Which is another fine argument for better gun control. Another aspect of America that seems pretty crazy from Japanese eyes. Speaking as a Japanese person.

Way to misread an absolutely unmistakable stance provided within my comment.

One difference is that in Japan the vast majority of the population is not armed, even most of the hardened criminals are not armed because getting obtaining and hiding a weapon is too much work. As a result police answering calls dont have to be constantly asking “are they armed”. where as in the states not only are…

Truly everyone in this story is shit, except for one person, and somehow he’s the one who ends up dead.

The prevalence of this attitude is what makes the American police terrifying. The US is virtually unique among developed countries in it’s willingness to allow the police to gun down their own citizens. 

Percentage of fault divided among those involved:

Technically, he was murdered, not executed.

trigger happy police, this would never happen in europe. Better trained officers

I came here to say the same thing. The police and the caller are both criminally liable. If a man answers the door peacefully and is then exexuted, that is terrible police recruiting / training / practice. We now know from the Daniel Shaver case that police are eager to open fire, and treat civilian lives as…

All true. I grew up in a law enforcement family.

There are rules, regulations, and training programs that pertain to trigger discipline.

They fail more often than they should.

That said, if the dipshit who made the call hadn’t been butthurt over a fucking game, this particular instance of awfulness wouldn’t have…

The SWAT officer who pulled the trigger is to blame. The person who called the fake incident into the police is to blame. The person who passed along the victim’s address is to blame.

Everything in America is a fucking scam.

Remember when “Support The Troops” meant supporting the men and women serving in the armed forces and not the war merchants of the military industrialized complex?!? Yeah, me neither.

so brilliantly summed up..

Just Ranting

And to all those who will start screeching about norms & customs when Mueller is dismissed, why do you still have any faith left in the apparatus and legitimacy of the state? No one went to jail over lying about weapons of mass destruction, and no one went to jail over the financial crisis. It is only liberty and…

Haha exactly. “How to enable Apple apps on an Android”.... buy an iPhone. :P

This is really the BLUF of the article - “As long as you have one of those Android phones and you’re in range of a Gigabit LTE signal it should work automatically.” Title is misleading, like you’re going to tell me how to/enable gigabit but really I just need to buy a new phone.

Nowhere in this article does it say “how” to actually get it. It says how to get “less than 1gbps” from a carrier. SSDD. The 4g connection is specced at 1Gbit/s for walking and stationary and 100Mbit/s for high speed travelling endpoints. Just more marketing schmucks being marketing schmucks.

I read an article not too long ago (forget from where) that was basically describing how data caps on wireless carriers are hindering the progression on certain aspects of the internet. For instance for websites (of even apps) to have you continue to use their service as much as you can before your billing cycle ends,…
