Officer arrests man only to end up in cuffs himself.

Officers arrest Moncre Moon during a traffic stop due to an outstanding warrant. He was searched when stopped and was found with 3000 in cash on his person.

Moon knew exactly how much money he had and suspected Officer Henry Chapman of taking some of his money to the tune of 900 dollars.

​The bodycam footage later revealed the truth: Chapman had palmed the cash and stuffed it into the driver’s side door pocket of his patrol cruiser.

​ Officer Chapman was arrested by his own department within 6 hours of the incident.

​He resigned from the Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police Department the very next day.

​ In September 2024, Chapman entered an Alford Plea to felony embezzlement. While he claimed he didn't have "intent to steal," he acknowledged the evidence was enough to convict him.

​ He was handed 2 years of supervised probation and ordered to complete cognitive behavioral therapy.

​Because Moon spoke up and the supervisor checked the footage, a badge couldn't hide a crime. Right is right, and wrong is wrong.

What do you think about this? Another soft sentence for an officer that broke the law? 🤔

Not that it will make any difference with people who have sworn a blood covenant with stupidity.

Video shows an Iranian woman recording a message to Americans, explaining the meaning behind 'Allahu Akbar' to deconstruct Islamophobic narratives of the term.

Moments into the recording, a supposed US-Israeli strike caused an explosion behind her.

@Its_ereko The whole veto power nonsense has never made sense to me. Too much power for a selected few... rubbish!

If you sum up the last 20 years of the US-Iran relationship, it reads like this:

US: Do not peruse nuclear weapons

Iran: Ok we signed the nuclear proliferation treaty

US: Too bad, you’re getting sanctioned

Iran: Ok

US: Stop pursuing nuclear weapons

Iran: We’re not; we’re generating energy just like other countries.

US: Sign a deal and have us inspect what you’re doing

Iran: Ok, deal signed, inspectors welcome

US: Too bad, deal canceled and you’re getting more sanctions

Iran: Ok

US: Stop pursuing nukes or else

Iran: Look, we did everything you’ve asked

US: Too bad, we’re gonna bomb you anyway. That girl school looks like a good target *BOOM*

Israel: *bombs Iran

Iran: *defends itself

Israel: “The evil regime of Iran is targeting our civilians”

US: “Iran is cutting heads off babies”

[Marc Botenga MEP @BotengaM]

Iran: From the young girls in an elementary school to the millions of people in Tehran breathing toxic smoke, Trump and Netanyahu don't bring democracy. They bring chaos and death. Europe needs to stop supporting their criminal war.

[The Cake Lady @got_cake]

An incident in Rio de Janeiro involving an Argentinian tourist has sparked international debate 🇧🇷
Brazil has strict anti-discrimination laws, and violations can lead to serious legal consequences.
This case is a reminder that when you travel, you’re stepping into another country’s legal and cultural framework.
Even online, evidenced by how Brazilians drag their own countrymen for being bigots on my posts, you know the culture is authentic.

What are your thoughts?

[The gatekeeper @lejamoh]

So spot on👌🏾
I wish every European leader will finally wake up and speak to this reality.

[Li Jingjing 李菁菁 @Jingjing_Li]

Every country has such despicable sellouts.

Venezuelans outside of #Venezuela are cheering the U.S. illegal military operations.

But Venezuelans actually in Venezuela are protesting against Washington's actions and demanding the release of Maduro and his wife.

Those who naively believe U.S. intervention will make their life better ... the U.S. has a terrible track record of regime change, every time it does it, it's a devastating nightmare to people live in that country.

Ask Iraqis, Libyans, Afghans, Syrians ...... have their life gotten any better after U.S. intervention?

[𝘊𝘰𝘳𝘳𝘪𝘯𝘦 @OopsGuess]

This time, Trump didn’t just “intervene in a coup,”
he tore off the last fig leaf of the international system.

Because he sent a naked signal to the world:
If I say you’re a criminal, you’re a criminal.
If I want to arrest your president, I’ll send special forces to kidnap him across borders.

What does this mean?
It means that: except for a few nuclear-armed powers, every other country has just become an inferior nation, vulnerable to purging at any time.

Today it’s Maduro.
Tomorrow it could be an African head of state.
The day after, a left-wing president in Latin America.

Rules no longer exist.
Only force does.

And history has shown us:
• The U.S. doesn’t dare attack North Korea
• It won’t start a full-scale war against Iran
• It won’t touch Russia
• It wouldn’t even approach Cuba
Because their leaders hold one thing in common:
a final insurance policy: nuclear weapons, or an equivalent threat of retaliation.

But Venezuela had none.
No nukes, no satellite shield, no leverage.
Just a president kidnapped, and a nation that couldn’t stop it.

So no, Trump didn’t open Pandora’s box.
He forced the Global South to draw a brutal conclusion:
Without nuclear deterrence, there is no sovereignty.
And that’s where the danger truly begins.

Because when a world order tells weaker nations,
“You don’t have the right to exist,”
the only rational response becomes:
Develop irreversible weapons.

What comes next?
• Regional arms races
• Nuclear proliferation
• Accelerated de-dollarization
• A global strategic shift away from U.S. dominance

The Pandora’s Box is open.
Washington didn’t just kidnap a man,
It kidnapped the last illusion of a rules-based world.

@Iamjaneezy Hmmm...inspiring.

[The gatekeeper @lejamoh]

@Iamjaneezy Happy new year to you too.

[The gatekeeper @lejamoh]

@Iamjaneezy Sure, religion by itself isn't bad but over the years it has been weaponized to serve ulterior agenda
I love to compare the concept religion to a "neutral power" coming from one source, that can be used either for good or evil.
Sadly religion has been used more for evil than good
