From Time

quote:

Former Vice President Joe Biden is launching a new initiative to address issues facing American workers, ranging from education to health care to retirement.

Biden said Monday that the Biden Institute at the University of Delaware is seeking ways to “transform” the American educational system so that it reaches people early, provides ample opportunity in a way that’s affordable, and gives people a chance to train and retrain for future jobs.

Biden’s initiative will also look for solutions for groups that are most acutely impacted by changes to the job market, as well as protections for workplace benefits and civil rights.

“Our children and grandchildren deserve the promise we’ve had: the skills to get ahead, the chance to earn a paycheck, and a steady job that rewards hard work,” Biden wrote. “And here’s one thing I know for sure: it is within our power to provide the future they deserve.”

The former vice president and potential 2020 presidential contender is kicking off his new initiative by speaking to CEOs from across the country in Washington and hosting a panel discussion for leaders across business, labor, non-profit organizations, and government in Delaware.

Biden’s new effort comes amid a larger push by the Democratic Party to focus on the needs of American workers. Many observers have said that Democrats lost the 2016 election in part because they failed to adequately address middle class Americans’ economic worries. For their part, Democrats said in July that they were looking to spend the next several months crafting policies that would increase pay, reduce expenses, and “provide workers with the tools they need for the 21st-century economy.”

There was that video a few months back in Baltimore I think with a cop getting the shotgun out of the trunk (what), burning off four rounds, and then throwing it into the street and peeking over their car off and on at the person in question dual wielding loving Hi Points on a bus.

Not sure if it was bean bag or buckshot but still I thought cruisers had long guns next to the driver, not tucked away in the trunk.

If we can't stop police shooting people, and we can't stop police getting military equipment, we should give them all 203s with the nonlethal Dildo of Doom rounds. Probably* won't kill anybody and the name is funny.

*probability not guaranteed**

**guarantee not guaranteed

There will probably be a lot of people with busted ribs though.

That rocket plowed a 40 foot trench through compacted earth before detonating? That's a pretty dope rocket.

I guess that's because the rocket motor had just ignited before the thing hit the ground?

As with everything else in American policing, every agency is different.

In my department, shotguns may be stored up front, while rifles must be locked in the trunk of the car.

We also have beanbag shotguns, but they are only issued to sergeants, so the first responders to a hot call will never have them.

they lunged at a cop and left three suicide notes, anyone 100% intent on committing suicide by cop is familiar with escalation of force procedures and can act accordingly. they knew what they were doing would get them shot.

you realize there's video of the event very much showing that the guy did not lunge at the cops, right?

and, given that he was actually unarmed, his intent doesn't seem to matter much. police should be capable of assessing the actual threat and de-escalating the situation.

Nobody's arguing that he wasn't trying to get shot. He literally yelled "shoot me!"

The argument is that maybe cops should be smart enough to not shoot people that aren't actually threatening even if they're literally asking for it.

The funny poo poo is those cops all had tasers. The dude wasn't moving quick they could have hit him with a taser and then cuffed him while he was twitching on the ground. Instead nope lets go to our service pistol and ice this dude

E: someone needs to make a "Tasers: What they do and when to use them" video and make it mandatory training for cops along with the other poo poo they sleep through, such as escalation of force.
