When talking about police shootings, it's interesting to look at how Buffalo police reduced shootings, to the point that nobody was shot and killed by a Buffalo PD officer for four years. tl;dr it's a combination of community policing, working to increase and improve trust between citizens and police, and, most importantly, a true cultural commitment to reduce shootings and plant the thought in the minds of officers that they don't want to shoot anyone. e:

At this point it looks like you really don't want to be anywhere near drainage or below a reservoir: https://mobile.twitter.com/afreedma/status/1038902945922928645 https://mobile.twitter.com/EricHolthaus/status/1038966088581767168 A Harvey is going to wash away everything below the Fall Line and make a good attempt at doing the same for the Piedmont.

I live on US 1 just over the sc nc border and always knew this place would be the beach again and soon but always expected the sea to come to me not vice versa I wonder if the east side of Columbia will be destroyed by Ft Jackson's concern for irrigating their golf course, again

The Mid-Atlantic has received a lot of rain this summer. In both June and July, we had days where we got a month’s worth of rain in a single day. I’ve been out of town for over a week, but it’s my understanding that we got even more rain over the last few days as well. The ground is pretty saturated as it is and I’ll be worried about some flooding as far north as DC and MD, or at the very least, trees coming down and a lot of storm damage. My girlfriend is home alone with Lando. At least we’ve got enough food and water to last her alone for at least a week if things get a bit hinky in DC (supply chain disruptions and whatnot more than an acute humanitarian situation.)

Yes this area has been getting an absolute poo poo-gently caress rear end-ton of rain for the last month. Got family in PA and they're telling me about weekly flooding events that were like once a decade from the 70s and on. If things go bad...they're gonna go REALLY bad.

Well, that's not good. But 4 days out, there's still a chance for it to change direction / not hit as hard, right? I mean, I figure it's only gonna gain strength on the way there, but...

Four days out it could go anywhere still. There’s a better chance than not that it’s still going to get big and make an east coast collision somewhere between north florida and virginia.

The model consensus is actually surprising. Normally, the model predictions look like cooked spaghetti, with five-day predictions being thousands of miles apart from each other, like the predictions for Olivia. But all the five day predictions for Florence all line up in the same state. It looks more like raw spaghetti than cooked spagetti.

Speaking of definitions of what is, found this guys blog https://roselawtx.wordpress.com/2012/10/16/manslaughter-and-criminally-negligent-homicide-in-texas/ quote:Manslaughter in Texas is codified under Texas Penal Code Chapter 19.04(a) and is committed when someone “recklessly causes the death of an individual.” Manslaughter is a 2nd Degree Felony (2 to 20 years in the Texas Department of Corrections).

In other "Holy gently caress, Hurricane Florence is going to kill people" news, North Carolina has a bunch of giant hog farms. Specifically, the type that have giant lagoons of pig poo poo that just festers because it's cheaper to buy up a couple adjacent acres and build a basin than it is to responsibly dispose of it. They look like this. And they're basically giant pools of cholera, E. coli, and whatever other horrible pestilence you'd get from literal pig poo poo festering in the sun. Hurricane/Biblical-style flooding like after Hurricane Floyd in 1999 leads to things like this happening.  Yes, that's a river next to the poo poo lagoon. The entire water system around the area becomes hosed and toxic. This is a map of North Carolina. The pink dots are hog farms.

Hog farmers need to be hit with the hammer of the fuckin law. Every once in a while I'll get stuck behind a tractor with a tank full of pig poo poo while out running and it is just about the worst smell. They are allowed to just dump it on their fields here because the rules haven't been updated from back when we had mom and pop farms with a couple hogs instead of loving city-sized hog factories

They are allowed to just dump it on their fields here because the rules haven't been updated from back when we had mom and pop farms with a couple hogs instead of loving city-sized hog factories Back in the late 90s, Maryland suffered from massive fish die-offs due to runoff from chicken farms and pig farms. Of course, farmers are a very powerful lobby that leverage the ability to pull at the emotional heart strings of Americans who still think of most Farmers as barely getting by. However, the fishing and crabbing industry in MD is even more powerful than the farming industry, so a bunch of laws were passed forcing poultry and hog farms to literally contain their poo poo.
