Really? The guy is stopped originally for expired tags. Fair? The officer is then informed that there is a warrant out for his ARREST. As the officers are cuffing him, he resists arrest and tries to escape. In that moment the officer makes a decision to taser him but pulls her gun instead. Did she mean to taser him?…

And there is some news not heard before (at least by me). The man was stopped not just for having a dangling air freshner but also because he had expired license tags - which makes more sense. I would also be stopped for that and have been. And then they discover that there is also a current warrant out for his…

You are correct. The Queen has no role in the running of the government. The ‘Red Box’ is delivered to her daily which is like a briefing. All the business of parliament is contained therein and it is her duty to review everything and understand the direction the government will likely take. Sometimes she gets to put…

Just trying to figure it out. I’m not from the US and we don’t have this proliferation of gun crime - with or without police involvement. I watched CNN (I think) yesterday and the ‘expert’ that was discussing the incident went into a big rant about how it was just about impossible to pull out a gun when you intended…

Royalty has pretty much always been out of touch with the common folk. Nothing new there. Victoria was an icon of ‘out of touch’. All the residual good feeling that is left is because Liz’s parents were stalwart during the second world war and were seen as behaving in a heroic manner to uplift and support their…

Yes, I did read about the taser/gun protocol. And it is a tragedy that this happened. However there is a pretty big gap between bad error and murder. There are many parties out there saying it was not likely accidental. They don’t actually come out and say homicide but they certainly suggest that she knew the…

Well if, in fact, she was badly trained and pulled the wrong gun that is certainly one concern. But the media is definitely implying that she did not make a mistake - in which case they are concluding (so far) that she intentionally shot the guy... cause he was black.

One certainly hears the argument about the monarchy propping up tourism but I don’t really get that one. Its not as if any of us going to England or Scotland hoping we might bump into the Queen. The royal palaces, the crown jewels, the art collections - they will still all exist and tourists will all come to view them…

That made me laugh!

The media made a big deal about how she was a veteran and even trained other officers in the field so this wouldn’t make sense if that is correct. 

Yes, I know he wasn’t doing anything suspicious. Just trying to understand what was firing through Potter’s mind to bring about this horrific conclusion.

Apparently the BBC received a record number of complaints about giving over the airwaves to continuous coverage of Philip’s death. Viewers were very upset that their favorite shows had been pre-empted. Also upset that Andrew had been given air time (he looks like shite BTW).  So the Royal family might want to take…

So I thought there was something Potter did?

I’m pushing back on hospital personnel. I have been in hospitals plenty of times and I cannot tell who is the doc, who is the nurse, who is the cleaner, and who delivers the meals. They ALL dress in scrubs and have some kind of ID hanging around their necks.

Debate suggests that those idiots actually knew enough about something to actually discuss it

I’m puzzled as to why someone would take a glamour selfie in front of a bathroom stall.

You know you must be the creepiest man currently in the USA when even Trump won’t take your calls.

I have always had an interest in British Royalty cause the stories are pretty fascinating. All that murder, intrigue, crazy sexual liaisons, castles, theft, jewels etc. Also come from the commonwealth. But honestly my reaction to Philip’s demise was ... oh well.
