The Russians know white Americans better than white Americans know themselves.

If anyone stole my car, even if the police didn’t ever find them they got what they deserve.

yeah, they should make settlements come out of police funds, then you will see that the “bad cops” will start getting called out

Not one of the cops went “hmmm this plate number matches a stolen motorcycle, and this is a minivan. Let’s look into this for 10 more seconds before we go GIJOE on this family”

The Aurora police claim the license plate of the family’s minivan matched the license plate of a motorcycle from Montana that had been reported as stolen.

That family is going to remember the way those really stupid cops made them feel for the rest of their lives. Nothing like making them lie down, tied up on the ground in front of a (growing) crowd.  The rest of us will be looking at the Aurora cops with justified scorn.  Lose-lose for everyone.

It’s not the license plate reader that decided that recovering a stolen car required combat tactics. That was a human decision. 

even if someone stole a car, is this how they deserve to be treated? acab

A friend spent two days in lockup because a local cop had the reading skills of an ameoba.

You can’t justify having a six-year old lay down on the ground. That’s fucking disgusting.

Fix the headline. It wasn’t even a car they were looking for, it was a MOTORCYCLE. This is absolutely inexcusable.

Constantine is a really good movie. It’s just that the main character isn’t John Constantine. He’s some dude who is named “Constantine,” but has almost none of the actual characteristics of the comic book Constantine. Which, again, doesn’t make the movie or the character bad — hell, this is one of Keanu’s better…

the trump administration is deploying BORDER PATROL to arrest people. but they’re totally not gestapo. definitely not.

If police, or anyone purporting to act under color of state authority, refuses to identify themselves and otherwise takes active steps to conceal their identity and/or the specific identity of the agency they work for, here is what the consequences should be: (1) anything that anyone who does to resist being assaulted…

Other reports say Gokada wasn’t doing well and had just done laid off a majority of their staff, so... really could be either

Wondering if the assistant stole the money before or after that happened, and where he stole it from.  

It sounds like he either pitied the guy and wanted to give him a break rather than having him go to jail, or was worried he might do damage to the company on his way out.

How would you feel about a hacker registry? Or maybe a registry for people who know how to pick locks? How about a registry for people who know Karate? How about a registry for people who can count cards? Or one for people at a certain IQ level. Why shouldn’t the government register everyone’s fingerprints?

The anti-mutant mania in the X-Men movies is an aspect of the series that always gotten on my nerves. They ostensibly exist in the Marvel superhero universe where other metahumans exist (even if we don’t see them), right? But you don’t really see that kind of attitude from the public in other Marvel (meaning…

I remember in X3 where Storm says that they don’t need a cure and that they’re fine the way they are while standing right next to a woman who can’t have physical contact with anyone without putting them in a coma.

Ok yeah I’ll admit that bit was kind of a silly argument and I’ll concede on that. But still, mutant legislation would be too difficult to enforce fairly if everyone’s treated the same.
