I'm Calling Fraud - Until It's Confirmed



This photo was posted on a friend's social media account and while it's interesting, something screamed out fake to me. See for yourself.

I say it's fake and here's why:

1) The position of this officer's arm is not one that would facilitate a full force swing that would be required to break glass. His arm is not even fully extended and his other arm is not being utilized.

2) Glass does not go flying on a car window like that. It is a matter of safety and it's required by law that windows on vehicles meet certain standards. Side and back windows have tempered glass.

Watch for yourself what glass does when it's hit with a bat and notice too this man is using BOTH arms.

I need to note that this is the windshield and it has laminated glass but, the point of this first video is to demonstrate how the glass in the front would behave.



Here's another video of a guy using a wrench on a rear window. This would be tempered glass.



Now, notice on this video you see the guy on only one side of the window and yet the entire window is damaged from a single blow. When a window like this is hit, you will have damage at the point of impact and you will see damage all around that point because entire window is absorbing the shock of the impact. Most large impacts will just leave the entire window collapsing.

Here's another video showing a guy using a small bat about the same size as what the officer in the picture has:



He's using this on a side window, which also has tempered glass and the window sustained no breaking whatsoever. The bat actually received the worst damage by splitting in two. Also take note of how he was holding the bat. It looks nothing similar to how the officer is standing.

3) There are three different types of camouflage that the officers are wearing, Now couple this with two different types of batons being used and again, it's not a complete giveaway but, surly it does look a bit weird. Especially when you consider the other problems with this photo.

I am told this comes from a video but have yet to see the link for the video. I am unable to confirm if this is real or not but, so far I am not impressed.

I am a huge skeptic of these memes that float around on the internet since the majority of them always end up being misleading or false. Propaganda indeed!

If you have any information on confirming this image, comment below! Until I can get some proof I'm calling fake. What are your thoughts?

A Look Back - William F. Buckley vs. Hugh Hefner

A debate in 1966 between Buckley and Hefner discussing the "Playboy philosophy" turns out to be quite intriguing.



Buckley does his best toward the end of the interview by pointing out the seemingly contradictory way in which Hefner instructs his bunnies to refrain from sexual relations with patrons and what Hefner advocates in general as it pertains to sexuality or sexual behavior.

What are your thoughts as you watch this debate and compare with the current world we live in? How much has changed? What do you feel has been positive vs. negative?
