He should have eaten that bullet before getting his throat shaved.

This guy encapsulated my thoughts pretty much exactly. The overwhelming majority of the Gawker network is a complete fucking joke. I feel like it’s only a matter of time before Kotaku, Jalopnik and Gizmodo get completely overtaken by the prevailing unoriginal, warped group-think that begins over at Gawker and Jezebel.

You people are a complete joke lol.

remember, you cant call islam a hate group cause every muslim is arab makimg it racist to say, but gamergate is a hate group cause everyone in it is straight white and male. which isnt racism cause white people deserve it

I think that liberals in the west often conflate Muslims with people of colour, which isn't exactly inaccurate, it's just a particular flavour of ignorance that compels them to reflexively defend a certain people who have experienced a legacy of oppression and injustice.

I'm getting tired of all this stuff. Every time someone gets killed whos black everyone freaks out and assumes the cop is guilty no matter what. Yet all the non-blacks that get killed never make it to national news, even if they were innocent people. Whites don't have privilege here, blacks do. It seems in the end…

Notice the word OR at the beginning? Of course I am bringing up a theory that does not go with your preconceived notions of what YOU think is the truth. Forgive me. Thats the interesting thing about open-mindedness. It is supposed to apply to ideas that you may not agree with as much as the ones you already do.

Oh, absolutely, I do not doubt that their are some bad apples like in any job. I know I work with some idiots. It's just the stereotyping of an entire profession saying that they are all brutal (or even most of them) would not be acceptable in any other job but for cops, which is annoying. Watch someone on Gawker…

Body Cams won't mean shit. I lot of these stories (this one included) sound biased towards those killed. They sound like we need body cameras as proof that cops DID commit a crime. They shouldn't be viewed that way. It should be a 2-way street. The cameras should be protection for cops and victims equally.

I've been mostly critical of the technology so far because it doesn't ever lead to convictions of police officers.

OR, maybe just break a false stereotype about an entire profession that just wants to harm everyone for no reason. But I am well aware that posting unpopular views is not liked by many on the internet.

The whole article was written as if exonerating cops was a bug in this system, rather than a feature. Exonerating police officers that acted appropriately is a good thing, and keeps more, better cops on the streets. It's arguably as important as condemnation of bad cops.

Quick tips on never being shot by a police officer in the US:

I wondered about this, too, from his description of the LA cell phone footage. It reads as if Mario is saying, "If we had only the cell phone video, in which you can't see the guy go for a cop's gun, they'd be toast. Unfortunately, the body cams might show that, which would be bad." Lots of people who interact…

This is Gawker. I wouldn't call their opinions "varying" except to the extent to which they keep finding new ways to complain about police.

You can sort of see Berry with his gun, but it's frankly too dark to make much of anything out.

These cameras are definitely not going to be popular if they limit people's freedom to break the law.

Jesus fucking Christ, is there no pleasing you kind of people???

The K-ball thingy is not entirely separate... because the McNally Incident* is reportedly what instigated Mike Kensil to take the Patriots’ footballs inside to be checked. Which itself is weird, because the NFL rules say it is the referees’ sole responsibility to ensure proper inflation of the footballs. And Kensil…

Yes. "Rogue Pats employee tried to slip unapproved ball into the game!" That was ESPN's hot take. Turns out it's "thieving NFL official tries to steal K-ball from game." Oops. Good job, good effort, ESPN.
