@OfAthenry Russians seem to like the idea of counter-rotating blades or propellers a lot more than US the or any other country.

I always thought th Ka-52 was cool. Counter-Rotating blades and no tail rotor means they had more usable power & could fly pretty fast, because retreating blade stall is less of a factor. It's also cool because it's one of the few pieces of RU hardware that wasn't a cheap knockoff of our stuff.

Moment a Ukrainian FPV drone catches a Russian Ka-52 attack helicopter. The drone flies into the weapons mounted on the wing, likely causing a detonation.

Incredible news. We have just received Electoral Commission confirmation that Restore Britain is now officially registered as a political party.
Our aim is simple - win the next general election and restore our great country.
Join us in that mission.

@aimeeterese I'm a retired Army intelligence officer. If there's one thing I've learned it's how little we know about foreign countries. So I too will not be making many comments about the conflict with Iran. I hope we get good outcomes. But I'm not going to be naïve and assume that's likely.

I’m a girl, you’ll have to forgive me for deferring to legitimate male authority on matters of war, instead of pretending like I have any fucking idea how to protect a nation from psychotic Islamists.

@johnhawkinsrwn I hope the Supreme Court will do the right thing. I worry some of the justices will vote against the Trump Administration just as a way to spite Trump.

I've been wanting someone to make this very argument at the Supreme Court for more than a decade. The SCOTUS might go our way or the might not. But, if they do? It will be one of the most important rulings in decades.

🚨The Trump admin has filed its reply brief in the birthright citizenship case before the Supreme Court. It opens: The “main object” of the Citizenship Clause was to grant citizenship to freed slaves and their children, whose allegiance to the United States had generally been established through generations of parental domicile. By contrast, aliens who are just passing through the United States, and those who cross our borders illegally, lack ties of allegiance and do not obtain the “priceless and profound gift” of citizenship for their children. To receive citizenship under the Clause, a person must be both born “in the United States” and “subject to the jurisdiction thereof…” That language grants citizenship to children “completely subject” to the United States’ “political jurisdiction.” Children of temporarily present or illegal aliens do not qualify because their parents are not domiciled in, and thus do not owe the requisite allegiance to, the United States. Temporarily present aliens are by definition not domiciled here, while illegal aliens lack the legal capacity to form such a domicile.

Interesting story. Thanks for sharing. I'm glad they caught him. Like you suggest, it seems likely they had some kind of tip or they've been following his online activities for a little while. I read somewhere that cops really like to make an arrest in the sterile area of an airport because that's a pretty good guarantee the perp doesn't have any weapons.

Mass. man arrested, accused of having graphic sex videos of four girls between ages 12 and 16
They must have had a tip. I can’t imagine border security checking the phones of every person crossing the border. I’m glad they got him. boston25news.com/news/local/mas…

@TheAndrewNadeau I think the lesson here is that it's very unwise to be abusive toward a talented person--because they have plenty of ways of getting payback.

I think the cops who sued Afroman should be fired. Not even for the raid.
It just shows disturbingly poor judgement to sue someone you know is AMAZING at making fun of you, and saying on tv you don’t know if he fucked your wife. That’s not someone that should have a gun.
English
@tinarusso4gsrne Yes, I worry this will drive out more good officers from Boston. (I hear ICE is looking for good people to hire.) The police who are left will not be the best. They will learn to avoid encounters with criminals if they want to stay out of trouble.
English
What a disgrace! Who the hell would want to be a police officer in this crazy world where criminals become the victims. Make it make sense!
Boston Police Patrolmen's Association (BPPA)@BostonPatrolmen
BPPA Pres. Larry Calderone, “Nick O’Malley is not a criminal. The decision to arrest him was a slap in the face to cops everywhere. No cop ever wants to take a life. But the hard truth remains, this entire incident could’ve have been avoided if only the suspect had complied.”

@shandiggies "Because they knew Karen didn't kill him."
Yes, but on the other hand I can't think of any Boston Police officer who said anything in public to support Ms. Read or criticize the fake "investigation." The only one who spoke up was that A-hold Karl Dugal.
English
You know what's fucked up? When they said Karen killed Boston Police Officer John O'Keefe, cops didn't show up. No show of support for John. Because they knew Karen didn't kill him.

FPV cam footage from the drone that took down a Russian Ka-52 in Donetsk region. @usf_army pilots from the Baltika crew, 1st battalion "Predators of Heights" of the 59th brigade, hit it with a fiber-optic FPV near Nadiivka, and Magyar's Birds drones finished off the crew after the crash landing.

@Michelm0808 @GlammaSooz If there's a chaotic nighttime scene and the driver (who has just done a violent carjacking) is using his car as a battering ram I'd give wide latitude to the decisions of the police officer. I hope he won't be convicted unless this is a truly egregious error.
English
wcvb.com/article/boston…. This is NOT manslaughter. This appears to be self defense. Democrats love corrupt cops and persecute the ones doing their job. wcvb.com/article/boston…

@Bederowlaw @GlammaSooz "This will create a huge distrust between the BPD and the prosecutor they regularly work with"
Great comment. I was wondering about this topic yesterday. Strained relations between police and prosecutors will only benefit the criminal class.
English
this will turn on what the officer reasonably perceived under the circumstances and whether that included a reasonable belief that the deceased was himself using or was imminently going to use deadly physical force against himself or another. What is very surprising is the quick arrest rather than kicking this straight to a grand jury. It is also perilous to have the Suffolk DA prosecute a Boston cop for an on-duty shooting with a justification defense. This will create a huge distrust between the BPD and the prosecutor they regularly work with

CBS News is doing some interesting stories on topics that the mainstream media would normally want to avoid.
Wall Street Apes@WallStreetApes
WOAH 🚨 CBS News finds 800 FAKE businesses were registered in California JUST LAST YEAR ALONE These fake 800 businesses target legal immigrants who came to the US for school and on Visas They get their social security numbers and start opening up fake businesses in their names, because fake businesses get much higher credit limits and loans compared to personal identity theft Just one example: A former Penn State student who moved back to Thailand had her identity stolen and used to open a fake construction company By the time she found out what was happening her credit score dropped from 800 to 419, they opened 30 fraudulent accounts and made thousands in charges California is fraud capital of the world

These are not real crimes. They are fake crimes, invented by bad people to manipulate nice people. It's not wrong to notice patterns in the world around us. It's a good thing.

@trevor_natsoc @ThePoliticalSq2 Yes, that's how anarcho-tyranny works. There are lots of harsh laws. But they aren't enforced on some people. Others get the mailed fist of law enforcement and prosecution.

@Grumpy_Hoosier @ThePoliticalSq2 Well Mr Stephenson King was caught asleep on a pair of steps in Roxbury in 2024 and had a loaded 9mm ghost gun on him, interesting right? I thought if they caught you with those it's at least a decade in prison? Seems like certain laws only apply to certain people amirite....

If he was a "black" Boston police officer, this prosecution NEVER happens. Hayden would never prosecute a "black" Boston police officer for the same alleged "crime."

@VIP3R187 @libsoftiktok I'm trying to find a photo of Mr. Stephenson King. So far I haven't turned up anything. We know he was arrested at least once. There should be a mugshot I think. Odd.

🚨DEMOCRAT DA TRYING TO LOCK UP COP FOR PROTECTING HIMSELF AND OTHER OFFICERS
Suffolk County DA Kevin Hayden (D) charged Boston police officer Nicolas O'Malley with Manslaughter after he reportedly fatally shot a carjacking suspect who IGNORED multiple commands while driving a stolen vehicle towards police.
Stephenson King, the suspect, was previously arrested for illegal possession of a firearm.
Why is this cop being charged for doing his job and protecting fellow officers?!?!
DROP THE CHARGES @SCDAONews

@BostonReportah It seems likely that this case will get lots of coverage. I think that's good.
I'm highly skeptical of the CW case. I think lots of us will be interested to know more about this.

This manslaughter case filed today against a young BPD officer is going to tear Boston apart. Was a fleeing felon killed because he was a threat behind the wheel? or because he defied an officer's warning and made him mad?
