I don't care about your opinion of law enforcement. When cops are being openly targeted in a society then you're seeing a societal collapse. We aren't far from the wild west days. Its painful to say but if you're not a concealed weapon carrier then its past time you got your act together and gunned up. Think about it. If some slime will shoot a cop what do you think he'll do to you?BREAKING: 3 police officers have been shot in Houston

Is this pic real? Is this the F-35C that fell off our carrier floating in the ocean?
Looks like we have an image of the F-35C that dropped into the sea after making a hard landing on USS Carl Vinson. https://t.co/br4RYkVPyw

Russia moves elite paratroopers to Ukraine border amid fears of assault on Kiev
via Mirror
Russia has for the first time moved elite paratroopers close to its border with Ukraine amid fears of a military operation to grab capital Kyiv, it is reported.
A train with the crack troops and their equipment was spotted moving west towards the potential war zone and appears to be the 217th Guards Parachute Regiment of the 98th Airborne Division.
The deployment was seen passing through Russia’s Bryansk region which borders both Ukraine and Belarus, as shown in a video posted on TikTok.
An analysis by respected independent Russian researchers known as the Conflict Intelligence Team (CIT) indicates the tarpaulin-covered armoured vehicles in the video are BMD-4M airborne combat vehicles and BTR-MDM airborne armoured personnel carriers.
“The train includes five passenger carriages, which can carry more than 250 people,” said the CIT.

Did Russia and Ukraine just solve this mess?
Interesting.JUST IN: Russia and Ukraine reps agree to "support unconditional observance of the cease fire" of 2020, and meet again in two weeks in Berlin, per communique of representatives at Normandy Format talks in Paris. pic.twitter.com/uLzFadljW6

Did we just see a massive show of force, a rattling of Europe's cage and a sign that Russia's boundaries (as they see them) will be respected or they'll act?
I wonder.
It's quite interesting. I want to see how this plays out but we could be looking at the ONLY exit ramp off this drum beat to a big fight.
Russia has been warning us for decades...
Thanks to Thiago for the link!
Note! Russia has a viewpoint. Even if you don't agree with it you have to take it into consideration if you want ANY chance of de-escalating this. Consider the article and dare to think!

When I was a journalist for The Times (London) in Moscow in December 1992, I saw a print-out of a speech by the then Russian foreign minister, Andrei Kozyrev, warning that if the West continued to attack vital Russian interests and ignore Russian protests, there would one day be a dangerous backlash. A British journalist had scrawled on it a note to an American colleague, “Here are more of Kozyrev’s ravings.”Andrei Kozyrev was the most liberal and pro-Western foreign minister Russia has ever had. As he stated in his speech, his anxiety about Western behavior was rooted in fear that the resulting backlash would destroy liberalism in Russia and Russian co-operation with the West. He was proved right as we see today. Yet when he expressed this fear, in entirely moderate and rational terms, he was instinctively dismissed by western observers as virtually insane.The point about this history is that the existing crisis with Russia has origins that go far beyond Putin. Russia has a foreign and security blob, just as does the United States, with a set of semi-permanent beliefs about Russian vital interests rooted in national history and culture, which are shared by large parts of the population. These include the exclusion of hostile military alliances from Russia’s neighborhood and the protection of the political position and cultural rights of Russian minorities.
