Can someone confirm? On my mobile and this refuses to open.

>>56183
It's legit, FOX is also reporting on this. Current body count is 3-6 cops dead. The media has been instructed to hide behind buildings, since there might also be a sniper.

Leave it the Aussie paper to be covering the American judicial system...

Somehow I think this one is going to be overturned on appeal anyway.

>>52253
I support this.

That's good, right?

The insurgents are using boys as honey traps, said 21-year-old Matiullah, a policeman who was the only survivor from an insider attack in Dehrawud district in spring last year.

He said the attacker was the checkpoint commander's own sex slave, a teenager called Zabihullah. Late one night, he went on a shooting spree, killing seven policemen including the commander as they slept.

"He brought the Taliban inside and poked all the bodies with rifle butts to see if anyone was alive. I pretended to be dead," said Matiullah, who now works as a tailor, pointing out a gash on his forehead.

"As his Taliban accomplices gathered our weapons and ammunition, Zabihullah declared: 'Everyone is dead'."

- 'Addiction' to boys -

The Taliban, who banned bacha bazi during their 1996-2001 rule, roundly denied deploying any underage boys for insider attacks.

"We have a special mujahideen brigade for such operations -- all grown men with beards," a Taliban spokesman told AFP.

The insurgents have long denied using children in combat, a claim repeatedly debunked by rights groups and the government.

Survivors of insider attacks who spoke to AFP, including Matiullah, suggest the Taliban are exploiting the institutionalisation of bacha bazi in police ranks for military gain.

Practically all of Uruzgan's 370 local and national police checkpoints have bachas -- some up to four -- who are illegally recruited not just for sexual companionship but also to bear arms, multiple officials said.

Some policemen, they said, demand bachas like a perk of the job, refusing to join outposts where they are not available.

Horrifying abuse at checkpoints makes the boys, many unpaid and unregistered, hungry for revenge and easy prey for Taliban recruitment -- often because there is no other escape from exploitative commanders.

Many who have tried to escape have been dragged back with trumped up charges of Taliban links, two senior provincial judges told AFP.

Boys have also spurred a deadly rivalry between policemen, with officials reporting incidents such as a public gunfight this year between two commanders in Gezab district as one of them angrily accused the other of "stealing" his bacha.

"To restore security in Uruzgan, we will first have to separate policemen from their bachas," one of the judges said.

"But if they are told to reform their ways, a common reply is: 'If you force me to abandon my boy lover, I will also abandon the checkpoint'. The Taliban are not blind to notice that this addiction is worse than opium."

- 'Male rape' -

Bacha bazi, which the US State Department has called a "culturally sanctioned form of male rape", peels away the masculine identity of boys in a society where the sexes are tightly segregated.

In conservative areas women are mostly invisible in public -- and often unattainable due to steep bride prices. Bachas supplant the role of women, adopting a feminine gait and sometimes wearing makeup and bells on their feet.

Many in Uruzgan see bacha bazi neither as paedophilia nor homosexuality, which is forbidden in Islam. If social norms had a pecking order, violating boys would be seen as far more ethical than violating women.

"Bacha bazi is pervasive sexual slavery of children, seen widely as a cultural practice and not a crime," Charu Lata Hogg, a director at London-based charity Child Soldiers International, told AFP.

"Since it is mostly practised by those in positions of power -- warlords, commanders, politicians -- it is hard to stamp out. It appears sustained partly by the fact that access to women is limited."

Insider attacks by child slaves have also been reported in recent years from neighbouring Helmand and Kandahar provinces, where bacha bazi is prevalent.

But the tactic appears more deep rooted in Uruzgan, where the boys are widely flaunted as a totem of affluence, with some officials openly displaying cellphone images to AFP of their "handsome bachas".

"Come see my beautiful bacha," said Naqibullah, a police commander in Dehjawze village near Tarin Kot, boasting that he had been holding the teenager for two years.

With a touch of kohl on his eyes, and bleached blond curly hair poking out of his embroidered hat, the boy sat in a corner of the checkpoint surrounded by opium farms, quietly refilling tea glasses for Naqibullah's guests.

- 'Predatory behaviour' -

"Commanders prowl neighbourhoods for young boys. We are scared of dressing up our children or buying new clothes that will make them attractive," said Nader Khan, a tribal elder in Dehrawud.

Khan's 13-year-old nephew was taken captive earlier this year by Naqibullah, a local commander not related to the Dehjawze official, when his family sent him to deliver bread for policemen. He was released only after angry tribal elders besieged the governor's office in Tarin Kot.

Governor Mohammad Nazir Kharoti told AFP he ordered Naqibullah's arrest but he was released in less than a month because he was needed for combat duty.

"It is difficult to implement the law 100 percent when we are faced with a war situation," Kharoti said, without elaborating on the case.

lol, just saw this.

So, what does this mean Britbongs? To me it looks a little fishy, but I am not as up to speed on Brexit as you all are.

Looks like it's a case of leaving politics in glory and no need to worry about answering questions should the shit hit the fan with our economy.
His whole career has generally been for us to leave the EU.
Instead of wanting to prove how better off we are alone, he's instead trying to leave in a blaze of glory.
Interesting really because IF we do indeed go down the shitter, it would probably only benefit UKIP even more in the next general election lapping up all the labour votes in the north and midlands.

>>55901
what shit

>There is no evidence either way about what the offender meant or whether . . . she holds or promotes an ideology which would explain why this assault was aimed at this victim
HA

America really needs to do something about its police problem.

They are all trigger happy rednecks. Do they even receive training or just get given a boom stick and uniform?

>>55027
Not all but there is a good bunch most cops ive interacted with are pretty cool they joke around with me

>>55002
When a cop tells you to take your hand out of your pocket, you slowly take your hand out of your pocket.

Guy's acting suspicious as fuck and is clearly paranoid, cop shoulda paddie wagoned him.

Granted, if he was black, I'm sure the cop woulda just shot him.

I don't mind taking pictures, just turn off the fucking flash. How are they supposed to play music when they're seeing spots? Luckily most musicians have muscle memory as a backup.

>Ms. Carlson grew up in Anoka, Minn., where the future Congresswoman Michele Bachmann was one of her childhood nannies. She attended Stanford University, studying organizational behavior, though she did spend a year abroad at Oxford University focusing on the work of Virginia Woolf, Ms. Smith said. Before her senior year, she became a contestant in the Miss America beauty pageant, which she won in 1988.

>A trained violinist, Ms. Carlson was proud of her achievement, saying her victory proved the pageant was as interested in a contestant’s intelligence as her looks.

>“It shows that I’m not a bimbo, that I do have intelligence and that I do represent what every woman wants to be in this society, which is a career woman, and be respected for her intelligence,” she said in January 1989.

>After graduating from Stanford, she worked for several local TV stations before becoming the host of the Saturday edition of CBS’s third-place morning show, “The Early Show,” in 2002.

>“She was very, very serious and competent and ambitious about doing journalism the way CBS News was known for,” Victor Neufeld, an executive producer of “The Early Show,” said on Wednesday.

>She joined Fox News’ morning show “Fox and Friends,” in 2006, co-hosting it for eight years.

>In 2009, Jon Stewart devoted a segment of “The Daily Show” to Ms. Carlson, showing clips of her saying she had to Google words like czar and ignoramus to learn their definitions. Mr. Stewart then detailed her stellar educational background, accused her of playing dumb for Fox’s audience and said, “You don’t have to stash your I.Q. in an offshore account.”

>Ms. Carlson is married to Casey Close, a sports agent known for his tough negotiating style, and a roster of clients that includes Derek Jeter. The couple have two children.

>She has been upfront in discussing matters of sexism in the workplace.

>In September 2013, shortly after she was removed from “Fox and Friends,” she appeared on the Fox News Radio show of her former co-host Brian Kilmeade and noted that she was dressed casually. The morning show, she said, had a strict rule: She could not wear pants on air.

>The year before, Ms. Carlson walked off the set of “Fox and Friends” in apparent protest when Mr. Kilmeade made a disparaging comment about women. (She later said she was joking.)

>And last year Ms. Carlson wrote about sexual harassment for The Huffington Post.

>“Most professional women I know have experienced sexual harassment,” she wrote. “So have I — a few times — and I never talked about it until now. If that seems surprising, it shouldn’t be. I’ve always considered myself a strong woman, not afraid to stand up for myself, but in the face of sexual harassment I was silent.

>“As the issue takes a prominent place in the headlines today, I sometimes feel guilty about my trepidation,” Ms. Carlson continued. “Perhaps I could have moved the conversation forward if I had come forth.”

What about that moon base tho?

Coulter hopes not:

Coulter thinks Trump should do a Lincoln (who picked Hannibal Hamlin as running mate, someone who was hard on the anti-slavery issue just like Lincoln) rather than a Reagan (who picked his rival Bush as a running mate instead of someone similar to himself).

stop posting this youttube shit. this isn't news.

blog posts are even worse and are forbidden in the sticky.

The point of /news/ is to not be opinionated. Go post your opinions on /pol/.

Based on the latest string of attacks, my bet is it's Daesh/ISIS (or a couple of their fanboys).

For those who don't know, Daesh has been suicide bombing the fuck out of Muslims this week, even in holy city #2 Medina. Suspicions are that this is desperation behavior as their loss of major territory very soon is now inevitable.
