Afghanistan - Where empires go to Die. Going clear back to the Persians & the empire of Alexander The Great.
Getting Osama bin Laden - It'd have been quicker & a Helluva Lot Cheaper to Contract him out to Private Sector Pros - Let the Mafia do it. There's precedent ... The U.S. used Lucky Luciano's connections to facilitate the invasion of Sicily in WWII.
... "Now that Orange Man BAD! can't get credit for it." - Ain't that Right, Jim?
"The Best time to get out of Afghanistan is the day before we got in. The Second best time is tomorrow." - 'Publican Congressman Matt Goetz ... Eight Months Ago
"Good Job Democrats! ... You've made Matt Goetz The Voice Of REASON!" - Lefty Commentator Jimmy Dore in the vid in my comment above
Jac - Here's the First showing of the Body Cam footage - "... graphic & unedited" @ 7:00
Note that the Body Cam mic picks up distant traffic noise, but No sound of Any gunfire.
Note that the gun is pointed into the car. Firing a gun within a large room Significantly increases the decibels (Trust Me!)
Firing a service pistol essentially In A Vehicle would be Deafening.
Note that she appears to Understand & then responds to the rather quiet spoken comment of Big Guy cop.
If she'd just fired That weapon under Those circumstances, I Strongly Doubt if she'd have been able to immediately engage in conversation. Her hearing may've been Significantly impaired for Days.
We'd both joke(?) that she acquired me the same way one takes in a stray pet - She fed me & then I wouldn't Go Away.
The Most Fantastic example in History of a stray pet being taken in. An injured scruffy mutt shows up at Milwaukee Brewers training camp & someone offers him some scrambled eggs - Long story short ...
Foodie blog AND a Dog ... Fay be the newest Brewers fan ...
I find NO Evidence of Any gunfire on the Body Cam footage. (Could be Wrong - But I'm Not SEEIN' it or HEARIN' it )
Which begs the questions - HOW does one get shot in the absence of Gunfire? Hence - WAS he shot?? The Evidence on the Body Cam footage that Wright got shot is the cop Saying she shot him.
Yeah. I know ... We're meandering ever closer to Info Wars territory.
The Differences in the two vids Are - The gun in the 2nd vid Noticeably produces a Report (Bang) - Recoil (Kick) - and Muzzle Flash.
ALL of which Will take place when guns of the type in Both vids are Fired. And NONE of which apparently take place in the 1st vid - The Body Cam footage of the Daunte Wright shooting.
Presumably, cops wear Body Cams to provide Evidence in incidents such as Officer Involved Shootings. From the Body Cam footage - I(!) see NO Evidence(!) of a gun being Fired. No Bang - No Kick - No Muzzle Flash.
It's claimed that there incidents of parents flatly denying their kids to increase the kids' chances of staying in the U.S. Reportedly, DNA testing is used to prove kids' relationship to parents & the families are turned away.

That's a Diet cake -No frosting cuz one wouldn't want to cover up the design on the top of it.
