Intended to incite anger?-----Report: Detroit police using guns more often during arrests
Report: Detroit police using guns more often during arrests
"...The number of times Detroit police have used force has dropped slightly this year — though they're using their guns and pulling the trigger "substantially" more than they did last year, according to a report released at Thursday's Detroit Board of Police Commissioners meeting.
So far this year, the city has seen 17 so-called Category 1 incidents, which involve the most serious use-of-force tactics, including shooting suspects, striking them with a Taser or using a force that leads to death, broken bones or loss of consciousness. This includes pepper spraying a person who is detained, which is prohibited by police.
Of the 17 most serious use-of-force incidents, nearly half involved guns. Category 1 incidents are up 70%, from 10 last year to the current number of 17, which include:
- 1 fatal shooting
- 2 nonfatal shootings
- 2 shots fired
- 3 unintentional discharge of a weapon
- 5 Taser incidents
- 1 critical vehicle pursuit
- 4 other
"There really weren’t any substantive changes (in use-of-force incidents) … however, there was a substantial increase in gun-related arrests in 2021 compared to 2020," DPD director Reid Branche-Wilson told the commissioners in explaining the quarterly report.
Wilson attributed the rise in Category 1 incidents to an increased use in Tasers and officers unintentionally discharging their weapons, though his report did not say whether the use-of-force incidents were justified or not...Read all.

Did the GOP Just Dodge a Bullet? | CNSNews:
But if it was an insurrection, an act of sedition, an attempted coup, an act of domestic terrorism, the conspirators should be charged in court, for each of these is a specific crime. And if anyone plotted to kill Mike Pence, then they should be charged with that and put on trial.
But it would be folly for the GOP to cooperate in a Democratic scheme to indict the GOP and Trump presidency in the court of public opinion for abetting something close to treason, which did not happen.
The Jan. 6 national commission idea, understandably supported by every congressional Democrat, belongs in the dumpster.

Fauci Now Says He's 'Not Convinced' Coronavirus Developed Naturally
Fauci Now Says He's 'Not Convinced' Coronavirus Developed Naturally:
Dr. Anthony Fauci reversed course May 11, claiming he is “not convinced” the Chinese coronavirus developed naturally and that its origins merit investigation.
“No, actually. … No, I’m not convinced about that. I think that we should continue to investigate what went on in China until we find out to the best of our ability exactly what happened,” Fauci said during an interview when a PolitiFact reporter asked, “There’s a lot of cloudiness around the origins of COVID-19 [Chinese coronavirus] still, so I wanted to ask, are you still confident that it developed naturally?”

Local "news" just a biased as national news...only dumber!-----John Oliver Fools Local Broadcast News Programs Into Promoting “Ridiculous” Fake Product
John Oliver Fools Local Broadcast News Programs Into Promoting “Ridiculous” Fake Product
- John Oliver on Sunday’s Last Week Tonight focused his main segment on the amount of sponsored content creeping into local news broadcasts under the guise of news.
“It is far too easy to make a ridiculous product that makes outlandish claims and get it onto local TV,” he said. “And the reason I know that is, we did.”
The show’s production team set up company called “Venus Inventions,” makers of the “Venus Veil,” described as “the world’s first sexual wellness blanket.”
They also created a website and hired an actress to ”brand-egrate the shit” out of the product into “shows it had no business being on.”
ABC4 in Utah took the bait, and ran a segment on it Friday. Oliver showed highlights from the broadcast.
Oliver said it was very easy to get the segment on the air and noted that the staffer interviewing the actress promoting the product was the station’s chief medical correspondent.
“It seems striking she didn’t have any follow-ups on claims we made about the veil that you would hope a medical correspondent would immediately take issue with,” he said...

Apartment owner pays fine for allegedly failing to offer translation | The Sacramento Bee
"The management company of a south Sacramento apartment complex is paying a federal settlement after being accused of retaliating against an employee who was advocating for language translation services for residents.
An employee of the apartment complex filed a complaint with the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development, which provides funding to the complex, a HUD news release said.
The complaint alleged the complex’s owners and managers failed to provide language translation services to Vietnamese residents and retaliated against an employee who advocated for such services.
That would have been a violation of the federal Fair Housing Act and Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, which both prohibit discrimination based on national origin.
According to the settlement agreement, FPI Management will pay $10,000 to the employee who filed the complaint, and $20,075 to residents of the property, with each of the 73 households receiving $275, the release said.
FPI will also provide free oral and written translation to those who need it in the future...Read all.
