or allowing a violent suspect to continue in their rage could endanger everyone even further. that's a judgment call that's different in every situation. what i'm saying it that taking away tasers and denying officers the ability to make that call is a stupid thing to do.
what you are proposing is that police should have to put their lives even further at risk to satisfy your unfounded fears that tasers could be lethal. cops are people with families at home, are you going to be the one to tell a police officers wife her husband has hepititis contracted from a bite while restraining a suspect, when a simple taser would have doen the job and kept everyone safe. Because that's the kind of shit that happens.
what you fail to take into account at every turn is the number of lives and injuries that DIDN'T happen because a taser was used.
so what your saying is instead of the easy way out of hostile situations, we should take the hard and long way out and let the situation drag on... fuck i'm glad you aren't a cop.
show me an example of this happening, INCLUDING full details.
because i've watched 100's of cop hater video posted on youtube and i'm yet to see one where the person got tased for no reason.
the most common reason is failing to compile with a lawful order. it must be something about the current generation where they think the police have no authority, which forces the police to FORCE them to compile in order to control the situation and maintain authority. this ultimate protects us as a community wether you like it or not.
don't you comprehend the difference between replacing guns and using tasers instead of guns in some situations? because that's what i posted above, learn to fucking read.
tasers are not "a replacement for guns", they are there so that police don't HAVE to use them in some situations. Guns were never going to be replaced by tasers, and no one in any police force is going to make that claim, since guns provide the lethal force and ultimately provide the deterrent that keeps our society safe.
And you people keep claiming tasers are used more often then guns. WELL NO SHIT SHERLOCK, obviously if you have a choice between lethal and non lethal, non lethal is going to be chosen in all but the most extreme situations. What you need to prove is wide spread abuse, citing a couple of unfortunate events in all the years tasers have been used is not a convincing argument.
I would say all of you need to take a ride in a hard suburb where cops risk theirs lives every day, and maybe we might less retarded cop hate on the internet.
even if the last 10 years were the hottest, which they have not been (1930's were hotter), you still don't present any solid case for it being man made. your area's hotter then usual weather is also no indication of weather on a global scale.
fuck off it is. you clearly have never seen or know fuck all about the slaughter production line.
NOTHING is wasted. the skin is used for leather, the head, hoofs, bones and other products not used for human consumption are turned into pet food. fuck even a cows gal stones are ground up and sold.
in comparision growing vegetables is VERY wasteful because a large portion of the crop is wasted due to pests and spoilage. it also requires MORE LAND then beef.
.. so this assholes logic is his traffic is better then mine? I pay just the same as he does for the service and as long as i use it inside the terms of my agreement he has no right to say anything.
"but I suspect this wild success is the exception, rather than the rule."
why, whats your logic behind that, because you give very good examples of WHY such technology races benifit us then proceed to try trash it based on nothing.
everytime man has been invovled in competition of this nature, he has produced better tech, and there's no reason to think we won't this time.
Ok you must be a paid schill if you think slashdotters are a fringe element, and that sueing grandma's and single mothers is the way to go. either that or you have rocks in your fucking head.
your right that the RIAA's actions have polarised the community - against them.
" The studios and labels made the mistake of making a land grab at the same time that new technology was threatening their traditional revenue models."
exactly right. they attempted to stamp out fair use by doing thigns like issuing take down notices over people putting copyrighted music as a sound track to their baby movies on youtube.
Slashdot Mirror
cops have plenty of paper work for everything alread
err, so because they choose to do a certain job, it should be more dangerous then it needs to be? what kind of fucked logic is that?

you have no clue kid. if a cop hits you with a baton i'll bet the only thing on your mind is running for you life.

i'm sure if your not too young, too old, have heart problems or asthma that's very comforting, asshole.
wrong. populations in many western countries have actually dropped. if it wasn't for migration many would be in decline.
the earths population is commonly estimated to peak at 20 billion with current trends.
even if the last 10 years were the hottest, which they have not been (1930's were hotter), you still don't present any solid case for it being man made. your area's hotter then usual weather is also no indication of weather on a global scale.

i think the point is that photon was going to bounce off earth anyway, so teh act of observation did nothing more then was going to happen anyway.

I dub you tard features, and from this day everyone on slashdot will know you have a brain powered by a hampster running in a wheel
... everytime a company settles like this.
No one should ahve to pay for covers on a song anyway. it's your own creation written by someone else.
oh wait, desktops are shit in a corperate environment and online/terminals shit on them from a great height.
this is about as much of a competitor to microsoft as a cockroach is a competitor to me
your right that the RIAA's actions have polarised the community - against them.
exactly right. they attempted to stamp out fair use by doing thigns like issuing take down notices over people putting copyrighted music as a sound track to their baby movies on youtube.
they think laws allowing $200,000 fines and 20 years in jail PER OFFENCE are extreme for downloading a britany spears song
they are outraged at John Doe mass sueing and extortion
they think sony root kits are illegal
they think DRM that forces you to make multiple purchases of the same thing is wrong.
they think RIAA companys which steal the creative rights from artists then claim to protect them are hypocritical
they are ANNOYED beyond believe with RIAA paid radio stations flogging crap music over and over
Do i have to continue or do you get the fucking point?
dude you got motherfucking owned, crawl away now before the GP gives you a 2nd hiding.
