I would argue that the police should be legally required to go to crime scenes if able, and if they are there should be legally required to make an honest attempt to stop the crime. Obviously the cops can't get to every crime scene in time, and obviously they can't always stop every crime, but they should be required to make the attempt. Otherwise what exactly are we paying them for? Might as well ditch the cops and just focus on clean-up and investigation afterwards.
The problem I see with community review of brutality complaints is that it would go the opposite way of internal reviews. Community members would likely go on witch hunts, insisting, no matter the circumstances, that the cop should have done something different. You can see it all the time watching the interviews after an event "Why didn't he just do X??????" because he had half a second to respond to situation with incomplete information, while you have complete information as well as knowledge of the result. If he had those he'd have done something different.
New RAR files made with the RAR5 format. I doubt it was a requirement, WinRAR could likely still use RAR4. Also the vast majority of compressed files I've encountered are.zip.
Yeah, that's not something normal people need. They require a fair amount of specialized software actually since their standards are pretty static from what I've seen.
Or if you just don't feel like having a ton of programs installed just for proprietary formats. I haven't run into anything that 7-zip couldn't open, so why would I bother installing anything else?
And if Hitler hadn't declared war there's a good chance the people would have forced our focus to Japan. Roosevelt likely would have tried to provoke Germany further, but the PEOPLE didn't want a war with Germany, so it's plausible that it could have been avoided.
I've heard it said repeatedly that Germany couldn't sustain Hitler's economic plans and if they didn't go to war there would have been an economic collapse soon after. That being said, such a collapse likely wouldn't have been permanent. An interesting thought experiment though.

AdBlock is actually doing that now, allowing vetted ads through.
Man, here in America we label the Republicans obstructionist and they wear the label like a badge of honor.
But...I've been told by Australians that their country is a shining beacon of democracy! How can things be bad if that's true?!

Indeed. Most people are safer now than they ever have been in their lives, the idea that we're living in a blood-soaked wasteland is pure propaganda.
The sheepdogs are always going to be more dangerous than the sheep.

And then ISIS/Al Qaeda roll in and resume plotting terrorist attacks against us.
Which worked so well in Iraq, I mean it's not like an international terrorist organization came out of our leaving there right?
Yeah, if we were bombing the hospital for 30 minutes then there would have been a LOT more casualties, but we gotta push that agenda.
Nope, Microsoft released a version for Windows called Windows 10 though.

It's free for personal use and there's people out there that haven't heard of 7-zip.
if you for some reason really hate WinRAR.

Can you explain the value of that information to the US government?
Re-read the previous post. He was making a general statement.
The media ignores complexities that don't go with the narrative they want to push. Complexities that match their narrative are eaten up.
Part of investigating crimes is detaining people involved.
Yep. Keep that in mind no matter what the story is.
The Hurricanes were primarily earmarked for anti-bomber operations IIRC, the Spitfires had priority for anti-fighter ops.

I doubt it would have been quick. They were very far behind and their best minds were gone or busy elsewhere.

Had the nukes not been present Hiroshima and Nagasaki would have been firebombed to similar, though less spectacular, effect.
