*euthanize

Awww...the poor bear :*( If the Canadian police are so euthanisia happy, I've got some annoying customers and drivers they can euthanize here. I'm close by too, Washington state.

"So they euthanized it"? No further explanation or discussion, just "they euthanized it"?

That's bullshit.

I can understand you deciding to give it up with all those ridiculous downvotes, I guess. It's still one of the funniest things I've seen in ages.

That poor little video has had a hard life, so someone needed to euthanize it.

Seriously, has anyone besides dystopia and me thought about euthanizing all those Simpons/Family Guy/Futurama clips in the dead pool? Or how about this: If any video has been dead for over a year how about automatically * killing it quietly in its comatose sleep? After a year it's probably suffered irreversible brain damage anyway, so pulling the plug on it is probably the only humane thing left to do at that point. Maybe that's something to consider for VS 3.2 or later. Let's not let this end up in the courts, people.

I disagree. Maybe we could have a graveyard or something to put the kinds of dead sifts that are constantly cluttering up the dead pool, but there's no reason to remove the sifts altogether.

*dead, again. Hopefully we won't have to *euthanize it.

Hm, interesting. I used to be very allergic to cats - and because of this pretty ambivalent about them - but I've discovered that I'm not any more.

One cat in particular, last winter, completely won me over. He's a black cat that could let himself in or out by unlatching the window... so in the middle of the night he'd land on my sternum and then curl himself around my ears like a warm Russian hat.

In short I think cats are amazing creatures and I think I'm going to get one in four or five months--once I get back from this trip coming up. Probably I'll rescue one from being euthanized, but I might just get one of these cats++, if they're not twenty thousand dollars.

Incidentally I used to live on a very small island (on the west coast of British Columbia) that had twelve really big cats. (I was still very allergic then.) I was moored at the side of the island, next to a large crack in the rock-face, which had a sea otter living inside. One morning just after dawn I was watching all twelve cats stalk the otter, who was casually breaking into an oyster. When the cats crossed her invisible line she made this noise - impossible to describe - but extremely loud and weird. The cats vanished in a whoosh.

As the local Fox affialate reports (http://www.fox16.com/mediacenter/local.aspx?videoId=47825),
Officer Williams has been "cleared," i.e., restored to duty but must attend counseling on how to handle apprehended subjects. Call me crazy, but I don't think that retraining this guy is going to help mitigate his clear disposition to violence. He does not belong on the street.

As noted by Internal Affairs, one of the worst things this cop did was to leave a cuffed suspect unattended to go running after another questionably criminal actor (that he never apprehends!). That may sound silly, but it is an incredible breach of safety protocol. Short of preventing a fleeing suspect from obviously and imminently injuring or killing many people, an officer with an actor in custody never leaves the actor unattended until transferred to another officer's custody.

Beyond that, though, I am really surprised IA did not find that Williams used excessive force. It's worth noting, according to the quoted AP report, that IA recommended no changes to the department's rules of non-deadly engagement. One wonders if a desire to leave certain language in said rules was a motivating factor in the decision.

It is clear that Williams grabs a teenage girl by the throat when she walks away from him after being told she was under arrest for violating city ordinance. It is certain that when a cop tells you to stop where you are and/or that you are under arrest, walking away from him is the Wrong Thing to do. So we might surmise that Williams is justified in going after her, except that he again(!) leaves an already apprehended suspect unattended. At this point, we also see a second (bicycle?) officer who is engaged with another apprehended actor.

As Williams is dragging the girl back towards the other officer, the third (fourth?) actor gets in the fray by jumping in front of Williams and screaming at him. While I can understand this kid's outrage, he could not possibly have picked a worse course of action. This cop was clearly torqued up about as tight as he could be wound and to antagonize him at that point invites an (arguably legal) attack. Don't mistake that statement for any kind of justification for Williams outrageous reaction. But even though we may euthanize bears that attack people, it's hard to have sympathy for someone that pokes a bear with sticks.

Williams was clearly out of control in his attempt to perform his duties. He failed to remember some of the basic instructions he (hopefully) learned as a police cadet (assuming he was one). He further allowed himself to be emotionally overwhelmed (by children!) while attempting to carry out his duties. While the kids displayed a contempt for rules and authority (which is to be expected of teenagers), the adults in the situation displayed an even greater lack of wisdom.

I would recommend Officer Williams be permanently removed from field duty, and that the bicycle officer be temporarily relieved pending retraining for not restraining his colleague.

soooo, if we all agree, why can't the collective world of civilized folk, get their heads out of their own bullshit long enough to see, that sayyyyy, "A nation of north Vietnamese, and likely the next 2 generations or more of the same, are going to be "fucked", because the same civilized world, has not euthanized Kim Jong Il by unanimous vote, regardless of what his beloved sheeple have to say in protest!!!??

Mostimes, you wonder if yer on the right planet. uhMean, fuck, Hitler was only 50 plus years ago, and he now lives next door to some of you......

sometimes, Buddha kills cockroaches....

Gonna *discard/euthanize this one.

I remember reading a heart-breaking blog once that related a personal story. She called PETA to take her elderly mother's dog because no one could care for it. She was assured the dog was a fine candidate for placement...good natured...calm...in good health....

A few hours later she found a friend who was willing to take the dog, so she called the PETA office to retrieve it. It had been euthanized.

Approximate time of death?

5 minutes after PETA picked it up.

PETA was unable to give the body back - because they no longer had it.
