I watch a lot of high speed police chase videos, kind of a guilty pleasure of mine. It’s fascinating stuff. One thing I’ve noticed is that while the State Troopers seem to have a higher level of training, when approaching a vehicle local PD will often just run up on all sides with guns out. So, you hear a lot of “watch the crossfire!” from the troopers. On the side of the road bystanders are rarely a hazard, but the same lack of positioning would surely be a hazard to bystanders in different circumstances. So yes i definitely I agree that police officers need more situational awareness training before they can use lethal force- especially in somewhere as packed as a subway station.

I think “Police shot innocent bystander in the head by accident” accurately captures the situation. The police were the ones who did it, but they didn’t do it on purpose.

Jsyk, Kelvin doesn’t use degrees, they just use Kelvin. Good to know so nerds won’t get mad at you :)

It isn’t stated that they knew it was closed when they arrived. They might have figured it out after the fact.

There’s a big difference between receiving money as a loan to do something the government wants (in this case, build electric vehicles) and begging the government for money because you’re broke. During the recession Ford was notable for being the only major American car company that didn’t ask for a bailout. Their American employee headcount fluctuates year to year but it’s up over the last decade btw.

Yes and so was Harris. I mean, prior to selecting Harris, Biden literally said he wanted a woman of color as his VP. If harris picks a white man as a running mate, that will likely be a diversity hire as well (although hopefully she doesn’t say she wants a white man as a running mate out loud so she at least has plausible deniability).

I’m not saying she’s unqualified, her credentials are plenty good enough for the job and much better than Trump or Vance. Its also not necessarily a bad thing to intentionally pick a running mate with a different upbringing than you, so you get exposed to different world views. But it’s not racist to say she’s a diversity hire when Biden literally said as much.

Whatever it is, it’s been around for at least 3 years.

Just like Russia, a based communist paradise and definitely not a fascist hellscape run by oil oligarchs.

Might have a blue light filter on your phone or something

Haha I’m committed to the truth but not that committed. Anyone can edit an article to put in whatever blurb they want, but it won’t stick for long if most of the community agrees with it and it has decent citations (none of which are in the screenshot). Also the text isn’t written professionally, “love to cuddle” is not language that would normally appear in a scientific wiki article.

That is true, thank you for explaining that to me. Although I read the dissent and what Sotomayor said was that the president would get their day in court to determine if those actions were constitutional, not that this ruling pre-approves them to do so. Meanwhile Roberts said these concerns are overblown… idk really, I don’t like the ruling, it basically feels like an expansion of qualified immunity to the president, which makes things more difficult for prosecuters but not impossible.

I’m not saying this fact about penguins isn’t true, I don’t know, but this isn’t a real wikipedia screenshot like it acts like it is. In fact, searching for “homosexuality is common in penguins” only returns results for transcriptions of this meme.

The big thing everyone is missing here is the ruling says the president cannot be prosecuted for actions that are constitutional. So this does not mean the end of democracy or whatever people are saying. The president can’t stay in office after his term expires. The president cannot order his political opponents killed- in fact, the Supreme Court issued a statement on that just this year.

Did you read the article? The scope of this ruling is pretty narrow.

That’s kind of a weird take. Centrists have not always done that (otherwise society would get steadily more conservative century after century) so you can’t just wave it away as meaningless. Instead I think liberals need to look at what is driving away centrists. (it’s immigration)

This is a really good and even-handed breakdown of what happened in Minneapolis after the George Floyd killing. Leftists can be as high minded as they like on the internet but when the police officers cut back on their patrols/traffic stops the overall reaction from the high crime communities that no longer had a strong police presence was not very positive. I think it is naive to think that you can gut police forces and crime won’t go up.

To be clear I am all for police REFORM and increased accountability but I don’t think less police is inherently better.

Statistically, yes exactly.

Nah the savings came from reduced olives. Olives are expensive, it costs more to buy an olive than to fly it on a plane.

Ass lovers in absolute shambles right now. I guess they’ll always have <3 (the heart symbol portrays an ass, or so I’ve heard)
