I assume it’s due to the fact it’s a big asset that is not inherently an offensive threat?

It doesn't really need to go in the open ocean to be a threat, though. That's kind of the point of it.

Yeah, their AWACS. My incredulity is more that the Russians/Chinese let them get close enough to fire their guns at the most valuable asset in the area.

cops walk away from getting doused with ice water and having bucket thrown at them

Of course the police chief says that the officers involved in not shooting everyone who was there will be disciplined.


CNN posted:

The officers in Harlem were responding to reports of a disorderly group when they saw someone they recognized with an outstanding warrant, Monahan told his fellow officers. As chief of department, Monahan supervises uniformed patrol commanders and is the NYPD's highest-ranked uniformed member.

"As they're making that arrest, there are a couple of guys who thought it was all right to throw water and a bucket at the cops," he said. "Well, that ain't all right."

The officers called for backup and the group scattered, Monahan said.

In the Brooklyn incident, the officers were walking away from a call when they were attacked with water, Monahan said. He then criticized the officer, who continued walking away after being doused.

"Any cop who thinks that that's all right, that they can walk away from something like that, maybe should reconsider whether or not this is the profession for them," he said to applause. "We don't take that."

A senior NYPD official told CNN the police involved in the videos "should have taken action and they'll be reprimanded for not doing so."


So wait, the cops didn't shoot a bunch of potentially unarmed men and will now be disciplined for showing restraint.

In American policing sadly there's a lot fewer steps between the two than you would think. Not drawing down, and walking away was the smarter choice, because they were outnumbered 10 to 2. If they'd decided to make an issue of it I don't see an option that ends without someone getting shot, because odds are at least one of the persons who wasn't a cop was armed (either an instigator or a bystander) but wasn't openly showing it off.

American cops have shot unarmed men for far less.

So bust out the batons over some water? The cops walking away is the best outcome for everyone, in all honesty good for them for recognizing that (for once).

swine all around

quote:

But amid Mader’s attempts to convince Williams to drop the weapon, two veteran officers arrived on the scene and, almost immediately, shot and killed Williams.

Mader, an Iraq and Afghanistan war veteran, received a termination letter 10 days later, which claimed that he failed to respond to the threat.
....
The city said in a statement that the decision to settle was a call made by its insurance provider, and that it stood by its decision to fire Mader.

I will not shut up about the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers. I talk about them all the time and work them into every conversation I have. I built a shrine in my room for the yellow one who died because sadly no one noticed because she died around 9/11. Wanna see it?
So much about these clowns annoy me but it might be their persecution complex that enrages me the most.
