Let's not get sidetracked by things that aren't actual failures of police procedure, when there are so many actual failures going on. They did not need to give him a Miranda warning.

They don't have to read you your Miranda rights until you are questioned; even then, they can skip the warning if they don't plan to use your responses against you in court.

Not shockingly, the precautions available in Africa are a teeny tiny bit less sophisticated than in the U.S. That includes the type of gowns, gloves, and other protective equipment worn by the providers. Their risk of infection via exposure to vomit and blood (it is a hemorrhagic disease after all) is significant,…

If you don't want anything in it, order it black.

Hmm. Two words: Blue waffle.

Argh, voice is... argh.

Macy has had some wicked surgery on his right leg...

The privacy law protects personally identifying information. De-identified information can be used for mostly any purpose. She'll have to establish that it is possible to identify her from the photos (which might happen, since the black bars still leave a lot of her face visible).

Pills made out of bullshit and sold to idiots.

Many states that require insurance require comprehensive insurance, not just liability.

I think you mean "back to their respective commands." Not prospective.

You sound like some kind of redneck redstater who takes any comments about guns or cops / military personally, and imagines everyone who doesn't toe your line must be a liberal pinko communist hippie trying to take your freedoms away. The fact that you suggest you're from my home state is depressing, but I always knew…

Why, oh why, do people report rapes to schools. They aren't judicial systems. Report them to the police. Get a rape kit. Preserve the evidence. A crime has been committed.

Since Winterkewl transferred the bulk of the remaining Kickstarter funds, and all the intellectual property, to Yogscast... It's certainly possible a lawsuit could claim that Yogscast inherited the liability and legal exposure as well.

Worth pointing out that water is essentially a local resource. Wasting water in Topeka has nothing to do with potable water shortages in Africa or India, and water billing in Detroit is totally unrelated to water conservation in California.

"Noted dummy" huh? I wonder how Jezebel would react if someone famous made the claim that anyone who didn't score a 1200+ on their SATs was a "dummy." Probably be all "tests don't tell you everything! don't judge someone by their performance on a patriarchal, racist standardized test that at best reflects one day in…

Doesn't it? I don't know, I think there's a pretty substantial portion of the world that finds rocket attacks on civilians and suicide bombers an understandable, if not defensible, reaction to occupation. That's kind of what makes this conflict a tough nut to crack.

I think you don't really know what you are talking about. First, consider: while the people in the photos may not have joined the military yet, all of them know they are no more than a year or two away from being given a uniform and a gun.

Even the ruling elite isn't particularly religious. The haredi (Ultra Orthodox) parties have, uh, fallen from grace to a pretty substantial degree. They still have some representation in in the cabinet of ministers, as that's how things work in a parliamentary system, but they are now a small factor in the Knesset.

Why do you link religiosity to support for Israel? The vast majority of Israelis are deeply secular and non-religious. They regard being Jewish as an ethnicity, not unlike most American Jews.
