Show me where the cop had body cam footage. I’ve yet to see it. Even still, it’s just speeding. Civil infraction, a fine, points on your license, you go home.

Again, you’re arguing against things I didn’t say. At no point in ANY of my responses did I say the pursuit was uncalled for. I said if the goal of the pursuit…

It’s badly worded, but the heir to the throne being referenced is Charles, not Andrew.

It’s intimating that all of the scandals are making it difficult for Charles’ presumed ascension once Elizabeth II dies. Andrew is rather far down the succession, since he’s behind Charles, William, George, Charlotte, Louis, Harry, Ar…

Counterpoint: being charged with a crime doesn’t mean you committed the crime. We have an entire judicial process to adjudicate guilt, of which being accused/charged is merely the first step.

Further, having an open container in the car doesn’t mean you’re actively drunk. In an alternate scenario where none of this…

People speed all the goddamn time. Go on any highway and you’ll find 9/10 people speeding. So get out of here with the pearl clutching about a driver speeding (which, again, no proof of aside from the words of the cops).

I’m not defending the driver not complying with the police, or pulling off. Nowhere did I do that.…

Yeah. It’s telling that their initial statement didn’t involve something to the effect of, “We pulled the driver over due to his driving erratically, swerving in and out of lanes, and our suspicion that he was DUI.”

They said, outright, they pulled him over for speeding. And as you said, him being drunk was a little…

The intent, in this case, doesn’t particularly matter.

As someone in a different thread stated (and what I and others could intimate based upon simple logic), but the state of Georgia has guidelines concerning police pursuits, and when certain techniques such as a PIT maneuver should be used. One of the clear times it s…

You’re exactly right, and it’s astounding how many people, such as Cheap-Bastard, can’t understand this simple reality.

Looking at every situation and assuming it’s the worst-case scenario leads to people making decisions based on confirmation biases, which may or may not be correct in the end, but cannot logically be…

You’re right.

If the driver was alone, I’m okay with the PIT maneuver, even though it’s risky as all hell.

With kids in the car, and not knowing whether or not they’re wearing seat belts? The PIT maneuver should’ve automatically been off the table. Even if the driver was drunk, driving erratically, and speeding, it’s…

There’s no way that the initial cop wouldn’t know there were already two kids in the car.

How could the cop request the driver to roll down the window and not see the kids in the car? It was 1am. The cop would’ve had his flashlight out, along with the headlights of the cop car, as he approached the Kia. He would’ve imme…

To your last point, if the cops could determine that he was under the influence (how that could be conclusively determined without a breathalyzer, a field sobriety test, or interacting with the man, and yet they needed to break his window, is logically incoherent), they could ALSO determine that the kid didn’t have on…

If the officer is seriously concerned that the driver is a danger to others, particularly the kids in the car, simply follow the car.

If it’s moving slow enough where you can do a PIT maneuver, the car is driving slow enough where you can simply tail the car. Call in the vehicle with a description. You’ve already ran…

Nah, can’t buy this.

If you suspect the person of driving drunk, but don’t actually have evidence of them driving drunk (or actively committing any illegal activity), run their plates, get their information from the computer, tail them for as long as you need to, and eventually they’ll come to a stop.

Crashing into a…

To your first point, this is very true, as it is true for many African tribes as well. However, the difference is that Native Americans and most African tribes were/are still extant, and didn’t either die out completely (as what happened with many Central and South American peoples), nor did they become assimilated to…

The only people in his corner are people who would directly (that is, monetarily) benefit from him being innocent.

Even his own ex-wife and the mother of his children, Andrea, has come out against him, and they’ve been divorced for a short enough time that she might still be collecting alimony, alimony that’s only paid…

You’re right about there still being evidence that predates the written compendiums such as the Prose Edda, but even then, that evidence is filtered through the written prism, because of course it is. For example.

Let’s say you’re a person from a remote island in the South Pacific who has never had any interaction with…

Considering that the original iterations of The Legend of Zelda, Metroid, Mega Man, and Castlevania, were all released within one year of one another (1986-1987), I don’t know if you can necessarily put a title that pays credence to one or two without including all four, especially since they were all developed by…

Here’s the thing: without written history, it’s damn near impossible to discern any of the actual passage and development of the mythology in any meaningful way, especially as it refers to any degree of transposition or syncrentism of myths from foreign cultures.

It’s all well and good to acknowledge the “actual”…

Just off the top of my head, and in reference to your main point, both were the children of Gods (in Achilles, a demigod, and Baldr, a full god), who were granted immense power if not outright invulnerability save for one weakness brought about by the rather careless actions of their doting mothers (Baldr being weak…

Honestly, I have no expectations for Resurrections. None. And that’s a good thing.

22 years is a long time. Not for nothing, they’re also dropping the movie on 12-22-21. It’s a Palindrome. Same forwards as backwards. Hell, the 22 year gap, specifically the number 22, is the same backwards as forwards. Fits in with the…

Blade Runner: 2049 was fantastic and is, in my opinion, the best sci-fi movie to have been released in the last 10 years.

I also think it’s a bit silly to use the paradigm of cultural impact to assess the significance of certain genres of movies, specifical sci-fi. When the original Blade Runner was released, the best…
