Dancing Policeman in “The Most Dangerous City in the Nordics”

May 14, 2012

The Swedish city of Malmö has gained a reputation as being one of the most violent cities in Scandinavia, where murders and race riots abound. That being said, it is also (apparently) home to some of the most awesome police officers, who go out of their way to protect the citizens who follow the law, and track down those who don’t. When the cops aren’t doing that, they’re apparently doing what everyone else wishes they were doing: dancing in the street. Take a look.

Sam Harris: A Response to “In Defense of Profiling”

0

By Cold Henry

In his recent (April 28th 2012) post, Sam Harris defends the process of “profiling” to further security in airports by saying that we should focus on certain religious groups (note: not ethnic groups) that are more likely to be terrorists than others. After all, the last few years, we’ve seen more religious terror than political such, which makes that statement somewhat sensible. There are a couple of major flaws in Harris’s reasoning, however.

By Daylight

The NYC Department of Records has released a treasure trove of old NYPD evidence photos, and uploaded to their website, which is here. The images range from mildly interesting (such as the pictures of 1915 automobile engines and instruction booklets on how to find out where the hell all that oil is coming from) to gruesome and detailed images of murder scenes, victims still present, on roads, in beds, a couple of dead guys tossed down an elevator shaft, and other unsavory locations. Such as the Bronx, where people were just tossed under railroad bridges, apparently. Those who are really ...

By NBC News Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton told reporters Tuesday that terrorists keep trying to come up with “more and more perverse and terrible ways to kill innocent people,” after a plot by al-Qaida’s affiliate in Yemen to bomb a U.S.-bound airliner was foiled by the CIA. U.S. officials said Monday that the plot involved a bomb that improved on the one that had been sewn into the underpants of Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab, who failed in a plot to blow up a Detroit-bound airliner on Christmas Day 2009. —- In addition to being a threat to commercial planes, ...
