Last Updated: 22nd March, 2021 10:39 IST On the Facebook group, many officers criticized other police officers or chiefs who supported Black Lives Matter protestors, who they called "terrorists," "racist" or "thugs."

On the Facebook group, many officers criticized other police officers or chiefs who supported Black Lives Matter protestors, who they called "terrorists," "racist" or "thugs." McQuillan is currently running for a vacant magisterial district judge post. McQuillan posted an article in June 2017 about a civil settlement being reached in the police shooting death of Michael Brown in Ferguson, Missouri. He sarcastically remarked on how the amount of the award was determined, writing, "future earnings? lol What about Ofc Wilson? What about his lost earnings? Joke." Several officers replied that the earnings would have derived from crimes or welfare checks and one posted the theme song from "The Jeffersons."

This article originally appeared in the June/July 2016 issue of Musky Hunter. To see more classic articles like this, subscribe to the Musky Hunter Digital Collection: https://simplecirc.com/subscribe/musky-hunter-collection By Steve Heiting, Managing Editor We knew the musky was there; after all, it had showed itself for three consecutive days. A thick patch of green cabbage along the shoreline was its haunt, and four times it had deeply followed a bucktail before turning away at boatside. Now a cold mist was falling, and the wind had switched around to the north — not the conditions you would expect a big musky to bite, especially a fish whose interest had previously been no better than lukewarm. But you can’t catch a musky if you don’t try for it, and since we were in the neighborhood we swung the boat over to the shoreline she called home. Rather than snap on a bucktail, I reached into my lure storage and grabbed a Magnum ShallowRaider, figuring its big profile and wobble were sure to get noticed. And, the lure would run four or five feet deeper than the bucktails the musky had followed previously, making it something she could eat without coming up to the…

YouTube recently announced that taxes of between 0% to 30% will be deducted from the US earnings of creators living outside the country. This is applicable for creators under the YouTube Partner Programme, which requires creators to have more than 1,000 subscribers and more than 4,000 valid public watch hours in the last 12 months. This will mean that creators in Singapore and Malaysia, for instance, are required to pay the full 30% since both countries do not have tax treaties with the US. YouTube's parent company Google previously explained that it has a responsibility under Chapter 3 of the US Internal Revenue Code to collect tax info from all monetising creators outside of the country and withhold taxes in certain instances when they earn income from viewers in the US. These are earnings from viewers in the US through ad views, YouTube Premium, Super Chat, Super Stickers and Channel Memberships. Nonetheless, YouTube content creators who MARKETING-INTERACTIVE spoke don't seem to be rattled. Singaporean YouTube content creator and CEO of Titan Digital Media JianHao Tan (pictured left) said for the past few years, the company has paid tax for its total YouTube ad revenue income - hence this will be a slight…
