[quote=" Police officer tickets man for jaywalking and "walking without ID" "]A Florida Cop Ticketed a Man for Walking Without His ID In footage of the incident, a cop threatens to arrest Devonte Shipman for a crime that doesn't exist. Last week, a Florida cop stopped a 21-year-o...

I stopped carrying in back pockets because of both risk of theft (pickpocketing) and muscular deformation over time. Having one gluteus lifted half an inch over part of its surface is not something for which the rest of the body can easily compensate.

Simon, there's a possibility you're overlooking. It is highly possible that Castile had his hand in his pocket already (getting his id) when Yanez said "don't reach for [the gun]". So, now Castile has his hand in his pocket, probably with his wallet in it. Castile can't pull his hand out, ...

Yeah, that's more or less what I'm trying to say there. Even if the incident occurred exactly as police describe, the conduct of the arresting officer when Promvongsa did pull over is still unacceptable. I don't believe that the police account is believable, either. Police officers do routinely exag...

Shortly after encountering an agitated motorist driving in front of him on July 28, 2016, Anthony found himself confronted by the police. Within seconds of exiting his vehicle after pulling Anthony over, Agent Joe Joswiak of the Buffalo Ridge Drug Task Force opened the door of Anthony’s car, scream...

I don't get how somebody can be justifiably shot by police by reaching into something when the person's demeanor was nonthreatening. It just does not compute with me how police can be that aggressive and stupid and not go to jail for this shit. That's because you live in a country where the relatio...

Your assertions regarding the officers having given medical attention to Castile are contrary to the paramedics' description that when they arrived on scene 10 minutes later, no one had so much as checked Castile for a pulse. If you are actually interested in truth you should be reviewing all evide...

Your assertions regarding the officers having given medical attention to Castile are contrary to the paramedics' description that when they arrived on scene 10 minutes later, no one had so much as checked Castile for a pulse. They did do CPR on the video. Granted they may have stopped by the time t...

Clearly, the officer panicking and giving unclear instructions (what's "it"? The gun, which Castile and his girlfriend both say he wasn't reaching for, or his ID, which both Castile and his girlfriend say he was reaching for?) is Castile's fault, and the punishment for being present when a...

Maybe we should pick this up in another thread, but why do you think morality subroutines are antithetical to Data as a character? From my understanding, Dr. Zimmerman wasn't likened much to Dr. Noonien Singh because he never had any intention of creating sentient entities. He made a complex hologra...

The dashcam footage was released today . Nothing in the footage exculpates Yanez, imo, and it supports the victim's family's claim: The officer told him to get his license and registration. The victim gave his registration, told the officer he was armed, and reached for his wallet to comply with the...

There was one aspect to this film I did enjoy, and that was David and Walter. They brought back memories of Data and Lore from TNG. Beyond that, I found myself wishing that TNG had somehow "gone there" with Data's relationship with Lore, having Data being at some point seduced by his comm...

I don't feel the need to wash my bath towel after 30 seconds of touching my body, which I literally just cleaned. If my bath towel were dirty after that amount of use, I'd look first to my hygiene in the shower to figure out why I'm still dirty after washing myself.

Aliens - a group of soldiers investigate a fallen colony. They have been deliberately outfitted with non-mission appropriate weaponry due to a bizarre design feature in the colonial base (a nuclear power plant in the ceiling instead of basement). Three humans plus a synthetic survive (but not for l...

I don't know if or how show-canon differs, but in the books, she definitely made sure not to bear any of Rob's children, deliberately. But that was only after the first one died, and she realized what a piece of shit Robert really was. Not according to the books. In the books, she fucked Jaime the ...

Cersei was stoked about marrying Robert Baratheon because it meant her children would rule the Kingdom, and she'd get to be near Jaime (already Kingsguard). She and Jaime were leaning towards incest in puberty. That's part of why Tywin sent Jaime away from Casterly Rock in the first place.

A star energetic enough to keep a shell world this size from gravitational collapse would also sterilize the interior surface and the outside would be emitting light as a blackbody. Uninhabitable, certainly no liquid-water oceans.

Ringworlds require a material which has a tensile strength greater than the nuclear strong force to work, and this thing would have to have at least twice the radius of Niven's ringworld.

It's totally possible, if the gravitational constant of the universe is different. That's about the only way.

There are such movies, periodically. Training Day covers the fall of a corrupt cop, for example.

Or someone who treats a forum like Facebook. It's sort-of accepted behavior to just post links on FB with no excerpt, preview, or significant comment on the content of said link. It is not acceptable here.

Clickbait doesn't stop being clickbait when it's a forum post. Fuck off with this shit, which is in clear violation of forum rules.
