@@NocturnalPyro what makes you think that gun laws prevent access to guns? Criminals gain access to firearms all the time when they should not have them.

[@norrecvizharan1177]

@@NocturnalPyro Sadly, the phrase "where there's a will, there's a way" applies to all sorts of things, and criminals WILL find a way to obtain guns regardless of how heavily restricted (or even banned) they are in the area, that's just a fact. And if said area was heavily regulated too much, there wouldn't have been civilians to help the cops like there was in this situation. Gotta strike a good balance, cause too many guns means too much possibility for bad people to nab em, but too few means that barely any of the sane ones can defend themselves if it comes to it.

Absolutely nothing rusty there! & This was RIGHT after the other officer told them they'd handle it & they could put away their firepower & I think he said something about them going inside but I'm not for sure if that was what he said & to whom did he say it.

What foreign business u got

[@mediumsurmoon6283]

@@redmengoals3295 making sure USD is the world’s reserve currency through the petroldollar scheme and also making sure that other countries do not trade their oils with any other currency BUT the USD, so again, it remains as the world’s reserve currency. With a huge population, if Asia and Africa develop rapidly, the share of the US' economy shrinks, then the Euro could replace it as the world's reserve currency. When that happens, the US would no longer be able to print money out of nothing without a hyper inflation like Venezuela. Then the size of the US economy has to fall back to the fundamentals, which today is quite a lot smaller than the inflated economy. That's why no country in Eurasia is allowed to catch up with the US' economy. When Japan was catching up fast on the US in the 1980s, they were knocked down to a three decade stagnancy by appreciating the Japanese Yen. And in the last 30 years, the US created conflicts, wars and color revolutions in the Middle East, Central Asia and Africa to destabilise the Eurasia-Africa supercontinent. When the US prints a lot of money, other countries' foreign reserves in dollars shrink in value. Furthermore, to prevent exports to the US becoming expensive, these countries have to print money too, which devalues the savings of the people, and causing inflations in these countries. It's estimated that our savings devalue by 6-9% per year after the abolishment of the gold-backed Bretton Woods system, after which the US prints money based on just the creditability of the dollar. North America is relatively easy to defend, in fact it is noted to be among the few naturally best defendable region in the world, yet the US has a military budget more than the total of the next 9 countries in the top 10, to protect the dollar with its 800 military bases worldwide. Yeah, *That’s why* That’s also why the humongous oil reserves that they discovered in Alaska(?) Canada(?) won’t even matter, because it’s not about who have the biggest natural oil reserves in the world, it’s about where that oil is circulated toward and what currency it is funneled into. To be the world's reserve currency, the dollar must be circulated in the world. The US created a huge consumption-based economy and shifted manufacturing outside, so that dollars flow out of the US to product suppliers like China or Japan. To make products, China and Japan need energy. The US created the Petrol-dollar scheme, so that dollar is circulated to Saudi. With the US stock and financial market much more lucrative than other countries, the dollars from Saudi are attracted back to the US. Money printed in the US to exchange for goods from outside eventually ends up with the Wall Streets, where the rich gets richer. And that completes the cycle of circulation of the dollars. So basically, non of that, “I’m fighting for my country’s freedom goddamnit!!!!21!”, it’s sheer business, like what Trump said, and like any bussiness, the easiest way to rise up to the top is by making others fall. It’s the exact reason why Venezuela failed economically even though they hold the biggest oil reserves in the world, why Saddam Hussein was hunged when said he would start selling oil in Euros not Dollars, why Gaddafi was killed by US-backed NTC because he made Libya export oil in Gold Dinars instead of Dollar, why Iran was being sanctioned by the US because they’ve been trading oil in currencies other than US dollars since 2011 (mainly with Russia), and.. the best part.. why US would vehemently back Israel up with billions of dollars in military and economical means-because? Well they Biden said it himself, the US would have to invent an Israel if there was no Israel, because Israel as a whole, their Zionism principles in a literal way agreed to work with anybody and do anything as long as it can guarantee their existence and the “retaking” of their land through any possible means, which in short, USA is turning Israel into their mediator, a branch of the USA that would dominate and control the flow of the USD so that it would remain as the world’s reserve currency. They tried it with Iraq but failed, with Libya by implanting a pro-US prime minister but failed too because the pro-US PM did it’s citizens worse than the previously villainified PM (Gaddafi). Oh my god it’ll be a whole essay If I’m going to explain it all here, I would reccomend you to just research it, and make sure to use multiple sources and references on a singular topic so as to not be mistakenly “washed” by biases nor manipulative narrations.

UPDATE: He was found guilty of two counts of attempted second-degree murder. Both Sheriff's deputies are now retired after suffering permanent damage. They were hit with birdshot, that has roughly 380 pellets a shot. Rathbun still has approximately 13 pellets lodged in his head, face and body. Two are in his forehead, two are near his jaw, six are in his sinuses, and one each are in his left knuckle and wrist. One additional pellet has also traveled behind his sinuses and below the base of his skull, and is approx four in. deep. The others are closer to the surface, but “just below” the deep layer of his skin. Rathbun’s doctor advised him to not remove the pellets in his sinuses or the one at the base of his skull, due to the risk of complications or possible infection. Thompson was hit by approx 16 pellets, including one that went behind his left eye, causing permanent damage. He still has roughly seven or eight pellets that are in a halo around his skull, in addition to the one that’s behind his eye. Most of the vision in his left eye has returned, but he has a circular bright spot across his vision almost all the time. He told the jury his low-light vision in that eye is “like wearing sunglasses at night.” As of Oct. 29th, 2024, the shooter's still awaiting criminal sentencing. And they've both also filed a civil suit against this scumbag.

They're insanely patient and have an amazing response time for how spread out the populated areas are. I had an officer save my life when i was stabbed. The ambulance arrived in two minutes flat but he kept me from going into shock and bleeding out. We also have a mental health and homeless liason, who is a regular officer with extra training in mental health. I watched a mentally unwell man flick a lit cigaret into his face. His response was to take a deep breath and proceed to talk the man away from the store where he was bothering people and to an area where he was less of a nuisance.

So she scoffs, crosses her arms & leans back as she says some version of “okay, go ahead.” (It’s not really permission as much as it is a dare that you continue with whatever you just told her you were going to do at your own peril. She’s leaning back to physically distance herself & get in a position to watch you suffer the consequences that she just warned you were coming if you proceeded.

Mental health is a huge issue here. Thank God the officers are ok and the civilians were there to assist. Well done gentlemen

He was High as a Kite, I don't know what on, but he Blamed the Neighbors for his shooting of the Police, he was totally out of it.

[@zeblackboi]

Wait, but mental health is highly celebrated, though.

[@Jaystarzgaming]

Sleep deprivation is a problem, Drugs are a problem. Moderation of alcohol is fine and too much alcohol will make people brain dead. Don’t drink water and don’t eat anything you will die in a number of weeks drink too much water you can drown eat too much food that will cause diabetes eat enough food and drink enough water you will be fine but also listen to the gut to feel or hear what it needs and what it doesn’t need.

Mental health is THE issue in America. Too many crazies, not enough funding for healthcare, so the public has to deal with it. Whether it's this kinda guy or some loony-tunes yelling at people on an NYC subway train. America really needs mental health medical interventions.

[@eshafbgig]

Mental health is a huge problem in America it seems in these last few years. Sure, the shooter was high as a kite but there was still major mental instability at play here.

"im just trying to... Bleed here." Okay then. Badass.

[@kellysong2256]

God bless these heroic men who rendered aid to the first responders and put their own safety on the line as well 🙏💙

[@stevenbuell5387]

There ex military . These cops or a joke 😅 .

[@fluffernutter6633]

Amazing how a neighborhood of responsible gun owners neutralizes a single irresponsible gun possessor, it's almost like good people with guns are the kryptonite of bad people with guns. 🤔

[@weemissile]

Stuff like this is why I like the internet. Back in the day of something like this happened it would likely have been ignored by the media. But now these heroes can get the recognition they deserve.

[@activision4170]

Goes both ways tho

[@icallmysugarcandy]

To the officers, I’m so glad to hear you’re both okay.❤ And to those neighbours, you guys were amazing. Thank you for not hesitating to help those officers ❤ All of you are heroes.❤

[@BleedingWhiteKnuckles]

A year of paid leave for a few bb wounds? Thats really tough guys they have there! But with people like you never questioning their absurd spending of your tax dollars it'll just continue! Think about it, you already pay law enforcement very well and give them great benefits because of their "line of duty and risks associated" right? So why would you also allow a year of paid leave for light wounds? Not a single corporation would keep a man on the books if he was gone a while year(even if their gone serving our country!) So why allow government employees to do it, while taxes simultaneously and continuously go up?

[@stickykitty]

Those neighbours who saved the officers deserve recognition

[@pirtatejoe]

The cops just need to get out of their way. Seems like they were able to take care of things pretty well.

[@ForstalCake1]

​@@pirtatejoe They called the cops in the first hand so ya, and plus it's better to let the cops handle it because you can get into legal trouble

[@Jason_The_Stooge]

They did, this incident was on a TV show called bodycam. They were published as heros

[@stickykitty]

@@Jason_The_Stooge Thanks for the info So glad for them They were all bad ass!

[@comradeofchrist]

It's problem that this wicked society thinks otherwise

[@Annakaydyct]

Cop "....well thats different 😳" 😂😂😂

[@mikeydeangelis6049]

“I’m just trying to bleed here” badass, man

[@BirdTalk13]

Indeed!

[@WolfZiLLA84]

"Ain't got time to bleed." From the movie Predator comes to mind..
