Man Picks Up And Hurls Away Rabid Bobcat In Wild Viral Footage
and pulls out a gun, who has a gun just handy in their pocket? 12 seconds in you see the "bobcat" launch onto the woman's back. I wonder if it was after the animal she had in the pet carrier

A black grandfather was punched and kicked by white police officers after suffering an epileptic seizure while walking his autistic grandson to school, his family says.
A female bystander captured footage of the Thursday morning incident in Minden, Louisiana, which saw five cops - four of them white, one black - gather around Robby Bailey, 53.
Bailey was already on the ground by the time the woman and another bystander began filming, with one of the white cops seen kicking him, and another filmed punching him.

At one point an officer yells 'stop resisting!' while Bailey's grandson, who family said is autistic, watches helplessly a few feet away.

The brown bear thought he'd struck gold: an open door, an empty kitchen and a fridge stocked with food.
The shaggy burglar took his time, even stopping for a drink from a fancy water feature on his stroll into the Pasadena home.
Little did he know what awaited him: The wrath of Mei Mei and Squirt.
The two tiny terriers rose to the moment as if their lives, and kibble, depended on it.
First Mei Mei and then Squirt slid their little furry souls across the kitchen tiles, launching themselves up the garden steps, bombarding the beast with barks until he fled. The young brown bear was so shaken by the might of the doggy duo he peed on the steps as he made his leave.

Pfizer CEO Albert Bourla said people will “likely” need a third dose of a Covid-19 vaccine within 12 months of getting fully vaccinated. His comments were made public Thursday but were taped April 1.
Bourla said it’s possible people will need to get vaccinated against the coronavirus annually.
“We need to see what would be the sequence, and for how often we need to do that, that remains to be seen,” he told CNBC’s Bertha Coombs during an event with CVS Health. “A likely scenario is that there will be likely a need for a third dose, somewhere between six and 12 months and then from there, there will be an annual revaccination, but all of that needs to be confirmed. And again, the variants will play a key role.”
“It is extremely important to suppress the pool of people that can be susceptible to the virus,” Bourla said.
