📹📸❌ The Pentagon has temporarily removed a vast collection of Afghanistan War footage that had previously been published to the Defence Visual Information Distribution Service.
The agency’s spokesman, John Kirby, explained that the collection, which included about 120,000 photos and roughly 17,000 videos, was scraped "out of an abundance of caution".
🗣 "We removed thousands of still imagery and videos that would show the faces or any other identifiable information about many of the Afghans that we have worked for and we have supported and who have supported us over the last 20 years", Kirby said.
The spokesman assured that the footage will be "absolutely" republished "at the right time" – without elaborating on the exact date.

📈 Republicans believe in Trump's 2024 success more than Democrats do in Biden’s, a poll has revealed.
The respondents were asked to answer the question: "Do you think Democrats/Republicans have a better chance of winning the presidency in 2024 if Joe Biden/Donald Trump is the party's nominee, or if someone else is the party's nominee?"

🇺🇸👮♀️ Minneapolis votes today in a referendum on whether to replace the police department with the Department of Public Safety, which would combine social and medical workers with peace officers to take a comprehensive public health approach to safety.
Supporters of the reform argue that the death of African-American man George Floyd at the hands of a white officer in Minneapolis last year discredited the police, and the institute needs an overhaul.
Opponents say that a surge in crime, in contrast, requires efforts to bolster law enforcement, not reductions.
