Police say suspect dressed as law enforcement and shot at responding officers before escaping
I’m just gonna say. Might the suspect have been a police officer? I wouldn’t trust the police to disclose that.
I mean if they are wearing a uniform and emerged from a cop car as eyewitness accounts suggest…
The gunman was still at large, law enforcement said on Saturday, and the city of Brooklyn Park was still under a shelter-in-place order. The shooter was impersonating a police officer, dressed in a uniform that would appear to be real to most people, police said.“They did drive a vehicle that looked exactly like an SUV squad car,” Brooklyn Park’s police chief, Mark Bruley, said at a press conference. “It was equipped with lights, emergency lights, that looked exactly like a police vehicle, and yes, they were wearing a vest with Taser, other equipment, a badge very similar to mine, that, no question, if they were in this room, you would assume that they are a police officer.”

Israeli fire kills 35 people in Gaza, many at aid site, medics say
CAIRO, June 14 (Reuters) - Israeli fire and airstrikes killed at least 35 Palestinians across the Gaza Strip, most of them near an aid distribution site operated by the U.S.-backed Gaza Humanitarian Foundation, local health authorities said.
Medics at Al-Awda and Al-Aqsa Hospitals in central Gaza areas, where most of the casualties were moved to, said at least 15 people were killed as they tried to approach the GHF aid distribution site near the Netzarim corridor.

US Marines make first detention in LA as more protests expected
LOS ANGELES, June 13 (Reuters) - U.S. Marines deployed to Los Angeles made their first detention of a civilian on Friday, part of a rare use of military force to support domestic police and coming ahead of national protests over President Donald Trump's military parade in Washington.
The detention of the man, a U.S. Army veteran and an immigrant who obtained U.S. citizenship, punctuated a series of highly unusual events that have appealed to Trump supporters but outraged other Americans who are demonstrating discontent in the streets.

Netanyahu’s Official Jet Touches Down in Athens Following Israeli Strikes
The sudden movement of Netanyahu’s aircraft comes just hours after Israeli forces reportedly launched strikes against Iranian targets, a move likely to further inflame an already volatile regional standoff.
While no official statement has been made by either the Israeli or Greek governments confirming Netanyahu’s presence on the flight, the aircraft’s status as Israel’s designated presidential jet has led to widespread speculation.
Kennard, co-founder of Declassified UK, a British investigative outlet, further raised the question of whether Greece is now providing shelter to a “war crimes fugitive”—a reference to the International Criminal Court (ICC) proceedings against Netanyahu.

La Francia intensifica la guerra alla pirateria sportiva con il blocco degli IP in tempo reale
Il Senato francese ha approvato una nuova legge anti-pirateria che apre le porte al blocco automatico degli indirizzi IP. Questa spinta legislativa è sostenuta da un accordo parallelo e “segreto” tra i detentori di diritti sportivi e i principali ISP, che mira ad automatizzare gli sforzi antipirateria e a semplificare le richieste di blocco diretto. I titolari dei diritti sperano che questi nuovi poteri contribuiscano a contrastare l'economia “mafiosa” della pirateria.
Le misure tradizionali di blocco dei siti, che impongono agli ISP locali di bloccare l'accesso degli abbonati ai siti pirata più popolari, sono state utilizzate dai titolari dei diritti in Francia per anni. L'obiettivo è quello di scoraggiare la pirateria rendendo i siti più difficili da trovare, ma queste misure sono solo parzialmente efficaci.
Più recentemente, le richieste di blocco dei siti hanno preso di mira altri intermediari. Ai fornitori di DNS, tra cui Google e Cloudflare, e a diversi dei maggiori fornitori di VPN, è stato ordinato di rendere i siti pirata non disponibili attraverso i loro servizi.

Two Days Talking to People Looking for Jobs at ICE
cross-posted from: piefed.social/post/930949
Customs and Border Patrol, the Coast Guard, and the Secret Service were all recruiting at the event, but ICE was the main draw. Far more applicants stood in line to submit their resumes for deportation officer than for any other position on offer in the cavernous room.Naturally there were a large number of law enforcement types hanging around the convention—men with military fades, moisture-wicking shirts, and tattoos of the bible and the constitution and eagles and flags distended across their arms. But there were also a handful of women ICE applicants and a lot of men of color. The deportation officer applicant pool was, I felt, shockingly diverse—one might say it looked like America. The whole place looked and felt like America.

Israele ottiene il dominio aereo sull'Iran
Secondo i funzionari militari israeliani, l'aviazione israeliana ha acquisito un controllo duraturo sullo spazio aereo iraniano in seguito a una serie di attacchi coordinati contro i sistemi di difesa aerea, le basi militari e i siti di lancio di Teheran.
Dopo un'importante salva iniziale nelle prime ore del 13 giugno, gli aerei israeliani hanno continuato le operazioni in profondità nel territorio iraniano, eliminando sistematicamente i sistemi missilistici terra-aria (SAM) e neutralizzando le strutture militari ritenute in grado di minacciare le forze o il territorio israeliano.
In un filmato appena pubblicato, le Forze di Difesa Israeliane (IDF) hanno mostrato attacchi di precisione contro risorse chiave iraniane, tra cui la distruzione di un sistema di difesa aerea Tor-M1 di fabbricazione russa e di un lanciamissili balistici Fateh-110. Entrambi sarebbero stati colpiti da missili da crociera lanciati dall'aria israeliana durante le ondate successive dell'operazione.
La campagna in corso, lanciata nell'ambito della risposta israeliana all'escalation delle minacce iraniane, sembra focalizzata a degradare la rete di difesa aerea integrata della Repubblica Islamica, in gran parte sviluppata con la tecnologia e il supporto russo.
