    So you're concern is that you won't be able to get away with your shit?

    And it's not just abuse. It's process, it's evidence, it mean less relying on the faulty brain, it means more accuracy.
    It is an opportunity to get better enforcement over all.
    It's also an opportunity for real world implication of policy changes to be seen. Good or bad.

    I mean, there was what? 20 police standing in a circle around him? The police beating him were right next to him. they could have just taken the gun away.

    trial, defense, and evidence are different then a bus ride.

    You have no recourse with the bus. When you're defense attorney starts asking about the recording, and why it's missing, it will be treated like any other piece of evidences that goes missing.

    I think:
      "any police action which doesn't have the corresponding video will result in no charges being brought against the accused."

    The police force will deal with that through normal channels now in place.

    Plus, if you bring it up in court, the officer is going to need a good reason, and a history of it happening will lead to a law suit.

    4 isn't a stretch. Something that was very clear with the 3 days of empty skies following 9/11
    Also, increase in temperature, a pretty big one.

    But, yes. Airplane tickets are too cheap. You want nice comfortable flights with accommodating staff and descent food? stop trying to weasel the cheapest ticket and think about whats going on.

    You are put into a tube, hurtle through the air like some god riding a magic carpet, and then land thousands of miles away in a few short hours.
    Pay the extra 50 bucks.

    How simple minded.

    "People just don't want to do it"

    "Too much time away"

    "You are treated poorly"

    There are many reasons, and contrary to what some people in the media have been spoon feeding you that money is the only thing that motivates anything.

    SIgh..

    "killing a US Ambassador and dragging his body through the streets is a massive incident."
    yes it is. It's so important you should get some facts straight.

    "t. The fact that he requested additional support and was refused"
    the request was for a different embassy.

    " The fact that the same people who should have gotten him more security lied about"
    which has been shown to be wrong over and over again. Ever wonder why Romney didn't harp on about it? Becasue Obama didn't lie.

    " And this event isn't worth discussing?"
    not with people who can't even get the most basic facts about it correct. i.e. YOU.

    "The fact that the Obama admin lied to the American people about what happened"
    it's clearly documented that isn't true.

    of right, I forgot actual facts are 'liberal'.

    "If this had been under Bush the mainstream media would be on his ass 24x7."
    Nope. Extract FOX News fro the equation, and the 'media' give pretty equal treatment to both sides.

    Fox has skewed things so much, the rational discourse seem to be 'radically liberal'.

    There is no liberal media. The only people who say that are people irritated when the media presents actual facts they don't like.
