Trump Plan to Designate Antifa, KKK as ‘Terrorist Organizations’

President Donald Trump is slated to announce a measure that designates far-left movement Antifa and the Ku Klux Klan (KKK) as terrorist organizations, calling for lynching to be made a federal hate crime. According to a copy of Trump’s speech, he will provide details about his plan for Black America, including a pledge to access capital in black communities by about $500 billion. The move is likely an attempt for Trump to further try and peel away black voters’ support from Democratic nominee Joe Biden. “For decades, Democrat politicians like Joe Biden have taken black voters for granted. They made you big promises before every election—and then the moment they got to Washington, they abandoned you and sold you out,” said a copy of Trump’s speech, reported Fox News. “The…

A British police officer was shot dead in the early hours of Friday by a man who was being held at a custody centre in south London.

Police said the incident occurred at about 2:15 a.m. while the man was being detained at the Croydon Custody Centre, where arrested suspects are processed. The unnamed officer was treated at the scene for injuries but died in hospital.

The 23-year-old suspect is thought to have then turned the gun on himself. He was taken to hospital with a gunshot wound and is in a critical condition. Officers did not open fire.

“A murder investigation is under way and officers are working at several crime scenes to secure evidence and to establish the facts of what happened,” said London police chief Cressida Dick, who described the incident as “truly shocking”.

“Early indications are that the suspect shot himself. This has not yet, of course, been established as a fact.”

The incident has been referred to the Independent Office for Police Conduct (IOPC) which later said the suspect had been arrested for possession of drugs and ammunition.

“The man was handcuffed to the rear before being transported to Croydon Custody Suite in a police vehicle where he was escorted into the building,” it added in a statement.

The handcuffs remained in place while officers prepared to search him using a metal detector, the IOPC said. At that point, shots were fired.

Prime Minister Boris Johnson said: “My deepest condolences go to the family, friends and colleagues of the police officer who was killed in Croydon last night. We owe a huge debt to those who risk their own lives to keep us safe.”

The killing of an officer is a rare event in Britain where the vast majority of police remain routinely unarmed. The BBC said only 16 other London police officers had been killed by a firearm since World War Two.

NYPD Spying Case a ‘Wake-Up Call’ About Chinese Infiltration in US, Local Tibetans Say

NEW YORK—The arrest of an NYPD officer for allegedly spying on local Tibetans for Beijing should serve as a “wake-up call” for U.S. officials about the depth of Chinese espionage in the country, local Tibetan activists said. Baimadajie Angwang, an ethnic Tibetan and naturalized U.S. citizen, had worked at the NYPD’s 111th Precinct in Queens, and is also an Army reservist holding a “secret” security clearance. The 33-year-old was arrested on Sept. 19 on four charges, including acting as an illegal Chinese agent, and faces up to 55 years prison if convicted. Angwang’s arrest was hardly a surprise to the ethnic Tibetans in New York City who had prior contact with him. The Tibetan Community of New York and New Jersey (TCNYNJ), a New York-based nonprofit established in 1979, said…
