mlmp08 posted:E: Actually, I'm kind of peeved. Didn't change anything != fielding literally every helo with Mode 4 and determining that it required a GO waiver to fly without Mode 4 in combat zones is a pretty big change. It just took literally a decade or more (more like 2+ decades) to field all the upgrades. Maybe big Army learned, but the crews didn't. Or, more likely, the lessons faded over the intervening years. Mode 4 is one of the smallest pieces of the puzzle, frankly. In another venue we can discuss why.

M_Gargantua posted:Heres the overhead video too.  A noncompliant guy acting unpredictably and reaching into his vehicle (you can see it in the helo video, before he's shot) is going to be treated as a threat. I'm not saying he deserved it, but trying to string up the woman who shot him is more excessive.

Duzzy Funlop posted:But isn't there a world of time for non-lethal options before capping the guy? Not really...tasers and pepper spray are the only possibilities, and they're always useful. She thought he was on PCP (she was right) and there are a bunch of cases where tasers (and pepper spray) are completely ineffective on such people. If I'm walking up on a guy who keeps putting his hands in his pockets, refusing to comply with any commands, and there's anything close to the size disparity as there was here, I'm probably going to reach for the option that's more likely to be effective in neutralizing the potential threat. Which is, ultimately, the goal.

Kawasaki Nun posted:What's your point? You go back 80ish years in Japanese politics and they were beheading captured American soldiers. I don't see them returning to that. 50 years ago people were marching for equal rights in the south. Around the same time a sitting president decided to rescind the presidency rather than face impeachment. The point is that we never stopped.

Kawasaki Nun posted:I don't think generalizing those events onto the entirety of the united States is particularly representative or anything. Are turfwars between gangs in Illinois and California a sign that the country never developed past violent factionism? Along with other indicators, yes. not caring here posted:I was getting hype and then I saw the release date of February and now I'm not very hype. Nov 8 would've been incredible.

Wait, are we jumping on the guy who took a (really long) moment to decide how to answer an incredibly stupid question? Why aren't we going after the moron who doesn't know that Saudi Arabia is not a loving democracy?

I think you guys have too much faith in Comic Book Guy's slightly more mature older brother.
