Doesn’t negate the fact that the ones the need protection of ‘qualified immunity’ are far outnumbered by the officers that do their job as well as anyone can expect, given the dynamics.
Removing/adjusting qualified immunity also doesn’t negate flippant comments about cops not caring if they have to kill someone.

A lot of people seem to be hanging onto that statement. If I could clarify I would say no sane and reasonable person wants to take a life. There are tolls to pay even if you are completely justified. Police DO take lives in ways that are absolutely infuriating, I only mean to say that I feel for officers who are asked…

Speaking from broad personal experience and knowledge of LEO’s? That’s a knee jerk to headlines, not a reflection of the realities in law enforcement.

I don’t know what that means, but Google says it’s a part number for Caterpillar.

I’m extremely ACAB, but if police body cam footage shows this guy had unholstered a gun, I have to wonder what he expected was going to happen.

Lets make sure to cover the rest of the story from the trib

With the stupid ideas from tech bros that had ridiculous money tossed at them this sounds like a money printing endeavor.  

Did you watch the inboard, he really didn’t have time to react, I would not blame him for this.  Instead he reacted the best he could and decided to crash into the wall instead of risking going low and likely hitting the McLaren. 

The complex of turns leading to the banked left is narrow, quick, and largely blind turn after blind turn. The yellow indicator was in a part of the track where it was easily missed, and Piastri crashed in an odd part of the circuit litereally 2 seconds before Riccardo was heading in full steam. I think its what…

According to the team themselves, it was determined he fractured a single metacarpal in his left hand. Significantly less dire than a broken wrist. He’ll likely be back in the car for the next GP if all feels well.

Another case of Elon trying to sound smart while being completely out of touch. Guy’s an absolute dipshit if he doesn’t understand how this simply isn’t possible at the scale.

“All parts for this vehicle, whether internal or from suppliers, need to be designed and built to sub 10 micron accuracy.​”

I test materials for high purity process orbital welding and we don’t even get to those tolerances. Every time he pretends to be an engineer or manufacturing genius I have to laugh. If this is indicative of their work and QC, they’re going to be in a world of hurt.

To put this into perspective, a regular piece of printer paper is about 90 microns thick, so Elon expects a whole damn car to be accurate to within roughly 1/10 the thickness of a piece of paper. That’s not possible on a consumer vehicle. Hell, even that recent $30,000,000 Rolls Royce wouldn’t have tolerances that…

Elon is a fucking moron.

Just making flat panels is a giant PITA. Should have put even a little surface curvature on that stainless steel. It’s going to look like extra shit in no time as it age flexes and/or collects impacts of any kind.

This is actually good news because his group was actually more effective than the Russian military. So now Putin killed one of the few people who seemed to know what they were doing. So good. Fuck him and Fuck Putin.

It absolutely is that special.

Not to be pedantic, but it was actually on display on the dock next to the Intrepid, not on the carrier itself. While Intrepid started off with just Navy planes, they did start adding planes that were never used on carriers...or could never be used on a carrier...such as a Space Shuttle (in an enclosure at the back of…

I always “love” when people point this out.
