The Gish Gallop method, in lawsuit form. That's adorable.

quote:The civil rights complaint also said that officers “are now being brought in to headquarters like criminal suspects and subjected to intimidating, non-consensual recorded interviews for conduct that was widely accepted as effective and lawful policing just a few months ago.” This is loving fantastic news if it is actually true. Now if only those interviews would start resulting in "intimidating, non-consensual punishment".

A Bag of Milk posted:Seattle police officers sue to not have their use of force restricted, claiming use-of-force policies restrict their Constitutional right to be violent. Yup. Basically Seattle PD was so bad that it attracted DOJ attention similar to Oakland PD.

If police cant beat and murder people pretty soon no one will be able to beat and murder people! (The fact that they used "evidence" that they write less jay-walking tickets now as "proof" that they are "afraid" to do their "jobs" ... lol.)

You can read the whole lawsuit here: http://media.cmgdigital.com/shared/news/documents/2014/05/28/Anti-Consent_Decree_Lawsuit.pdf It also makes the argument that the DOJ change to use of force rules put helpless citizens at risk

Welp, Balmer bought the LA Clippers for a cool 2 billion. I guess we're getting a basketball team again?

I want to see ranchers, farmers, and fisherman petition for the right to kill people since they have actually dangerous jobs.

Seattle isn't getting the Clippers, LA is a bigger basketball market and the Clippers are a feel good story right now (the team itself, not their ownership situation). If anything Ballmer would use this opportunity to smooze with the other owners and try to convince them that Seattle deserves a team, but that's also a pipe dream.

OKC isn't getting the Sonics, Seattle is a bigger basketball market.... If anything Bennett would use this opportunity to smooze with the other owners and try to convince them that OKC deserves a team, but that's also a pipe dream. PS gently caress the NBA.

Ballmer and NBA teams can please remain outside of Cascadia from now on. Both concepts are most welcome to me.

I was thinking it would be wrong to steal a team from a city like OKC stole from us, but LA has two teams, it can afford to lose one.

A giant bald man with an anger management problem tossing (foam) chairs in the general direction of people that look at him funny would make for a hilarious mascot. Too bad he'd be mistaken for a coach.

I've been to a few Storm games, it's the same as going to a Sonics game was. If you like one I don't understand why you wouldn't like the other. I haven't been to a Reign game yet though.

So reading that Colorado is making $19 million+ a month from marijuana sales, what's the hold up with Washington? I'm not busting down the door of the shops waiting to get in, but am curious weren't we supposed to have stores open by the summer?
