What has always bugged me about Star Wars, and most any other similar setting, is the total lack of flak cannons. When going up against small targets in 3D, you want weapons that hit an area, not precise pinpoint weapons.
Except in the one instance where a major character is hit. Who then receives no medical attention, continues fighting, albeit at reduced effectiveness, and makes a complete recovery.
Because ISPs have fought to avoid being classified as common carriers. Even going so far as to get legislation passed to protect them, specifically, the safe-harbor provision of the DMCA. It seems that in this case at least, that wasn't enough.
I would, but I have no idea what specific situation was being referenced. The only similar incident I was able to find was one where the cops fired 84 times and missed 83 of them.
Two kids with skateboards are a lethal threat to a single officer. Non-lethal weapons generally have major disadvantages against multiple opponents. If a cop knows what they are going to face ahead of time they can have the necessary tools ready, but if they knew that, they would be able to prevent crimes before they happened.

Firing a shotgun with birdshot into the air is fairly safe.
Less worried about shooting it down accurately than about trying to shoot it down inaccurately.
They aren't objecting to being filmed, they're objecting to people trying to get them to make a mistake on camera.
The problem isn't that they're being filmed, its that people are trying to get them to do their job incorrectly.
That's 675 people that would have leukemia whether they were part of the cleanup or not.
Whether he deserves the payout is a different issue from how the media should cover it.

Why Americans went to the moon? to prove that they were better at building ICBMs than Russians.

Just because they hit the guy that doesn't mean he wasn't still a threat.

Many of the people who get shot are shot because tasers aren't working due to them being so high they can't even feel it.
