Tigers, lions and hyena's oh my aren't people, and aren't trained to deal with hostile situations. Cops are. And when said cops fuck up - like shooting at the first unarmed guy to come out the door within seconds when they were at distance and behind vehicles and ballistic shields - they should go to jail. For a longer sentence than the prank caller.
Being a cop isn't even in the top 20 most dangerous jobs in the USA, once you take out car accidents which don't have anything to do with them needing to get their guns off. Dumb, panicky shits shouldn't be allowed on the force in the first place, but need to be prosecuted for negligent homicide when they fuck up. As this cop did.
"... the fact is, free markets don't provide safety. Only regulation does that. You want safe food, you better have inspectors. You want safe water, you better have an EPA. You want a safe stock market, you better have the SEC. And you want safe airlines, you better regulate them, too."
When corporations like GM and DuPont are happy to go on letting dozens of people die when saving them would cost a few pennies on the profitable dollar (faulty ignitions and waste disposal) it's hard to contest the point.
And yet, not enough people want to do this job for peanuts
Fixed the corporatist speak for you. If there's a labor shortage, offer the labor more compensation and the "problem" will quickly take care of itself. This is just like all those "we have a nursing shortage" articles in local newspapers that miraculously never talk about hospitals and nursing homes offering more compensation to attract more employees.
The other problem is in the US, the previous administration stacked on so many regulations, requirements, and so on that the average person simply refuses to put up with it.
Corporatist whackjobbery.
Let's say you're going to be on for 10hrs/day, you pull into the dock and for whatever reason you spent 8hrs sitting there so you simply go to sleep. Well, under the new regulations that 8hrs sitting in the dock counts towards the time you're on the road.
Oh, the horror. You're required to be on your job for eight hours....and....it counts towards your work day!
between terminals but terminal to destination in heavy traffic and every changing delivery locations really needs a human
Why - local autonomous systems should be able to figure out local issues. Bridge over 28th street is down to two lanes for construction? Route around it. Driving down 19th street is fine for most of the day - except around 8am and 3:30pm when kids are being dropped off/picked up from the nearby elementary school. etc.
Carter Page first came on the FBI's radar in 2013, and was supposedly the subject of a FISA warrant in 2014
Why do people keep saying this as if its supposed to mean something. Sounds like cops who, after questionably targeting someone, bring up a completely irrelevant arrest record from years past as if it justifies the current actions. Was a dossier bought and paid for by one political candidate used to get a warrant to investigate someone on the opposing team, or wasn't it? Simple enough question.
Tell that to the people who (a) have been indicted, and (b) the people who have already pled guilty.
Or just read the part you yourself quoted, but bolding the part you skipped over:
Muller's investigation, like Ken Starr's before it, is a disgusting perversion of justice. Probable suspicion, initial investigation, probable cause, court proceedings is how this shit is supposed to work. None of the Russiagaters have come up with anything approaching probable suspicion, which means this is another open-ended writ of assistance where none of the indictments thus far have anything to do with Russiagate and Muller hasn't even bothered to examine the DNC servers.
Whining about a source without bothering to answer its claims or articulate why is always a sign you are lazily holding onto a bullshit opinion but don't want to defend it.
IRS targeting conservative groups is a pretty well known fact,
FACT: the IRS targeted "liberal" groups, targeted them for a longer period of time, and the only ones to be denied tax-exempt status were liberal. Swirl those facts around in your butthurt and smoke it.
If the memo were actually true and correct and its conclusions were founded in law instead of wishy-thinking, then blah blah blah
Was the Steele Dossier the basis for the FISA warrant (and much of the Russiagate investigation) or wasn't it? Lotsa table-pounders from both parties but this simple question is being avoided with a 20 foot pole.
Firing Mueller is a gross abuse and violation of the separation of powers.

You probably don't realize the entire conflict started with attacks by the bugs.
Yeah, it started with humans advancing on Bug territory. You probably think that settler conflicts with native americans started with the first attack on a settlement.
The rape allegation is a rape allegation. You appear to be very willing to throw accusations out if you like a guy.
You appear to be willfully obtuse, in that you're ignoring the entire point here: if this is about a rape allegation....let it be about a rape allegation and not a pretext for U.S. extradition. And again, even if you think Assange is bluffing about returning to Sweden in return for a promise not to be handed over to the U.S., such a guarantee would mean Ecuador would no longer have a reason to grant him asylum.
The Swedish Government can't actually give assurances against extradition without writing a new law. That's a judicial matter.
Countries deny extradition requests all the time, even for known terrorists. Sweden would have perfectly valid reasons in denying extradition to a country known for using the death penalty and torture.
Do you have two examples of Sweden allowing CIA kidnapping?
If you were wanted by a country known for using torture, kidnapping and throwing whistleblowers in prisons for decades, how many examples would you need of third party complicity?
You have provided no support for the idea that the US wants him in the first place.
That's like asking for evidence that Obama is black. You're really asking if the U.S. has interest in getting a man into custody who has published dirt and war crimes for multiple administrations. Really?
U.S. officials have openly joked about having him assassinated for years, Obama persecuted more whistleblowers than all previous presidents combined times two, and a sealed indictment has been an open secret for years.
As far as I can tell, Assange likely raped a woman
Based on the fact that neither woman made a rape allegation and Assange was cleared by Swedish investigators to leave the country?
I see no reason for him to fear torture.
After I mentioned how Chelsea Manning was tortured with solitary confinement for months on end? Then you're willfully blind. The real nail in the coffin of your imperialist apologia is the case of Gottfrid Svartholm. Sweden goes to great lengths to extract a Pirate Bay founder from a non-extradition country, then as soon as he lands in the country he's held incommunicado for completely separate charges for a completely separate country. Which means that interrogation and extradition were planned in advance. And was then deported to said country.
No dice. Steele's dossier relied on information from Russian interests. If it comes out that the Trump campaign paid for an Israeli spy (or Canadian or Australian, wherever) to dig up dirt on Hillary using Russian interests to do so, would the Democrats use that as evidence of Trump's colluding with Russia?
Of course they would. Just look at all the hysterics over 'Russian ads and articles' on social media.
Completely correct. That it was a primary election opponent who started sniffing around doesn't change the fact that the Hillary campaign paid for the Pissgate dossier. And then spent the next year and a half accusing Trump of colluding with foreign intelligence agents to swing a general election, in a classic case of Swiftboating.
Federal courts routinely rely on informants whose bias is not disclosed. The courts understand that informants are rarely disinterested parties, writes Orin Kerr, a law professor at USC who previously clerked for Supreme Court Justice Anthony Kennedy.
The problem with Kerr's article is that he flatly says it "depends on the case" and then rattles off a bunch of irrelevant examples of dismissed bias claims, such as a married couple ratting out a meth lab or a mother making sexual abuse allegations in a custody dispute with the father. He then goes on to name a case where bias did get a warrant thrown out - still not equivalent an example to Steele but not as bad as the other two:
United States v. Glover, 755 F.3d 811 (7th Cir. 2014), is an example of when an informant's bias has to be disclosed. In Glover, the basis for a warrant to search the defendant's home for drugs was a confidential informant who told the police that the defendant was a gang member and drug dealer who had a lot of guns in his house. The police verified that the defendant had past convictions and lived in the house, but otherwise the case for the warrant was based almost exclusively on the uncorroborated claims of the informant. In particular, the affidavit failed to say that the informant was himself a gang member with fourteen convictions who had lied to the police about his identity and been paid in the past for being an informant.
Fusion GPS was originally funded by the conservative website The Washington Free Beacon who was funded by a major Republican donor
Changes nothing.
This is all political theater to distract from Democratic Swiftboating - spending over a year accusing Trump of doing what Hillary was actually guilty of - colluding with foreign intelligence agents to dig up dirt to swing a general election.
FTFY. And not only did Dems engage in collusion, they paid for it.
It's true that after Trump won the primary, the WFB ceased to find the project, and a DNC lawyer then started funding the project, but it certainly started off as a conservative project. It's also the case that Steele was never told who was funding it, merely asked to research.
Which is interesting in the historical trivia sense, not so much in the Democrats-have-been-Swiftboating-for-18-months sense. Not only were Democrats guilty of what they've hysterically accused Trump of doing - colluding with foreign intelligence agents to swing a general election - they paid for it.
Since you skipped it the first time I'll just repeat myself:
Not a Trump supporter, dumbfuck. Anymore than your knowing Obama has a real Hawaiian birth certificate means you supported his bank bailouts or drone wars. It's called having a functional bullshit detector - look into it some time.
If you meet someone on the street who rabidly insists - without any evidence, kinda like you Russiagaters - that Trump assassinated both of the Kennedy brothers, and you say that sounds like nonsense, does that make you a "Trumpanzee"?
