<p><a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/billie-eilish"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Billie Eilish</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;"> fans are a little weirded out by a recent photo she posted of herself dressed as a baby for Halloween, especially since she was posing with her older boyfriend who’s wearing an old man costume.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The 20-year-old </span><a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/celebrities"><span style="font-weight: 400;">singer</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;"> is in a relationship with 31-year-old Jesse Rutherford. The Instagram post seems to indicate that the couple thinks their age gap is funny, but many of Eilish’s followers weren’t very amused. “life is craaaaaaaaaaaaaaazy. happy halloween,” the caption said. </span></p>

<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The image carousel also included photos of her carving a pumpkin, her friend Dylan Minnette in a pumpkin costume, her brother Finneas&#8217; injury, and some concert clips. The final image was of her with Rutherford wearing their baby/old man costumes.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">One person replied, “honestly yikes on the last photo.” </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">“That last slide is gonna haunt her in a few years when she’s older and realizes that a 31 year old has no business with someone that young,” another wrote.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">“Girl wisen up, this isn’t a joke. Why isn’t he with someone his own age? Just think about it. It’s weird, not quirky,” a third shared in the comments. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Eilish and Rutherford seemingly confirmed their relationship by posting that photo. Rumors had been swirling since they were spotted together in October and then were seen kissing outside an Indian restaurant in Los Angeles, per </span><a href="https://people.com/music/billie-eilish-halloween-costume-pokes-fun-at-age-gap-with-boyfriend-jesse-rutherford/" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><span style="font-weight: 400;">People</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;">.   </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">There are </span><a href="https://twitter.com/jrutherfordpics/status/942934059281502208?s=20&amp;t=rd1L9Ancz29kTe5K8fsgUA"><span style="font-weight: 400;">photos</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;"> of the pair in 2017 when Eilish was 15 and Rutherford was 26, though their romance seems relatively new.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Eilish was formerly in a relationship with rapper 7: AMP, real name Brandon Adams but who Eilish refers to as Q, who is 24. She spoke about their relationship in the 2021 Apple TV+ documentary “The World&#8217;s a Little Blurry.”</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">&#8220;I just wasn&#8217;t happy. I didn&#8217;t want the same things he wanted and I don&#8217;t think that&#8217;s fair for him,&#8221; she said. &#8220;I don&#8217;t think you should be in a relationship super excited about things that the other person couldn&#8217;t care less about.&#8221;</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Fans were allegedly upset with how Eilish spoke about Q in the documentary and came after him on social media. The “Bad Guy” singer admonished them, telling them to “be nice.”</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">“Be nice to people no matter what! i love you guys thank you for protecting me but be nice!!&#8221; Eilish </span><a href="https://twitter.com/PopCrave/status/1366828699950198787"><span style="font-weight: 400;">wrote</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;"> on Instagram.</span></p>

U.S.

<p style="font-weight: 400;">In the latest mass shooting in Chicago, fourteen people, including children ages 3, 11, and 13, were shot in a 3-second drive-by attack on Halloween night, police said.</p>
<p style="font-weight: 400;">Seven women and four men ranging in age from 31 to 56 were also shot. According to Chicago Police Superintendent David Brown, two people in a car opened fire at a crowd standing at an intersection for a vigil. Balloons were released around the gathering.</p>
<p style="font-weight: 400;">Alderman Jason Ervin commented, “It&#8217;s heartbreaking that people go out to memorialize someone and then become victims.”</p>
<p style="font-weight: 400;">“Hold off on hyperbole right now,” Brown <a href="https://chicago.suntimes.com/crime/2022/10/31/23434159/multiple-people-shot-in-east-garfield-park" target="_blank" rel="noopener">told reporters</a> asking how many people had been shot. “Right now, people are in there getting treated, some may be fighting for their lives. Let’s right now treat this in the most urgent way, we’re trying to find an offender.”</p>
<p style="font-weight: 400;">“We picked up another girl, a little girl, about 13, and we brought her to that ambulance,” an eyewitness told <a href="https://www.foxnews.com/us/chicago-mass-shooting-several-children-among-least-14-injured-drive-citys-west-side" target="_blank" rel="noopener">FOX 32 Chicago</a>. “But the ambulance driver said, &#8216;No, we can&#8217;t bring her in because you have people worse.&#8217; So we just sat her on the bumper.”</p>
<p style="font-weight: 400;">The bystander added that one small girl had a bullet wound under her knee.</p>
<p style="font-weight: 400;">Six victims were transported to Mount Sinai Hospital, four to Stroger Hospital, two to Loyola University Medical Center and two to Northwestern Memorial Hospital, CBS News <a href="https://www.cbsnews.com/chicago/news/lawndale-mass-shooting/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">reported</a>.</p>
<p style="font-weight: 400;">“It’s over by three seconds,” Brown said. “The car’s pulling out after driving by and shooting randomly into the crowd. We do not have any motive. &#8230; We always worry about retaliation obviously, but we don’t know enough about this, whether it involved a gang conflict or some personal conflict yet, but as soon as we know we’ll share that with the public. And obviously we’re deploying extra police resources in the area to make sure that we can prevent any retaliation if that’s something that’s real.”</p>
<p style="font-weight: 400;">The shootings were the worst in the Chicago area since March 2021, when fifteen people were shot and two killed in Greater Grand Crossing; in July 2020 fifteen people were shot in Gresham.</p>
<p style="font-weight: 400;">Roughly halfway through 2022, on July 1 the Chicago Police Department <a href="https://news.wttw.com/2022/07/01/shootings-homicides-down-year-chicago-still-pace-top-600-killings-2022-police" target="_blank" rel="noopener">reported</a> that there had been 310 homicides and 1,255 shootings since January 1.</p>
<p style="font-weight: 400;">Through late September, Chicago’s <a href="https://wirepoints.org/chicago-2022-homicide-rate-5-times-higher-than-new-york-citys-2-5-times-higher-than-los-angeles-wirepoints/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">homicide rate</a> was 18.4 people killed for every 100,000 residents. Los Angeles’ homicide rate was 7.5 people killed per 100,000; New York’s homicide rate was 3.6 people killed per 100,000.</p>

<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Fox posted a series of photos to her Instagram account with the caption, “But are these even costumes.” The pair were dressed as former celebrity couple </span><span style="font-weight: 400;">Tommy Lee and Pamela Anderson.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Most of their followers were delighted with their choice of Halloween outfits and how perfect they looked. But some took issue with one of the images MGK, whose real name is Colson Baker, decided to share. In it, the 32-year-old rapper appears to snort a line of cocaine off of Fox’s breasts.</span></p>

<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">While most followers didn’t believe the cocaine was real, they were still a bit upset that MGK would mock hard drug use. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">&#8220;Not cool with the snorting and having teens idol [sic] you,” one fan shared.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Another agreed, writing in the comments thread, &#8220;Not sure about the &#8216;promoting hard drugs&#8217; part&#8230; It is stupid as hell&#8230; Why the f*** would you do this ?&#8221;</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">&#8220;Him thinking it’s ok to post a video doing a fucking line is crossing a f***ing line after every artist we’ve had overdose in the past few years,&#8221; a third person agreed.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">There were also plenty of fans who thought the costumes, including the cocaine prop, were hilarious.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">“Oh my God dude you made me laugh so freaking hard,” one comment said.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Meanwhile, MGK has said in the past that he doesn’t do drugs. &#8220;As I grow, that same person who I was when I was 25 isn&#8217;t who I am now,&#8221; the singer said during an </span><a href="https://www.interviewmagazine.com/music/machine-gun-kelly-tells-dave-franco-about-the-year-that-saved-his-life"><span style="font-weight: 400;">interview</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;"> in 2020. &#8220;Currently, my drug of choice is happiness and commitment to the art, rather than commitment to a vice that I believed made the art. I&#8217;m taking steps.&#8221;</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Fox and MGK are used to shocking their fans with much more scandalous behavior than mimicked drug use. Earlier this year, the pair made headlines after bragging about drinking each other’s blood following their engagement. After getting a lot of backlash, the actress </span><a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/take-my-soul-megan-fox-confirms-she-drinks-fiances-blood-he-drinks-hers-for-ritual-purposes"><span style="font-weight: 400;">explained</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;"> in more detail.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">“I guess to drink each other’s blood might mislead people or people are imagining us with goblets and we’re like ‘Game of Thrones’ drinking each other’s blood,” Fox told Glamour U.K. “It’s just a few drops, but yes, we do consume each other’s blood on occasion for ritual purposes only.”</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">“And it is controlled where it’s like, ‘Let’s shed a few drops of blood and each drink it,’” she continued. “He’s much more haphazard and hectic and chaotic, where he’s willing to just cut his chest open with broken glass and be like, ‘Take my soul.’”</span></p>

<p style="font-weight: 400;">Fashion model Kendall Jenner decided to celebrate Halloween by dressing as a character from the iconic “Toy Story” children’s films, but catalyzed harsh criticism for her costume transforming the character from innocent to racy.</p>
<p style="font-weight: 400;">Jenner, who <a href="https://www.dailymail.co.uk/tvshowbiz/article-11371817/Kendall-Jenner-faces-wave-backlash-sporting-controversial-Toy-Story-Halloween-costume.html">boasts</a> 262 million Instagram followers, posted photos of herself as the cowgirl Jessie, but instead of wearing the character’s traditional chaps over a pair of jeans, the costume featured Jenner wearing cow print chaps over hot pants, leaving some of her derriere exposed, as well as a bare midriff and bare shoulders.</p>

<p>“This is ridiculous. It&#8217;s Halloween, and you&#8217;re just sexualizing a child&#8217;s character,” one Instagram follower wrote in response.</p>
<p style="font-weight: 400;">Some other sample comments: “That’s just wrong 🤯 kids movie, nothing cute about this.” “Sorry but, in my opinion (despite you care about or not) it’s not appropriate to make everything hottie n sexy, leave something for kids for god’s sake.” “Ruins a childhood movie.” “Oh now we’re sexualizing Kids animations Ayy?” “Why sexualize a character that is for children??? Seriously, why???”</p>
<p style="font-weight: 400;">Toy Story’s innocent approach has been criticized before; in June 2019, a writer named Stella Duffy told the BBC, as <a href="https://www.dailymail.co.uk/femail/article-7178101/Writer-SLAMS-Toy-Story-4-having-no-black-leads-labels-disablist.html">the Daily Mail reported,</a> that the film was sexist and racist. Speaking of Toy Story 4, she declared, “Seriously, it’s 2019! What on Earth are Disney doing having a film that has no leads that are black characters?”’</p>
<p style="font-weight: 400;">“Yes, there are black actors, but they are yellow and they are green and they are plush! How can they possibly think that it’s alright now?” she complained. “How can they possibly think that it’s alright now? Yeah, maybe in 1995 – which was also wrong then, as well, actually – but now, to be serious, where every single humanoid toy, is white? It’s just shocking!”</p>
<p style="font-weight: 400;">“Okay, let’s talk about the white feminism on display here. Oh look! Bo-Peep’s a feminist. No she’s not! She’s still going to fall in love, she’s still going to have the happily ever after, that’s not feminism!” Duffy continued. “It’s a woman who kicks off her skirt to reveal bloomers. Had a couple of thoughts… and does some high wire acts.”</p>

146 People Dead, 150 Injured After Being Crushed In Large Halloween Party: Report

146 People Dead, 150 Injured After Being Crushed In Large Halloween Party In South Korea: Report

General

<p>Comedian Bill Maher unloaded on the &#8220;scolds&#8221; he blamed for taking all the fun out of Halloween, arguing that people needed a holiday where they were allowed — and even expected — to be a little irreverent and throw the &#8220;rules&#8221; out the window.</p>
<p>Maher proceeded to go through a list of &#8220;problematic&#8221; Halloween costumes compiled by BuzzFeed, which he renamed &#8220;BuzzKill,&#8221; and explained that &#8220;problematic&#8221; had always been the entire point of the night of freedom that came before All Saints&#8217; Day — which he said had been overtaken in recent years by &#8220;All Scolds Day.&#8221;</p>
<p><strong>WATCH:</strong></p>
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="500" data-dnt="true">

<p>&mdash; Bill Maher (@billmaher) <a href="https://twitter.com/billmaher/status/1586221459491368960?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">October 29, 2022</a></p></blockquote>
<p><script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script></p>
<p>&#8220;New rule!&#8221; Maher began. &#8220;If Halloween is too much for your fragile sensibilities and you&#8217;re worried about seeing someone wearing something that&#8217;s on the forbidden costume list &#8230; just stay the f*** home.&#8221;</p>
<p>Maher went on to mock the idea that there were lists of irreverent costumes that people were warned not to wear &#8230; &#8220;lest a night of irreverent dress-up spiral into something that resembles fun.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;Halloween is supposed to be outrageous! It&#8217;s a festival of the sacrilegious, a celebration of the grotesque,&#8221; Maher continued, adding, &#8220;Yet every year there&#8217;s a new list of offensive things we shouldn&#8217;t do on the day that&#8217;s all about being offensive.&#8221;</p>
<p>Rather than canceling the fun out of Halloween, Maher said he&#8217;d prefer to cancel November 1st: &#8220;All Scolds&#8217; Day&#8221; — which he said was &#8220;when the good people announce which costumes the bad people wore.&#8221;</p>
<p>Reading from &#8220;BuzzKill&#8217;s&#8221; list, Maher began with serial killer Jeffrey Dahmer — &#8220;e-Bay has already banned selling it because otherwise it would be impossible to find a blond wig and aviator glasses.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;I’m so tired of a handful of emotional hemophiliacs on social media telling us what we can’t do on Halloween. And by the way, please put drugs in my candy,&#8221; Maher added.</p>
<p>He went on to read a number of other &#8220;verboten&#8221; costumes from the list: Queen Elizabeth II (&#8220;too soon&#8221;), &#8220;characters outside of your race,&#8221; even Elvis. &#8220;You can&#8217;t dress up as Elvis?&#8221; Maher asked. &#8220;That&#8217;s an entire industry!&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;Have fun kids, and let your imaginations soar,&#8221; he mocked, adding, &#8220;Can I tell you something, kids? These are *all* great costumes. Listen to me, I&#8217;m your last connection to fun.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;For f***&#8217;s sake, it&#8217;s Halloween — which is not just a fun holiday, it&#8217;s a necessary psychic release,&#8221; he added.</p>
<p>Maher concluded the segment by revealing his own costume — a Generation Z scold, complete with multiple masks and face shield, the leash for his emotional support animal, a &#8220;F*** the Patriarchy&#8221; t-shirt, and the stick he said was meant to &#8220;go up his ass.&#8221;</p>

<p>Americans shopping for <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/halloween">Halloween</a> candy ahead of this year’s festivities are in for quite a scare.</p>
<p>Though <a href="http://dailywire.com/topic/inflation">price levels</a> rose 8.2% between September 2021 and September 2022, the cost of candy products has increased 13.1% over the same period, according to a <a href="https://www.bls.gov/news.release/cpi.t07.htm">report</a> from the Bureau of Labor Statistics. The news comes as candy producers, like many other American industries, grapple with <a href="http://dailywire.com/topic/supply-chain">supply chain</a> issues, <a href="http://dailywire.com/topic/jobs">labor shortages</a>, and other phenomena worsening higher price levels. Halloween enthusiasts are nevertheless prepared to buy 5% more candy and chocolate than last year, according to a <a href="https://candyusa.com/news/93-percent-of-americans-plan-to-celebrate-the-2022-halloween-season/">report</a> from the National Confectioners Association.</p>
<p>“The past few years have proven that the confectionery industry is resilient, and Americans remain enthusiastic about enjoying their favorite treats during seasonal celebrations like Halloween with friends and family,” National Confectioners Association CEO John Downs remarked. “Chocolate and candy play a special role during the Halloween season in communities across the country — and this Halloween promises to be especially impressive as chocolate and candy companies bring consumers classic, innovative and great-tasting products that enhance the season.”</p>
<p>Executives at Hershey have <a href="https://www.reuters.com/business/retail-consumer/hershey-raises-annual-adjusted-profit-growth-forecast-2022-07-28/">said</a> that the company would fail to meet demand for Halloween, which accounts for one-tenth of its revenue, due to the Russian invasion of Ukraine and related shortages of cocoa, edible oil, and other ingredients. Nestlé, the world’s largest food company, has <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/worlds-largest-food-company-will-raise-prices-amid-inflation">repeatedly increased</a> prices in response to inflation.</p>
<p>Despite the price pressures, overall Halloween spending will increase from $10.1 billion last year to $10.6 billion, according to a <a href="https://nrf.com/media-center/press-releases/halloween-participation-returns-pre-pandemic-levels-record-spending">report</a> from the National Retail Federation, marking a recovery from the lockdown-induced recession. Consumers plan to spend an average of $100 on candy, decorations, and costumes.</p>
<p>“Halloween is an exciting time for many families, and that enthusiasm is reflected in the number of Americans who plan to celebrate the holiday this year,” National Retail Federation CEO Matthew Shay said. “As consumers continue to return to pre-pandemic behaviors, retailers are prepared to meet that demand and help make this holiday a fun and memorable one.”</p>
<p>In response to the most recent inflation data, President Joe Biden <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/shows-some-progress-biden-responds-to-another-dismal-inflation-report">acknowledged</a> the cost pressures while arguing that his legislative agenda has helped to alleviate related fallout.</p>
<p>“Today’s report shows some progress in the fight against higher prices, even as we have more work to do,” he said in a <a href="https://www.whitehouse.gov/briefing-room/statements-releases/2022/10/13/statement-by-president-joe-biden-on-the-september-consumer-price-index-report/">statement</a>. “But even with this progress, prices are still too high.

<p style="font-weight: 400;">A Mississippi daycare has been harshly criticized after a horrifying video surfaced  that showed an alleged worker wearing a terrifying Halloween mask while screaming into toddlers’ faces and chasing them because they were “bad.”</p>
<p style="font-weight: 400;">A daycare worker at Lil’ Blessings Childcare and Learning Center in Hamilton, Mississippi reportedly <a href="https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-11288091/Daycare-worker-scares-toddlers-puts-Halloween-mask-SCREAMS-children-bad.html">filmed the incidents</a> last month showing the frightened children crying out “mama” or hiding behind shelving units in response to the terror inflicted on them.</p>
<p style="font-weight: 400;">“A couple of weeks ago some girls at the daycare bought Halloween masks to scare the kids, they did it and I never got it on video,” Jennifer Kayla Newman, a worker at the daycare, wrote on Facebook.</p>
<p style="font-weight: 400;">“The kids were terrified but I knew if I told the owner, it would be a slap on the wrist for them as I&#8217;ve complained about other things in the past and nothing ever got done. So, when I heard she was going to do it again, I recorded to get the proof and then the video was sent to parents to show them how their child was being treated,” she continued.</p>
<p style="font-weight: 400;">The videos show an alleged worker instructing the woman in the mask not to target toddlers who had &#8220;been good.”</p>
<p style="font-weight: 400;">The alleged worker in the mask rants in one child’s face, “Are you being bad? Do I need to take you outside?” and screams as the co-worker laughs. prompting the child to hide his face before crying out, “No.” But the masked woman still screams into his face, threatening, “You better be good.”</p>
<p style="font-weight: 400;">Then the masked woman warns another group of children, “Y&#8217;all better be ready.” Three children hide behind a shelving unit as the woman enters as the children cry out. The woman then chases one little boy attempting to run away, screaming at him, “Run!”</p>
<p style="font-weight: 400;">Another video shows the masked woman screaming at children eating their lunches, zeroing in one little girl and screaming in her face as the children scream in terror.</p>

<p>Monroe County Sheriff Kevin Crook wrote on <a href="https://www.facebook.com/monroecosheriff/">Facebook</a>, “As a dad and as someone who has great compassion for those who can&#8217;t defend themselves, I admit it was very hard to watch these videos today; and my initial reaction was the same as most anyone else I would think&#8230; ‘They deserve to be charged.’ It made me sick at my stomach to think of the terror those kids were enduring. It still does. My heart and prayers go out to the parents who are dealing with these same emotions right now. We have a 17yo, a 13yo, and a 2yo in our home right now, so I get it, trust me.”</p>

<p>California Democrat Governor Gavin Newsom claimed on Tuesday that he skipped out of a global climate conference in Scotland because his kids &#8220;had an intervention&#8221; for him where they pressed him not to miss Halloween.</p>
<p>Newsom&#8217;s remarks come as skepticism has swirled for days about his whereabouts as he remained largely out of public view for the better part of two weeks.</p>
<p>&#8220;I was a pirate,&#8221; Newsom said. &#8220;But we all were pirates this year. And I had, was actually, you know, it&#8217;s interesting even asked that question, because it does beg some questions that have been asked, interestingly, to me, in the last few days, you know, I was, you know, it&#8217;s been a been a hell of a couple years for all of us, for each and every one of you, particularly parents. And I want to speak particularly to the parents out here, the fits and starts at schools, the stresses of balancing your responsibilities at work, and also your responsibilities at home. And I&#8217;d extend those responsibilities, particularly to fathers that may not be doing as much, let&#8217;s be honest, as the moms have been doing in the last few years in balancing the responsibilities at home and, you know, I&#8217;ve been on this damn treadmill we, you know, we&#8217;ve gone from crisis to crisis, from wildfires and extremes from droughts and social justice and unrest, obviously, with COVID had this recall, you may have read about. And right after that recall, we just jumped right back into it.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;We had all those bills, that three weeks of intensity around bill signing and I signed up to go to Europe and I was ready to go and have that dinner, [inaudible] this dinner with the family. And the kids literally, they kind of had an intervention, they said they couldn&#8217;t believe that I was gonna miss Halloween,&#8221; Newsom claimed. &#8220;And we got a five-year-old, my oldest is 12, four young kids. And I&#8217;m defending myself, I gotta go honey, this and that. And my wife was gonna go as well. And, you know, mom and dad missing Halloween, for them that&#8217;s worse than Christmas, missing Christmas.&#8221;</p>
<p>Newsom concluded, &#8220;And I woke up that next morning with something&#8217;s probably familiar to a lot of parents, that knot in your stomach that I had no damn choice. I had to cancel that trip. &#8230; And so not only did I get that costume, not only did I go trick or treating. I enjoyed the weekend. All four play soccer at the Boo Fest, anyone from Sacramento knows what the Boo Fest is, this big soccer tournament. And I was able to bring the kids to work.&#8221;</p>
<p>Newsom&#8217;s wife, Jennifer Siebel Newsom, <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/gavin-newsoms-wife-posts-deletes-tweet-as-governor-has-not-been-seen-by-public-for-nearly-2-weeks">posted and later deleted</a> a tweet this week in an apparent response to critics questioning Newsom&#8217;s whereabouts.</p>
<p>&#8220;It’s funny how certain folks can’t handle the truth,&#8221; she wrote. &#8220;When someone cancels something, maybe they’re just in the office working; maybe in their free time they’re at home with their family, at their kids’ sports matches, or dining out with their wife. Please stop hating and get a life. &#8221;</p>

<p>On Friday, former “Live PD” host Dan Abrams had former Seattle Police Chief Carmen Best on his NewsNation show to discuss her new book, “Black in Blue.”</p>
<p>During the segment, Abrams noted that he’s gotten heat for stating that the “vast majority of police officers” are good.</p>
<p>“I&#8217;ve spent a lot of time covering police officers, etc. I see how much time and effort the vast majority of police officers spend to do their jobs really well. And yet, there are a few bad players out there, and as you point out, those are the ones who should be held accountable,” Abrams said.</p>
<p>He added that there’s a segment of the population who want to “lump in” all the good officers with the bad, and who ask him how he can “defend the police?”</p>
<p>“That&#8217;s a real cultural problem in our society,” Abrams said.</p>
<p>Best later noted that speaking in terms of data, Abrams is correct: “… out of the hundreds and thousands of contacts made each year, most of them, the vast majority, go well …”</p>
<p>Abrams then spoke about a “maddening” issue he’s encountered living in Manhattan after his son decided to be a police officer for Halloween:</p>
<blockquote><p><em>I have people saying to me, “Well, are you nervous about your son going out as a police officer for Halloween?” And I&#8217;m like, “What are you talking about? Am I nervous about my son going out for Halloween as a police officer?” The fact that we&#8217;re at that point is just so frustrating to me, and maddening.</em></p></blockquote>
<p><iframe loading="lazy" title="YouTube video player" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/Uc3CV0zQ1ZM?start=900" width="720" height="385" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen"></iframe></p>
<p>According to a <a href="https://www.policeforum.org/workforcesurveyjune2021">survey</a> conducted in May by the Police Executive Research Forum (PERF), police departments across the nation appear to be experiencing heavier than usual resignation and retirement rates.</p>
<blockquote><p><em>Agencies reported an overall 18% increase in the resignation rate in 2020-21, compared to 2019-20 …</em></p>
<p><em>Among all responding police departments, there was a 45% increase in the retirement rate. (In small departments, a small number of retirements may result in a high percentage increase in the retirement rate. But even in the largest agencies, with 500 or more officers, the retirement rate increased by 27%.)</em></p></blockquote>
<p>Additionally, multiple police department surveys have reported low morale among staff.</p>
<p>In April, the Committee on Policing Reforms <a href="https://patch.com/massachusetts/brookline/survey-says-brookline-police-department-morale-all-time-low">revealed</a> that according to a survey of approximately 103 staff at the Brooklyn Police Department, “Eighty-eight respondents described the morale in the department as poor, 10 said it was okay, and just three said it was good or excellent.”</p>
<p>Partial transcript below:</p>
<blockquote><p><i>ABRAMS: I have said something many times, which I&#8217;ve gotten a lot of heat for, and you say it just more eloquently in your book, and it&#8217;s basically, you say that a small minority of bad actors draw most of the headlines when it comes to police. And yet, I hear again and again, people say to me, that&#8217;s just a copout. You&#8217;re just trying to defend the police. You&#8217;re just trying to protect them, etc. But I do think that&#8217;s true. I mean, I see, I&#8217;ve spent a lot of time covering police officers, etc. I see how much time and effort the vast majority of police officers spend to do their jobs really well. And yet, there are a few bad players out there, and as you point out, those are the ones who should be held accountable. There&#8217;s got to be a system whereby they should be held accountable. But these people who just want to sort of lump in the police and say, oh, you know, they&#8217;re bad. How could you “defend the police?” That&#8217;s a real cultural problem in our society.</i></p>
<p><i>BEST: Yeah, you bet it is. Society-wise, we tend to group people in groups and stereotype in certain ways. And we really need to work on breaking that. I can tell you that no one dislikes bad cops worse than the good cops, because it takes all of us down; all of our reputations suffer when people have aberrations or violate law or policy. So we certainly want to make sure that we have the appropriate level of discipline in those cases. But as you&#8217;ve noted, and as really the data shows, out of the hundreds and thousands of contacts made each year, most of them, the vast majority, go well, but when they go wrong, obviously, it&#8217;s really disturbing for people, and people point to that.</i></p>
<p><i>ABRAMS: You know, I&#8217;ll tell you, just in terms of this cultural moment we&#8217;re in, you know, when you live in Manhattan as I do, my son — and I haven&#8217;t disclosed this until now — my son is going to be for Halloween a police officer. He decided … he just decided he wanted to be a police officer, and so he got a police outfit, etc. And I have people saying to me, “Well, are you nervous about your son going out as a police officer for Halloween?” And I&#8217;m like, “What are you talking about? Am I nervous about my son going out for Halloween as a police officer?” The fact that we&#8217;re at that point is just so frustrating to me, and maddening. And I think that&#8217;s why something like your book, and you being out there publicly being able to talk about both racial reconciliation and supporting the police at the same time, is so important.</i></p></blockquote>

‘So Frustrating’: Abrams On People Asking If He’s ‘Nervous’ About Son Being A Cop For Halloween

Police

<p>A new Halloween-themed commercial for Twix candy bars that features a cross-dressing child had social media fuming on Wednesday.</p>
<p>In the ad, a young boy in a princess dress opens his front door to find a mysterious new nanny — a goth-looking witch — on his doorstep. When some neighborhood girls question why the boy is wearing a costume when it “isn’t Halloween yet,” he looks sad.</p>
<p>Immediately after, the pair visit a park where a bigger boy asks the cross-dressing child why he’s dressed “like a girl.” When the boy answers, “dressing like this makes me feel good,” the ostensible bully responds that he and his nanny “look weird.”</p>
<p>At that point, in a sequence that suggests violence against minors is a reasonable response to having a different point of view over transgender ideology, the nanny uses her magic power to call up a wind storm to blow the bigger boy away. The implication is that he may be gone forever.</p>

<p><script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script></p>
<p>The popular social media account <a href="https://twitter.com/libsoftiktok/status/1453225912015724549?s=20">Libs of Tiktok</a> shared the ad, immediately drawing outraged responses.</p>
<p>Best-selling author J.D. Vance, who is currently running for a Senate seat in Ohio, <a href="https://twitter.com/JDVance1/status/1453342279461113861?s=20">retweeted</a> the video, saying, “These people ruin everything.”</p>
<p>Chris Buskirk, editor of the conservative journal American Greatness, warned, “They want your children and they will stop at nothing to get them.”</p>
<p>Conservative pundit and blogger Samuel Sey <a href="https://twitter.com/SlowToWrite/status/1453387151945633792?s=20">noted</a>, “This ad supports two separate kinds of child abuse.”</p>
<p>Finally, Southern Baptist pastor and professor Denny Burk <a href="https://twitter.com/DennyBurk/status/1453403256957382656?s=20">tweeted</a>, “So the message is this. 1. Lie to children about how God made them. 2. Anyone who opposes this lie is by definition a villain. 3. It’s funny to destroy the people who oppose the lies. I don’t do boycotts, but this one is actually making me reconsider.”</p>
<p>Transgender propaganda has become more ubiquitous in corporate marketing in recent years.</p>
<p>As The Daily Wire previously reported, in 2019, razor company Gillette featured a dad teaching his daughter who believes she’s a boy how to shave her face.</p>
<p>“Growing up, I was always trying to figure out what kind of man I want to become and I’m still trying to figure out what kind that I want to become,” teen trans activist Samson Bonkeabantu Brown says in the video. The commercial closes with the company’s iconic tagline, made ironic by its new political agenda, “The best a man can get.”</p>
<p>Two years before, soap company Dove unveiled a new campaign, titled “Real Moms,” in which a man is numbered among the mothers.</p>
<p>The opening text of the ad states, “Moms are redefining what it means to be a ‘good mom.’”</p>
<p>The camera then cuts to a male-to-female trans person standing with a woman. He says of their son, “We are both his biological parents. You get people that are like, ‘What do you mean? You’re the mom?’ We’re like, ‘Yep. We’re both gonna be moms.’”</p>
