The greatest duty - the greatest privilege - that any police officer can ever have is to play a part in saving the life of another human being…

This morning has mostly been spent reporting vile racism to X. And being told by X that none of their rules have been violated.

This is not a policing problem. It is a family problem. A community problem. A society problem. And we aren’t going to be able to arrest our way out of it.
Police authorised a dispersal order after large crowds of youths gathered in Clapham, south London, on Tuesday. Two teenage girls were arrested on suspicion of assaulting an emergency worker and were taken into custody. trib.al/U0j55zm

Donald J Trump April’s Fool…
🚨 EXCLUSIVE: Donald Trump has told The Telegraph's @connor_stringer he is strongly considering pulling the United States out of Nato after it failed to join his war on Iran. Read the US president's thoughts on what Putin thinks of the alliance and the UK's reluctance to spend on defence here 👇 telegraph.co.uk/world-news/2…
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
Important legal context: Trump could try to withdraw the U.S. from NATO, but Congress has already passed a law (National Defense Authorization Act) saying a President cannot do it unilaterally without either a two-thirds Senate vote or separate new legislation. thehill.com/homenews/43604… washingtonexaminer.com/news/senate/44… lawfaremedia.org/article/consti… iar-gwu.org/blog/2zb4m98no…

There was a time when, for all its evident faults, the United States of America actually stood for something. Now, it seems, a large proportion of its population - including all the cowards surrounding the mad king - will fall for anything.
“All of those countries that can’t get jet fuel because of the Strait of Hormuz, like the United Kingdom, which refused to get involved in the decapitation of Iran, I have a suggestion for you…” - President Donald J. Trump

I like your Christ, but I do not like your Christians, for they are so unlike your Christ…
Leavitt begins the press briefing: "Could you hear our 'amen' in there? We just had a little loud prayer as a team. In this holy week, President Trump and the First Lady are joining in prayer with Christians celebrating the resurrection of our lord and savior, Jesus Christ."

To embrace humanity…
We turn our gaze to Jesus, who reveals himself as King of Peace, even as war looms abounds him. He remains steadfast in meekness, while others are stirring up violence. He offers himself to embrace humanity, even as others raise swords and clubs. #GospelOfToday
