The video footage appears to show that the gun was taken away from the man before he was shot.

Federal law enforcement agents shot and killed a man in Minneapolis on Jan. 24 according to local police officials. DHS told Fox News that the man was “armed with a gun”. A video of the shooting appears to show that a gun was taken from the man before the first shot was fired. x.com/BillMelugin_...

Now it's time for the EU to choose the EU because fucking hell, EU - when will you understand Trump isn't a master strategist, just an idiot bully with a stick he can only use as long as everyone independently keeps giving in.
Greenland PM Jens-Frederik Nielsen:
"If we have to choose between the US & Denmark here and now, we choose Denmark. We choose NATO. We choose the Kingdom of Denmark. We choose the EU."
"Greenland does not want to be owned by the US. Greenland does not want to be governed by the US" he later added.

Some guys do not realise how lucky they are when it comes to something as simple as being allowed to play video games. Growing up as a girl and being berated by family for even thinking of playing a game sucks.

I still can’t believe we are (probably) on the cusp of the announcement of the next Half-Life game, even though it’s development has been known about for years.
The announcement of Half-Life Alyx doesn’t feel that long ago, and I feel like I can’t allow myself to get existed again.

De Bennebroekse Lisa wil graag haar eigen appartement kopen, maar wordt daarin belemmerd door een studieschuld van 20.000 euro. Onterecht, vindt zij. Lisa stelt namelijk dat de hypotheekverstrekker ook oog moet hebben voor de waarde van haar Pokémonkaartencollectie.
