[NYP] The White Sox and Guardians turned a baseball game into a boxing match and then a bench-clearing brawl.
Chicago shortstop Tim Anderson and Cleveland third baseman Jose Ramírez exchanged punches at second base Saturday night during the White Sox’s 7-4 win at Progressive Field, triggering a bench-clearing melee in the sixth inning that led to six ejections.
Anderson and Ramirez are likely facing suspensions.
With the Guardians trailing 5-0 in the bottom of the sixth inning, the altercation began when Ramírez slid headfirst into second after lacing an RBI double into right field off Bryan Shaw and Anderson stood over him, straddling Ramírez.
When Ramírez got up, he pointed his finger at Anderson and yelled, prompting them to square off.

I've often said my non-firearm choice in a street fight would be a hockey stick.

I was watching the game but left to do chores. My folks texted me about the fight. It was bleed over from something that Anderson did the previous night. He was scratched from the line-up today, an act of good sense.

[BLAZE] A Massachusetts police officer was arrested and placed on paid administrative leave by his department after an alleged assault on his 72-year-old neighbor over a paddleboard fight.
Sgt. Scott Saunders of the Hull Police Department was arrested on July 24 in Pembroke, Massachusetts. Saunders was charged with assault and battery on a person over 60. Saunders was placed on paid administrative leave by the Hull Police Department.
Harry Horsley, Saunders' neighbor of 36 years, claimed the off-duty police officer struck his car with a paddleboard. That's when the brouhaha allegedly started after a neighbor.
Horsley told Boston 25, "'Why did you hit my car?' That’s all I said. He bull-rushed me down to the ground, landed on top of me, I’m on my back. He pounded away. I’m like this trying to protect myself from getting hit worse."

Some people just get more assholish with age...
The sergeant told the arriving police officers that his neighbour had been deliberately irritating for sometime, and offered them his security tape. So there may be more here than just ‘roid rage beating up a helpless oldster.

The more the blue cities defund/downgrade the cops, the fewer stellar qualities they'll exhibit. I think that is consistent with some opinions-of the overall plan for a national police force.

"The sergeant told the arriving police officers..."
[BJS] The DOJ and the Bureau of Justice Statistics have been a more than just a little slow in getting data and statistics published during the CCP-planned-demic.
But they are slowly coming around, having no excuse now to stall.
Looking thru the Bureau of Justice Statistics Website, I also noted they are "updating" (massaging) a number of crime reporting formats, and how the collected data will be presented in many 2023 Data reports.
BTW: Check out the report on "Federal Deaths in Custody and During Arrest" on this site.

What I found interesting was it is White US citizen Males that account for a majority of the arrests.
Not the main stream media's storyline of foreign nations.

[FoxNews] The 7 Massachusetts State Troopers will be reinstated and receive back pay.
Seven Massachusetts State Troopers, who were previously suspended due to a COVID-19 vaccine mandate, have prevailed in a legal battle with the Massachusetts' government and will be reinstated to their jobs, according to the State Police union in Massachusetts.
The news release from The State Police Association of Massachusetts, an independent arbitrator found that the state police violated the troopers' rights to anti-discrimination and affirmative action.
The association said that now-former Massachusetts' Governor Charlie Baker and Department of the State Police did not give troopers "reasonable accommodations to their sincerely held religious beliefs."
The news follows a long fought legal battle with the Massachusetts' government after Baker signed an executive order requiring all executive branch employees to provide proof of vaccination by October 2021 or face disciplinary action, including possible termination.
Eleven Massachusetts State Troopers and one sergeant were fired in April 2022 over their refusal to get vaccinated.
Following the arbitrator's ruling on Friday, seven state troopers will be reinstated and awarded their full seniority rights and all benefits minus any interim earnings and/or unemployment compensation, according to the union news release.

From what I have read, the US has had troops there (well, where DON'T they have troops?). Yes, get 'em out. Just what is it with places with heavy French involvement? In any case, not our problem. Let Macron deal with it. Long uranium?

[BBC] One of the most popular satirical websites in the Arab world has hit back after being banned in Jordan by poking fun at the country's new planned censorship laws.
AlHudood, meaning "the limits" or "the borders", publishes articles and social media posts highlighting the absurdities of Middle Eastern politics and everyday life in a deadpan style. It is in effect the region's answer to the US parody website The Onion or the UK's Private Eye. BEE - Backup Dancers Say They Are Tired Of Living In Lizzo's Shadow
Its mocking commentary of the lavish wedding of Jordan's crown prince apparently led to AlHudood being blocked by the authorities last month - just ahead of tighter restrictions on the media being introduced.
Legislation currently going through parliament has been denounced by journalists and human rights groups, who say it will further restrict freedom of expression.
In its response, AlHudood - which was started in Jordan a decade ago - has offered a sardonic guide to publishing content in the country "without being fined, imprisoned, crucified".
Another mock article in a series of reports focuses on a "terrorist" who just started to pose a question on Facebook and was arrested for an "electronic crime".
"I think this will probably create a bigger clash [with officials in Amman] than before, but we feel we have no choice because if we don't do this, the longer-term effect for us and everyone else is going to be so much worse," an AlHudood source tells me from London.
In a region of autocratic leaders where state-run media dominates, AlHudood has thrived against the odds over the past decade and is seen as a breath of fresh air by many of its young followers. It says it reaches a million readers on its website and some 30 million a year on social media, which has become the main forum for voicing criticism of Arab authorities.
A multi-volume chronology and reference guide set detailing three years of the Mexican Drug War between 2010 and 2012.
Rantburg.com and borderlandbeat.com correspondent and author Chris Covert presents his first non-fiction work detailing
the drug and gang related violence in Mexico.
Chris gives us Mexican press dispatches of drug and gang war violence
over three years, presented in a multi volume set intended to chronicle the death, violence and mayhem which has
dominated Mexico for six years.
Rantburg was assembled from recycled algorithms in the United States of America. No
trees were destroyed in the production of this weblog. We did hurt some, though. Sorry.
Never see much of that here, and they're actually armed with 'delivery sticks.'
