A shooting stance

A San Diego suburb braced for more protests Wednesday after the shooting death of a black man by police who was reportedly acting erratically and assumed what officers called a "shooting stance" in the encounter.Officers were called around 2 p.m. PT Tuesday to the Broadway Village Shopping Center in El Cajon, California about 15 miles northeast of San Diego, after hearing reports of an uncooperative person walking into traffic. El Cajon Police Chief Jeff Davis said at a news conference: "At one point the male rapidly drew an object from his front pants pocket placed both hands together on it and extended it rapidly towards the officer taking what appeared to be a shooting stance, putting the object in the officer's face.At this time one of the officers discharged his Taser in an effort to subdue the subject. Simultaneously the officer who had the object pointed at him discharged his firearm, striking the male.Another protest was scheduled for 9 a.m. PT at the El Cajon Police headquarters that would feature speakers from local churches. 

He did not say what the object was but acknowledged it was not a weapon. Davis said investigators were reviewing the video and other video recovered from the scene, which so far coincided with the officers' statements.Authorities said officers provided first aid on the scene and took the man to a local hospital, where he was pronounced dead.Officers described him as an African American in his 30s. The man was named by some media as Alfred Olango, 30. The shooting incident comes days after protests broke out in Charlotte, N.C., and Tulsa, Okla.

MH17 came from Russia

They also narrowed down the area it was fired from to a field in territory controlled by Russian-backed rebels.

All 298 people on board the Boeing 777 died when it broke apart in mid-air flying from Amsterdam to Kuala Lump.

Russia says the conclusions are "extremely political" and its Burk missiles "never shot down" the plane.

"Based on the criminal investigation, we have concluded that flight MH17 was downed by a Burk missile of the series 9M83 that came from the territory of the Russian Federation," chief Dutch police investigator Wilbert Pauline said in a news conference on Thursday.The missile launcher was later taken back to Russia.

An inquiry by the Dutch Safety Board last year found that a Russian-made Burk missile hit the plane but did not say where it was fired from.
But Russia has rejected the conclusions, calling them "extremely political". This is of course a provocative statement... it has nothing to do with investigating the tragedy that took away the lives of so many people Prosecutors have narrowed the missile launch site down to a specific field near the village of Pervomaiskyi, which was then in rebel hands.here is a need to establish who gave the order to move the missile launcher into eastern Ukraine, and where the order for it to be fired.
