@iamtomskinner When rates go up, you can earn decent money just sitting in a savings account or buying bonds — so why would anyone bother with a shiny lump that pays you nothing? They wouldn’t. So they sell it.
Gold had been flying — Today it’s given a big chunk of that back.
@iamtomskinner Simple: traders are now betting that the Federal Reserve — that’s America’s Bank of England — might actually put rates up before the year’s out, with markets now calling it a fifty-fifty shot for a November hike.
@iamtomskinner The Yanks just put out their jobs numbers for May, and they were a blinder — the American economy added 172,000 jobs, when everyone reckoned it’d only be about 85,000. That’s nearly double what the City boys were expecting.
So what’s that got to do with your gold?
@iamtomskinner You know how gold is like a brolly — everyone wants one when it’s chucking it down, but when the sun comes out, you shove it under the bed? Well, the sun just came out
@daveatherton The Sikh community should not be tarnished by the actions of one family. One in a million should not blind us to all the good that the Sikh community offers.
@DrRebeccaTidy HTF can a Police Force be rated inadequate at the one thing it’s supposed to do best…investigate crime…and don’t get me started on failing children.
An officer must have a valid objective reason to believe handcuffing is necessary. The accepted criteria include:
1 - Preventing Escape: A reasonable belief that the detainee will attempt to run away.
Henry Nowak was unable to stand, let alone run away.
2 - Preventing Harm: To protect the officer, the public, or the detainee themselves from imminent violence or self-injury.
Henry Nowak was bleeding out, unable to attack anyone. The actual perpetrator was still free and uncuffed at this time.
3 - Preventing Evidence Destruction: When a suspect is highly likely to conceal, drop, or destroy evidence.
While no one was watching Digwa, he handed the murder weapon to his mother who then hid it in their home. Digwa also took videos of Henry desperately trying to escape before police arrived. These videos (to my knowledge) have not been released.
4 - Controlling Non-compliance: When the individual is actively resisting or failing to cooperate.
Once again, Henry could hardly get the words "I can't breathe" out, there was no risk of lack of compliance.
Why was Henry Nowak handcuffed?
@Lord_Talbot64 Yet he was found not guilty along with his co-defendant on the second charge . So the picture is that you can beat up police and get away with it … as long as you have an expensive lawyer and a jury who are selected Ala OJ…
