MORE]

DC City Council Member: ‘Trump Takeover is a Political Stunt. Not about crime, this is about power and control’

From [HERE] On Wednesday’s broadcast of CNN’s “Situation Room,” D.C. City Councilman Zachary Parker (D) criticized “the characterization that D.C. is some slum and dangerous.” And stated that “we are seeing a surge of federal officers that are harassing individuals in all quadrants of our city, that are posing real risk to Washingtonians.”

Co-host Wolf Blitzer asked, “What’s your reaction to what’s been going on in our city over these past several days?”

Parker answered, “I would say it’s outrageous. Residents are demanding that we push back on what’s happening in this city, as well as the characterization that D.C. is some slum and dangerous.”

Later in the interview, Parker said, “What we do know is that the federal government is wasting millions of dollars through this political stunt that is not making residents safer. In fact, when you look at the numbers, the federal government is producing worse outcomes than our Metropolitan Police Department would on an average night, normally. And it just doesn’t track with the facts.”

Blitzer then asked, “A lot of observers here in Washington, myself included, have noted that these federal troops are mainly in the city’s tourist areas, the National Mall, Union Station — the big railroad station here in Washington — and elsewhere, but they’re not necessarily in neighborhoods where crime and shootings are still taking place. Is that your understanding?”

Parker answered, “That is my understanding. We are seeing National Guardsmen deployed near Metro stations and on federal properties. [MORE]

According to the Israeli Army Database: 83% of the Gazans They Murdered Were Civilians

Data from an internal Israeli intelligence database indicates that at least 83 percent of Palestinians killed in Israel’s onslaught on Gaza were civilians, an investigation by +972 Magazine, Local Call, and the Guardian can reveal. 

Figures obtained from the classified database — which records the deaths of militants from Hamas and Palestinian Islamic Jihad (PIJ) — contradict by a huge margin the public statements of Israeli army and government officials throughout the war, which have generally claimed a 1:1 or 2:1 ratio of civilian to militant casualties. Instead, the classified data backs up the findings of several studies suggesting Israel’s bombardment of Gaza has killed civilians at a rate with few parallels in modern warfare. 

The Israeli army confirmed the existence of the database, which is managed by the Military Intelligence Directorate (known by the Hebrew acronym “Aman”). Multiple intelligence sources familiar with the database said the army views it as the only authoritative tally of militant casualty figures. In the words of one of them: “There’s no other place to check.” [MORE]
