Dallas police confronted a woman who opened fire inside Dallas Love Field Airport on Monday morning, eventually shooting her in the lower extremities. Police identified the suspect as 37-year-old Portia Odufuwa, who Chief Eddie Garcia said arrived at the airport shortly before 11 a.m. and changed clothes in the bathroom. After leaving the restroom in a hoodie, Odufuwa pulled out a gun and fired several shots, most of them directed toward the ceiling, Garcia added. An officer engaged her as she fired multiple rounds, Garcia said. Cellphone footage shows people cowering on the ground and behind chairs, and one traveler told CNN that he “saw a massive amount of people running up from security and people yelling ‘shooter.’ TSA employees rushed us out a side door.” [....]

good photo, gets at the way you might run across evidence of the violent crime problem if you were visiting Manhattan

You betcha the gun industry thanks 2020 BLM protesters every fucking day -
I for one could easily envision everyone in Kenosha buying a gun if they didn't have one before the minute they saw the results of the damage in the light of day.
And the protests in Wauwautosa by Black kids running through the yards at night to terrorize the (mostly liberal white) residents (because of what one Black cop did), ai yi yi !!! I betcha every single resident went out and bought a gun within a week.

another 20-something rapper bites the dust -
Earlier I saw this Bogalusa Police investigating two crime scenes, mayor pleads for a stop to violence from tv station WDSU
"The senseless shooting in Bogalusa another tragic reminder of the pain that violent crime brings with it. First I ask that our residents remain calm while the police continue their investigation. My thoughts and prayers are with the victims family and friends. As your Mayor and as a Mother I plead on behalf of our community and for our children, today must mean enough is finally enough. Stop the violence! See something, say something. I demand that Louisiana State Police come in to aid BPD & WPSO."
certainly the opposite of wanting to cut police AND a call for the community to start "tattling" to them to boot!

Lovely property it happened on shown in this video report, definitely reeks of that "live free or die" compound ethos in many "far north" climes,
4 children dead in Alaska after boy fatally shoots siblings before turning gun on himself, authorities say
then there's the 7 kids + 1 away at the time, no using birth control there. I might shoot myself too if I was a 15 yr. old looking at that Fairbanks future, winter coming again soon, just sayin'

meanwhile last week in the "big city" of Anchorage
I found this related video, can't vouch for the source or accuracy of the captions
but overall, the story reminds me of that scene from "Gone with The Wind" where the menfolk got to go "clean up" that camp area where Scarlett got attacked on the road, where all the criminal elements are hiding out

It has nothing to do with the Pride Parade, just the same day. Is all Blacks in a Black neighborhood, mostly young men. I watched both videos Though eventually an overwhelming presence, the cops didn't harass a single person just going about their business or even hanging out on the corner watching. They even appeared to back down from some taunts (sometimes at direction of their commander)

apparently dealing marijuana in Chicago still requires a gun and extra license plates?
and then, about that punch
The main point:do you want virtually all cops to quit because too often they get unfairly treated by the media, or not?

^ Mho, Charles Blow is basically a clueless elitist idiot. People make a lot of fun of David Brooks, but he's a comparative genius about American mass culture. My last straw was when he wrote a column with woke bitching about how the Loony Tunes character Pepe LePew was encouraging bad male behavior and rape culture! HUH?!!! Guess he didn't get the title "Loony Tunes" , how each character except Bugs is "LOONY" and is to be ridiculed and a laughing stock and are always losers! This is just more of the same cluelessness, Blow lives on another planet from the rest of us. Really I don't get why he still has his job. For chrissake even George Will is more savvy about real people. Moskos is being facetious, but I would not at all be surprised if Blow has never met an immigrant.

Excerpts of special note This Administration is more concerned with political narratives and agendas than with victims and prosecuting violent crime and
The Office has been hemorrhaging talent. From seasoned, well-respected veteran prosecutors to many of the younger up-and-coming ASAs. People are leaving in droves. It is clear as to why. It is not because of Covid and
This Administration routinely claims that they have shifted their focus from prosecuting low level crimes so that they can focus their resources on fighting violent crime and drivers of violence. This is simply not true. If this Administration was truly concerned with effectively fighting violent crime, then they would fully staff those courtrooms and Units. Not create more useless policy positions on the Executive Staff at the expense of hiring more ASAs who can work in the trenches

^ So basically this guy is saying that when police say that when they confront a 12-yr.-old in the dead of night in a "bad neighborhood', the 12-yr.-old may very well be armed, they are not making that fear up and they are not lying? Huh, fancy that.

But plenty are still saying that police like DPD Chief James White, quoted above, are the problem, because he doesn't care about Black lives and is part of a systemically racist system, something along those lines. Here's Chief White's official portrait

If you're confused about the word "tubers" - long before there were water parks there developed a "fun for all ages" pastime of a company on the relatively rapid river between Wisconsin and Minnesota renting inner tubes for people to float on in the summer. It's supposed to cool people down, being in the water and the wind under shade of trees.

Arrested man with a Muslim name is the probable murderer of all four Muslim men in Albuquerque. Police on it like fire. Police spokesman with excellent inclusive but business like speaking skills. The APD should be lauded! Sounds like a great force that the city should be proud of. especially at a time when fewer and fewer want the job. If you're terrified, the guns in NM should be what's terrifying you the most, not tribal hatreds:
