Sefton: sefton at cutjibnewsletter.com | Ambush? At Least Four Philadelphia Police Officers Shot by One or More Gunmen Firing Many ShotsThere are only two options here: This is either a "white supremacist" ambush, in which case we must militarize the government to "crush" this threat; or it's an ambush of cops but not by white supremacists, in which case... meh. We'll just suck it up and never talk about this ever again.At least four Philadelphia police officers were shot in the city's Nicetown section Wednesday afternoon, officials said, prompting a massive response to the North Philadelphia neighborhood. At least one suspect is in custody. ... The officers crouched behind cars, blocked off surrounding streets and surrounded several nearby homes as the scene, described as an active shooting, unfolded. Officials said at least four officers were shot and taken to the hospital. They have not yet revealed their conditions. Police also said at least one suspect is in custody though officers continue to search for a second.The neighborhood is rated as an "F" in terms of crime and employment. Soon we'll find out if this is a white supremacist crime which must be taken as a grave omen we must heed with utmost seriousness, or a funemployment-noncrime that it's racist to even discuss.

Shooter on the first floor firing up into the second floor where a narcotics officer has two suspects detained. Another officer in a first floor bathroom with another suspect. Posted by: Old Blue at August 14, 2019 05:39 PM (VNmG1)" ..Wonder if that means through the floor. On a bit of a tangent, this is something that has been noted a number of times recently in Syria and Crimea when comparing 7.62x39 and 7.62x54R vs. 5.45 and 5.56. Units equipped with the lighter rounds have run into issues where opponents with the heavier rounds are spamming bullets through the floors and walls, and they have trouble returning fire because their higher-velocity, lighter rounds aren't carrying through the same materials very well. Doesn't mean 5.56 and 5.45 are no good, but you have to keep the limitations of what you're using in mind.

Oh and I'm not surprised by the Placido Domingo news. Something that annoys me about a lot of these big Operatic guys (other than how they always cheat with sheet music in concerts) is how often they sing flat. Its weird, someone that talented, famous, and experienced and so often they are just a little bit flat. But so big and important they probably would fire anyone who pointed it out and not listen even if they were forced to keep them on.

Been to Boston, never been to Philly, I wonder how they compare....
I'm from Philly, and lived in the city for many many years I also go to Boston a lot, and really really like it! I think the cities are similar, but Boston is much nicer overall. The size and scale of our ghettoes are impressive. Center City itself is pretty nice, but there are some very adjacent iffy areas still (like, north of Chinatown). Boston is more hilly. Philly is a nice simple grid (and flat). We both have rivers in the city/thru the city. Boston more walkable but both are walkable. We have better food Posted by: BlackOrchid at August 14, 2019 05:47 PM (Rarvo) 153

On a bit of a tangent, this is something that has been noted a number of times recently in Syria and Crimea when comparing 7.62x39 and 7.62x54R vs. 5.45 and 5.56.
Units equipped with the lighter rounds have run into issues where opponents with the heavier rounds are spamming bullets through the floors and walls, and they have trouble returning fire because their higher-velocity, lighter rounds aren't carrying through the same materials very well. Doesn't mean 5.56 and 5.45 are no good, but you have to keep the limitations of what you're using in mind.

Those neighborhood ratings things are flawed in some kind of serious way. I grew up in a rural area. Crime was low, across the board. Very low. The town about 10 miles up the road is sedately peaceful, and most of its inhabitants are the "well-to-do" of our area. It got a C-. By that rubric, you would have to have no crime, full employment, and a huge tax base to be considered an "A." Like a utopia. Posted by: Yudhishthira's Dice at August 14, 2019 05:51 PM (AzW6q) 207

I grew up in a rural area. Crime was low, across the board. Very low. The town about 10 miles up the road is sedately peaceful, and most of its inhabitants are the "well-to-do" of our area. It got a C-. By that rubric, you would have to have no crime, full employment, and a huge tax base to be considered an "A." Like a utopia.

This is Dem rhetoric in action.
Whose votes are they courting? Criminals. They get the criminal vote by a large majority. They want the vote restored to more felons to "preserve our democracy". They hate cops (don't correct me, it's rhetoric). They rail against "racist police". The worst thing to be is a racist. So, when Democrats call cops "racist", they are calling them the worst thing possible--even worse than "rat-infested". We know that registered Democrats will try to gun down Congressmen for simply being the party that is not as enthusiastic about government healthcare. Thus, worse than that are racists. Thus, in calling cops racist, the Dems are asking Dems to exterminate cops, for their courted demographic of people who've done proven, grievous harm to other people.

125 Oh and I'm not surprised by the Placido Domingo news. Something that annoys me about a lot of these big Operatic guys (other than how they always cheat with sheet music in concerts) is how often they sing flat. Its weird, someone that talented, famous, and experienced and so often they are just a little bit flat. But so big and important they probably would fire anyone who pointed it out and not listen even if they were forced to keep them on.
Posted by: Christopher R Taylor at August 14, 2019 05:44 PM (KZzsI) Domingo sang flat? Women threw themselves at Domingo for decades. (Well, maybe not when he was fat, singing zarzuela in Mexico.)

More than the usual 55 grain. Less velocity, more "oof!" Posted by: Ace-Endorsed Author A.H. Lloyd at August 14, 2019 05:53 PM (cfSRQ)" ..Standard issue since the 249 and M16A2 rolled in (i.e, when dinosaurs roamed the earth) has been various iterations of 62 grain projectiles. First the green-tip rounds with steel penetrators intended to defeat warsaw pact steel helmets at range, then the much newer brown/bronzeish tipped stuff which is much, much better. I don't pay much attention to the new stuff because it's mostly unobtanium for the civ market. The older green tip stuff you can buy all over the place may pen better on a few things (most notably hard Dyneema plates), but it's often less accurate than normal FMJ, costs more, and fails to pen cheap steel plates that 55gr FMJ will defeat. The original 7.92x33, the 7.62x39, and other similar rounds (7.62x35, aka .300 blackout) do have some redeeming qualities in terms of dealing with windshields, auto bodies, and common building materials. You sacrifice effective range to get it though. Posted by: lurker (the other one... spelled with a P) at August 14, 2019 06:01 PM (eAshZ) 349

__________________ Yeah, because black folks are always getting shot, stabbed, beaten, etc., by whites at rural gas stations. Why don't these f*cking dimwits familiarize themselves with some U.S. crime statistics before they make idiotic statements like this. The vast majority of violent inter-racial crime in the U.S. is committed by blacks against whites. It's whites who have to worry about being violently attacked by blacks for no reason, not the other way around. Just ask Channon Christian and Chis Newsom. Oh wait, you can't, because they were kidnapped, raped, tortured, and murdered by blacks. For sport. Posted by: TrivialPursuer at August 14, 2019 06:04 PM (k4dH2) 382

Not really. its more or less a "sleep" button. Many modern televisions still monitor things going on in the room with their built-in cameras, microphones and internet access. If your remote control or voice control works, its still On.

I'm not sure I ever met a white supremacist ... but I got a haircut in David Duke's old district once. White barber told me he was in a black area ... forget details, but stopped in a crowd or some such, he said he was getting his gun out while driving, a black guy reached in the car and grabbed his arm ... black guy told him ... if you're going to carry a gun, keep it in your lap where it is ready. Barber told me "that (black?) man taught me something".
question mark because I forget if he said black, but he was black. I really think a lot of what is called racism is more realism ... and there is plenty of cooperation, and many blacks also would like to escape the bad elements. but that is a long discussion.

If target has a rifle, that'll go through all soft body armor and most ballistic shield (lots of LEOs have a rifle plate for their vest nowadays, but they're heavy and make you slow).
There are rifle-proof ballistic shields, but they are HEAVY, and take two or three officers to move, and they can't shoot while doing it. Forget about going up any steps while you're at it. If nobody's bleeding out (presuming their still in radio/phone contact with the guys inside) and they're barricaded in a safe spot, slow is the way to go. If they're bleeding, then, yeah, time to smash in the wall with an SUV or MRAP and away we go. Posted by: Xenophon at August 14, 2019 11:47 PM (22X8V) 632
