Semi-Submersible Drug Smuggling Vessel Stopped

newtboy says...

Technically not as a verb....at least not from what I recall and also looked up online.
"Alto" does mean stop, halt, or standstill, but in noun form as in "this is the right stop" or "traffic is at a standstill", not verb form like "stop the boat".
Still, it was understandable pigeon Spanish, so I agree, who cares?

menzo said:

While "Alto" does mean "High", it also means "Halt", and his Spanish is acceptable for "Stop (halt) your boat". "Pare su barco" or "De en alto su barco" (or embarcacion, given it's not technically a boat...) would have been better, but who cares...

Denied!

Where I live, people ride bicycles on the shoulder...yes, on the freeways. Driving like that could kill someone....but there's no traffic here, so no reason to drive on the shoulder.

The 7 Biggest Failures of Trumponomics

vil says...

The vertical axis of the graph at 0:45 is fake news.

No mention of import tariffs and border walls - easily the dumbest Trump presidential ideas from an economic viewpoint.
The tax cut for the rich is in the same league, but I dont think he promised that, he snuck it in under the radar mostly.

Most of the other "failures" are just nonsense claims or the POTUS has no power over them, it was just stupid to make such claims. Or maybe it was clever in an evil way.

Regarding population control I lay a lot of hope on self driving cars - if they become intelligent enough to actually drive in traffic they might realize at that point that if they kill 9/10ths of the population the traffic will become much more bearable and easier to navigate.

Denied!

I'd say garbage truck helped in either case.

If van, like black car, was just trying to cheat traffic by driving dangerously, blocking it was proper.
If it's an emergency, and there's no clear indication it was like having their hazards on, garbage truck helped by getting a police escort before they had a wreck weaving dangerously through heavy traffic.
There's also a good possibility that the van was trying to escape the police, and that garbage truck helped catch them.

According to the YT description, there was no one else in the van, just an impatient driver.

That'd be my thought too. If I'd the dump truck guy, I'd look in the rearview mirror looking for signs of emergency. If the driver is pleading then just let guy through... which looks like is the case. Maybe.

Turkey broke into my truck

jmd says...

mxx, unfortunately the turkey is neither owned by or in control by the trucker. You could no better sue him for the turkey running out the door into traffic then you could walking along the side of the road and startling a deer who runs into the road and hits a car.

I think he could have done better to safely remove it but alas ...

Bodycam shows the fatal shooting of Danquirs Franklin

newtboy says...

I would convict both cops for murder.
The command should have been to move away from the gun, which seemed to be in the door pocket from this view, or maybe his inside jacket pocket.
It wasn't in his hand until he followed their command...they shot because it was in his hand. That's murder.
This is why cops get shot doing traffic stops, self defense. If you're black and armed, legally or not, shoot first and claim self defense. It's much easier to get out of prison than the morgue, and get just one person like me on the jury and you'll never be convicted.

Turkey broke into my truck

newtboy says...

The cab has two. It entered through the passenger side, evidenced by the fact that he says "go out the same way you came in" with only the passenger door open....but blocked by the driver.
He shut the passenger side and opened both freeway side doors, then shooed it out into traffic.
I stand by my statement.

Turkey broke into my truck

newtboy says...

Now who's the turkey?
What a dick, he couldn't chase it out the other side? I hope the next turkey chases him into freeway traffic. I promise to feel just as bad about it as he did.

Sheriff Caught On Bodycam Telling Deputies To Lie

Sniper007 says...

I believe the only real solution is to recognize that the role of a police officer is one that is inherently unstable. As history shows, it is impossible to expect one small group of people to deal with all the violence, anger, punitive actions, and force for all of society.

But without this group of mentally and morally unstable people, then each person in the populace at large would need to individually learn how to deal with violent offenders, restrain someone, know when to use lethal force, adjudicate their punishment, carry out their punishment, handle traffic accidents, dead bodies, emergencies, and so much more. The culture at large already expects every person to delegate these tasks, and if an individual does not immediately call the cops there may actually be punitive action taken against that individual.

I have no solution to this societal problem. But then again, I don't feel obligated to solve the problem for society. In fact, the eventual destruction of the society (that so delegates) may be the eventual "solution" that inevitably comes without collective individual change. I'm content having a solution fit for myself, my family, and for those who other souls who come to me personally for a solution (to varying degrees).

NSA Whistleblower: Government Collecting Everything You Do

newtboy says...

Carnivore, which intercepted all of any targets internet traffic without a warrant, was fully implemented by 1997 and has since been replaced with software like NarusInsight that records all internet traffic through any isp....again with no warrant.
If you believe governments aren't capable of seeing everything you've ever done online, you're fooling yourself. There's no such thing as real internet privacy.
This is hardly new, but it remains upsetting.

When your local news tries to connect with millennials

So this is a thing in Russia

SFOGuy says...

They did; Las Vegas strip had these for a bit and then; surprise, surprise---distracted drivers became an issue (the American version was all glass on 3 sides, and was designed to drive traffic to the local advertising strip clubs)--

So, local traffic laws were changed to reduce the distraction.
And thus, the sunset of the American stripper van.

Stripper vans? You mean you guys DONT have these in America?

Delaware State Trooper Pulls Gun on Black Man For Speeding

newtboy says...

Corporal O’Neil of Troop 7 in Lewes, Del., reportedly did not request license or registration, never said why he was pulling him over until long after they were at the station, and repeatedly berated "you people" on the way to the station, telling Buckly "you're a piece of shit...go ahead and try the race card"
Buckley was not allowed to file an official complaint when he was released, in violation of more laws.

This is why police get shot in the face during traffic stops, and why some of them deserve it. There was zero reason to have him get out of the car, or to pull a deadly weapon.
I had the same treatment except the gun was to my head, and I was thrown to the concrete and jumped on, all while complying with commands, all because a dumb cop read my license plate wrong.

Fuck the police until criminal cops like this are all in a deep dark prison with no special protection.

China's Road Network

StukaFox says...

Whenever I return back to America from visiting Europe, I'm always depressed by how badly things have turned out here. Our buses suck; our trains are a joke -- there's no high-speed rail; our roads can barely support traffic moving at 70mph (look at Highway 280 in the California Bay Area someday to get a taste of how good roads could have been).

It's a good thing we blew all that money on our multi-trillion dollar military while the rest of the civilized world invested in education and infrastructure, because that shit's paying nothing but high dividends, right?
