Father of 18-year-old fatally shot by Ohio police charged with hitting and killing deputy with car

“Let me be very direct: We cannot allow individuals to flee from officers with a loaded firearm aimed at them,” she said. “When this happens, the outcome is almost always tragic. No one wins, and everyone involved is affected.”

Absolutely disgusting mindset for the police to operate in and it should be a condemnation of them, not an excuse for killing a fleeing person merely suspected of committing a property crime.

Armed gang murders member of the public (with the full intention of “investigating” themselves and finding they did nothing wrong), is shocked that public would kill one of their own, and expects the public to shed tears for their fellow gang member (who was really a great guy… every other gang member loved him).

I was on the room next to an ultracentrifuge when it went off balance (one of the tubes in it cracked). The outer containment (barely) held, but that’s one of the loudest things I’ve ever heard.

I did that because 2 minute screen lock plus crazy long password requirements made working hell. The alternative was going to be an arduino usb hid device that typed the password when a button was pressed.

Having unrealistic, bad security rules are counterproductive.

So if the poster doesn’t constantly monitor the article and continually update their post title, the post will be removed? Even if it’s clear that they aren’t editorializing?

Isn’t this a case of the letter of the rule not reflecting the intent and you should just let it slide (or better yet update the rule)? Why strictly enforce a rule that you know doesn’t make sense?

just accepting that I'll never own a home at this point

There are more white non-homeowners in the US than the entire US black population and wealthy black people have no problem owning homes. The biggest correlation is wealth.

The wealthy have solidarity in their wealth while us poors find reasons to divide ourselves, be it race, religion, sexuality, or level of relative poorness. Imagine the power we’d have to fi change this country if we were allies instead.
