News - Prosecution of Jan 6 rioters shifts to more serious
Over 300 witnesses have willingly testified before the special Jan 6 committee investigating the Capitol Riot.
With much of the less severe cases already prosecuted, there is now a upshift to the prosecution of more severe cases. For instance, 11 members of the right wing terrorists group, 'Oathkeepers' have been indicted and charged with conspiracy and sedition. A guilty finding will carry up to a 20 year prison sentence.
In addition the Jan 6 committee is now also focused on better confining the spread of lies on social media leading to to conspiracy and sedition.
Again with over 300 witnesses willingly testifying to the committee, they already have a lot of evidence, and a good understanding of most that went on. So, what will likely follow this phase will be the prosecution of those who conducted the most violence, and finally those who planned and inspired the attempt to overthrow the lawful transfer of presidential power with lies.
Yeah, for those who have been evading justice, the time left in their stall is closing in on them, including those, who have refused to testify, as part of a cover up.

3 Police officers shot in Houston - Suspect caught by good Samaritan
A gunman shot three cops in Houston in the middle of a wild car chase across the city that ended with him barricaded in a house on Thursday, police said.
The three wounded officers were hospitalized with non-life-threatening injuries and in stable condition, authorities said in a media briefing.
“All three officers are in good spirits, all were talkative,” Houston Mayor Sylvester Turner told reporters after meeting with the officers at Memorial Hermann Hospital.
The gunman was arrested after an hours-long standoff at a house in Houston’s Fifth Ward on Thursday night. He surrendered and walked out of the house with his hands raised at 7:45 p.m.
The suspect had a gunshot wound to the neck, officials said.
Police were called to a home on Trolley Street at 2:42 p.m. over an unspecified disturbance but a man inside spotted cops and ran out of the home. He sped away in a car before crashing at McGowen Street in the city’s Third Ward, Police Chief Troy Finner said.
As police got out of their vehicle, the man opened fire with what is believed to be an automatic weapon and struck the three officers, Finner said. One cop was hit in the leg, another in the arm, and the third in a foot, authorities said.
First video shows the shootout:
Second video shows the suspect takedown by a civilian good Samaritan:
Sources tell KPRC 2 that the suspect is 31-year-old Roland Caballero.
According to a criminal history record from the Texas Department of Public Safety, Caballero has been arrested multiple times since 2008 - when he was 18 years old.

UK will be one of first countries out of Covid pandemic, says expert
In response to: The UK is set to be among the first countries to emerge from the Covid pandemic, an expert has claimed.
Tuesday saw 379 Covid deaths, the highest number since February last year, but cases were falling as 120,821 were recorded.
Professor David Heymann, from the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine (LSHTM), said the UK is starting to see signs of the disease becoming endemic.
Speaking at a Chatham House online briefing, he said the UK is likely one of the countries with the highest levels of population immunity.
Prof Heymann said the Covid pandemic would not be declared over across the globe “until all countries have completed what they need to do to make this virus more tame and to become endemic”.
He said: “In general, now, the countries that we know best in the northern hemisphere have varying stages of the pandemic.
“And probably, in the UK, it’s the closest to any country of being out of the pandemic if it isn’t already out of the pandemic and having the disease as endemic as the other four coronaviruses.”
The professor said the population immunity was already high in the UK.
He added: “That means immunity against serious illness and death after infection if one is vaccinated, or after re-infection if one has had illness before, and that population immunity seems to be keeping the virus and its variants at bay, not causing serious illness or death in countries where population immunity is high.
“I looked at the ONS (Office for National Statistics) most recent report on population immunity and they estimated about 95 per cent of the population in England and a little less than in other parts of the United Kingdom do have antibody to infection either from vaccination or from natural infection.
“And that antibody, as I said, is keeping the virus at bay. And it’s now functioning more like an endemic coronavirus than one that is a pandemic.”
Elsewhere in the interview, Prof Heymann was quick to draw attention to the fact the majority of those who were seriously ill had not been vaccinated against coronavirus.
“If you look in the intensive care units, you’ll see that unfortunately the majority of those people are not vaccinated,” he said.

Biden loses again
In a 6-3 decision SCOTUS has decided the OSHA vaccine mandate is unconstitutional!
The Supreme Court on Thursday issued mixed rulings in a pair of cases challenging Biden administration COVID-19 vaccine mandates, allowing the requirement for certain health care workers to go into effect while blocking enforcement of a mandate for businesses with 100 or more employees.
The latter, an Occupational Safety and Health Administration rule that took effect on Monday, said that businesses with at least 100 employees needed to require workers to get vaccinated, or get tested weekly and wear a mask.
The Court ruled that OSHA lacked the authority to impose such a mandate because the law that created OSHA "empowers the Secretary to set workplace safety standards, not broad public health measures."

Don't tase me bro...
The headlines stated a New York man burst into flames after officers used a taser to subdue him. Some details were he appeared intoxicated and doused himself with hand sanitizer. Admitted to a burn unit, the man died 6 weeks later.
The New York attorney general is investigating the man's death.
I've read elsewhere that alcohol based sanitizer can be flammable and the taser had enough electrical energy to set off a spark.
Unfortunately, it was an attempt to subdue the man so he didn't hurt himself.
Enter that parameter into the 'Police training simulator'
