Yes, it is also highlighting the frequency with which the "I/he/she did nothing wrong and was completely compliant" is a complete lie or the one last week where the newspaper columnist went on about having been harassed and yelled at only for the video to prove that the officer never even raised her voice.
Yes, video proves that officers sometimes make mistakes but we already knew that. It also proves that some officers are control freaks and corrupt but we already knew that as well.
What the ubiquity of video is proving is that the Black Lives Matter movement and other movements of its ilk are lying, big time.
Yeah, only idiots believe that that statement somehow resembles the vast majority of situations. slashrio probably still believes that the Ferguson dude had his hands up.
Correct, Those statistics are for the US as a whole. When you look at where most of these crimes happen, you realize that the vast majority of America is at least as safe as Europe.
" you would support the police officer killing a totally innocent person, because they didn't obey their orders, just so the officer wouldn't get even a slight cut."
No, I am not an idiot. I assume that anyone willing to attempt to cut a police officer is actually attempting to do more than just put a small scratch on the back of the officers hand. I am one of the reasonable folks who believe that such a person is attempting to kill or seriously wound (cause great bodily harm to) the police officer. We reasonable people also believe that people willing to do that to police officers are more than willing to do it to others as well.
We also reasonably ask people like you why it is that you prefer to let obviously violent people who have shown a desire to harm innocent people run around free in society.
Because I can. Why do i carry a hammer in my truck most of the time when i write computer software for a living? Because it is in the box with a bunch of other tools that get used occasionally and it is more convenient to always have them than to have to think about which ones to put in for every trip.
Why does anybody worry about people carrying who have bothered to obtain a permit to do so even if bothering is nothing more than filling out a form? Those people are what we call law-abiding. Harming people with a firearm is a crime. Law-abiding people, by definition, do not commit crimes. Outside of Stephen King and similar novels/movies, inanimate objects such as firearms exert no control over those who possess them so the simple act of carrying a gun is not going to cause a law-abiding to use it improperly.
Criminals, on the other hand, don't really care too much about the laws. Ask nearly any police officer about how much they worry about "shall issue" or "constitutional carry". An extremely small percentage will have an issue with it. Ask them why and they will most likely tell you that it is because they already know that criminals carry so why should they worry about the non-criminals.
Like the cd guy in New Orleans who had never been armed in his life but couldn't get a job because he had been convicted multiple times of crimes involving firearms and had one in his pocket.
Or the "hands up, don't shoot" dude in Missouri who did not, in fact, have his hands up.
Yes, repeating lies tends to make people believe them but that it never makes them the truth.
The statement was "young black person carrying a weapon in a high crime rate area". If young means under 21 then there was no innocence involved. Regardless of age, if the gun was out and not put down immediately when demanded by police officers then all but the most racist of us will gladly accept that the officer is correct in assuming that the gun is going to be used illegally (against the officer).
That is what this whole argument is about. Teenagers carrying guns are not innocent. By definition they are committing a crime. Perhaps it shouldn't be a crime but the politicians claiming to be on the side of the teenager of color are the ones so adamant about gun possession being a crime.
That was Chicago. It has been run nearly exclusively by the party wanting the US to be like wherever it is you live. I can name plenty of other large cities where the violent crime rate is lower than major European cities. Just to give a few examples, how many gun/bombing crimes happened in Salt Lake City, UT or Omaha, NE compared with London and Paris over the past few years.
and that thing that they "intrinsically carry" that "other people want" is not as easily handed over as money or meds, so they don't have that option. We, as a society, should be ashamed of ourselves from taking equalizing tools away from them.
"to someone who doesn't function normally". Well, the post was very clear in describing that the pretty girl at customer service knew how to handle cash and that the customer was sent to the pretty girl at customer service by another girl at the normal register.
Seems like we found an AC whose beauty is at most skin deep if we consider the ability to understand simple and plain English before responding in English to be functioning normally.
When a city changes a street name, the post office will continue to deliver mail addressed with the old street name for a period of time but will send out "change of address" notices to any senders subscribed for it. This happened to the street I grew up on just after I moved out for college. It really isn't a problem for deeds/mortgages and such because they describe the property as located in section x of township y and currently using the address of z. The address is simply acknowledged as a common but secondary (and only semi-official) identifier of the property. Sometimes deeds will use lot w of subdivision j.
"because regulators lack the information to decide on the right policies and objectives." They only lack that information because gathering that information would cost money and they don't want to spend money because they are not in the "mus spend money to make money" world. They are in the "we will tell you what you can have" world which is also, usually, the "don't complain or we jail or kill you" world.
It says that he thinks of tools as tools. I can design and write computer programs very well. At one point in time, I could do it in assembly for a certain brand. I have always disliked building and repairing my systems.
Does anyone care that a finish carpenter can't repair saws? No, they just care whether he builds nice cabinets.
Yeah, if they have the x dollars now and want the thing now many will take the lower cost thing and hope for the best and worry about what to do if and when it breaks when that happens, especially if getting the other x dollars saved up will take them 6 months to a year.
But there was a time when models with replaceable batteries were available and models without replaceable batteries were available and people did choose overwhelmingly to buy the models without replaceable batteries instead of last years model with replaceable batteries. That does tell companies something about replaceable batteries. Namely, the ability to replace the battery was a less important feature than the newer features on the new phone to most people.
Considering that Sam Colt died a year and a half before Henry Ford was born, i think we can safely assume that Ford probably borrowed his idea from Colt.
Because gluing the halves together helps the whole thing going bad when it slips out a pocket into a puddle of water or when I get caught in a downpour?

Oh California has no problem issuing carry permits, as long as you have enough money to bribe the sheriff, er pay the permitting fees.
Same here but I still carry one in my truck. Why? Mostly to make people like you shake your head and mutter crap about my stupidity.
My gun isn't going to harm anyone and anyone who says that they know I will harm someone with my gun is committing libel or slander.

You can pump my shit out of my septic tank if you want it that badly. I won't even complain as long as you do it properly.

Hong Kong seems to be roughly 25 x 40 miles. The contiguous USA is roughly 2800 x 1600 miles.
WTF are you talking about. Is this a weird way to attempt to explain that Hong Kong is now part of China instead of still separate?

Like when they passed a law that says I have to forget you exist if you ask me to? The EU has a habit of making fundamentally asinine laws.
