"Inside Texas’ fight against a ransomware hack"

https://apnews.com/article/technolog...3c1bd6cee5aef7

So they know it is Russia?

It is all relatively new technology, but if you use the internationally accessible internet for controlling and steering your industry and citizen support, be it electricity or water resources or personal data, defense networks or whatever, one should maybe use an entirely different system, or make the one in use secure against such attacks.
Europe has nothing to fear of course, anyone could hack it all because we are so friendly and harmless here

Something's going on here...

Four officers who responded to the January 6 attack on the Capitol have died by apparent suicide

.

That's insane!

Do you include the word apparent because you have heard it might be something else? I can't think of any reason someone would have it out for the capitol police.

It would not at all surprise me if they committed Arkancide...

The predatory, derogatory, venomous accusations and hate speech directed at police officers in recent headlines. Can have devastating affects even on good officers. Couple that with the additional riot drama and no wonder more haven’t gone off the deep end. In fact I bet if the media actually gave a damn and investigated further they would probably find suicide is a more common occurrence in the force than we think

Nosebutbutsee... All cops are racist killers. CNN told me so.

I can't either. I copied the title from the video news source, but I have to go along with the use of the word apparent, because...it doesn't make sense. What kind of guy kills himself over something like the Capitol riots? Commit suicide...for what reason? Depression? Coping with dealing with a bunch of yahoos over a 10 hour span?

Like this guy says, how many Portland cops have killed themselves over 180 days of mad, flaming riots, right?

I agree but it'll be difficult getting the straight story out of all the conspiracy theories that will be generated from this.

Onkel Neal · 08-03-21, 11:24 PM

Honestly, I cannot imagine some group is offing cops, the possibility that could be exposed sounds super-risky.

But ... what is going on here? It's crazy, man, I don't see how this is happening.

Maybe they are getting pressured after the riot by the same idiots. Maybe they are feeling guilty for not having prevented the breech. Maybe they are feeling betrayed by the politicians who are mocking them for having felt their lives were at risk. I'm pretty sure if that mob was trying to break into your house you'd feel threatened and take steps to defend yourself.

les green01 · 08-04-21, 12:41 AM

i have seen video's shot by the rioters or whatever you want to call them some of the police move barricades aside and motion for them to go though even seen a video of the woman getting kill police around them wasnt trying to stop them the officers didnt react until the cap busted on her no telling why they waste their selves and probly never know unless they left a note

There are pictures of the cops with "rioters" taking selfies...

Maybe. But don't you think this is really, really odd?
