https://amp.usatoday.com/amp/1248119002quote:In May 2017, Guyger was called to assist another officer searching for a suspect. An affidavit indicates a man identified as Uvaldo Perez got out of a car and became combative with Guyger and another officer. A struggle began and Guyger fired her Taser at Perez, who wrested the weapon away from her. Guyger then drew her gun and shot Perez in the abdomen, the affidavit says. Guyger was not charged in the case. They're gonna let her off I now lust for cop death Professor Bling fucked around with this message at 23:14 on Sep 9, 2018 |

Model predictions this far out are still pretty unreliable, and the Euro/ECMWF model is generally considered the best hurricane prediction model for the Atlantic. But the American GFS and FV3-GFS models have a ridiculous prediction that Florence will stall at landfall and sit on top of the NC barrier islands for three days straight. https://www.tropicaltidbits.com/analysis/models/?model=gfs®ion=us&pkg=z500_mslp&runtime=2018090912&fh=-60

Err, that potential field is basically an enormous "gently caress you" to the entire continental USA. I mean, good luck. You might try moving to Alaska?

Her first shooting is a “good” shooting if it really played out that way. Less lethal first and then the gun is pretty restrained.

Getting ready for weather events is like one of the most exciting parts of New England and its the only time you see strangers in public talking here Also lol that a carolina hurricane is the same as a New England hurricane. Shits way loving weaker by the time it gets here. Good luck to her.

If your domicile is in the Outer Banks, how do you not have a lovely shanty in the background that is your "Get out of Hurricane Zone Electrical Zone" somewhere in like Kentucky? e: I mean you are going to be paying north of half a million for anything on the banks, this seems like a ridiculous oversight.

45 ACP CURES NAZIS posted:euro countries will have armed cops as back up basically but the person interacting with the public won't have a gun. Not true. Only Great Britain has unarmed cops. Norway’s cops are armed, but don’t sometimes have a weapon on them. Elsewhere everyone carries a weapon on patrol, and depending on place detectives might orr might not carry. Some countries or jurisdictions will have rookie cops withh everything else besides a firearm until certain patrol time is filled. Some countries require firearm to be signed in after work, some require it to be stored in personal locker, and some allow it home. China stands out as another place where People’s Police have an issues revolver, but not on them.

While we do have armed cops in the UK, our general cops are explicitly not armed. As per a survey done of them a couple of years ago, half of them would resign immediately if arms were required for service. That said, I've seen and talked to the actual armed bastards while out a couple of times in my life and they know their poo poo. We just have a different way of thinking about firearms over here.

And UK is a pretty stark stand out in the world as having police officers who are not armed, cannot be armed, and are not trained to be armed. In other places where the pistol isn’t carried on patrol, it still exists somewhere and is trained with. But as said, in most european countries it is always carried on patrol.

Oxygenpoisoning posted:After listening to the Serial podcast about Bergdahl you definitely realize he’s only a step above Caro on the mental health. It changed my opinion about the whole situation when I got more information about him. I think that's why I like S2 so much over S1. I knew a ton about Caro and when i first listened to S2 i was very sympathetic to his poor decisions because he sounded like a young and dumb guy with some real mental health problems.

At this point life lessons for children are stuff like "how to do laundry" and "here's how finance and credit works" and everyone just needs to add on to that pile "here's how basic digital security and online privacy works." That particular genie is not ever going back in the bottle and I've told my wife when we get serious about having young'ns we're treating that talk just as seriously as all the other topics. There's just really no other way.

As I understand it the difference between manslaughter and homicide is if you would rather the dude died or not. So how can any sort of intentional discharge of a gun that ends up in a dude the gun was pointing at not homicide? A gun is a tool whose sole purpose is to destroy people, animals, pieces of paper, etc. It's not like "Was working construction and having a nail gun fight, and accidentally lobotomized my friend not realizing you can do that, whoopsie" or "I got startled and tasered the dude and the dude had a heart condition, whoopsie" edit: in fairness I could be and probably wrong. I'm really curious. Defenestrategy fucked around with this message at 02:15 on Sep 10, 2018 |

A homicide is when a human being is killed by another. A justified homicide is... well self explanatory. The typical ways illegal homicides are categorized as manslaughter and murder. Usually as you said but every state has crazy differences. I don’t know if Texas has imperfect self defense but that’d be one way to get what would otherwise be a murder down to manslaughter.
