But he does not fit the description of the terrorist. He is a completely different color and build.

Oh sorry, GIGN and FIPN must have missed the giant blinking sign above this guy's head that read "Not the Terrorist." They didn't do anything wrong. This was a chaotic active shooter situation with unknown involved subjects. There's no easy way for them to differentiate between who's involved and who's an escaping…

Why the fuck wouldn't they?

I find this French directed snark to be very poor form and premature. And hypocritical in the light of Ferguson and countless other issues about blacklivesmatter#. We have racism in the EU surprise surprise (who the fuck would say otherwise?). We also have people of colour who are in the police - two of whom were…

By then it was known that the female hostage-taker at the other location had escaped by pretending to be one of the released hostages, so a little prudence with a guy who could fit the description of the shooters doesn't seem untoward.

It does seem draconian. But, if you didn't secure him, and the worst came to pass, you would be trying to explain why you didn't, and people would be questioning your professionalism.

To be fair, even released hostages are typically detained until the cops can make sure they're not one of the gunman trying to escape.

To be fair, in an active shooting situation prudence and caution are important. I don't think I would wantonly send my officers into a situation that seems implausible: "Hey, I escaped from the store where people are being killed, but I've saved others in the basement. Come and rescue them right now" likely requires…

I think we all know the answer is because they are terrible people. I know that some people, especially when they are teens, think it's funny to piss lots of people off. It's not. They're just making the world a little worse.

You know what else would stop attacks like this? People not being dicks. Or said dicks finding something else better to do with their time.

This is like someone breaking into an art gallery and then, when ordinary people can't go to the gallery for 2 months because it's being repaired, claiming they just did it "to show that the owners should invest in some better security".

I can't wait to see the pictures of the police dragging those teens out of their mom's house and into a cop car.

Good for him. He made a fun game, he didn't rip anyone off. He's earned his money.

Those seem mutually exclusive so which do you mean; you think the guy who created one of the most popular and most played games out there doesn't deserve money he earned? Instead of saying just ugh fuck em maybe try what I do and wonder what you could learn from someone like that or you'll just be the guy saying your…

Your essay makes me uncomfortable. I honestly don't know how to help or be an ally. I work with kids in the family court system, either through abuse/neglect or juvenile delinquency/incorrigability. I want to fight for these kids, the majority of whom are POC. How do we do that without becoming a "good white person"?…

"Good white people" demonstrate the qualities that all good people demonstrate: kindness, empathy, compassion, thoughtfulness, unconditional love. These are the values I try to instill in my students; that parents try to instill in their children.

In actuality, there are problems in the black community that indisputably contribute to the problem. By ignoring those problems and mocking those who try to bring them to light, you become part of the problem.

No, you have missed the thrust of my argument. I meant that there are people who don't listen among all races and, to my knowledge, no one race is particularly better, or particularly worse, when it comes to listening.

Even from the initial video, I have always thought Ray Rice's body language outside the elevator spoke volumes. He acted like it was no big deal and didn't exhibit any degree of alarm in seeing his fiance's passed out body. In fact, he dragged her body like it was a rag doll. So I am not surprised by the video from ins…

How would you define "valid science" other than published in a peer reviewed journal? It may or may not ultimately turn out to be correct, but there doesn't seem to be anything wrong with the science.
