shalafi , in Cops arrest 17-year-old suspected of hundreds of swattings nationwide

US cops, being what they are, jesus... Swatting is potentially calling in a hit on random people. And I don't mean to be hyperbolic, but yeah, sending cops into a situation described as dangerous is fraught. Read the article, this guy set up some horrific scenarios.

Look at that one dude that got gunned down by multiple cops for answering his door with a gun in hand. If something seems off or unexpected, and that's extraordinarily rare, I do that. No one will see it, but my hand in on it when the door opens.

I'm in the US, Why is swatting even able to be a thing? Like you call a number, say a bunch of lies into the phone and people with guns and tanks show up and shoot everyone in the house an hour later? No one double checks the info given? Like wtf, why is that a normal response time and time again when I'm sure most of the events these teams are called in for, its for swatting. How many crazy dangerous hostage situations or terrorist dens you think these guys are busting regularly vs killing innocent people from random internet strangers lies?

I think, and I'm being honest here, the cops fucking love it. They get to get their tacticool rocks off and go in blasting with no actual danger to face. They have qualified immunity so the ones that actually shoot people, or dogs, face no real trouble.
Put yourself in their shoes. You're a sad, lonely bully with a kink for cosplaying real soldiers and you get the chance to pull out your biggest pewpew and kick in doors. No way are you turning that down because of checks notes basic critical thinking.

LesserAbe , in Ex-CIA software engineer sentenced to 40 years for giving secrets to WikiLeaks

Anyone know more information about the child pornography charge? Entirely possible it's real, but the detail that investigators found this at his house under three layers of encryption (and still apparently decrypted it) sounds a little odd.

So this whistleblower leaks information about how the cia could hack devices and upload information on to them. Then they find csam on his computer?

Crack0n7uesday , in Inert nuclear missile found in US man's garage

Dey're takin our bombs...

MossyFeathers , in Inert nuclear missile found in US man's garage

That's pretty cool, the rocket I mean, not the fact the museum unironically thought the guy had a functioning nuke. I'm glad they let him keep it.

antidote101 , in Israel forces Gazans into one-third of territory as Red Sea attacks continue

Fencing people off to kill them, sounds very much like a death camp, or a pogrom massacre.

voracitude , in Italy’s far-right government submits plan to decriminalise abuse of office

Because if Italy needs anything, it's more corruption of their political offices. Berlusconi was GOAT, you know. /s

runswithjedi , in Decades of research destroyed after freezer fails at Swedish university

Not cool.

That's bold. One must conclude they want to abuse their position.

The reddest of flags

You would think a system like that would have a monitoring to send remote alerts.

BrikoX OP Mod , in We don’t have all the facts on UNRWA allegations, Penny Wong admits

We know, you were just doing that your overlord US told you to do.

So scared to be called antisemetic they’ll blindly believe whatever Israel says.

Labor need to read the room. Openly opposing Israel’s genocide won’t lose them votes and the US will het over the pathetic capitulation.

And honestly I don’t understand why the US government thinks that supporting Israel’s genocide will in anyway secure their position in the region. Like I’m gonna upset everyone except the cunts in charge of the military of the main colonist nation of the region, that’ll make the region admire and respect my agenda.

pwalshj , in ‘The destruction is massive … It’s a disaster area’: Israeli soldiers speak about fighting in Gaza

"There are days and days when nothing happens and you never see the terrorists..." Not even any mirrors left?

Nudding , in World's first year-long breach of key 1.5C warming limit

I'd like to say we had a good run but we've eradicated 70% of all species since our first steps.

Fuck humanity.
