Because police should not be engaging in "pain compliance" on someone who hasn't acted in a threatening manner.

Hurting someone should be the last step for police when dealing with someone, not the first.

I don't have anything new to offer, but thank you for reminding me about that cop. Watching him cry and snivel and keep bringing his head down to the table as he's sentenced to over 250 years in prison, and the attorneys just dutifully take notes, is really excellent and I forgot how much joy it brought me.

If he's just standing there with the crowbar when you make contact with him ('make contact' as in arriving on scene - not in the 'making contact using the baton' sense) then you should absolutely try verbal de-escalation first. But that's not what was happening.


Wait so the guy standing looking at you weapon in hand deserves not to be instantly assaulted; but the guy with his back turned unaware of you entirely does?

Besides the point of course; the police man was treating the guy like he was a 16yo scrog; when he's a 60 year old poo poo-heel. If he'd taked more than half a second to analyse the situation rather than going in maximum force, then he'd have known that.

* unaware guy who was violently smashing his was into a house which clearly had people inside it. If he was just committing a burglary they may have acted differently, if he's committing a home invasion (which he was as far as the police were concerned, most likely) then the situation has already escalated.

There's a good chance that the burglar might not have known that there were people in the house because he seems to be spectacularly oblivious to everything around him but the cops had only just arrived on the scene and they weren't really in a position to give him the benefit of the doubt.

I don't want them to give him the benefit of the doubt, I want them to analyse the situation before jumping straight to maximum-use-of-force.

What if the burglar was circumcised?

Also lol at Murricans using "burglarise" as a verb. The verb is "burgle", you idiots. Hence "burglar": one who burgles. "Burgled" is the last past tense.

Edit: autocorrect can go straight to he'll

Generally speaking, it’s okay for you to dominate an industry. But as soon as you start using your dominance in that industry to dominate other industries, that’s when antitrust law sits up and starts looking at you.

If anyone actually used Froogle it’d have been a much bigger deal.
:what:

There is no product that Google actually produces or sells that they'd be able to "dominate" with. A year ago if they blocked competitors like Yahoo with their DNS or throttled them on their fiber networks then sure but that is kosher now. It's not a stretch that doctored search results are explicitly legal in order to take over an industry as the internet is broadly no longer considered a utility. You can spoof your location (since I think they disabled manual navigation to other Google domains) to see how search results change depending on your world location for say EU compliance.

There's nothing they could do to prevent another email, search, ISP, or ad provider from entering the market aside from possibly overcompensating per ad click but that's a lol bubble regardless.

What's a "burglar"? Did you mean "burglarizer"? Because I'm pretty sure that's what you call a guy who does a lot of burglarizering. Or as a Joss Whedon script would say, "getting a lot of the burglarizeringage done".

The same channel has a "People falling out of trees" compilation which I was going to post but those clips were pretty hosed up :ohdear:

Edit: I'm watching their "Roof jumping fails" compilation and those clips are also pretty hosed up :ohdear::ohdear:
They're pretty much all along the lines:
/person jumps off roof, lands badly
Jumper: AAAAUGH! AAAUUUUUUGHHH! AUGH! AAAAAAAUUUUUGH!
Friend: Are you alright?
Jumper: AAAAAAAAAAAAUUUUUUUUUGHGGHH! AAAAUUUUGGGGH! AAAUUUGGGHHH!!!

I think I remember one of these fail compilation channels would include the occasional person actually landing whatever dumb stunt they were trying, made all the more impressive by being in the middle of a montage of people faceplanting. Not in separate videos like WinArmy, just occasionally mixed into a fail vid.
