Homeland Security Purchaces Lethal Ammunition

Homeland Security Purchaces Lethal Ammunition

bacall says...

Hollow point bullets are in common use in U.S. law enforcement. Police and sheriff deputies carry them. The DHS has 200,000 employees, that means ~2,000 rounds per employee. Since they have to train with the type of ammo they use ie hollow point. This sounds like about the right amount of ammo to qualify with your weapon at the range a couple times a year.

Homeland Security Purchaces Lethal Ammunition

RedSky says...

"Despite the ban on military use, hollow-point bullets are one of the most common types of civilian and police ammunition,[citation needed] due largely to the reduced risk of bystanders being hit by over-penetrating or ricocheted bullets, and the increased speed of incapacitation."

I have always been curious why police would opt for lethal over generally non-lethal plastic bullets in the first place though.

Um...so?
Cops dont use hollow point in the states? They use them here (Australia), fairly standard.
The hague convention is for MILITARY use...cops dont fall under that, fairly certain the DHS doesnt either.

Demand A Plan? Demand Celebrities Go F*ck Themselves

A10anis says...

The irony is so strong I was about to say that it is almost parody. However, I then noticed that it IS tagged as parody. My question is, are the participants aware that it is a parody, or not? I'm guessing not. In which case they should watch this video, hang their heads, and appreciate how hollow, and hypocritical, their "message" appears.

DARPA's robot will follow you like a dog

chingalera says...

The guys at Darpa on Halloween should put a hollowed-out cow carcass over one of these and throw a debauched design-team video party to chronicle the first Bovinator robot: "Necrotic tissue over make-shift,creepy-looking bag-o-parts endoskeleton!"

Shoot it and it says,
"Don't Dooooooooo dat!"

Obama On The Tax Plan

xxovercastxx says...

The much attested "fair tax rate" is a red herring frequently used by politicians of all stripes. A flat rate is "fair" by some measure. Hell, even a flat amount (eg $5000/year) is "fair". Progressive brackets like we have now and an even more drastically progressive taxes are also "fair" by certain measure.

This is all hollow rhetoric written to make you feel as if disagreeing with the speaker is unfair, wrong, immoral. We don't need a fair tax rate; we need an effective, sustainable tax rate whether it's 9% across the board or 0%-80% based on income brackets.

Dubstep has the capacity to set up some fundamentally deleterious vibrations in a human body at high volumes. Been to quite a few venues in my city, varied settings, and most have one thing in common: Poor sound engineering and too much Db for the space....
The evolution of Dj's styles goes hand in hand with the kind of durgs available and popular nowdays-Less pot and hallucinogens and more pharmaceuticals and bathtub amphetamines has created an evolutionary path for the sound. The music was more creative and ethereal, beneficial to the psyche when the majority of the crowd were high on natural drugs.
The genres' turning to complete shit IMO, sort of like rap and hip-hop did (although in a much shorter amount of time) and this time I blame the drugs first, and the idiots who abuse them next-
Dubstep it seems bees morphing into an un-listenable schizm whose fans are as hollow and vapid as the creativity it takes to rub two cuts together and drop an angular, hypnotic beat in the "release all bowels" range of hearing

You know...you could just say, "I don't like it." No need to get all hipsterish on us.


Gad. I had no idea my opinions could be considered hipsterish!!.....i feel like I need to wash now
