Clearly sounds like self-defense because the officer felt threatened by her
I guess all charges against the officer will be dropped in no time

An Antifa member has been murdered. Don't know motive yet.

Turkey-Syria offensive: 'Hundreds' of IS relatives escape camp
Hundreds of foreigners affiliated with the Islamic State group (IS) have escaped from a camp in northern Syria amid a Turkish offensive, Kurdish officials say.

They say detainees attacked gates at the Ain Issa displacement camp as fighting raged nearby.

Turkey launched an assault last week aimed at driving Kurdish-led forces from the region.

The UN says 130,000 people have fled their homes, and the figure may rise.

Turkey accuses the Kurds of being terrorists and says it wants to force them away from a "safe zone" reaching some 30km into Syria.

It also plans to resettle more than three million Syrian refugees who are currently in Turkey inside the zone.

President Donald Trump's decision to withdraw US troops from the area effectively triggered the Turkish incursion against the Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) - the main Western allies in the fight against IS.

Separately on Sunday, US Defence Secretary Mark Esper told CBS News the US was now preparing to evacuate about 1,000 troops who remain in northern Syria.

Black woman shot dead by Texas police through bedroom window

A black woman was shot dead by police through a bedroom window on Saturday morning, following a request to check on her welfare.

Atatiana Jefferson, 28, had been staying at the Fort Worth residence with her eight-year-old nephew.

A neighbour said he called a non-emergency number after becoming worried in the early hours about an open door.

Police have released body cam footage of the incident, which shows a confrontation lasting only seconds.

The clip shows officers circulating the perimeter of the residential property and spotting a figure at the window. After demanding the person put their hands up, an officer then fired a shot through the glass.

The Fort Worth Police Department said in a statement that the officer, who is a white man, had "perceived a threat" when he drew his weapon.

He has been placed on administrative leave pending an investigation, officials added.

The shooting happened at about 02:30 local time (07:30 GMT) on Saturday morning.

Although it is edited, the body cam footage does not appear to show the officers identifying themselves as police.

It does not show footage from inside the property but includes images of a weapon that police say they found inside the bedroom.

It is unclear if Ms Jefferson was holding a weapon at the time, but firearm possession is legal for people aged over 18 in Texas.

Police said officers provided emergency medical care to Ms Jefferson at the scene, but she was declared dead at the property.

No reason to ... we don't even take away peoples rights to watch Fox News or read Breitbart,
despite them being pure right wing propaganda channels
(except for a few rare exceptions on Fox News ... like Shepard Smith ... who recently was fired for being too non partisan and caring more for truth than for supporting Trump)

Oh I can think of a lot of reasons to take CNN out. They perpetrated the Russia Hoax on the people of the world, even you. Not only that but I've seen on CNN people say that there was no collusion and the journos say, "A lot of people think there was." A lot of people think the earth is flat, so what? But CNN didn't con people into believing that the earth is flat so they don't say, "Well a lot of people think the earth is flat."

So yeah, since you like to take people's rights away because you think you are so wise we should also take out the enemy of the people. Fake news is a weapon. Journos are the absolute worst kind of people. Gun owners are good, honest hardworking citizens in comparison.

That's fine but since you like to take people's rights away you should shut down CNN.

From oneof the survivors of the Synagogue Shooting in Halle:
https://edition.cnn.com/2019/10/11/o...gel/index.html

She says that it is thanks to german gun control, that she (and others) survived
(and right she is ... had the terrorist been able to buy firearms as freely as in the USA, it surely would have been a massacre ... and not "just" 2 victims)

"Cleaning your room" is very good advice.
