Metal music festival loses headliner, multiple bands after announcing Kyle Rittenhouse as guest
Bobble-heads over on bird shit site complaining "How can US give Israel long-range missiles to attack Russian base in Syria while not allowing Ukraine....?"
The IAF warplanes used air-to-surface missiles produced in Israel, and none of them have the range these idiots are calling long range.
I think the RAMPAGE has a range of about 155 miles, and the Icebreaker has maybe 180+ miles.

Bush before completing the recounts.
The moral of this story is...
They send cops to classes to teach them how to deescalate interactions, and then they send 'em to other classes telling them they need to dominate and establish authority, so the deescalate stuff doesn't stick.
That... and get them hopped up on adrenaline because they're afraid, you're in a world of hurt.
Learn to deescalate as a citizen. Do not become belligerent. Be helpful, soothing... like you're are dealing with a potentially viscous dog.
About the worst thing I ever said to a police officer was "OK, my registration is in the glove compartment, and I am going to reach for it slowly now, ok?"
To which the officer said, "Why are you acting so paranoid"
And I replied, "Because the last officer who also pulled me over because my car fit the description of a car used in a robbery pulled out his gun and stuck it in my face when I reached for the glove compartment, and I don't want to get shot in the face".
