Nobody cares. Starve and die already
If he gets too skinny, he can just slip through the bars.
The convicted cop killer who famously escaped from an upstate prison in 2015 hates his new digs at Attica so much so that he’s gone on a hunger strike, sources told The Post.
David Sweat, 37, was transferred to the infamous facility on Nov. 17 from another maximum security lockup in the Finger Lakes region ‐ then stopped eating six days later, according to a petition prison officials planned to file Friday.
Attica officials are worried the already-slim inmate could die if his hunger strike continues and are seeking a judicial order allowing him to be fed through a tube.
"Mr. Sweat has refused all solid food," the petition says.
"Mr. Sweat is drinking fluids, but he is not drinking a sufficient amount of fluids to maintain his overall health." Give him an emetic
The defiant cop killer has said he’s "not happy" at Attica, and wants to be transferred back to the prison he came from, Five Points Correctional Facility in Romulus, according to the documents
Sweat is serving a life term for murdering a Broome County sheriff's deputy in 2002.

[Miami Herald] This suspected carjacker picked the wrong brothers to mess with, police say.
Brothers Juan and Justo Sop were getting home from work at 11 p.m. Sunday in Oklahoma City when an attempted carjacker tried to take their vehicle, the brothers told KFOR.
But these brothers weren’t about to let the attempted carjacker make off with their vehicle, police said. Instead, the two brothers started to fight back ‐ and when a third brother, Antonio, heard the commotion outside the house, he ran out to join the melee as well, police said.
"We got him down on the ground, but he took out a knife," Antonio Sop told KFOR. "Then we grabbed the knife, took it away from him."
[NavyTimes] Marquie Little, a sailor stationed with the carrier George H.W. Bush, posted this and other photos to Facebook last month, alleging someone had vandalized his rack with racial slurs. The Navy said Friday that he fabricated the incident, a charge Little denies.

"Heather has two mammies"
Their families give double the whammies:
Quartets of collegial mammies,
A crone with a scalpel

Mohammedan men in their jammies.
[FOX] A father eating at a Popeye’s restaurant -- and carrying his licensed handgun -- shot a would-be robber dead Wednesday after the thief threatened the man's family at gunpoint and demanded the dad's belongings.
The San Antonio Police Department said Ander Herrera, 19, walked into the restaurant on South Flores Street just after 9 p.m. Wednesday and demanded Carlos Molina hand over his cash.
Molina, 32, said he had no money because he had just bought his family a meal. The gunman then turned toward the counter and started yelling at a manager who was trying to take cover, FOX29 reported.
Authorities said two more members of Molina’s family came out of a restroom amid the commotion and the suspect pointed his gun at them. Nicely executed. Eye contact shifts, time to empty your mag.
Molina then whipped out his gun and shot Herrera several times, killing him.
It wasn't clear if any charges would be filed in connection with the incident, but officers said they believe Molina fired at Herrera in defense of a third person, FOX29 reported.

Probably just curious. Ratio of population there is like white, Hispanic, native, Asian before you see anything next (unless you check the week's mug shot line up on the local news' website, then the ratio alters).

The sheriff of said department refuses to have his people wear body cams, as mentioned at the end of the article. For years now, there have been many complaints of inappropriate policing by county & city officials. DOJ just finished an investigation of the Albuquerque PD with following findings:
APD Engages in a Pattern or Practice of Unconstitutional Use of Deadly Force.
Albuquerque police officers shot and killed civilians who did not pose an imminent threat of serious bodily harm or death to the officers or others.
Albuquerque police officers used deadly force on individuals in crisis who posed no threat to anyone but themselves.
Albuquerque police officers' own recklessness sometimes led to their use of deadly force.
APD Engages in a Pattern or Practice of Unconstitutional Use of Less Lethal Force.
Albuquerque police officers used force against individuals who were passively resisting and posed a minimal threat.
Albuquerque police officers used excessive force against individuals with mental illness, against individuals with impaired faculties, and against individuals who require medical treatment.
Systemic Deficiencies Cause or Contribute to the Use of Excessive Force.
The Department's Inadequate Internal Accountability Measures Contribute to the Pattern or Practice of Excessive Force.
Supervisory reviews do not address excessive uses of force.
Force incidents are not properly documented.
Shooting investigations are inadequate.
Internal review mechanisms are not implemented.
The Department's Training Deficiencies Contribute to the Pattern or Practice of Unreasonable Use of Force.
The Department's Deficient Policies Contribute to the Pattern or Practice of Unreasonable Use of Force.
Under-Use of the Crisis Intervention Team Contributes to the Pattern or Practice of Unconstitutional Force.
The Department's Ineffective Use oflts Tactical Deployments Contributes to the Use of Excessive Force.
The Department's Aggressive Organizational Culture Contributes to Excessive Force Incidents.
The Department's Limited External Oversight Contributes to the Pattern or Practice of Unconstitutional Uses of Force.
Inadequate Community Policing Contributes to the Department's Pattern or Practice of Unconstitutional Force.

Said sheriff's office is the one for Bernalillo county, which includes the city of ABQ. From a 9 Aug 2017 KRQE article:
ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. (AP) — New Mexico commissioners have decided to keep a policy declaring Bernalillo County an immigrant-friendly community despite threats from U.S. Justice Department to defund so-called sanctuary cities.
Bernalillo is New Mexico's most populous county and includes the city of Albuquerque. The county's Board of Commissioners passed the immigrant-friendly resolution in March as a symbolic gesture, and to prevent county dollars and personnel from being used to investigate anyone's immigration status or arrest individuals based on their immigration status, unless required to do so by law.
Not only "immigrant friendly" but "federal immigration enforcement UNfriendly", seems like.
Poor New Mexico, so far from heaven and so close to Texas.

...btw, those Obama DoJ finding don't include the significant rise in robberies, burglaries and assaults that have resulted in following Ohama's DoJ's guidelines. (See - Baltimore)
[All Africa] A man, convicted of being an accessory to war crimes for selling weapons to former Liberian president Charles Chuck Taylor The former President-for-Life of Liberia, of whom the best that could be said was that he wasn't quite as horrible as Prince Johnson, at least not usually. , was issued with a temporary visa to stay in South Africa until 2020.
This emerged in the Cape Town Magistrate's Court on Friday during the appearance of 75-year-old Augustinus Petrus Kouwenhoven.
Kouwenhoven was jugged Don't shoot, coppers! I'm comin' out! in Fresnaye at 08:00, ahead of his possible extradition and handover to Dutch authorities.
He was surrounded by coppers as he walked to the courtroom and waited for his appearance.
Prosecutor Christopher Burke told Magistrate Phakama Madinda that a Dutch court had found Kouwenhoven guilty of war crimes, arms trading and crimes against humanity.
The Dutch government made a request for his provisional arrest, and warrants were obtained and executed in Cape Town on Friday morning.
The prosecution indicated that it would oppose bail and said it needed time to prepare for a bail hearing.
A runaway from justice
"The State has reason to believe that Mr Kouwenhoven is a runaway from justice which makes him a flight risk," Burke said.
The law usually allows a seven-day remand for bail to be obtained.
Burke proposed a compromise that involved keeping the accused in the Sea Point police cells until Tuesday so that the State could gather the information they needed.

[All Africa] At least 14 United Nations ...an organization originally established to war on dictatorships which was promptly infiltrated by dictatorships and is now held in thrall to dictatorships... 'blue helmets' in the Democratic Republic of the Congo ...formerly the Congo Free State, Belgian Congo, Zaire, and who knows what else, not to be confused with the Brazzaville Congo aka Republic of Congo, which is much smaller and much more (for Africa) stable. DRC gave the world Patrice Lumumba and Joseph Mobutu, followed by years of tedious civil war. Its principle industry seems to be the production of corpses. With a population of about 74 million it has lots of raw material... (DRC) have been killed and many more injured, in what the Secretary-General António Guterres described as the "worst attack" on UN peacekeepers in recent history.
Late Thursday, a MONUSCO (the UN Stabilization Mission in the DRC) Company Operating Base at Semuliki in Beni territory, North Kivu, was attacked by suspected Allied Democratic Forces (ADF) elements, resulting in a protracted fighting between the suspected gang elements and MONUSCO and Armed Forces of the DRC, known by the French acronym, FARDC.
"These deliberate attacks against UN peacekeepers are unacceptable and constitute a war crime" said Secretary-General António Guterres, adding: "I condemn this attack unequivocally."
Further, calling on the DRC authorities to investigate the incident and swiftly bring the perpetrators to justice, the UN chief stressed: "There must be no impunity for such assaults, here or anywhere else."
In his remarks, he also said that the attack is another indication of the challenges faced by UN peacekeepers around the world and acknowledged the sacrifices made by troop contributing countries in the service of global peace.
"These brave women and men are putting their lives on the line every day across the world to serve peace and to protect civilians," he noted, offering condolences to the families and loved ones of those killed and a speedy recovery to those injured.
He also informed that military reinforcements, including the Force Commander from MONUSCO, have arrived on the scene and medical evacuation of casualties is ongoing.
The volatile North Kivu region, located in eastern DRC, has witnessed a number of attacks on UN peacekeeping forces. In October, two UN 'blue helmets' were killed and another 18 were maimed their base was attacked by the ADF gang.

[DAWN] A judicial magistrate in Bloody Karachi ...formerly the capital of Pakistain, now merely its most important port and financial center. It is among the largest cities in the world, with a population of 18 million, most of whom hate each other and many of whom are armed and dangerous... on Friday sent four suspects involved in the Do Darya murder case to jail on judicial remand.
Zafir, an 18-year-old student at DHA college, was killed and another youth was injured in a gun attack on December 4.
The two youths travelling in a Mercedes were on their way to have breakfast at the beach when they had a minor accident. After the accident, suspects travelling in a double-cabin vehicle had opened indiscriminate fire on the car at around 9am.
As a result, the two passengers had sustained bullet wounds and were transported to a private hospital where doctors pronounced Zafir dead.
During Friday's hearing, the police presented the four suspects ─ Haider Hussain Burney, Hassan Hussain Burney, Raza Hussain Burney and Abdul Rehman ─ before the court.
As they were sent to jail on judicial remand, the court also ordered the police to arrest the suspect who had fled from the site of the incident after the shooting and present him before the court.
A day earlier, the police had told the court that raids are ongoing to round up the last suspect. The court had granted the police two-day physical remand of Khawar Hussain Burney, the prime suspect.

[DAWN] Former Muttahida Qaumi Movement leader Hammad Siddiqui, who was tossed in the calaboose Book 'im, Mahmoud! in Dubai around two months ago, was handed over to Pakistain by UAE authorities, a private news channel claimed on Friday.
Quoting unnamed sources, Geo News said that the "deportation" of Mr Siddiqui, a key suspect in the 2012 Baldia factory fire in which over 250 labourers were killed, was conducted not through standard operating procedures, but by mutual intelligence coordination between Pakistain and the UAE.
It said that Interpol handed over Mr Siddiqui to a "Pak intelligence agency last night" and he was moved to Islamabad. However, death is not the end. There remains the litigation over the estate... Pak diplomatic officials in the UAE maintained silence on the development, it added.

You can do some interesting things to thought processes, using minimal stimuli such as currents from flashlight batteries applied through the scalp, or small magnets. Hypnotists have long used their own breathing patterns, gestures, vocal tones to alter behavior of their subjects. Flashing lights, abrupt changes in subject matter, etc. also provoke confusion in many people, confusion which leads to heightened suggestibility. We are no where near as free and independent in our thinking as we would like to believe.
[NPR] "The Defense Department is starting the first agency-wide financial audit in its history," the Pentagon's news service says, announcing that it's undertaking an immense task that has been sought, promised and delayed for years.
Of the tally that is starting this week, chief Pentagon spokesperson Dana W. White said, "It demonstrates our commitment to fiscal responsibility and maximizing the value of every taxpayer dollar that is entrusted to us."
"Beginning in 2018, our audits will occur annually, with reports issued Nov. 15," the Defense Department's comptroller, David L. Norquist, said.
The Defense Department has famously never been audited, despite receiving hundreds of billions of dollars annually and having more than $2.2 trillion in assets.
For the Pentagon to get to this point, it has been, as they say, a process. The U.S. government established requirements for each agency to present financial statements back in the 1990s. But for more than 20 years, the Department of Defense has lagged other agencies that were following modern accounting standards, reporting what they received and spent.
