Racist Menu?

Go take a look at this! Scroll down to the
Yippi Kay-yah! Menu, serving a variety of American Indian race stereotypes.

I consider this to be racist. Do you also?
If so- leave a message.

Minor traffic stop led to 'murder' of Patrick Lyoya, NAACP says

Source: MLIvE.com

GRAND RAPIDS, MI -- NAACP leaders are questioning how what appeared to be a minor traffic infraction escalated into something one leader called “straight up murder.”

They want the officer who shot 26-year-old Patrick Lyoya in Southeast Grand Rapids on April 4 charged criminally, fired immediately and decertified as an officer.

NAACP leaders talked Wednesday, April 13 about the release of police and cell phone videos that showed Lyoya’s vehicle being stopped in the area of Nelson Avenue SE and Griggs Street for a license plate that did not match his vehicle. The traffic stop was followed by the officer’s attempt to take Lyoya into custody, with a fight erupting between the two.

(Snip)

“It was unnecessary. It was lethal force and, in our opinion, it was just straight up murder,” Mayers said.

Horrible incident in Grand Rapids, Michigan. The officer attempted to take down the driver, a struggle ensued, and the white officer shot the black driver in the back of head. Warning: gruesome video.

Family wants world to see footage of Grand Rapids fatal police shooting

A Black man n Grand Rapids was shot by police after a traffic stop. The man’s father says the video shows he was executed from behind, at point blank range, while laying face down on the ground.

Peter Lyoya and Siku say Michigan State Police showed them cruiser dashcam video this week. They claim the officer shot Patrick Lyoya in the back of the head while he laid face down on the ground.

“I could not watch that video twice. I cried,” Siku said.

During the march, Siku asked two men to demonstrate what they saw on the video. Marchers gathered in silence around the men on the ground as Siku asked people to remember the moment.

Grand Rapids Police Chief Eric Winstrom committed to releasing the video by noon on Friday, April 15.

“I don’t want the video to be edited,” Peter Lyoya said. “I want people to see the way my son was killed. I want the entire world to see how my son was executed.”

Following the march, a candlelight vigil was held for Patrick Lyoya at the Center for Community Transformation.

(Grand Rapids Michigan has had a series of police shootings that are questionable over the recent past.)



If the video us what the father says- it’s a video of his some being shot in the back if the head, face down in the street. This is going to be huge news when the video comes out.

Arrests in Russia



February 28, 2022

Open Source data

Here is a good page that details the normal staffing and equipment of the typical Russian Motor Regiment armor company, so you can see the breakdown of people and equipment:

Standing up to a tank

Did you see this? I just did.

Citizens in Ukraine standing up to Russians with their bare hands.

Ukraine /Russia

So I’m watching some of the video that is being shown of all the military vehicles, and trying to catch city names.

So far, all the convoys I have seen have only been small unit size- a platoon of tanks or vehicles, a company of artillery at most. I measured one location on the map as 2.6 miles to the Ukraine border, but still inside Russia.

What, if any open source Intel are any other veterans seeing. I’m seeing weapons systems rolling, but I’ve not see much actual ammo boxes being stored on trucks, or other indications of imminent combat readiness in any of the photos. Are you?

February 22, 2022

My biggest fear at this moment

Is that we are sending huge numbers of sensitive weapons into Ukraine.

Anti tank missiles, I would presume anti-aircraft manpads, and a while range of advance ground and air weapons, and , even if there isn’t a long war- lots of those weapons go missing.

That would be very, very bad too.
