Yeah, people have been talking about it long enough that there is a word for it, and has been for probably 50 or more years: “Testilying”.

Lying to law enforcement in order to obscure a crime is pretty serious. Attorneys get disbarred for that.

The same reason most people aren’t given criminal charges for crashing into other cars while using their phones, unless aggravating factors are involved (like alcohol use, or that they were fleeing from law enforcement when they did it).

I’m guessing that they assume the bodycam footage will be “lost” or that they will just report it was never turned on.

And hilariously there are still people who are against body cams. The only reasoning I’ve ever seen anyone use is “they’ll just turn them off” and like, make that a punishable offense then?? There’s literally no reason not to want police officers to have body cams unless you are overtly against holding them…

This country’s gun culture is fucking off-the-rails absurd. 

I would totally shop at the “Boobs and Whatnot” store

The amount of outright lying exposed by cops since the invention of the bodycam is truly startling. They know they are being recorded, and yet still lie constantly and commit crimes, to the point that basically anything before, say 2010 or thereabouts, we should assume all the cops lied all the time, about everything.…

I have made some really, really bad videos and Powerpoint presentations to show my students what not to do, and to illustrate how gratuitous effects and attempts at “humour” can nullify the usefulness of any actual content. That TSA video checks every “don’t” box, and then takes it to another level altogether. I have…

WTF did I just see?

They got Moo Deng, Mariah, Pepe the Prawn and Elmo? I’m not watching the video, but based on the thumbnail that’s wild.

There’s an entire movie that shows why it’s a really bad idea to bring snakes on a plane. Come on, people. Do better. 

That is a terrible video.

As a university professor, I will say that teaching undergraduate snotlings is never repetitive because every year those beasts find new and inventive ways to make life frustrating. It’s like driving an Alfa.

Thank you! There are way too many questions than answers thus far. The 737 has enough redundancies that it seems implausible that the aircraft post-bird strike was somehow controllable down to the runway, but not controllable enough to deploy the gear (which has a manual gravity drop function) or the flaps, which also…

Still no decent explanations on so many aspects of this:

Pobody’s nerfect, a my mom’s coffee cup like to remind me every morning as a kid.

Those who prefer glass fields shouldn’t throw stones.

Agreed. I prefer landing in glass half full fields.

You can avoid a bird strike if you just give their union regular salary hikes....
