Strange News: Amazon is Snitching, Heists in LA, and "Mutant" Soldiers in Ukraine?

Amazon has been giving Ring videos to law enforcement, without the consent of the owners. Someone in LA stole millions' dollars worth of jewelry from a Brinks armored truck.

The West keeps calling these alleged supersoldiers 'mutants' -- problem is, that's not what the Russians said, at all. Tune in for all this and more in this week's Strange News.
