the longer the radio silence is, the higher the chances that everyone is trying to sweep that under the rug. my best guess is that the cop they disarmed didn't behave in a fully professional manner. it's pure speculation on my part, but seeing how there is zero news, I'd bet the police got their best brains together to find a face-saving way out.

My fear is that Trump Social will be used to pay Trump's legal bills and to fund his campaign. What measures are in place to prevent people to invest in Trump Social and Trump filling his pockets with it ? I can imagine dozens of different ways how this could be done.

let him run it as long as he does the right thing. requisition of industrial capacity and minimal stockpile requirements as well as secure supply chains for armament industry are a no brainer.

the same guys? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/British_Free_Corps

my information says police response came after 90 minutes, BUT the police from this unit were actually on site with K9 the moment the shooting started, and they ... fled.

to be expected. modern bridges are constructs that rely on tension and anchors, take one away and the whole thing collapses.

Enron Wirecard ... what was Bernie Madoff's estimated net worth before collapse ?

he's putting on ignore everyone that exposes his lies, so he probably can't read your post nor mine.

so... will you amend your post or change your opinion ?

almost reads as if there was no maintenance contract for the line...

didn't deter the governor...

compare with other similar incidents in Thailand and how many people usually talk about the events.

We simply know too little to make a judgement about what happened. The video does not support the assault story, especially considering the photos taken just after a couple of backup cops arrived, the guys just stand around the motorcyles, the police too. if the guys were dangerous, they would have their face in the dirt, a cop's knee in the ribs and bracelets. Instead it looks like they stand around the bikes and are talking. an assault would not result in that photograph. There's certainly more to this story than meets the eye at this point. What would you think if the cop fired in the air first, and then put the gun to one of the guys' head while shouting "I kill you" "I kill you" and making crazy Al-Kaida eyes? Would we have a case of self-defense then ? Another hint that there is more to the story is how slowly this case moves forward.

how much do you know about Russia and Ukraine? have you been to Russia ? (I have) have you been to Ukraine ? (I have) do you have Russian friends living in Russia ? (I have) do you have friends and family living in Ukraine ? (I have)

do the research yourself. Trump has implied as much on several occasions, a recent one being where he said he would stop all aid to Ukraine and the war would then stop.

where are you getting 32.200 from? the figure seems ridiculously low. EDIT Ah, that's the number of residents. So you are comparing the number of offences committed by foreigners overall, including tourists and illegal entries, with the number of residents - and that's incorrect.

so, he gave Starlink to Ukraine and then a little later, started interfering and becoming more pro-Russian and pro-Trump. I wonder what kompromat Putin's got on Musk, but I'm also pretty sure Musk was already a prick before. His move to buy Twitter is also highly suspect in this light.

It's so sad. How can those vile MAGA Reps look at themselves in the mirror?

I completely agree with the Russians - and they already have the perfect buffer zones: Kursk Oblast, Bryansk Oblast, Belgorod Oblast, Rostov Oblast and Voronezh Oblast.

Yes, you are right on that count - I misread "replied" for "reported". Apologies to you for that.

ah, we now get into the realm of the "unwritten rules". rules #28 does not mention post length, it says that shortening a post is permitted. the rest of your post didn't add any context to the section I was responding to. my goal was to respond exactly to your reference to the "rogue cop defense", as suggested by rule #7 of the Code of Conduct. there is your good reason. my apologies to the rest of the readers for getting sucked into a "I'll report you because you broke the rules" discussion.

Wow, you needed some time to come up with that. I'll leave it to others who also understand the meaning of "context" to judge. I don't mean to infer that you don't understand the meaning of "context", even if your post would suggest otherwise. Maybe reporting my post as you suggested would provide clarity in the matter.

unless it's a proven dangerous criminal fleeing, there is absolutely no reason ever to shoot someone's tires, it even should be a very serious breach of the code of conduct, cops doing that should land a desk job, and that's if nobody was injured.

Absolutely. To save you the time, check rule #28. Also check out the Code of Conduct rule #7 which you wanted me to break. Wouldn't that make 2 apologies from you ? https://aseannow.com/forum_rules/

Please go ahead and ridicule yourself completely by quoting the rule you allege I have broken.
