"It's not an exaggeration to say that Lawrence Mabey, from Palmerston North, was one of a select group of airmen who helped to win World War II" Yes it fucking well is an exaggeration FFS - great story but the 'Hitler changed the pattern of bombing because of the bombing of Berlin' myth has been well and truly debunked, along with the fact he was the gunner on one bomber. Not taking away from the guy and his crew, and comrades. But stuff like this makes people not respect real history unless it is over the top sensationalised - not that a gunner (who was an ace - gunners rarely did anything but put fighters off their aim) then flew a damaged plane to land on his own after his crew had bailed in anyway needs to be sensationalised - cos it's fucking amazing!

Undercover Cops Posing As Drug Buyers Arrested By Undercover Cops Posing As Drug Dealers
IHLIHL
February 1, 2019A huge mistake led to police officers arresting each other. Undercover police went to >Detroit and posed as drug dealers. However, thanks to a mess up, another police group thought that they were real drug dealers and so they raided the house in what turned out to be one of the most embarrassing things ever seen in the department according to the Police chief (see video below).
The incident occurred when officers from the 12th precinct in Detroit went undercover with the purpose of pretending to be drug dealers so they could arrest buyers. Two buyers went to the house where the pretend drug dealing police officers were but they were actually police going undercover to arrest people selling drugs. They were from the 11th district of Detroit police. They began to search the place when they arrived and they were wearing body cams that captured the whole incident of the officers fighting and punching each other.
Incident Was Likened to Keystone Cops
It was said that the whole incident turned out to be something like you would see on the Keystone Cops silent films. Now the event has sparked an investigation. This is not the first time that something similar has happened. During the 80s, an incident occurred that saw two police officers killed.While it is understood that when going undercover only those that are immediately involved can know what is happening, it can bring about unwanted consequences and mistakes. It seems that in this case, the Detroit police kept the undercover operations too undercover as one department pretending to be drug buyers arrested the other pretending to be drug dealers.

As an undercover cop I guess it would please you that other cops don’t know you’re undercover. Why did they dept even let anyone know about this?
