A police officer in West Virginia has resigned after being confronted over Facebook posts in which he supported violence against protesters, Winfield Police Dept. chief says.

A police officer in Winfield, West Virginia, has resigned after being confronted over Facebook posts in which he supported violence against protesters, Winfield Police Department Chief Ron Arthur said.

“The fact that someone did that is a complete anomaly compared to the rest of the department, and I want to get that message out there as quick as I can,” Arthur said.to take stronger measures against the protests that have sprung up after Minneapolis police killing George Floyd last week. Rather, it appears the truck driver, who has been arrested, got to the freeway before barricades were set up to block traffic. The freeway was being closed to protect protesters in the roadway, who were peaceful.

The driver kept"barreling forward" and said he slammed on the brakes after a woman on a bike fell in front of him, Harrington said. "We don't have any information that makes this seem like this was an intentional act," Harrington said.

America rethinks its strategy in the Wild West of cyberspaceAmerica’s approach to cyber-attacks has shifted from punishment to pre-emption—not so much striking back as striking first Kind of sounds like it’s approach to protest. Maybe if the 'intelligence' letters hadn't spent decades degrading IT security, so they could spy on everyone else, we wouldn't have this problem, because our systems would be secure enough against cyber attacks. This is a self created problem.
