Guy on electric skateboard crashes and flies off

newtboy says...

Very Wile E Coyote level of awareness of his surroundings. Almost expected a roadrunner in a fireman’s hat to peek in at the end.

School Board Must Resign or be Charged With “Child Porn”

For those curious - this was the book of writing prompts:
https://www.amazon.com/Things-Write-Francisco-Writers-Grotto/dp/1452105448

And here's 100 of 642 of those prompts:

This book was given to students in a college-credit creative writing class, and none of those 3-4 controversial prompts were assigned to students.

I would hazard to guess that even in Hudson, OH, most 17-18 year olds have already said and done things that their prude parents would cringe at.

Call the fireman, time to burn those books!

Helicopter night rescue of trapped firefighters

Delaware State Trooper Pulls Gun on Black Man For Speeding

BSR says...

That wasn't clear in your original response. If your intention was to rope in the good cops because you see the odds stacked against them and there is little hope for them, what does that say about the power you give to the bad cops?

It's been said this is the place where all your dreams can come true. Whether it's being a cop, fireman, soldier, father, and even a natural born killer or worse yet, Donald Trump. *snort*

Be careful what you dream and make it come true. Watch more Pixar.

OH! And eat more cake. It's not a lie. I saw it myself. Life is short.

Sadly, it's because these "good cops" all but never police their criminal brothers in blue, and the excessively few who have stood up are almost always threatened until they are run out of law enforcement.

Fireman Jack

This is how fast fire can spread. Warning: disturbing

StukaFox says...

There's no training in the world that can help you when you're walking over a floor of charred corpses, or picking up the bits and pieces left over after a plane crash. How a fireman can believe in a just and loving god after seeing some of that shit is beyond me.

Holy shit that's terrifying. How the hell does a fireman even train for a scenario like that?

Unarmed Man Laying On Ground With Hands in Air Shot

Mordhaus says...

To be clear, the situation appears to be as follows:

The police get a call about a person that may be mental wielding a gun.

Multiple police arrive on scene, where they find a black male and hispanic male.

The hispanic male is clutching something.

The extremely lucid and reasonable sounding black male identifies himself as a caregiver for the hispanic male, clarifies that the hispanic male is autistic, and that the item the hispanic male is carrying is a toy truck.

The black male does all of this, as well as trying to de-escalate the situation, while laying prone on his back with his hands in the air.

The police move in, at some point the black male is shot in the leg.

The police have full control of the situation, both parties are handcuffed.

Medical aid is not provided to the black male for more than 15 minutes. Not even an attempt by an officer to staunch the blood flow.

When the black male asks the officer why he was shot, the officer supposedly responds, "I don't know."

Now, let's examine this closely.

A gunshot wound to the leg could easily have nicked the femoral artery. I doubt the officers were trained to identify this. You can bleed out from seconds to minutes after your femoral artery gets damaged. A reasonable person might take off their shirt and compress the wound or use a belt as a tourniquet.

Before we consider that, really, we should look at one factor. If you choose to be a fireman, a policeman, or be in any other dangerous job, you need to be prepared to face actual danger. Being so scared that you might somehow, maybe, possibly get hurt that you proceed to jumpscare shoot someone who is fucking prone, is not being willing to face danger. It means someone joined the force to be 'better' than the rest of us plebes and not to face an iota of danger.

Also, if it was a white male, laying on his back and doing the same thing, do we expect him to be shot? The likely answer is no. I can't even believe that this was a likely shooting situation. At first, I suspected it might have been one shot that was accidentally discharged. That, while not acceptable, would have been plausible due to nerves. Three shots means three separate trigger pulls, that speaks to intent to shoot.

Luckily this man is going to live. He will likely sue and get a good chunk of money. If he had died, blood would have likely ran in the streets in Florida because one cop got scared that he 'might' be in danger. As far as that cop? He might lose his job briefly. Cop unions will do their best to get him back his job and will likely succeed. Let's be real about the possible ramifications of him going before a grand jury though. Even if he does, he will walk because the prosecutor will throw the case.

The fireman and cop are basic necessaries for any government. It benefits all.

From your point of view socialist aspects can and should be just about anything. Food distributions, incomes, housing, sexual bents.

democratic socialism. is just short step to Socialism. It is like Obama care is just a stepping stone to single payer ( government) system.

Government does nothing efficiently. Every one know this, Why would anyone want to give them more control?

ForgedReality said:

It isn't though. Those are socialist aspects of our society. We decided collectively that those are good things for society and we all pitch in to make them a reality. We actively WANT socialist programs, and we benefit from them every day. You allow your ignorance to cloud your perceptions. Stop confusing Marxist socialism with democratic socialism.

Motorcyclist Survives 50MPH Headon Collision With Firetruck

NYS Trooper Rosenblatt Doesn't Like Being Recorded

messenger says...

If this guy had been a fireman or even a soldier, he'd have laughed in his face, but because this guy has the power to arrest us for nothing, we have to kowtow.

We actually expect police to talk like this now. Why is this OK?

Jon Stewart Goes After Fox in Ferguson Monologue

dannym3141 says...

Just to elaborate on that slightly; by no means am i saying that i'm ok with law enforcement being killed in the line of duty. I'd draw a parallel to firemen - no one would be happy with the death of a fireman trying to stop a fire. But if we ever reached a point where we could be sure that everyone was as safe as possible, but we were still losing one fireman a year.... Well, a certain level of danger is kind of expected - it is the nature of the job, as i've heard soldiers say of dying or killing in the line of duty.

Tumbleweed Tornado of FIRE!

I'd gear up like a fireman, have them douse me in flame retardant then see if I could sprint through it. You Only Die Once, and THAT my friends, is the way to go!

A 767-ER airliner takes off from a runway 1/3 too short!

oritteropo says...

More info here - http://avherald.com/h?article=46d32419

Initially they had to hold because of a Cessna disabled on the Kilimanjaro runway, but it actually sounds like they just landed at the wrong airport afterwards. They had been cleared for landing at Kilimanjaro, but Arusha's runway was visible from their position and with the same orientation as their intended destination.

The passengers were initially told they had in fact landed at Kilimanjaro, 50 km away, and were then stuck on board the aircraft for 3.5 hours until stairs could be brought from there.

Reader N writes:


At least 100 people (police, fireman, military, airport officials) were on the runway, taking pictures with their phones, and no one gave us any explanation, no words from the pilot, nothing.

Funny now, but it was not quite funny 2 weeks ago.


Plenty of photos at the linked article too, and a different view of the takeoff

HugeJerk said:

Frequently the "Emergency Landing" is simply being low on fuel and not able to make it to another airport... happens when the intended airport is shutdown. Sometimes due to weather, doesn't allow night landings, or is being used by the military.
