The Thoughts And Feelings Of A Police Officer Who Just Shot Someone To Death
I was involved in my first on duty shooting incident. And I killed someone. It is considered a justified shooting, but never the less its been keeping me up at night. And I thought maybe sharing it will help me process what happened.
I was watching a red light that’s known to produce some speeders and considered a dangerous intersection.
When I witnessed a car run the red light at a high rate of speed. I began pursuit, thinking it was a normal traffic stop. The car pulled over shortly after I began the pursuit.

Family Rescued From Car Dangling Off Freeway Bridge
A mother and her two children were in their car when it was clipped from behind by a big-rig gravel truck and left dangling over the side of an overpass on the 101 Freeway south of Buellton, Calif.
The truck that hit the BMW went over the side and plunged into a creek bed, killing the driver.
The rescue effort was aided by a group of Navy Seabees from Port Hueneme who were stuck in southbound traffic near the accident.
They were able to use a forklift they were transporting to help prevent the BMW from sliding off the bridge.

What Is An Example of Modern Slavery?
An example can be seen in Qatar with the building of the infrastructure for the 2022 Fifa World cup.
They attracted workers from vulnerable countries in South Asia and the middle east such as Nepal, Pakistan and Bangladesh using a “sponsorship” system.
Qatar basically pays for them to come over then they pay back the debt to Qatar while working.
However, when the workers arrives ALL their wages are witheld for the “debt” so they cannot to afford to leave.

4 Barreled .22cal Nazi Belt Buckle Gun
The Marquis Belt Buckle pistol, also known informally as the Power Pelvis Gun, was conceived by Louis Marquis while interned in a POW camp during World War I. Frustrated by long chow and loo lines, Marquis was consumed by a desire to exert his authority over other POW’s without drawing the attention of guards – hence the idea for a concealed weapon not requiring the use of hands or traditional holsters. Named the Koppelschlosspistole, the design was patented before the outbreak of World War II. The patent was issued in late 1934 for a “trommelrevolver” to be mounted on a belt. Both .22 (four barrel) and .32 (two barrel) versions were produced in very limited numbers.
