NYPD Suspends Officer For Saying “Trump 2020” Over Loud Speaker While Being Taunted by Antifa

The New York City Police Department has suspended an officer without pay after he was filmed saying “Trump 2020” over a loud speaker while a member of Antifa taunted him.

NYPD Commissioner Dermot Shea said that the incident was “one hundred percent unacceptable.”

In the video, a member of Antifa is heard repeatedly screeching at the officer, calling him a fascist and demanding that he say he supports Trump.

After the video began to go viral, the NYPD News account tweeted that the Brooklyn South Investigation Unit was investigating the matter.

NYPD Commissioner Dermot Shea tweeted that “Law Enforcement must remain apolitical, it is essential in our role to serve ALL New Yorkers regardless of any political beliefs.”

New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio also commented on the footage on Twitter, saying “Let me be clear: ANY NYPD Officer pushing ANY political agenda while on duty will face consequences. We will act fast here, and this will not be tolerated.”

On Sunday afternoon, the NYPD announced that the officer is suspended without pay effective immediately while he was under investigation.

The Police Benevolent Association, one of the largest police unions representing New York City officers, has enthusiastically endorsed President Donald Trump’s reelection.

A Free Press Has A Responsibility To Be Fair

Surging Media Bias has blown away the notion the free press will be fair and this year it seems these players that shape our opinions are doubling down. This was demonstrated when allegations regarding Hunter Biden and a laptop with damning E-mails surfaced. Rather than letting people see and decide what to think about this information the response of Twitter and Facebook, was to shut it down and block it from getting out. This is where the power of tech companies flexing their muscles allows us to see they have become a major force in the media. Other news outlets also imposed a virtual blackout on the allegations. It didn’t matter that thousands of emails were available for review or that the Bidens did not directly address the material. It was all declared to be fake news.

The idea of having a press that is free to cover the news is generally linked to the idea they will be fair because the freedom of free speech generally comes with a degree of responsibility. A common example is how freedom of speech should give someone the right to speak their mind but not scream fire in a crowded theater. This is where discussions concerning the press and President Trump get sticky. Somewhere in what often slips into an argument is the role of the media in presenting an unbiased view of events. This is complicated by the fact many news outlets have moved more towards an entertainment format. Rather than presenting the cold hard facts, they have found it is sensationalism that draws viewers.

The White House, in an unprecedented decision to disregard their agreement with CBS News, recently released their footage of an interview between President Trump and Leslie Stahl of 60 Minutes. The President claimed in a Facebook post that a full video revealed "bias, hatred and rudeness" on Stahl's part. Interestingly, no matter how rude or contentious Stahl became an overwhelming majority of those in the media say the footage revealed no such thing. CBS said it only shows Stahl asking firm questions about the coronavirus and other topics.

It is during such interviews that we get an opportunity to witness examples of just how badly you can treat a guest invited to answer questions. This includes over the top efforts to put words in someone's mouth and take statements out of context. When the guest represents views differing from the interviewer or media outlet doing the interview what we often see is an ambush. If a guest is favored or their views are endorsed it is often as though they had written the softball questions asked of them or as if he/she had seen the questions in advance or controlled the interview. This can be backed up by a series of scripted statements that all loop back around to support a hard or subliminal message. With such coverage being very common it is little wonder that Americans question the honesty of the media whose ranks appear to have become filled with opportunists and bums dressed as journalists.

Azerbaijani Military Used Israeli ‘Non-Line-Of-Sight’ Missiles Against Armenian Forces

On October 25, the Ministry of Defense of Azerbaijan shared, for the first time, a video of recent strikes with Israeli-made Spike NLOS missiles on Armenian troops in the disputed region of Nagorno-Karabakh.

The video shows strikes on 2 T-72 battles tanks, 2 BM-21 multiple rocket launchers, 2 BMP-1 infantry fighting vehicles, 2 D-30 howitzers, 2 trucks, 2 posts and 2 depots.

The Spike NLOS [Non-Line-Of-Sight] is an anti-armor missile with a range of up to 25 km. The missile is equipped an EO-IR/CCD seeker and a secure data-line which enable “man-in-the-loop” guidance.

Azerbaijan purchased at least 250 missiles of this type from Israel’s Rafael Advanced Defense Systems a few years ago. A number of Azerbaijani Mi-17 helicopters were modified to launch the missile.

The Azerbaijani MoD also released videos showing recent drone and missile strikes on Armenian military equipment. The strikes destroyed 7 D-30 howitzers, 2 D-20 howitzers, 2 2S1 Gvozdika self-propelled howitzers, 2 BM-21 multiple rocket launchers, 1 T-72 battle tank, 4 trucks, 3 ammunition nests and 1 post.

Despite their heavy losses, Armenian forces defending Nagorno-Karabakh have not collapsed yet. Azerbaijani forces maintain a steady but slow advance in the region.
