Just Another Black Man Almost KIlled By Cops

Super Kids Epic Showdown | Action Movie Kid Has A Field Day

Today on C.G.W.-Cop Goes Into GTA Mode And Runs Down Suspect

newtboy says...

Obviously not, I would prefer people didn't kill each other. Failing that, I wish things were more balanced overall. You seem to believe it's either 10 to 1 or 1 to 10. How about 1 to 1 like the rest of us?
Crime is down across the board, but that disgusting ratio continues to climb...meaning the less crime there is, the more violently police are reacting to it. You can argue about why, I'm just saying those statistics are telling and terrible, on all levels.

Police work daily with the DA, and are rarely prosecuted even when there is video that's clear and complete, while private citizens don't get the same treatment by far. You know this well.

Nothing I said would give suspected criminals (innocent until proven guilty, remember) the upper hand in any way. Reasonably TRYING less lethal methods is not walking into a hail of gunfire to try a billy club.
I would prefer that police put safety first, and not just their own safety, and certainly not police control over a citizens safety. I would prefer that police would go back to trying to de-escalate situations instead of trying to gain full control at all cost. I would really prefer that police caught acting badly were not supported and defended by other cops (sound familiar?), and were prosecuted by special prosecutors more often and more harshly than normal citizens. Since it's their job to uphold the law and the peace it's up to them to be better than 'normal' citizens, breaking the law as a lawman is doubly bad and should be punished as such.

But I'm sure you'll misread this, ridiculously misstate some of it, and make up a new straw man to argue about, and I'm already sorry I fell off the wagon and engaged again. Bad newt.

10 people killed versus one cop killed.

I imagine you would prefer those stats to be reversed, considering your animus toward cops.

The reason that stat is correct is because cops are called into dangerous situations with dangerous people, the cops have training and the responsibility to use deadly force.

If the cop does something wrong, he has to answer to his local prosecutor up to and including the attorney general of the United States and the resources of the entire Dept of Justice...which, by the way, was used on Darren Wilson, and Darren Wilson was found to have acted correctly.

You would prefer the criminal get the upper hand, which puts you well out of the mainstream of normal people.

Why is that?

You really need to use some critical thinking instead of just taking a statistic and trying to draw a conclusion from it. Especially when that conclusion is so blatantly specious.

Animating a life size dummy with public outdoors

rubywillow says...

I think it is a different way of approaching animation, maybe more interesting than seeing the normally controlled studio created work. If you watch slowly, you can see that in one frame the leg fell off, and in another it seems to fall over. Sorry not for you.. maybe next one.

If 'Rudolph' Took Place Today

Mordhaus says...

Did you even watch the original Rudolph? Santa didn't use the word freaks, but he did say the nose would keep him off the sleigh team. Later when Rudolph was doing amazing in the games, his nose fell off, and Santa was a jerk again.

That said, the whole point of this video is that today we could never have the 'classic' show. Just like we will never see a remake of Blazing Saddles, because people are too ready to jump on the internet criticism bandwagon.

Magicpants said:

It's kind of interesting in that it seems like the creator A) doesn't think it should be a big deal if Santa says "Can't have any freaks on the sleigh team" and B) Imagines Santa would say, let alone think, that in the first place.

Can we replace the "news" tag with "fail"?

TSA: please verify that your used cane is not a sword

sixshot says...

I twisted the handle but the top fell off. Bought the cane at a flea market years ago. Now I got a useless stick. Thanks TSA for ruining my favorite cane. Bastard.

Doom E3 2014 trailer

Dolbs says...

That would be my fear. I want it to be like the first time I saw the "pinkies" and I was wearing headphones late at night. Almost fell off the chair. Took a bit to get the heart rate back down after that.

Well at least it can't end up being quite as boring as doom 3 was right? (it totally could and another little bit of my childhood will die with it )

Star Wars Battlefront : Official Trailer

Porksandwich says...

Yeah I was a big fan of the Battlefield series up till about 2142....then it just kinda fell off for me.

Battlefront never really appealed, it always felt off... Not like many of the other games where you played jedi and could really do some interesting stuff.

How Not to Pull a Jeep from the Mud

A question I have had for awhile....

http://videosift.com/video/If-Google-were-just-Some-Guy

http://videosift.com/video/Double-Caste-South-African-Comedian-talks-Apartheid

The Google vid is older than the Double Caste vid. I thought it would fall off the Top Vids when the google vid hit 3 days. Instead, it is still up two hours after it hit 3 days, while the Double Caste vid fell off.

Someone told me that it had to do with whether it was promoted or not, but when I asked in the past, someone -- either you or dag -- said no. Three days and out.

Doesn't really matter. I'm just curious. And I know you like examples!

California Rehab Program Rife with Fraud

eric3579 says...

What i find a shame is that they can legally charge me $20,000 for 3 hrs in the hospital because i fell off my bike (which ill be in debt for forever probably), or 750 dollars a month they want to charge me at costco for one of the antidepressants I was taking (paid about 100 a month from Canada for the generic which they cant sell in the US). Also there is the $8500 my dentist wants to replace two of my front teeth which ill need in the next year or two. Personally ill take my chances with socialized medicine as I dont have the kind of money it takes to get better when i get sick or hurt. None of us should have to choose between medical attention/medication and the ability to eat or pay the bills. Thats just the way I see it. Thanks for letting me vent.

edit
Charging a patient $15 for a Tylenol is an absolute legal healthcare fraud(imo), but thats just good American business. http://www.rd.com/slideshows/wildly-overinflated-hospital-costs/#slideshow=slide1

and my apologies for going off topic @MrFisk

I guarantee, as healthcare becomes more socialized, we're going to see a whole lot more of this.

Such a shame.
