Breaking News: Liberal Chicago Leaders Conclude MORE Police Will Stop the Riots & Looting – Wow, Just...WOW

[header] AUGUST 15, 2020 [leading] Dow Jones Industrial Average rises 34 points. The Dow rose 34.30 points, or 0.1%, to 27,931.02. The S&P 500 was flat at 3,372.85. The Nasdaq Composite fell 0.2% to close at 11,019.30. Stocks waffled around the flatline for most of the session as the S&P 500 failed once again to reach its all-time high. Mixed retail sales data and stimulus latest. Retail sales for July rose 1.2%, the Commerce Department said. That’s below a Dow Jones estimate of 2.3%. Excluding autos, however, retail sales rose 1.9% to top a forecast of 1.2%. In Washington, lawmakers seem unable to move forward with a coronavirus stimulus bill. This could drag on for weeks as the Senate is in recess until after Labor Day and Hose members have already left for the rest of the month. Cruise operators rise. Carnival and Norwegian Cruise Line advanced more than 1% each. What happens next? The Empire State Manufacturing index is set for release on Monday.

What a thought. At a press conference Thursday, Chicago Police Superintendent David Brown announced the Windy City will be adding 1,000 more cop shifts from Friday through Sunday. As noted by The Daily Wire, the beefing is similar to a recent 1,200-officer increase in a southwest neighborhood where gang violence has been on the rise. The thousand-strong upgrade, of course, follows yet more social unrest — including last week’s stunning looting in the Magnificent Mile, Rush Street, Oak Street, and Loop shopping areas. On Friday, Mayor Lori Lightfoot confirmed the law enforcement lift, indicating the Department of Streets & Sanitation will be chipping in to stop mass theft. Furthermore, she said, police will employ “new and enhanced tactics” in the shutting down of opportunistic “caravans.” “Vans” is an appropriate term to throw in — from Fox News four days ago, reporting on the weekend: The Chicago Tribune reported that it observed people carrying shopping bags full of merchandise in the areas where the looting was happening, and at least one U-Haul van was seen pulling up.

Trump blasted the Democratic ticket of Joe Biden and Sen. Kamala Harris (D-CA), asserting, “Their pro-crime agenda, the Biden-Harris group, will also crush our economy because there is no prosperity in cities that are ruled by fear.” Trump started by saying, “They’re not treating you right, but we’re gonna treat you right … You’re the finest – they just don’t let you do the job. They won’t let you do your job.” “As we gather today, our country is suffering from a radical far-Left movement … that is trying to defame, demoralize, defund, dismantle, and dissolve our great police departments,” he continued. “It’s a left-wing war on cops. If Sleepy Joe Biden were to become president, he would immediately pass legislation to gut every single police department in America. You know that…” “My agenda is anti-crime and pro-cop all the way and that’s what it’s gotta be,” Trump stated. “So, in recent months, New York City has witnessed the horrors that result from putting extreme-Left politicians into power. De Blasio has launched … a real crusade against the police … the mobs have scrawled disgusting slogans such as ‘cops must die’ and ‘kill all cops.’ Who would even have thought ten years ago that was possible? … And now all of sudden it becomes mainstream …” Trump cited instances in which mobs assaulted cops, then continued, “You fight back, you lose your pension; you lose your life; they put you in jail. … One of the saddest things that I’ve ever seen is when they were dumping water on the heads of two of your fellow officers, and I wish they’d fought back. I promise nothing would’ve happened to them … it could have been some very dangerous material, not water. They didn’t fight back; the first time I’ve ever seen that. I wish they did; I wish they did. I wish I could have talked to them, I said (sic), ‘Fight back. I swear you’ll be protected.’” “This is the Left’s vision for the future of the United States of America,” he opined. “If they win this election, every city in America will be under siege, you know that, because the police are good in Seattle, and they’re good in all of these different places … they’re not being let (sic) do their job.” [More Here]( [Awesome](mailto:contact@salliratrader.com?subject=Awesome&body=Send%20me more 🙂) [Not so good](mailto:contact@salliratrader.com?subject=Not so good&body=You can do better 🙂) [crazy] The age of nanorobots and drones is fast approaching. The U.S. Air Force begins to use a microrobot that records and transmits video and audio reconnaissance and help in security mission. The 96th Security Forces Squadron, according to the press release, is already equipped with a football-sized device, called the Throwbot, to assist base security. The Throwbot, a throwable microrobot, that records and transmits video and audio reconnaissance, indoors or outdoors, to an operator’s control unit is now in the 96th Security Forces Squadron’s inventory. The new device gives a response team a safe way to assess a situation, make informed decisions and perform tasks that can lead to saving lives and property. “It took five minutes for me to learn how to use it,” said Leon Gray, 96th SFS, after seeing it demonstrated at trade shows. “It quickly became apparent how our security personnel could utilize this tool in our operations.” A Throwbot acquisition plan was presented at an iSpark meeting July 1. Only nine days later, Throwbot was approved and purchased on the same day. Gray said the squadron would look for ways to incorporate Throwbot into security training exercises, for evaluation and use in potential life-and-death situations. The robot can withstand landings of up to 30 feet and can crawl over a variety of terrain. When accessorized, it can carry and tow a combined four pounds of equipment. A camera on its front allows an operator to see what it sees. The control unit contains a joystick to guide the device, a video monitor and antennas. Video can be fed to an external monitor. In an active shooter situation, the Throwbot’s camera allows an operator to see around corners while clearing a building under threat, locate and identify subjects, confirm presence of hostages and show a room layout.
