[POLICETRIBUNE] The career criminal accused of murdering Houston Police Sergeant Sean Rios while out on bond for a weapon-related offense last year has again been released on bond.
Robert Soliz, a 24-year-old gang member, was the subject of a massive manhunt in the wake of the Nov. 9, 2020 shooting death of the 47-year-old police sergeant, KSAT reported.
Soliz was arrested on a murder warrant during a traffic stop on Interstate 10 in west Houston at approximately 3:15 p.m. the following day, and was taken into custody using Sgt. Rios’ handcuffs, KTRK reported.
Houston Police Chief Art Acevedo said the suspect was uncooperative with detectives when they tried to speak with him about the sergeant’s murder, according to KHOU.
Soliz recently managed to post $750,000 bond — $500,000 of which was attached to the murder charge, KTRK reported.
He had to come up with $75,000 in order to walk out of jail, according to KPRC.
The court mandated he remain at home at all times while the case is pending, that he wear a GPS monitor, and that he submit to random drug testing, KPRC reported.
Soliz is due to appear in court on March 23.
His attorney, Paul Looney, told KPRC he was unaware his client had been released from jail.
Houston Police Officers’ Union President Douglas Griffith blasted the accused cop-killer’s release on Twitter on Tuesday.
"I’m am sick and disgusted that this piece of trash was released on any bond after claiming indigent when he was arrested for Killing Sergeant Rios, to get a public defender," Griffith wrote. "$750,000 in bonds equals 75Thousand to get out. #indigemtmy-ss"

So who paid his bail - Kamala, Xiden, or Pelosi?
What the gang seeks to prove is that they can support their members. The gang is not just opposed by law enforcement but by other gangs. Many gangs have a sort of 'code of honor' which forbids violence against other gangs during declared 'cease fire' episodes but other gangs don't.

[PUNCHNG] Boko Haram ... not to be confused with Procol Harum, Harum Scarum, possibly to be confused with Helter Skelter. The Nigerian version of al-Qaeda and the Taliban rolled together and flavored with a smigeon of distinctly Subsaharan ignorance and brutality... turbans on Tuesday attacked a community and burnt down a school, healthcare centre and a military base before hoisting their flag at the military base in Katarko, Gujba Local Government Area of Yobe State.
According to sources, the gunnies stormed the town in the early hours while the villagers were going for morning prayers at the mosque and started shooting indiscriminately; though no life was lost, the turbans burnt the military base at the entrance to the town.
A resident of the community, simply identified as Fannami, stated, "The turbans drove in gun trucks and headed straight for the military base and opened fire on the soldiers. The soldiers fled and the turbans drove into the town. That was around 5am, when we were going for Alfijir prayers in the mosque.
"When we heard their chanting of Allahu Akbar and rapid gunshots, we became confused and abandoned the prayers. Some ran into the bush for safety, while many others locked themselves in their rooms. We only came back to our homes when we were certain that they had left. They operated for over one hour without any challenge or resistance from either the military or the locals."

Really, not far from the Yemeni/Saudi border, Southwest corner of Saudi Arabia. Map (test link DDG maps - DuckDuckGo)
Airport looks like a large facility for the adjacent area, with sufficient highways to service it. Looks to be civilian aviation, but given the ongoing conflict with the Houthis,it may have been converted to joint military/civilian use in the last few years.
To the east of this location is a Saudi AF Base, the province is a predominantly Houthi ethnic area, so perhaps view this entire affair as "mini civil war" aimed at "liberating the province" and combining it with the Houthis in the western provinces of Yemen to establish a South Sudan state or Eritrea.
[Dhaka Tribune] Two investigating officers have testified before a court in Narayanganj in two cases filed against Nur Hossain, who was previously sentenced to death in the Narayanganj seven-murder case.
Narayanganj Additional District and Sessions Judge Sabina Yasmin on Thursday recorded the deposition of Siddhirganj cop shoppe sub-inspectors Sakhawat Hossain and Nazrul Islam in the drug and arms cases respectively.
Prime accused Nur Hossain along with other accused, namely, Ali Mohammad, Jamal, Nur Hossain's brother Nur Uddin, and his nephew Councillor Shahjalal Badal were present on the dock.
Both the cases were filed with the cop shoppe in 2014.
Additional Public Prosecutor Jasmin Ahmed said the court had set May 27 for the next round of proceedings in the cases.
On the same day, Nur Hossain was produced before the Narayanganj District and Sessions Judge's Court in another case filed by the Anti-Corruption Commission (ACC).
Judge Mohammad Anisur Rahman also set May 27 for the next hearing.
Inspector Md Asaduzzaman of the court said Nur Hossain was brought to the Narayanganj court from Gazipur's Kashimpur jail amid tight security.
Later, he was sent back to jail, Asaduzzaman added.
Earlier in January this year, Narayanganj Additional District and Sessions Judge Sabina Yasmin sentenced Nur Hossain to life imprisonment in another arms case.
On August 1, 2014, police recovered his pistol from beside the railway line in Dhaka's Malibagh Bazar area. The next day, police filed a case under the Arms Act with the Railway cop shoppe.

God bless the Officers and their Families. Four additional Officers were killed in a subsequent firefight. Total is 17 dead now. This is open warfare...not criminal activity.
[Rudaw] ERBIL, Kurdistan Region — Security forces in Sulaimani fired live ammunition to disperse school students protesting in front of the education directorate’s headquarters on Thursday morning, witnesses have told Rudaw.
Grade 12 students gathered in front of the directorate’s building for the fourth day in a row, a protesting student told Rudaw’s Horvan Rafaat. Protesters are calling for various reforms, including their pre-exam study period to be reverted to 40 days, after it was reduced to 28.
“What we want is that the 40 days that was reduced to 28 be changed back to 40, and the amount of subject included in exams to be reduced,” Dabin Ibrahim, a protesting student told Rafaat on Wednesday. More at the link

Given the general area (Northern Iraq), culture, a large IRANIAN 5th Column of Activists and terrorists and the post-war mentality of the student population being discussed.
I support the use of Live Ammo and the way it was applied.
Seriously! Why carry BLANKS?
It only increases the possibility of a crowd overrun and the seizure of the weapon. Which would be then loaded with LIVE ammo seized also.
“The security forces fired into the sky to scare us off, some students did not leave, so they hit them with the back of their weapons and one student got injured,” a student said.
Multiple members of the TFSA group Liwa ‘Asifat al Shamal killed and wounded tonight near Azaz in clashes with the Afrin Liberation Forces. Picture is too graphic to post.
One of former senator John McCain’s pet anti-Assad groups, the Northern Storm Brigade formed in 2011 from a group of smugglers in the city of Azaz in northern Syria that controlled the Bab al-Salam border crossing. They folded in the face of ISIS expansion, fleeing to Turkey. Now they’re part of Turkey’s irregulars, the so-called Free Syrian Army, but that clearly hasn’t given them the backbone to stand up against the local Kurds, either.
[NPASYRIA] On Thursday, the Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF), with the participation of the US-led Global Coalition, arrested an ISIS member in the eastern countryside of Deir ez-Zor.
"An ISIS member was arrested in the town of al-Shuhail area in the eastern countryside of Deir ez-Zor," a military source told North Press.
In February, the SDF announced a large-scale military operation against ISIS sleeper cells with the participation of People’s Protection Units (YPG), Women’s Protection Units (YPJ), and the Internal Security Forces (Asayish).
The eastern countryside of Deir ez-Zor has witnessed recently an increase in ISIS cell activists, as a result the kurdish-led Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) and the US-led Global Coalition raised the pace of their security operations.
