  1. I still think the cops in the US are a little too trigger happy. But the excuse for looting is ridiculous. $25,000 bail. She could have bought all of the things she stole for much less than that. But she couldn't biy her thrill I guess.🤦‍♀️

  2. I have to point out some of these videos lately aren't as quality (detailed/thorough and objective) as in the past and seem more opinion presentation (by comparison). Showing the stats, before and after the pamdemic, etc.

  3. I think you need a bit clearer delineation for the ad reads. at first it seemed like part of the story.

  4. The team is certainly displaying the greed and self-interest that the world often associates with the country, despite it not being the universal disposition.

  5. So, while I assume your assessment under the law is likely correct, I would not be able to agree about the comparison you make for 2 reasons. 1. In your example, there is no realistic possibility of the gun being real, loaded, and with a round chambered. Where as, in this case she knew she had both a gun and a taser. The risk of drawing the wrong one was always there. Further, she has a duty to take the care needed to avoid such mistakes. 2. She intended to use potentially deadly force which is a reality with both rather than absolutely no intent to harm (or possibility of death). Granted the differences in risk of death are substantially different between a taser and pistol. Now, you have also said, that would be justified by the law in this case also. In that case merely unintentionally grabbing the wrong one is the only wrong doing and doesn't change that the more severe action is justified. I don't suspect she got a lighter sentence than the other police officer because of race. Most likely it was because of the significant contextual differences. However, if there was bias, it would be more probable that it be based on the fact she was a woman (which is supposedly a thing that happens often). I think we need to be training officers and changing procedures to better handle situations (in a way that reduces risk of mistakes and the necessity of shooting suspects). Not only for the sake of the public, suspects, and criminals, but obviously for officers as well. Even if they don't get punished, no one wants to have a situation like Al Powell.

  6. If Biden's conversation didn't just say, "You can't be conducting yourself in this way" he should not be in office (But i don't know if any modern president would do that. Integrity is all but myth.

  8. I bet if she invested it then returned the money she probably wouldn't have even been held accountable. Or had she kept it and spent it on the right things I bet she could return from jail rolling in it. In that case... 5-10 years almost tempting. If I had no morals.

  9. It's disappointing you didn't spend more time covering the Lawyers quiting and what that means, why that may happen, etc.

  10. Guns are of limited usefulness defensively. Tanks on the other hand...

  11. I knew it, it all comes back to that flawed image they were pushing on Facebook and trying to use it to misconstrue their argument. I guess enough people didn't read the comments explaining the issues and just did a cursory thought (yeah that seems unfair!) then adopted "Equity good" in their minds from that point on. 🤦‍♀️ Humanity NO

  12. He gets arrested but she is not just a teacher but also a parent and somehow blame is on him. In theory the whole prerext in the US is that it's an unsafe environment and there is a power difference. Again, in theory parental oversight would negate that. If people can be charged as adults for crimes the ability to be deemed as having capacity should also be permissible based on the context. Now, I still think the teacher is completely unprofessional and the law as it stands in that country is the law. But they definitely have gender bias when it comes to sentencing. Wow 8th as well? ...And these are just the ones we hear about.

  14. What I wonder is, What did he do to make her so mad? Was he messing around with someone else?

  15. I don't really like the whole idea of these ones. It's like you are trying to pay people to be a 'race' inquisitor. I don't think I would willingly participate. The very idea of paying me enough to care bothers me.

  20. THERE'S A MOVIE!? So they just get even more money for a totally fraudulent narrative?

  21. If this was anyone else, they'd probably reverse the award. I don't think reward revoking is warranted unless the win was illegitimate. But even if the most dispicable person I know won an award legitimately, they deserve the reward. But even if one of my best friends won an award illegitimately, that's NOT something I could be happy about. I think it would be battery and assault, the comments are clearly threatening in nature even though an exact threat was not explicitly stated, more harm was threatened.

  22. The lady blaming the jury, that's just wrong. Blame the law if you want to blame someone. ...Or blame the people who hired you for misinforming everyone.

  23. The reality is, and this is why I hate the so called 'political spectrum', issues aren't linear. They always exist and can have all kinds of solutions and perspectives. Immigration is not a right only issue and dividing approaches as they have been means neither side is opting for the most practical solutions, but rather the extreme.

  24. It took me a bit to realize what you were gesturing to on your hand.

  25. I assumed the boyfriend was truthful, but now that he has contradicted himself, I don't know what is true. Are rhey regular working people? Did she shoot? Did he? Did they say 'who's there?'? Did the police announce themselves? Did they announce themselves loud enough? Did the police say, "stop shooting, or we wilk be forced to return fire"? What do those body cameras show?

  26. After what Whoopi said, now I have to wonder: What if he got the award because they were afraid of the presumptions of him not getting it.

  27. Sadly, putting it on the news only encouraged more people.

  29. "I want to us to help people, but I don't want to help people" If you are going to take in migrants there is a good way of doing it that helps everyone. You process them all at the border. You prioritize sending them places with a labour shortage. You give them the tools to succeed. You have every city and town commit to taking a small number so it is more manageable (like dissolving 40kg of sugar in a lake). Then you have them pay back their initial burden to the respective community over time (maybe it's just by taxes, maybe it's by volunteer service, maybe it's a manageable long term loan).

  30. If they need a new foreign council member, I will take the job. I won't even do the whole corruption thing.

  31. The reaction of the one young guy "it doesn't matter" makes me suspect the guy actually did rent the bike, and in typical fashion someone averse to conflict was trying to have him just cave. But this is a video, we weren't there it is a fairly mundane and insignificant interaction it is stupid that we even heard about it.

  32. Wow, how must justice really is there in the system?

  33. Why is anyone calling this a prank?

  34. Can I just say, it's always hypocrisy. One side points thr finger at the other for doing something wrong (as they should). Then, those same people rush to the excuses when their side does the same. There are times when there is difference in nuance as well, despite false association, but most of the time it's pure hypocrisy. I applaud any of you who stick to moral and ethical consistency no matter if it is 'your side' or 'their side'. But then again, most of you probably don't have a 'side' you support issues on a rational case by case basis.

  35. So despite prison, she accepts zero accountability and gets a Netflix deal. Yea that's going to deter bad actors....

  36. I have to disagree with the implication near the end of the video, that women are not trained in negotiation but men are. I don't believe either is taught employment negotiation, except perhaps in rare individual cases. But as far as my schools (secondary, post-secondary, or primary) were concerned no student was trained in negotiation let alone for an employment context as part of a curriculum. That said, I believe there exists supplementary resources available, or at minimum available to some minority groups that touch on some of those subjects.

  37. No we need less people like that.

  38. Did she unironically say she's a "wahmen".

  39. The hypocrisy of the pro-choice people "It's not a child" "Her daughter is dead" I don't mind, people wanting to make things accessible, that's their opinion. I mind them using an argument like it's an unassailable fortress, then turning around and taking the opposite stance, because of convenience.

  40. Only now? I swear I heard about this years ago. *maybe it was one of the (apparently) many other identical cases.

  42. I want TMZ to reveal the source the witness suggested it was Amber but I want them say it if it is true.

  45. You can only have a guest for 2 days? WTF kind of leases do these places have? You shouldn't even be able to do that. Make a thing about subletting or maximum occupancy, but if you're renting the space what you do with it (save for damages), should be your own decisions. That's how the law should handle it.

  46. Blame the news and politicians if people truly believe they're more afraid of police. I also don't believe her when she said she didn't do anything to lead to the situation.

  47. I think hard brain would be most accurate nfor those of us who are not keeping up with neuroplasticity exercises.

  48. ... Isn't that identifying with an opinion though? Or do you mean the more literal sense of defining oneself by external factors as opposed to relating to it?

  49. So she was trying to blame him for her extra pay scheme?
