Commentary. Minneapolis City Council moves to dismantle their police dept...
Just plain wow.
Just heard this on the news and quite honestly I'm shocked. This is a terrible response to a terrible incident and will cause untold suffering in that city.
People will move out with a quickness that will result in decreased revenue. Recruitment (something that is already hard) will become even MORE difficult. Crime will skyrocket and the people that need the protection of law enforcement the most will become lambs in a world of predators.
Reform is indeed necessary.
Change is necessary and the battle of the hearts/minds of most Americans has been won.
Defunding police will simply cause a whiplash effect on the other side of this thing. After a period of out of control crime you will see police depts come back bigger than ever out of necessity.
I get the emotion but this is a terrible move.

If China Invades Taiwan, This Is What The Fleet Could Look Like
Story here.
Its basically what we already know. The Chinese Navy/Marines look like the legacy US Navy/Marines. The difference? Today's Marine Corps has become a raid/missile force and the Navy is lost at sea with no planning guidance.

British Army takes delivery of two 8x8 Multi-Utility Tactical Transport Unmanned Ground Vehicles.
via Press Release.
General Dynamics Land Systems–UK has delivered two fully-electric 8×8 Multi-Utility Tactical Transport (MUTT) Unmanned Ground Vehicles (UGV) to the British Army.
Alongside the delivery of these UGV’s, which took place in April 2020, General Dynamics Land Systems–UK will provide New Operator Training, Maintainer Training, In-Service Support, Maintainer Tools and Spares, including a fully-supported Helpdesk.
Carew Wilks, vice president and general manager of General Dynamics Land Systems–UK, said: “This Robotic Platoon Vehicle contract award is recognition of General Dynamics Land Systems’ extensive efforts to meet the needs of Armed Forces worldwide with innovative solutions to the changing landscape of the modern battlefield. We look forward to supporting the British Army in maximising the outstanding capabilities that MUTT provides.”
The MUTT, which provides both wheeled and tracked variants, is a rugged, reliable small-unit force multiplier providing increased battlefield capabilities. As a controller-less small-unit robotic follower, it lightens the load across different combat operations. As a remote-controlled or tele-operated team mate, it provides stand-off from threats or increased projection of combat power. The MUTT is engineered to easily evolve to accommodate new payloads, including Intelligence, Surveillance, Target Acquisition and Reconnaissance (ISTAR) and Lethality, and proven levels of enhanced autonomy that we are already fielding elsewhere.
