[CRIME news] Eric Adams on shutting down bridge for a dangerous prank

Incidents like this damage our brand as a city, disrespect New Yorkers and endanger visitors and residents alike. All those who participated in this reckless behavior must be found and held responsible to the full extent of the law. We will not be a city of chaos. https://t.co/5XjRTlAqGs

Police in Southwest Baltimore parked their vehicles around a shot-up car in which a man died after he was gunned down around 10:30 p.m. on Sunday so his mother wouldn't see his injured body. The man had been shot multiple times and was surrounded by over two dozen shell casings. pic.twitter.com/9N0Na49zkP

This is the second time within 48 hours that officers in the southwest part of the city have responded to a shooting in Baltimore's Booth-Boyd neighborhood. On Friday, someone shot a 55-year-old man three blocks and an alleyway north of the Sunday night crime scene around 11 p.m.

Speaking of mass robberies in the Bay Area…a family-owned jewelry shop in Oakland’s Chinatown was targeted around 1:40AM.

'Inappropriately low' bail set for Darrell Brooks, man in custody connected to Waukesha parade tragedy

By: CBS 58 Newsroom Posted: Nov 22, 2021 8:59 AM CST | Updated: Nov 22, 2021 12:32 PM CST

WAUKESHA, Wis. (AP/CBS 58) — A person taken into custody after an SUV plowed into a crowd of holiday parade marchers in Wisconsin, killing at least five people, has been identified as 39-year-old Darrell Brooks.

Police haven't yet identified the "person of interest" they are holding. But two law enforcement officials briefed on the matter provided the identification to The Associated Press.

They spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to speak publicly. A law enforcement official earlier told AP that investigators were examining whether the driver may have been fleeing from a crime when he crashed into the paradegoers.

That official also spoke on condition of anonymity.

According to court records, Brooks was released from jail earlier this month on $1,000 bail after being charged with several counts including recklessly endangering safety and battery.

^ This is not going to bode well for Democrats in Wisconsin and it is not going to bode well for race relations either! Waukesha is a swing voting area, it is where white people moved out of Milwaukee for better schools and less crime. Democrats simply can't support lower bail and other loose attitudes towards both those arrested and those convicted and still win elections there. Milwaukee already had a severe crime problem way before Covid.

Waukesha: Former FBI terrorism experts saw something fishy in the red SUV attack that is going unnoticed

By Sarah K. Burris @ RawStory.com, November 21, 2021

Former FBI agents Clint Watts and Frank Figliuzzi agreed that there was something different about the Waukesha mass casualty event than previous incidents [....]

"It was a very unusual video, and I having looked at other terrorist attacks which were vehicle-borne attacks," said Watts. "They are quite different. I am confused of what to make of it. The driver in some places seemed to deliberately mow over people and other places to dodge them. So, I think there is a lot to learn to be honest, and I don't think we should probably jump to any conclusions right at the outset because it is very strange if you've watched any of the video and there is a lot of it online I would not encourage people to watch it because it because it is traumatic. It is a very strange incident."

He went on to say that the event had a heavy police presence and that terrorists look for places where there isn't law enforcement.

"Usually, a vehicle-borne attack, if the goal is to produce lots of casualties, they wouldn't stop and only hit one person," Watts continued. "What is odd in the video is at times the vehicle seems to be hitting and colliding with people apparently deliberately other times not. That is unusual. It is also strange in terms of circumstances with the barricades. There was a heavy law enforcement presence. This is known. They knew there was a parade and there would be law enforcement."

"A lot of the other vehicle-borne attacks do the reverse and seek out places like in Barcelona where they know there is no law enforcement presence so they can inflict the most damage," he continued. "Is this a symbolic event? Is this related to other criminal activity we don't know about? There are a lot of confusing things in the video that don't match with what I've seen from other vehicle-borne attacks on places of high population density like the west side highway for example." [....]

I've gotta admit that official BLM was successful in the goal of fewer cops on the force - lots of cities and towns are begging for them. However, it's still contra their goals and a big FAIL: the good ones have quit and are still quitting for different jobs as they are fed up by not being appreciated and often straight out hated, and it's gonna cost localities MORE not less, to get lousy cops who have no scruples (supply and demand).

severe police shortage in Oakland, the few on duty have to deal with protests about a trial in small town Wisconsin that has nothing to do with them (you could protest on the internet, you know, much wider audience!) and the brainless are shocked that robbery and smash-and-grab looting is going on allover the place -

On Friday November 19th, @oaklandpoliceca had 11 out of 35 patrol beats open during swing-shift.

Patrol officers not only had to deal with regular crime but a downtown protest for the Rittenhouse verdict, Bay 2 LA sideshow and looting caravans that used the above as cover.

I have seen more people die in real life and on video than most. That I can handle. Disturbingly easily, I might even add. But there's something affecting about seeing one person set another person on fire. Horrible way to die.

You want a "not-perfect" victim to be outraged about? How about this guy? I'm sure he had his problems, but where's the outrage? Systemic failures abound! And nobody cares. Blame NYCHA. Or DHS. Or NYPD. Or Bellevue. IDK! But blame somebody. A man was burnt alive!

What the fuck

Guy was pissed that he had to live with a stinky homeless guy in his stairwell. I can relate to that. No government agency did anything about the problem. That's the policy failure. So he put a lighter to a human being's pants leg and set him on fire. That is where we part paths.

Not going to watch. I had enough one time with the ISIS propaganda video of them lighting a man on fire in a cage. :(

This one got me viscerally in a way that I was not expecting. I guess it's nice to know I still have human feelings.

Ugh. Brings back horrible memories of an arrest where a father was lit on fire by his son and lived. Those not in the know can’t fathom the depravity that really exists.

But Rep. Tlaib and friends would like him out on the streets? Or what?

.@jonathanvswan presses Rep. Tlaib on backing a bill to end federal prisons: To what extent have you wrestled w/ potential downsides?

Tlaib: I think everyone's like, oh my god, we're going to just release everybody.

Swan: But the act you endorsed actually says release everyone pic.twitter.com/ZBX3T9wxQy
