Do not fucking reskeet the still shot of Alex Pretti being shot. I don’t care if it’s being used to show parallels to the Nazis
Fucking put a godamned warning on that image. Jesus. What is wrong with you people.

I can't find anything in the acts of Parliament that establish Combined Authority Mayors that even allows for a mayoral by-election. The nearest thing I can find is that a Deputy Mayor must take on the Mayor's functions in the even of a vacancy.

Brianna was not murdered by a phone. She was murdered with knives by two 15-year-old kids who grew up in the toxic atmosphere of British society, fed by the media and government.
We know this because phones are not capable of penetrating human skin 28 times, across her head, neck, chest, and back.

It's a bold strategy for Labour to let Jonathon Ashworth - a man who helped gift Donald Trump the US Presidency and lost his own seat in Labour's landslide victory - run in this by election, but I'm all for it.

Turn Gorton Green. Don't allow Labour to let the far right in.
Labour's ruling committee, which is stuffed full of allies of Keir Starmer and Morgan McSweeney, has just blocked Andy Burnham from standing to be an MP in Gorton and Denton.
The odds of Labour losing this previously safe seat to Reform now look much higher

It took me two seconds to type "gas mask" into Amazon, and that's in the UK. Pam Bondi is fucking thick.
Bondi: "It's extremely organized. The signs they have are all matching, they're well written. And look at what's happening today. How did these people go out & get gas masks? These protesters. Would you know how to walk out on the street and buy a gas mask? Think about that. We're not gonna have it"

Our initial analysis is up.
The video footage appears to show that the gun was taken away from the man before he was shot.
He was UNARMED before any of the shots were fired.

So I watched the shooting video frame by frame and it looks like:
1) They were beating a struggling man with batons
2) His jacket opened revealing a gun in his waistband or lower back
3) The agent in gray grabbed the gun and was walking away
4) THEN the other agents shot the man in the back
