Veteran Police Officer Shot, Turn of Destiny in This Became Catastrophic Fatality

March 13, 2020
What to start off with, is very difficult; statements have already been made by prominent members of law enforcement that words cannot express the loss.

Attempt at stating some information herein, order which is aside.

In Philadelphia, Pennsylvania this morning at about 5:45am, Cpl Connor was shot fatally, apparently a bullet striking him in a vulnerable area where it cold strike the body, over the bulletproof vest.

Frankford might be a key word.

Shortly after the first week of August of 2019, a 22 year veteran police officer, Sgt Carrington, was shot, it was in the Frankford area of Baltimore, Maryland, near Route 1, while talking with a neighbor, in mid-afternoon. He was on life support, and lived.

This morning SWAT Officer Cpl James O'Connor the Fourth, a 23 year veteran, at the time of shooting, as of today it is seems has served almost the same length as Sgt Carrington. The event was in the Frankford neighborhood of Philadelphia.

Cpl O'Connor leaves a wife and two adult children. Both prodigy are serving, in police force and US Air Force, setting increased weight on the Cpl O'Connor, and the incident.

It is a certainty that he will receive numerous honors.

Cpl O'Connor was rushed to Temple University Hospital, the deceasing reportedly pronounced as being after 6am, about 20 minutes after the bullet struck.

Condolences to the loss.

There will be many questions. Going forward, will veterans of that level be the ones to carry out extremely dangerous tasks which might otherwise be done in different manners, may be one of them. There have been other police fatalities recently in other parts of the US involving minimal lighting and dangerous situations.

Coronavirus Success Story: Shutdowns

March 13, 2020
Written and published evening of March 12, 2020 EST

Perhaps it was not entirely clear whether coronavirus would affect to the extent it is now, especially the economy.

It appears there might be a 'third wave' of major contenders to economic stability in the US., right up in there with shutdowns and gridlocks.

Coronavirus-19, for 2019, may have had the potential to loom large, however, ordinarily most viruses are phased out by the might of US technology and advanced medicine.

The cards have not been played or fell the way they usually do, and now from coast to coast, entire cities are being virtually closed, schools, gatherings limited, and so forth, as we deal with this coronavirus.

The embarrassing part of it all, is the cure might be a simpler fix than most would suspect.

Fortunately, there is still a degree of latency, to find solutions, before it is too late.

Of course the key is, to find the answers, and act in the ideal guidance, at the right time.

 

Two 'Messes' That Need to be Addressed Immediately

February 26, 2020
Published night February 25, 2020 EST
The rule is being broken here; regardless of whether or not a newsworthy story evolved to do just that, bring attention to a region of the world through death and destruction. Ordinarily, there is a strive not to allow stories about strife in the Middle East, or anywhere, to be set directly alongside, or even juxtaposed with stories related to the White House.

The U.S. and Turkey for many years have had allegiances. Holding on to the allegiances has many wisdoms, which comes with the perspective leading to the same, that to break allegiance with Turkey is not wise.
The U.S and Saudi Arabia, same sentence as above, for many years have had allegiances. Holding on to the allegiances has many wisdoms, which comes with the perspective leading to the same, that to break allegiance with Saudi Arabia is not wise.
Upon international relations now, is that at least two Turkish troops have been reported fatalities in the strife in Libya.
Once again, the mess in Libya between the main rivals, current government, and the group seeking to overthrow it, leaves a number of nations with allegiances spread out and perhaps even contrary to clean-cut consistent allegiance groupings.
With the troops dead, and Turkey backing one group, while the U.S. backs the other, where is the future going with this?
Meanwhile, post the recent Democratic debate in South Carolina earlier this evening, current POTUS campaign assesses that situation as a mess.
Respectfully put, mess in terms of policy complexity, we now have 2, large scale messes that are on the table for cleaning up as carefully yet as quickly as possible.

Refer Burma/Myanmar page for air strikes over the EOM February/2026 start of March 2026 time frame. Up for consideration is the be mindful of the whole pie concept. There may very well be a double team set of missile strikes going on on Iran, subject to differing views; however there are still a number of situations going on globally that are weighted, such as violence in different areas of where the Sahel and Northern Africa meet, situations of starvation in the eastern areas of the belt as well; and missile strikes in other regions.
