"I am quite troubled by this trend" *opens fire randomly* Aliquid posted:What happened to four suspects shooting from four separate angles? That's what I went to sleep believing at like 2am. They're still investigating, but at this point it seems like those were just rumors. The gunshots echoing through the streets could have started them.

I know the statistics are important and sometimes 95% of the story, but they go out the window when police officers are killed in this land.

 I hope the highway survived.Aliquid posted:What happened to four suspects shooting from four separate angles? That's what I went to sleep believing at like 2am. At no point was their official confirmation of 4 shooters, remember that reporting during ongoing events is very very bad. The police did officially say 2 snipers at one point, but whether that was accurate remains to be seen.

WoodrowSkillson posted:Civilian oversight boards, Increased funding for training, more police, return of beat/community based policing, better response time for backup so officers can non lethally handle dudes with knives/bats/rakes. Yeah this and other steps imposed by the DOJ on cities has proven to lessen the number of unarmed black deaths. Its a crime that not every jurisidcition is not implementing as we speak.

Bullfrog posted:"I am quite troubled by this trend" *opens fire randomly* I'm troubled by the trend of vague take aways about how feelings towards blacks, police and BLM and how it caused people to shoot up stuff without saying why they were troubled. Racist white people get just as mad about black people getting killed, but just on the police's side.

I had no idea that police started using armed ground-based drones. I knew about their robots for years, but never knew they carried payload. At least they aren't contemplating bombing from the air any longer.

exploding mummy posted:I'm not sure if anyone said what happened to the other 3. No part of that is confirmed by any agency. There were reports of a woman being arrested, and reports of 2 people speeding off from downtown, but we literally don't know: 1. If any part of that is true whatsoever 2. If those people were actually being questioned because of this incident or because of unrelated things 3. If those people actually had anything to do with it at all Literally what we know: 1. Police were initially looking for two snipers 2. They holed one guy up in a parking deck, tried to negotiate with him 3. They blew him up with a robot 4. They were looking for an unrelated man who was protesting with a gun 5. That guy already turned himself in and then was released 6. Police are discussing looking for collaborators - note that this may or may not mean another gunman

theflyingorc posted:The shooter was angry at Black Lives Matter? Oddly enough, the bit where the system has totally failed U.S. veterans at every single turn (including, oh, mental health?) may be relevant in some small way? It's basically a whole, new, hosed-up example of intersectionality. ps: Oakland police paint image posted a ways back - they aren't exactly the most trusted police force in America right now, what with the racist texting, multiple fired police chiefs, and the thing where a whole herd of officers have been loving an underage prostitute over at least the past year.

The whole point of lovely infractions like this is to pull people over, run their name for warrants, and possibly search their car/them for drugs. The cops do not give a poo poo about the tail light. It's about sticking people in jail as much as possible, not a traffic safety issue.

At least they aren't contemplating bombing from the air any longer. The way bombs are diffused is they blow them up with a smaller bomb so this isn't that far out of the ordinary for a bomb robot.

The cops do not give a poo poo about the tail light. It's about sticking people in jail as much as possible, not a traffic safety issue. Yeah, one thing learned from watching Cops for the past two dozen years is that those stops are all pretexts. They either saw them leave a "drug area" or recognize the driver as someone they've arrested before. The closest it gets to traffic safety is when they're drunk driving and swerving all over, but that doesn't require blaming a taillight. duz fucked around with this message at 20:00 on Jul 8, 2016 |

At least they aren't contemplating bombing from the air any longer. I'm not sure exactly what was used but remote controlled bomb-disposal robots have been used for at least 20-30 years at this point. They're essentially just a robotic arm and a camera on treads. The explosive charges used are relatively small and meant to demolish or detonate suspected bombs safely. It's not some kill-bot with a laser strapped on it's back, constantly seeking input and dancing to 80's saxophone music.
