Giving cops less-lethal options tends to just further discourage proper de-escalation since "oh it's non-lethal" (until the victim dies from sudden cardiac arrest because they are 90 years old and got tazed by a cop who thought 20k volts was just as good as staying cool and talking the old nutter down)

"Let's not issue non-lethal methods because idiots will just lethally misuse them by accident." Police departments are the ones who are very very wrong in this case.

Yes. Let's poke at Iran who recently reelected the most liberal government since the revolution. No way that could backfire like when the Bush administration did it 15 years ago.

You don't even need batons when you're three on one with a little skinny kid with a holstered multitool. Just calmly walk up and put your hands on him.

I mean let's not let our distaste for Trump cloud the fact that the Iranian government, "liberal" in comparison or not, is one of the most regressive and malicious actors in the Middle East. Sure, the KSA is poo poo too, but let's not forget that Iran funneled the $200 odd billion we unfroze and funnelled a huge portion of it into Quds force and Hizballah operations in Syria, as well as brutal Shiite PMUs in Iraq and the Houthis in Yemen. Whose flag, for reference, literally says "God Is Great, Death to America, Death to Israel, Curse on the Jews, Victory to Islam"

I always wondered if the cop that one of his naked, bleeding, drugged victims managed to get to after managing to escape got nightmares. You know, for buying Dahmer's claim of a simple lover's quarrel and sending the dude back with Dahmer before going on with his day.

Do you think Lestat need some liberal arts college to learn how to be a vampire? No, he pulled himself up by his gothic boot straps and attacked prostitutes and drunks in the French Quarter like the lord of darkness intended.

Mr. Nice! posted:You don't even need batons when you're three on one with a little skinny kid with a holstered multitool. Just calmly walk up and put your hands on him. Yes clearly it's just as simple as that. No person wanting to commit suicide by cop has ever hurt a cop before, and he couldn't have a gun or different knife hidden on him. Calmly walking up and putting hands on him is retarded. They should have tased him. If they didn't have tasers, they could have kept backing up until someone could get behind him and tackle him, but if they had to use deadly force (If he suddenly charged with the knife, pulled out a gun) that person would be in the line of fire, so that's probably why they didn't do that. They had their weapons drawn because he wasn't listening to verbal commands and was continuing to approach them. For all they knew, he could have a knife anywhere, and could decide to pull it out and charge them at any time during the confrontation. They did the best they could in a lovely situation. They're not superhuman. They are going through a body alarm reaction, and they may be experiencing perceptual distortions (tunnel vision, auditory exclusion, etc) due to the adrenaline and other chemicals being dumped into their system. The guy turned out to not have a big gently caress off knife on him, but he easily could have and hindsight is 20/20. They didn't know that at the time. All they knew was the guy was armed with at least one knife.

This could literally be used as justification to kill any and every suspect ever encountered. Well done. By the way: We should never take POWs either because they are all probably preparing to kill you instead.

Trump lawyer Michael Says Who Cohen was set to testify to Senate Intel behind closed doors, then he blabbed to the media before the interview, against the agreement with Senate Intel. Senate Intel then cancelled and wants to reschedule to make the testimony public, possibly might issue out a subpoena. https://twitter.com/NBCNews/status/910178560534511617 The moral is: don't leak to the media if you're testifying to Congress. It's the job of Congress to leak to the media, not you

Well whatever side we picked...our influence was probably getting kicked out. That is what I find fascinating about the Iranian revolution. Student revolution in the US meant a borderline Dionysian orgy with liberal politics the day after. The students of Iran got together and choose fuckin' Islamic dictatorship lol.
