British street artist Banksy has brought a somber Christmas spirit to a hotel he founded in the West Bank town of Bethlehem, with a nativity scene evoking the Palestinian-Israeli conflict, Reuters reports. Dubbed “Scar of Bethlehem”, the display features a miniature Jesus, Mary and Joseph under a rendition of Israel’s concrete West Bank barrier punctured by bullet holes, the largest of which resembles a star over the manger. It is located in The Walled Off Hotel, which abuts the real barrier, and which the secretive Banksy opened in 2017. “Christmas (is) known (for) the Star of Bethlehem, that led people to the birthplace of Jesus,” said hotel manager Wisam Salsa. “You see there is a scar, there is a hole on the wall that marks the wall and the life in Bethlehem how it is today.”

(WARNING 21+) Long Beach police released on Friday some security and body camera video from a shooting at Bottoms Up Tavern on Oct. 23 that left two men dead, including the suspected attacker. Police said an officer was on patrol on Oct. 23 at about 12:20 a.m. near Bottom’s Up when people flagged him down saying a man in a Lakers jersey was inside the bar shooting. While there, the officer heard more shots from inside. Kinney arrived at the bar at about 9:05 p.m., according to police. Three hours later, he was standing inside near the bar just before 12:20 a.m. before he pulled out a gun and held it to a man’s head, the footage shows. The man pushed him away and Kinney shot multiple times at his head and shoulder area. The man fell down over a tall counter, sustaining a non-life threatening gunshot wound to his upper body, according to police... 🔫👮🏻‍♂️ #shooting

Witnesses said the bar was busy at the time with a birthday party and the Lakers game on earlier that night. After the first several shots, the video shows employees running through a door behind the bar and patrons ducking behind pool tables before making a run for the front door. The gunman then fired more shots, hitting and killing a bar-back, 44-year-old Manuel Marquez. Body-camera video then shows people outside pointing a police officer to the bar and describing the suspect to him. When the audio turns on, the officer is heard calling in the incident on his radio. Two shots are then heard coming from inside the bar. Within 10 seconds, the officer who was standing in the street looking into the front door of the building, pointed his gun through the door and shot at the suspect, who appeared to be standing behind a bar in a yellow shirt. Police said that the video showed the suspect pointing his gun towards more people in the bar. The body camera video is blurry, but surveillance video from inside shows Kinney behind the bar pointing a gun to his right. The video shows what appears to be one gunshot coming from a different person and Kinney responding with a shot before being hit by the police officer. Police previously said it appears a customer tried to intervene by shooting their own weapon at Kinney before police got to the scene, but the department did not include clear footage of that in the video released this week. After the shooting, Kinney’s wife Patricia said she had no idea why he would shoot anyone. A 30-year Disneyland employee, she knew him as “a wonderful man, husband, father and grandfather.”

The Seattle Police Officer’s Guild has reviewed the video involving our officers handling a recent protest in downtown Seattle. The officers involved did a remarkable job in a very tense and difficult situation. The officers were dealing with a group of individuals who wear masks at protests to disguise their identities and have a long history of violent actions. The officers, who were understaffed, acted with courage, restraint and bravery while enforcing the law. The officer’s actions kept a volatile situation from getting out of hand and in so doing protected the public. SPOG is disappointed that the matter was referred to the Office of Police Accountability for review. The OPA is charged with investigating serious acts of misconduct. The officers involved in this incident did not engage in any misconduct whatsoever.👮🏻‍♂️

Five people have been sentenced to death over the murder of journalist Jamal Khashoggi in October 2018, Saudi Arabia announced today. The five men 'directly took part in the killing' at the Saudi consulate in Istanbul, the kingdom's public prosecutor said. A further three people were jailed, but former royal adviser Saud al-Qahtani - a close aide of crown prince Mohammed bin Salman - was not charged. The trials were held in near-secrecy and today's sentences sparked immediate claims of a cover-up to protect the prince, who denies involvement in the killing. UN investigator Agnes Callamard, who wrote a report setting out 'credible evidence' of Prince Mohammed's involvement, today labelled the Saudi inquiry a 'travesty'.

South Carolina Highway Patrol tweeted footage of the damaged Cobra attack. The military aircraft, named Annie, had been left in a parking lot in Columbia. Police say it was hit in the early hours of December 14 by Thomas Anderson, 37. He 'thought he was on the expressway by the airport not a parking lot', cops said. The helicopter is used by a non profit started by retired military leaders in 1999. 'I cried when I heard about it', Purple Heart recipient Stephen Seymour said.
