This might not be bad for the United States. The army needs money to run which they don't have unless they are going to move heroin.

The US will help them support the army. Like they do with Eqyipt and Pakistan.

Everyone can be bought unless they are reigious fanatics which the army is not.

Military in Turkey is attempting a coup

http://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-36809083

They have a history of launching coups the Turkish army but this looks very organized. This could get bloody the president has his supporters and he is not going to back down easily already reports of there being gun shots people ignoring the curfew. This has not been organized by the generals either apparently they have been taken hostage by the normal soldiers.

This is not good we need Turkey stable they are the barrier between Europe and the middle East they are who we count on to do deal with groups like ISIS. Turkey has been a mess lately they are struggling to deal with the kurds and there laws on the press are disgusting and they think they should be part of the EU very deluded. They can never be allowed to join the EU never.

Some reports are claiming the coup is over and others are saying that President Erdogan tried to claim asylum in Germany.

Oh, come on. Don't miss the opportunity to blame Obama!

turkeys president has flown into Istanbul claims he still runs the country and that the army who launched the coup are "terrorists"

i have no idea what is going on very confusing at the moment

coup has failed 2,839 soldiers have been arrested. 161 dead and over a 1000 injured. Some of the soldiers in Turkey have flown into Greece asking for asylum.

I dont know what they were thinking a coup in turkey in 2016

Over here in Rotterdam thousends of Turks took to the streets to demonstrate and cause trouble, some even assaulted a camera man of the national news agency. It is very plain to see now where their loyalty lies, a lot don't have any respect for our country, they suck it dry and send the money to Turkey.

EDIT: I'm not talking about all Turks btw, I grew up with a lot who are stand up guys. I'm talking about the people who are demonstrating and causing trouble.

Thanks for the updates, fellas.

Coup d'etat which failed . I'm thinking that the soldiers expected help from an outside group that never came.

Some pundits say Erdogan maybe behind all this himself, so he has a legitimate reason to limit the power of the military.
Personally I think that is a little too far fetched, that would be too difficult to pull off I reckon..

Looks like another Police Officer killing and shooting. This time in Baton Rouge. They are saying 3 dead and 7 shot.

Just say this headline. Sad senseless violence

"Violence is a disease, you don't cure it by spreading it to more people"

They think they can start a race war in this country but they can't. The guys doing this when they find them are most likely career criminals stupid ones. Because they getting chump change to do probsbly from old white guy anarchists. Find them pressure them they will give up their mothers rather then do life.

You know there is a sniper in Arizona who has killed 7 people. Have you heard anything about it?

If there's anything positive that could come from this insanity, it's increasingly going to kill sympathy for the Black Lives Matter frauds and their liberal white overlords on the Left.

Police union: Open carry of guns should be suspended at Republican convention in Cleveland

The head of the Cleveland police union on Sunday urged Ohio's governor to declare a state of emergency and to suspend laws allowing the open carrying of firearms during the Republican National Convention, after the shooting of six police officers in Louisiana.

"I don't care what the legal precedent is, I feel strongly that leadership needs to stand up and defend these police officers," Steve Loomis, the head of the police union, told Reuters in an interview at the union's headquarters on Sunday. The four-day convention is due to begin on Monday.

They better hope the cops don't start shooting back.

Probably what the shooter was thinking, too.

Dr. Frankenstein, meet your creation.

What a great message that sends for the party and candidate who claim they denounce gun control.

How do I put oak as a fan on my ignor list?

I feel like ranting. I sign on to a credit card. Before they put me on they ask me who was my high school friend. I did not have any friends from HS. So I can't answer. So I call the card get a representive. She is useless so I ask her did you go the beach. She tells me there is no beach where she lives. I say where do you live she says Kansas. I said no water there at all. She says just water parks.

I told her I don't like the beach I think I will get attack by a shark. Then I said you ever heard the song More. More then the great love I told her song won an academy award. Tell her to listen to it by Sergio Franki he did it great. Then I told her the movie it came from was one of the worst movies of all time Mondo Cani.

I said in it a kid was killed by a shark. As revenge they caught sharks and stuffed seaurgins down there throats then let it go to die a long painful death. I told if a shark ate me he would die a slow painful death.

Some are saying the coup was staged to strengthen power

CNN really is liberal. They're interviewing a convicted felon right now. Bernard Kerik.

Exactly SC.

Also, keep in mind that there must be one or more provision's in Ohio's constitution or laws to provide for any suspension of one or more constitutional provisions or laws.

Foot,

There is something brewing and about to boil over in this country for sure.There are elements of race, but I think it's bigger than that.

I think the ones cheering and rooting for a race war will ignore the fact that one of the cops killed in Baton Rouge was Black, and that last week in Michigan the courthouse shooting by the suspect, the shooter and victims were all White.

Regardless of color, these shootings are all examples of demonic behavior though. These are clear cut WRONG actions because these officers were randomly targeted and hit. Some of the examples of police brutality and shootings are a bit more complex, but at the end of the day a lot of them were EQUALLY as wrong. If a cop feels like his/her life is in danger or the general public is in danger, they have to use force often deadly force, but the past 3 years or so we've seen some examples of cops crossing the line and executing people on a whim.

Some people live in a fantasy world where they actually think that if you're not causing trouble or committing crime that cops will never bother you.Ha.Double Ha.

Billy and Dude,

I m reading a lot of stories that say that this WAS a staged coup. I didn't think it was possible at first, but stranger things have happened in history.

From what you're reading, was it a plot to identify who his enemies were or a straight up manufactured coup d'etat?

Reichstag Fire 2.0

I don't know everything about the different scenarios, but I wouldn't put anything past this tyrant and demagogue Erdogan.

3rd officer acquitted in Freddie Gray case. This one by a black judge, if I'm not mistaken. Hope Baltimore thinks that $6 million to his family was money well spent.
