There was video from what looked like a body cam. It was out shortly after the incident. I believe the article had some as well. Needless to say, boiling water is not life threatening. How can it be argued that they feared for thier life.

Well, the trump doj has had a hard time get the grand jury to indicte. But that is just because they are trying to bring ridiculous cases and have incompetent lawyers. Lol. But I get what you are saying. I am saying the people on that grand jury need to ignore what they are being told and vote to indicte. The story was big enough that they couldn’t have been unaware of it before they were picked. But yes, our legal system is a joke.

I would love to put all the blame on the police… but the frand jury refused to indite? Who the hell were those people? What is wrong with them. Ignore the judges “instructions”. Vote to indite. These things won’t stop until you stand up for what is right.

Is adultery illegal in France? Is it still cause for a fault-based divorce? While I very much agree with the change they are making, I think refusal to have sex should rule out adultery as a cause for fault based divorce. Just seems wrong to say you can’t have sex with anyone other thatn this one person who won’t have sex with you, so you are at fault if you have sex… horrible wording, but I think y’all get what I am saying.

Not a surprise to anyone. Even if it said trump reportedly wants a 250ft penis errected and named trumps boner, that would be no surprise. What I am surprised by is that he hasn’t demolished mt Rushmore to put his face there yet.

Sub shitlibs with poloticians. They are really all the same. Somewhere in their career they get successful leaning to one side or the other. Then they just lean more. But at their core, they do and say whatever is in thier best interest. And if they can’t get publicity about it, they don’t do it. Anyone who doesn’t loses out to those who do. Even many of the “monsters” don’t even hate what they claim to hate. It’s just a means to an end. Nearly all of them care more about themselves than any cause or issue they spout off about.

So this is an interesting angle. If an individual is open carrying near certain places, like a protest, a permit is required. That means they can ask for that permit, and ask them to pull down thier face covering to verify they match the ID. Now I am sure the feds will say that since they identified themselves as federal agents, they don’t need to. But where is that line. Law enforcement doesn’t feel the need to prove it is law enforcement to us pleebs. But how do they feel about other supposed law enforcement refusing to follow thier orders to provide ID. Could be interesting.

Perhaps you missed how politics works… lol

That and the lawsuit payoff that follows. The nurses union doesn’t mess around.

Well, I am sure there must be some really remote desolate land somewhere that no one had claimed. And of course the native Americans didn’t believe in owning land, so it is a bit fuzzy “technically”. But we all know what happened…

This exactly. Sending cops alone to these calls is like using a hammer on a screw.

Just about everywhere in the US was taken from someone. And almost always a marginalized individual. All the way back to the native americans. It how human be human apparently.

At the same time, this was clearly a mental health issue. Cops just shouldn’t be sent alone to deal with those. They aren’t trained for it, and many aren’t trainable because it wasn’t part of the hiring criteria and they just don’t have the skills. We need an addition group trained for this that can better handle these things. That way no one has to die, and we don’t have to spend tons of taxpayer money because a cop was put in a position he was clearly unqualified for. Probably shouldn’t even have been a cop. But with high demand and low supply, they end up taking lots of people who should never be cops. Maybe this guy could have lead a happy and productive life as a plumber or something.

I imagine this as a system that uses spare renewable energy like solar to generate gas that can be used to smooth the curve that is a renewable power source. It’s real value is that it reduces infrastructure needs, allowing its use in remote environments. But it does add a lot of additional failure points.

Minnesota needs to recall their congresspeople. Like tell them to come home. Then other states need to follow. Refuse to participate.

Only when it is good for “business”

It’s not really a trust thing. They are companies, not people. The top decision makers have a fubuciary responsibility to do whatever makes money. They can, and often do, get sued if they don’t. So you can expect them to sell you out. It’s literally thier purpose for existing.

Actually, if you ask about the non-insurance price, it is often significantly reduced. Places massively overbill, so that the insurance can claim they got you a discount. The real price is often even lower.

But yes, it’s a scam to make you believe you “need” insurance. Most probably only need like catastrophic insurance.

That could be like the new “ok boomer” for them. Lol. Though I did like “weird”

You would think that. But most decent sized companies self insure. That means they figure out how much to hold in savings to cover potential costs. They probably pay someone for that number. The premium is just to pay the insurance company to manage billing. It is basically an administrative fee. That puts them in the position that employers will choose the insurance company that cost them the least, mainly by denying claims. It’s a system designed to extract as much money as possible from the people and pass it on to the largest shareholders (the board of directors).
