'Police officers will be mostly white for decades', UK official watchdog fears
http://www.dailymail.co.uk/
s-Fears-raised-official-
cruits.html
Police organization blames budget cuts for recruitment problems
Public trust in police will be eroded if it does not represent community
Top officer claims: 'We will start to lose a degree of legitimacy'
Looks like the UK's Leftists have come to the conclusion that England is
"too white". I guess they will have to change the name from "England",
meaning Land of the Angles (long with the Saxons and the Jutes), to
"Multicultural-land". Apparently the ethnicity of the police force must
match the ethnicity of the neighborhood or else they it lacks legitimacy.
The various neighborhoods will need their own courts and judges as well.
That worked for other countries, many of which have long since fragmented
into many separate independent countries, didn't it?! Anyway to paraphrase
what Margret Thatcher famously observed, just because it sounds ridiculous
doesn't mean the Leftists are not serious about wanting to accomplish it.

Obama Begins War and Golfing Vacation at the Same Time

cation-at-the-same-time/
"After beginning a series of air strikes that he warned might take months,
Obama did what he does best, go on vacation."
The pizza parlors in northern Virginia say that they can always tell when a
major military operation is being planned because they suddenly get lots of
pizza delivery orders from the Pentagon after normal business hours just
before the commencement of hostilities. Likewise we can always tell when our
President is planning to start war because he always goes on vacation right
at the start of it.

Armed victim returns gunfire, killing 14-year-old gang member, cops say
http://www.orlandosentinel.
-armed-gang-member-20140807,0,
"It is unknown if Canteen holds a state concealed-weapon permit or if he
will claim self-defense under the state's "stand your ground" law."
This is appears to be a case of simple self-defense since there was no
possibility that the victim would have been able to safely withdraw or
retreat without employing lethal force to stop the attack and save his life.
So presumably the victim would not need to invoke the stand your ground law.
However, the Stand your ground law was passed to prevent prosecutors hostile
to civilian gun ownership from railroading a citizen who shot in
self-defense into a conviction with an exaggerated interpretation of the
"duty to retreat". After the fact it is often easy to second guess the
citizen into a conviction by pointing out to a jury all the avenues of
escape the citizen "might" have used to keep from having to shoot. Under the
stand your ground law the prosecution must demonstrate to the court that the
"preponderance of the evidence" indicates that that citizen acted unlawfully
before he may be charged with crime. So the burden of proof is on the
prosecution rather than on the victim as in a simple self-defense plea,
especially prior to the passage of the stand your ground law.

Police say Duo used door-to-door Pizza Kit scam for drug money
Clever scheme. Actually these people weren’t doing anything different than what most charities and not for profit organizations do nowadays. Particularly secular charities and not for profit organizations: most of the money does not go to the people the charities are claiming to help, rather most of money goes to provide a good paying job for the people who run that organization and/or is diverted to support candidates for political office, particularly Democrat candidates.

Obama authorizes renewed airstrikes in Iraq
http://news.msn.com/us/obama-
"WASHINGTON (AP) - President Barack Obama authorized U.S. airstrikes in northern Iraq Thursday night, warning they would be launched if needed to defend Americans from advancing Islamic militants and protect civilians under siege. His announcement threated a renewal of U.S. militaryinvolvement in the country's long sectarian war."
Krauthammer's Take: Obama Needs to Stop Thinking about Intervention and Make a Decision

Yeah time to fish or cut bait here. Of course our President will do neither;
he will in all likelihood continue to vacillate and make no decision at all
until the situation in Iraq sorts itself out one way of the other. The most
important thing is always that he avoid having any blame fall on himself for
things going wrong, so no decisions. Iraq is on its own.

Thieves using mysterious high-tech remote to burglarize cars

The National Insurance Crime Bureau, an investigative agency sponsored bythe insurance industry, reports that thieves are using electronic "scannerboxes" to send a signal that replicates those transmitted by a car owner'skey fob to open doors and steal personal items. "Our law enforcementpartners tell us they are seeing this type of criminal activity and haverecovered some of the illegal devices," Joe Wehrle, NICB CEO, said in astatement.
But while these types of break-ins have been reported from California toIllinois and the devices have been spotted for sale on the Internet, policestill don't know exactly what the gadgets are or how criminals are gettingtheir hands on them.
A home surveillance video shot in Long Beach, California, last year caughton camera two thieves burglarizing a pair of locked SUVs in a driveway. Thefirst suspect can be seen carrying a small device in one hand, according tolocal police who viewed the footage. Although barely visible in theblack-and-white video shot at night, he aims it at the car and is able tounlock the passenger-side front door and gain entry to the vehicle. A secondsuspect does the same thing to another SUV parked in the driveway.

"Where was President Obama? He was speaking to an Africa business group butdid not go to the press office to address this killing."
"What a missed opportunity to show a little leadership and respect for thearmed forces.
"First, President Obama should have told the nation about the loss. He couldhave done this in a short Oval Office address."
"Second, he should use the opportunity to explain our policy or mission."
"Third, he could show everyone that he's engaged and on top of the job."
"President Obama chose to say nothing and that speaks volumes about the lackof leadership and respect for the troops."

harder to achieve. Of course that doesn't mean the anti-gun Lefties will ever quit trying. The price of Liberty is eternal vigilance.

Afghan Official: General's Killer Hid in Bathroom

Of course the story neglects to mention the fact that a higher ranking
American general was killed in the 9/11 attacks. Timothy Joseph "Tim" Maude
(November 18, 1947 - September 11, 2001) was a United States Army officer
who was killed in the September 11 attacks of 2001.
On September 11, 2001, Maude was working as the U.S. Army's Deputy Chief of
Staff for Personnel and was at a meeting when American Airlines Flight 77
crashed into the west side of the Pentagon. His offices had just days before
been moved to the most recently renovated section of the Pentagon. He was
the highest ranking military officer killed in the attacks, and the
senior-most U.S. Army officer killed by enemy action since Simon B. Buckner
in 1945.[2]
