Just got my alert. 2:18 pm

Because I admit when I'm wrong I'll tell you that the news is now reporting he was in the shooters car, not the other car like they said earlier. The video shows he wasn't the shooter, but if reports are now correct it seems he was involved.

While that is a legitimate reason for the police to be on high alert, it's still not enough to require/excuse deadly force against a fleeing suspect according to their rules of engagement or the law, but is likely enough for an acquittal on what they now say are murder charges.

This really rang true for me... (Cool Story Bro alert)

I spent a ridiculous amount of time playing two different RPGs in my early teen years: Ultima 6 and Final Fantasy 3 (SNES, FF6 by Japanese reckoning).

I treated Ultima 6 as a world simulator more than a "game", and so I never actually finished it because I had discovered and thrown away key plot items, and done enough"evil" stuff to have low karma that prevented me from actually proceeding with the story. But I didn't care much, I enjoyed just exploring and steamrolling anything that crossed my path.

Final Fantasy 3(6) was more forgiving though. I put experience eggs and other stuff on each character and then ground xp in the dinosaur forest, and eventually got every one up to level 99 with 9999 health and high stats. Similar to Ultima 6, I mainly enjoyed exploring and leveling up, so I had never even tried the final boss battle (Kefka) until I had every single character up to level 99 (not just 4-person party, I mean *every* character).

I figured being the final boss meant that it would be a tough fight no matter what. So I decked out a group of 4 (I liked Edgar, Sabin, Mog, and Umaro as my favorites) all with high end stuff. Edgar had Genji Gloves (dual wield) and Offering (attack 4 times per weapon, so 8 with Genji Glove), with Atma Weapon and Ragnarok swords.

Fight my way to Kefka, and order Edgar to "attack" -- 8 attacks of 9999 damage each, Kefka dies without getting so much as a single turn. Welp, guess I overprepared for that boss!

I'd hope that they put some time into automated dick-detection technology. Or perhaps just a tagging system to alert about rogue dicks for the admins to delete. I mean, you can't make this and not address that issue in some manner.

May not have been a deliberate act; head down, looking into a cell phone, stepping off the bridge to use the head (toilet)--no watch, no radar alert---and then you have a lot of mass moving really pretty darn quick and a collision course.

So, the comedy of errors grows.
The story had been that this was a mistake by a single technician that required the governor to sign into Facebook to correct, and he didn't know his password. What ridiculous emergency system is ported through Facebook? WTF?!?
Today, the new story is a night supervisor decided to test the day crew, and sent a prepared missile warning test recording to them that included the words "this is not a test", which, naturally, the tech took as a real warning. Once the mistake was realized, they also realized no one had ever considered what to do if a false alert went out, and they had no plan at all, so they asked the governor to make a public announcement on Facebook.
What a terrible system. The designers and supervisors should all be fired for allowing such a system to exist.

He's also in Red Alert 3 game too!

I lived near a SAC base during the 80s, and when the wind was blowing the right direction, I could hear the alert klaxon from the base. Then a stream of B-52s would lumber skyward, engines trailing black smoke.

More than a few times when this happened I wondered if Reagan had pushed the button and I was now 15 minutes from being vaporized.

Well now ... that was cheesy *promote a groaner alert

The bus driver kept alert and saved a life that day.
