Not knowing anything about the story, i can believe sombody, through adrenaline not realizing they've been shot that much and not dying till a bit later. It's not always like the movies where they might as well be playing laser tag where you're down and out after one shot.

Yeah, therefore you should immediately shoot someone 12 times in the chest. The only way to prevent harm to the noble law officers is to make sure the mentally ill man with the pocket knife stops breathing for good.

Okay if you're gonna bring up German police as a shining example then you have to also mention that they also relatively recently shot and killed a naked mentally ill man with a knife in a public fountain. Plus if we're talking about Bavarian police, the fact that the guy only got shot in the leg is probably more a question of bad aim than anything else.

Heads up: the MPI for Molecular Cell Biology in Germany found out that two substances that naturally occur in certain fruit and Greek yogurt can counteract Parkinson's. So get ready for that to hit the usual channels and get twisted into BEAT BIG PHARMA BY EATING FRUIT ON THE BOTTOM. At least it's not that far off the mark.

SybilVimes posted:Doesn't that alone imply that you see that image as nothing but wank-material? (A) Yes, and (B) it was a joke, deliberately intended to imply just that. At least in my culture, "cute," when applied to an adult human, implies physical and sexual attractiveness. Maybe the connotations of the word are different for you. In case it's not clear, I interpret the caption as meaning "Do you think she's cute (i.e., attractive)? ITS REALLY A GUY HAW HAW U R GAY." And that's not cool for anybody. I'd better stop explaining before I become an Idiot on Social Media, unless it's already too late. CrowsNestMutineer has a new favorite as of 13:15 on Jul 31, 2014 |

If you are going to shoot, it's to kill, not to incapacitate. Like I said, it sucks that someone died. But leg shots/arm shots/warning shots are bullshit you see from movies.

The macro implies that using a gun to incapacitate suspects is "their job" which is the dumb part. Guns are for killing people. Also, leg shots can be deadly too. Just ask Sean Taylor.

police brutality is something of a big issue where i live in toronto right now, cuz around this time last year, a bunch of cops surrounded one kid sitting alone on a trolley with a knife, then shot blindly at him like 9 times without provocation. when they saw he was twitching on the floor of the vehicle, another cop rushed in to tase him and he died

NYPD has a thing for firing wildly into a crowd of innocent civilians: http://gothamist.com/2012/08/25/ray_kelly_9_empire_state_building_c.php The best part was, it was hard to find an article about that shooting, because NYPD has shot bystanders in time square multiple times: http://www.nytimes.com/2013/12/05/nyregion/unarmed-man-is-charged-with-wounding-bystanders-shot-by-police-near-times-square.html

I had a good, hearty laugh at American people saying if Obamacare went through they were moving to Canada, because they were trying to avoid socialism. We even got in on the joke, too, saying if we saw a Prius at the border they would be stopped and turned back

So somebody I vaguely know posted a lengthy but reasonable rant about how his district has been gerrymandered and his vote won't count for anything because his district is now overwhelmingly democratic. Some people lamented the current state of the U.S. political system, yadda yadda yadda. Then some dude whose Facebook middle name is "DJ TruSmoke" came in with this:quote:It's astonishing to see that political parties have been mutilated behind the scenes so much that it has been broken down to upper and lower class citizenry...speckling the other districts with incumbent wealthy and lumping the complete lower class into a demographic where they total only count for a couple votes electorially speaking. I'm ready to Execute Traitors in the name of the American people and on behalf of the constitution of the united states. circa 1776 quote:But you see it's all bullshit ...it doesn't matter if all the dems and all the gop vote or not...Our votes don't even count for poo poo..except to amuse the campaigners in a popularity poll. The assholes who hold the electoral college votes decide who makes it or not. Sounds an awful lot like the federal reserve...you the people believe the fed. Res. Is an entity of the united states government, but in fact is a privately owned and operated corporation run by offshore non-u.s. citizen conglomerate of banker cartel. And by believing the hype we have sold the next 100 generations into economic slavery....yes SLAVERY.  EDIT: I clicked on his profile and oh my god it's just a bunch of these    EDIT 2: He has now said that, "scalability wise" the minimum wage should be $54.00/hr. Fifty-four.
