This is only the beginning of the twisted logic of military policing. In a further bitter irony, the rise of the warrior cop feeds every paranoid inclination of our armed citizen-survivalists, which encourages, of course, yet more militarization.Radley Balko (now at WaPo) has been beating this drum for years now.
After struggling with Saenz for several minutes and apparently getting frustrated with their inability to get Saenz sufficiently subdued, one of the officers, El Paso Police Officer Jose Flores, pulls his pistol and shoots a downed and restrained Saenz from behind, twice, killing him.The video's not as graphic as one might think.
It’s quite apparent in the segment that Malloy takes great delight in facilitating a situation where gun owners (whom he hates) will die at the hands of law enforcement officers (whom he apparently hates more).I know it's not fashionable to call for violence in response to idiots like this, but stupid really should hurt.
I Tweeted this out a few days ago, but to address it here, let my simply repeat (in slightly altered form) what I wrote on Twitter then: unless and until this headline reads, “Texas Man Told to Remove American Flag Because ‘It’s a Threat to Muslims’; Responds by Telling Apartment Complex Manager to Go Blow a Donkey,” outrageous, PC restraints on speech, political or otherwise, will continue to grow ever more onerous.What I posted on my Facebook was 'I hope he told the manager she can go fuck herself'.
The thing about dogs eating homework is, it could actually happen. This can’t.I keep saying it, but things will not get better until the citizens get fed up enough to start spilling blood.
This is “the dog ate my hard drive, broke into another building, ate the backup of the hard drive, then broke into six other top officials’ offices and ate their hard drives also.”
On the last day of classes, June 5, Burkhart wore a sundress that she had worn to school before. But two hours before dismissal, she says teachers pulled her aside and measured her dress in the middle of the hallway while other students watched.I've got an idea ... if you can't determine that something violates school policy sooner than 2 hours before the end of school for the year, you probably shouldn't be in charge.
The teachers told Burkhart her dress violated the school’s dress code because the hemline was a half-inch too short. They told her she had to go home and change.
Ask any cognitive psychologist or neuroscientist the same question, and they will tell you that consistent awareness is nearly impossible for the human animal. Some of them will even use highly amusing videos to explain basic concepts about how awareness works—and how it fails.Here's the first video Ms Jackson refers to (and yes, I failed!):
The only thing that can change is the incentive structure offered by the voters. As Milton Friedman observed, you will not get a good government by electing "Good People" to office. You either will not be able to accomplish this, or these Good People will soon become Bad People because that is the nature of the system.Isn't this interesting, in light of the suggestion that T Jefferson made about liberty and the blood of tyrants and patriots?
The way you get good government is set the rewards -- and punishments -- such that even Bad People will make Good Decisions, out of pure self-interest.
Since he’s brought it up twice now, it’s fair to ask: What part of the Australian plan does Obama believe we should implement here in the United States? Surely he doesn’t believe the legislative effort now sitting in Washington is enough. What is enough?Because if he were to actually be specific in something he thinks would help, the jig would be up.
US police love to dress up and play soldier, but apparently they have forgotten that an important aspect of being a soldier concerns the other side shooting back:It is sad what it will take to cure the disease ...
“I guess Mississippi doesn't want Federal money anymore,” revolving-door K Streeter John Feehery posted on Twitter last week.This in response to MI voters expressing a preference that doesn't suit lobbyists. The GOP can't die as a party soon enough.
An armed concealed carry civilian stepped in and shot of the gunmen. The two shooters, a man and a woman, then went behind the store and killed themselves. Police believe it was a suicide pact.Some have reported that the CC'er is the individual shot and killed in front of the Walmart, other news is reporting that the female suspect shot the male and then killed herself.
The Army will investigate charges that rescued Sgt. Bowe Bergdahl deserted his post in Afghanistan, Joint Chiefs Chairman Martin Dempsey said Tuesday.Dempsey later said that his conduct is separate from the efforts to return him and I think this is an important distinction.
“When he is able to provide them, we’ll learn the facts. Like any American, he is innocent until proven guilty,” Dempsey said in a post to his Facebook page. “Our Army’s leaders will not look away from misconduct if it occurred.” …
An act of retribution may have provoked a woman to brutally attack a third grader inside an Oakland elementary school bathroom, police say.I've always wondered where in Lowes you find 'burglary tools'; now I know.
Police say Diame walked onto the campus during recess armed with a hammer and pulled a 9-year-old girl aside.
