🧵Part I: El Salvador, Violence, Shifting Government Strategy, Gangs, and Terrorism: El Salvador has (14) provinces on a landmass of 8000 square miles (roughly 1/7th the size of Illinois) with a population of ~6.5 million, where the population has trended downward since 1950.
@jpr9954@AmmoLand A Google search is not a study. The Crime Prevention Research Center (CPRC) 'study' is nothing but clickbait. The Glock switch is ubiquitous in Chicago's gangland shootings.
@wil_da_beast630 In the first 24 hours of Floyd unrest in Chicago on May 31, there were 18 homicides and 45 shootings, culminating in 24 homicides and 85 shootings over the weekend.
@sarahadams This problem sits squarely with emergency dispatch with its entirely separate management and organization. It's not a policing problem. The police weren't dispatched by call takers until 10:54 and responded by 11:10.
@christopherrufo@Rafa_Mangual It's misdirection: Bezos knows the top 0.01% pay very little as a proportion given sheltering options and low taxation on wealth growth. Bezos paid zero federal income tax in 2007 and 2011, and less than ~1.1% on wealth growth from 2006-2018.
@PeterMoskos@Bloodhound1013@NYCPBASOS Without a Rabbi he wouldn't have gotten into the Mounted Unit to begin with. Rapid promotion is part-and-parcel to the political patronage track.

If the New London police had the threat report and manifesto prior to event, it's likely that the local JTTF didn't generate a SAR, alert USSS, or conduct a follow-through investigation here.
Fox News reporter: The shooters manifesto said he wanted to target administration officials.
Investigators also found extensive anti-Trump and anti-Christian rhetoric across his social media accounts.
According to reports, Allen’s brother alerted New London Police Department after receiving the alleged manifesto before the incident.
U.S. Secret Service and Montgomery County Police Department later interviewed Allen’s sister, Avriana Allen, at the family home in Rockville. Key points from the interview:
• She said her brother often made radical statements and spoke about doing “something” to fix today’s world.
• She confirmed he bought 2 handguns and a shotgun from Cap Tactical
Firearms and stored them at their parents’ home without their knowledge.
• He regularly trained with those firearms at shooting ranges.
• He was reportedly linked to a group called “The Wide Awakes.”
• He also attended a “No Kings” protest in California.
The apple doesn't fall far from the tree. The ideological roots of the ACLU with founder Roger Baldwin had little to do with a neutral constitutionalism: "I am for socialism, disarmament, and ultimately, for abolishing the State itself." And in that continuous vein the ACLU has been a dishonest and bad faith stakeholder in the CJR debate from day one.
