1- The Police Use-of-Force Rule on Moving Vehicles

Core Police Rule taught nationwide: Officers should not intentionally place themselves in front of or in the path of a moving vehicle and then use deadly force to stop it.

2- DOJ / FBI / National Policing Standards

The U.S. Department of Justice and FBI training doctrine states: A moving vehicle alone is not considered a deadly threat. Officers must attempt to move out of the vehicle’s path rather than fire.

Deadly force is not justified if: The officer voluntarily placed themselves in front of the vehicle. The vehicle is attempting to flee. There are other avenues of escape

3- International Association of Chiefs of Police (IACP)

The IACP model policy says:

Officers shall not fire at or from a moving vehicle unless:
There is an imminent threat other than the vehicle itself, and No reasonable alternatives exist

Standing in front of a vehicle creates the danger and invalidates the justification.

4- Minnesota training explicitly teaches:

Officers must avoid positioning themselves in front of vehicles during enforcement actions

Use of deadly force is not justified when the danger results from the officer’s own tactical decisions

This is drilled into recruits.

5- Supreme Court Context

While not a numbered rule, courts repeatedly rule that:

An officer cannot manufacture a deadly-force scenario and then claim self-defense.

This is known legally as “officer-created jeopardy.”

5- How It’s Taught to Police

Police are taught:

Step aside

Let the vehicle go

Identify later

Do not block with your body

Do not draw a gun in front of a car

Why?

Because:

Cars are common

People panic

Officers escalate situations unnecessarily

Innocent people get killed.

I cannot comprehend, as hard as I try, how you become this. How you become so soulless. So evil and pathetic. J.D Vance knows he’s lying. He walked off this stage being only concerned with winning the PR battle. He knows she was executed. He doesn’t care.

Their rhetoric about their own citizens is almost indistinguishable

[Abier @abierkhatib]

The harder they try to suppress Palestinian voices, the more determined people become to amplify them and resist.

Solidarity with Dr Randa Abdel Fattah.

“Germany condemns the use of violence against protesters in Iran that are burning banks, business and holy sights”.
Germany with protesters. 👇🏼

[Ounka @OunkaOnX]

Ask Israeli leaders: "What would you do if you were Palestinian?"

Former Shin Bet chief: "Fight."

Former Prime Minister: "Join a terror group."

They know the truth. The occupation is so brutal, so illegitimate, that even its architects admit they would violently resist it

[Francesca Albanese, UN Special Rapporteur oPt @FranceskAlbs]

This is what Israeli settlers do to Palestinians every day.
“Settlers” are Israeli citizens acting with impunity to force Palestinians out.
They make up about 10% of Israeli society; yet their violence is carried out in everyone’s name.
Israelis who oppose violence must intervene

Ms Rachel is trying to stop the Israeli government from demolishing a children’s soccer field. She’s calling on @FIFAcom @UEFAcom and players for help.

[Owen Jones @owenjonesjourno]

Rachel Reeves' pro-Israel speech was utterly disgusting.

Our political elite are dripping with contempt for the worth of Palestinian life.

[B'Tselem בצלם بتسيلم @btselem]

Today (Thursday), 8 January, after persistent attempts, organized settler groups operating in coordination with, and backed by, the Israeli military and the police, succeeded in forcibly transferring 26 families numbering 124 people, including 59 minors from their homes in the community of Ras ‘Ein al-‘Auja.​

The community of Ras ‘Ein al-‘Auja, located about 10 kilometers north of Jericho, is the largest remaining shepherding community in the West Bank and the last surviving in the southern Jordan Valley, after the area has been “cleansed” of Palestinians. It is still home to about 100 families numbering roughly 600 people. The community has long suffered severe and daily violence carried out by Israeli youths, some of them minors, as well as armed settlers supported by military and police forces. This violence includes repeated incursions into its territory with herds of camels and sheep, physical attacks on residents, destruction and theft of property, and livestock theft. In one incident, in March 2025, approximately 1,500 head of sheep were stolen.

On Wednesday, 31 December 2025, another outpost was established some 200 meters from residents’ homes, where, with the approval of the Israeli authorities, herds of sheep and camels were brought for an extended stay. On the morning of Thursday, 8 January 2026, Palestinian families in the houses near which the outpost was established packed their belongings and left their homes of decades. This marks the first wave of departures from the community, whose residents have faced escalating violence since October 2023.

Although journalists report on events in the West Bank, diplomats visit and witness them with their own eyes, and local and international human rights organizations document and publicize the rampant violence, world leaders see, know, and yet choose to do nothing to stop the ethnic cleansing in the West Bank.​

The international community, which has failed, and continues to fail, to stop the ongoing genocide in the Gaza Strip, is still standing idly by in the face of the Israeli regime’s crimes in the West Bank, granting de facto immunity to the State itself and the individuals responsible for these crimes.

Juliet Stevenson: "There are 4 fully equipped mobile maternity clinics waiting to cross the border.. they're not allowed across... the Israeli govt has blocked [them].. we have to stop selling arms to Israel, we have to stop supporting that regime"

Well said.

[Francesca Albanese, UN Special Rapporteur oPt @FranceskAlbs]

BREAKING!!
Israel's unlawful occupation is bombing Gaza again! Dozens of civilians killed, including children.
With most journalists killed/humanitarians blocked, Israel advances its genocidal violence UNNOTICED, aimed solely at forcing Palestinians out.
The shame of the century.

[Yanis Varoufakis @yanisvaroufakis]

Hello friends. I am Yanis Varoufakis stealing a few of your moments to tear up, in front of you, the invitation to appear in the 2026 Adelaide Writers’ Week to present my new book RAISE YOUR SOUL. I was looking forward to returning to Adelaide for what has been for decades a brilliant festival of books, ideas and debate. No longer. The Zionist Lobby destroyed it. By forcing the Board to disinvite fellow author Randa Abdel-Fattah. By identifying even Bob Carr, the former Premier of NSW and Australia’s former foreign minister, an individual “of concern”. By forcing the Director of Adelaide Writers’ Week, my marvellous, Jewish friend Louise Adler, to resign, they left me with no option other than to tear up my coveted invitation in public. As Louise says, friends and colleagues in the arts, beware of the future. They are coming for you.

As Christmas approaches, I reflect on my word of the year: pleonexia — an ancient Greek term describing the insatiable desire to take more than your fair share, even when it harms others.

Once you understand pleonexia, you start to see it everywhere: in big tech, in bond markets, in tax avoidance, and in government policy that treats human suffering as an accounting inconvenience. This video argues that much of what we excuse or defend in modern economics is, in fact, a moral failure hiding in plain sight.

If we want an economy based on care rather than cruelty, contribution rather than entitlement, we first have to name the problem. That is where political economy begins.
