Because if there are hostages, the hostage takers may very well start shooting people if they see a cop nosing around because they know the swat team will be next.
Sigh.
Having the SWAT team drive up and charge in blind is not standard police procedure. They reconnoiter and then negotiate.
"journalists" write inflammatory headlines and sheeple don't read the article. (If I didn't know better, I'd have sworn I was at theblaze.com!)
Down in the PR release, it clearly states: For existing AT&T customers, a 4G LTE-equipped GM vehicle can be added to a Mobile Share Plan for $10 per month.
the fact remains that wearing masks in public is illegal in many places.
And darned few people were upset that such ordinances were passed.
IMNSHO, the bottom line is that too few people want the actual responsibility of actually living in a free society. A large population, a too-low need for employment plus two undereducated, angry and rightly aggrieved minorities bears that out, I think.
Looking back through history, it was people who were willing to sacrifice their safety who gained and protected our freedoms.
Sadly, looking back through history, there have been just as many -- if not more -- willing to sacrifice their safety so as to illegally take other people's stuff.
the whole scope of the VPRI project (of which Nile has been of the intermediate results) is to reduce everything in common personal computing into mathematics.
Someone's too stupid to know that the phrase replace... with terminals means that there's no dropping off card decks at the dutch door, and no picking up printouts, because... they display on the terminal.
Then the people who don't deeply care about using computers properly won't use them except for boring business stuff, and then we can replace Windows with z/OS or OpenVMS and all those PCs with terminals.
That movie quote popped instantly to mind, but had read the specific quote about the mainland long before I watched the movie. Plus, European Russia isn't... Asia, and you invade it either.
OP writing And that a vastly superior military (that would be the US military) means nothing when headed by a weakling. pretty much indicates that he doesn't see the US being a threat to Russia.
Besides, the two cardinal rules of would-be military invaders are: (1) Do not invade the Chinese mainland. (2) Do not invade Russia.

stop telling little girls that they're pretty
A man my age telling girls that they're pretty is a quick way to get myself labeled a perv.
Besides, if a girl's not pretty, I wouldn't say she's pretty.
And I wouldn't know she's smart w/o spending some time with her, and that's just as creepy.

Then losers like you will whine about how "When seconds count, police are just minutes away."
And then cowards will reply, "Those who desire to give up freedom in order to gain security will not have, nor do they deserve, either one."
If it's something like a bomb threat of a hostage taking with weapons you don't really have much choice. It's clear the area ASAP.
Just because you want to charge in with guns blazing doesn't mean that I don't want to peek around a bit first.
Why????
People don't call in a SWAT saying. "I''m having bad day and I'm slowly filling my house with water till I drown.
No, but they do call in pranks. Or are mistaken. If you don't believe me, google "child porn wrong house".
I stand contrite and corrected.
Now I know I'm not reading theblaze.com... ;)
Send out the SWAT team, but do a smidgen of reconnaissance before clearing the area and bashing down the doors.
This is what happens when ...

Doesn't appear to be.
First, the world has enough "web designers".
Gah! The very first thing I thought when seeing the summary was, What ever happened to Algorithms + Data Structures = Programs ?
I know the Philippines are poor, but this is ridiculous!

It can be done, it should be done.
By whom? The people who voted in the big spenders?
Looking back through history, it was people who were willing to sacrifice their safety who gained and protected our freedoms.
Sadly, looking back through history, there have been just as many -- if not more -- willing to sacrifice their safety so as to illegally take other people's stuff.
and yet when you attempt to thwart their efforts at tracking you by doing something as simple as wearing a mask, it's illegal?
First do research as to why wearing masks is illegal in many US states, and then spout your opinions.

Bwahahahahahahahahaha.
I have wondered for awhile if ...

Toss in not much land left to conquer, and lowered birthrates + concomitant increase in fear of losing The One Child.
bureaucracy has not yet quite managed to strangle large undertakings.
Why did you add not yet? It contradicts the rest of your argument.
What a heaping crap-load of nonsense.
is that while Math majors know Shakespeare, English majors do not know Euclid.
(This is not originally my idea.)
No, actually, they don't. In CA labor law, it's illegal to fire someone for donating to a political cause.
So what pure-as-the-driven-snow browser did you install? Epiphany? Links2? Konq?
to submit jobs and get back printouts.

never get involved in a land war in Asia.

You must be joking right?
Joking about what? Did you actually *read* the post you're bitching about?
