If you consider the 911 call credible and some guy pops out of the house and his hand moves to his waistband, what are you going to do? Do you stand there and get shot?
You wait until you positively identify a weapon before using lethal force. If a police officer's reaction time is so bad that someone can grab an gun from their waistband and shoot them before the cop, who's weapon is already drawn!, can fire his own weapon, they probably shouldn't even be allowed to drive, much less be a cop. A cop's first duty is to ensure the safety of the public and yes, that includes the suspect as well. You run the risk of being shot when you put on the uniform. That's why they give you training and give you body armor. If you are afraid to take the risk, aren't willing to put the lives of everyone else before your own, don't sign up for the job.
Kind of. They're operating as expected; I'd place more of the blame on the institution of criminal justice which has created and maintained this approach to policing.
In other words: it's less the cops's fault as it is the legislature's, mayor's, and governor's.
No, it's the police's fault for fostering a militarized, "us vs them" approach. They encourage it because they want the Hummers, the surplus military weapons: they want to be "tacticool".
Police in the US have a looser ROE than soldiers patrolling the streets of Iraq did, and they were in a war zone. Like I've being saying for a long time, police need to stop being law enforcement officers and go back to being peace officers.
The DA who investigated the shooting by the officer in question:
"Bennett said he had to make a determination based on Kansas law and law handed down by the Supreme Court, which says that when determining if an officer acted reasonably, evidence has to be reviewed based on what the officer knew at the time of the shooting, not 20/20 hindsight, he said."
The cop certainly didn't know the victim was armed (since he wasn't) when he opened fire. That is the big problem with police these days. "I thought" or "I believed" has become enough justification and evidence for the use of lethal force, not "I knew". Police now put their safety before the safety of the public. If it had been a real hostage incident and the hostage taker had forced one of the hostages to answer the door the cop would have killed a hostage. Deadly force should not be used unless a civilian is in clear, imminent danger or the police have positively identified a weapon.
Picture this: A few days before the election, a new video has "Candidate A" speaking at a satanist convention, disparaging the flag, mom, and apple pie. Totally fake, but how can Candidate A fight back?
Too obviously and explicitly fake. The best way to do it is something small and subtle, enough to simply cause confusion that, if released a week or so before the election, is fresh enough in everyone's mid to sway independents and undecideds to your preferred candidate. Maybe the candidate doing/talking about doing drugs, or domestic violence, sexual assault, taking bribes, etc. Something that isn't huge but would take a while to investigate and repudiate. No amount of fake video will sway partisans on either side, but it doesn't take much to give those in the middle a little nudge.
And the US position on Crimea's right to self determination is exactly the opposite of the US position on Kosovo's right to self determination.
It's hardly "Self determination" when Russia buses in a bunch of Russian citizens and gives them the right to vote in the Crimea right before the election. Next you'll tell me the "separatists" in the Donbass just happened to find a bunch of Russian tanks and air defense systems lying around in barns.
To be really fair, Russia itself deserves some of the blame for those high losses considering the tactical decisions they made contributed to it. For example using infantry wave attacks on while on the offensive-and, especially early in the war, it was the default decision for commanders to order massive and useless counterattack while on the defensive too-or, in the example of Stalingrad, pulling thousands of factory workers off the lines, handing them rifles and submachine guns, and telling them to go hold off an attacking mechanized army.
I have a very rare last name, several hundred at most in the US with my exact spelling of my last name. I can literally count on one 1 hand the number of people with my last name living in my state. None of them have the same first name as my mom. Yet somehow a comment was left with her name and her address supporting net neutrality repeal, that she says she did not submit. How do you explain that?
Should obviously do what Tommy Lee Jones did. Use concrete highway barriers to build a wall held up by firetrucks and people to stop the lava, then use controlled demolition on a skyscraper to reroute the lava into the ocean. Doesn't anyone pay attention to history?
He's the head of the executive branch, which is the equivalent of a CEO. He absolutely has the power to ignore directives such as this. I'm not saying I think he's doing the right thing, but he can do it if he wants.
If he's the CEO, then the American public are the shareholders. His primary duty is still to look out for our interests over his.
Ironically enough, as I was reading this thread I received an email about opting in/out of emails due to GPDR. Gave me a nice chance to unsubscribe for a mailing list I didn't even care about or was even aware I was on.
They talked about tacking on tracking of their subscribers , both before and after the movie, but there was a big pushback. Basically, just like Facebook, the subscribers were intended to eventually be the product, not the customers. Movies wanted to sell analytical data to Hollywood, theater chains, restaurants, etc. They essentially wanted the "data of date night" to see, and eventually sell, what people do and where they go when they go see a movie. So subscribers might see ads for a restaurant before the movie or a bar afterwards to grab a drink. The fact that the primary owner of Moviepass is an analytics company really tells the end game.
Other presidents have tried to impose their will based on policy beliefs. Trump is dumping on Amazon because he doesn't like how the WSJ reports on him and both are owned by Besos. This is 100% ego.
But the vast majority of software that is in the Android store is ad supported/free. They should bring their software over to Android where it's easy to release two versions of any app; a free to try/ad supported version and a paid version without ads.
There are 2 main outcomes with having a free ad-supported version and a paid ad-free version. Outcome 1: the ads are tolerable and don't affect affect software performance, so no real need to upgrade to the paid version. Outcome 2: the ads are a pain in the ass or limit/reduce functionality of the software, so the user says "forget it" and moves on to something else.
If you want to send the kid to college to be a part of the future, else you're all but assuring them knee-capped employment possibilities. There's a higher expectation overall for parenting, especially for middle income Americans that plan this out. Uneducated folk in the lower income brackets however will still reproduce irresponsibly though.
Why college? Send them to trade school to become a welder, electrician, AMT, etc. With enough time in and skill, any of those jobs can lead to six-figure incomes without the debt load of a 4 year degree. This is an especially attractive option for children who have natural intelligence but are more mechanically inclined or like to tinker/build things as opposed to being book smart. Not everyone is built for college.
It's not really Youtube so much as it is the competition has simply been getting better younger. In the case of basketball you have national AAU tournaments allowing kids to play in a competitive environment year-round. This can also be seen in baseball with the increase in national tournaments, both metal and wood bat. The competition level is also improving because kids are simply getting bigger faster. Whether through better diets, increased knowledge of exercise and strength training, or simple evolution, the size level of kids is just more than it was even a few decades ago. Take football: a couple decades ago 6ft 250lbs would be considered big for an NFL lineman. Now you have high school kids well over 6 ft and pushing 300lbs, and they're strong and quick.
Those little carts are pushing small regional aircraft, maybe a small t tail plane like an old dc9 at the biggest. Anything bigger uses big diesel tugs that are built like tanks.
Yeah, it's way too early for us to assume we could detect life there- or engineer microbes to survive there, but I think a lot could be learned about early evolution, and perhaps some distant colonization of future worlds by observing.
Why even bother engineering? Just grab a couple different strains of extremophile bacteria from terrestrial locations with conditions that mirror what would be expected on Europa. One of those strains-or given how fast bacteria can replicate, one of it's offshoots-could have a decent shot at taking hold there.
âoeAll these worlds are yours except Europa. Attempt no landing there.â
Aren't they planning on submersible probes to send to Europa? If they fins a crack or fissure in the ice and go straight into the water you could argue that we technically havent landed there. I wonder if the aliens care about semantics?

No one. That's why they are shutting it down. The amount of users utilizing the TV app is probably too low to justify the expense of maintaining it.
