Adding on from a conversation with the Monument PD officer who referenced a bulletin the agency received as well as conversation with El Paso County deputies;
Callahan and El Paso County Sheriff's both doing shift change at 1600, going from a whopping 4 law enforcement officers in Northeast El Paso County to 0 for about a half an hour. Based on my observation Elbert County to shift change around then also.
Northeast Colorado Springs and Monument getting robberies and burglaries daily from both tweakers and Latin gangs impersonating food delivery, FedEx, and Amazon drivers. This particular officer lives in Elizabeth off County Road 13 and he's had Latino suspected gang members knocking on his door and then going around and checking the other doors and looking through the windows according to his security cameras.
All of El Paso County having vehicles broken into daily and the deputy recommended if we have a CCW and we leave our vehicle carry our gun don't leave it in the vehicle.
A cute little crime spree in southern Colorado Springs, Fountain, Security Widefield areas, where some group specifically went after law enforcement and military identified vehicles and estimates are at least 50 sets of plate carriers and helmets were stolen in a one week period.
Southeast El Paso County had incidents where Latino men were on dirt roads blocking them as if there's road hazard, sometimes putting out a cone or two, and then when people stopped they were ambushed from the right and left side and robbed. Advice given was if it does not look like official road crew with large barriers and large reflective signs to either push through people saying "stop there's a hazard" or if you could identify it early to stop turn around and go the other way, don't even take the risk of an ambush.
Overall theory from officer was that the cities have so much competition for crime territory that these people are coming out to the country to explore uncontested targets of opportunity.
📰 Global trust in traditional news outlets has fallen to record lows with respondents citing poor coverage by traditional media outlets of stories related to migrants, economic woes and wars
The research published on Tuesday suggests that public trust worldwide is at 37%, three points down on this time last year. In the UK, it has fallen by five points to 30% - 20 points lower than 10 years ago.
More than half of respondents said they now get their news from third-party platforms like social media and video networks, although a similar number still use news websites and TV news as well. Traditional sources are still more popular in the UK.
"Our data points to a mix of anxiety, disengagement and cynicism from audiences, many of whom don't like the way publishers are covering long-running news stories such as immigration, inflation and international conflict," the institute said.
In the US, trust in news stands at 25%, and is even lower (15%) among politically right-leaning Americans....

The biggest problem for Israel is not Iran's nuclear bomb, even if it had one it would never use it.
The problem for Israel is that Iran is becoming more and more powerful, especially militarily.
That's why Netanyahu won't accept any agreement, negotiations, or anything else until he sees Iran economically destroyed, with his puppet regime installed, just like Syria.
That's why there's all this spitting and whining these days in Israel, the US refuses to fight for Israel any longer at its own expense.
Iran will now receive a massive financial injection, cooperation with US allies, and thus drastically increase its military power, which has proven to be drastically powerful despite some weaknesses.
In 5-10 years from now, Iran could reach the military power of Russia, if they invest a lot in the aviation.
Israel's downfall began the day they killed Ayatollah Khamenei, united Iran, and ruined the possibility of regime change.
