Probably isreal themselves since they fund a large online PR army. Why has HN had a bunch of pro-Israel, and poor little isreal type of posts lately? Wouldn't be surprised if related. They need to cover up pegasus.
I'm not in California, but over here, the cops call the DA first to see if they will accept charges before making an arrest. In which case, it would not make sense to say crime is going down based solely on arrest statistics. Arrests and crime are not the same thing. What these statistics could really be indicating, since arrests are down but crime is up, is that accountability for crime is down.
I bought a brother laser printer also and have been using the demo cartridge that came with it for the past three years. It's still printing, and I've printed several books with it.
