Some people like solving mysteries. Solving a mystery can be more interesting than all the "other games they can play right now"

I really like the improvements to the series, particularly the parkour down button because climbing down was slow and annoying in very other AC game.

Totally agree. People can shit on less than stellar games like Remember Me or Lords of Shadow all they want, but at least they commit to inhabiting the world they've created and maintaining a consistent tone.

So you're a cop? No one really cares for your input on this subject then, we know where you people stand...and it's not with us citizens.

I agree. Local police ought to patrol in Abrahms tanks loaded with fletchette rounds or WP+HE. Its safer for all concerned. Also, access to reaper drones and mobile arty would make it a lot easier for the police to get good effect on target in Watts, Compton, etc. They could 'take out' gang leaders with a JDAM on his…

So let me guess - even though your "cousin" had requested "Shoot Brown Children" duty, he'd been assigned to the "Impede Media Access" task force. That poor guy...

I hope your cousin did the right thing then. Shot the baby right? It could have had a bomb in its diaper.

Why are they even arresting someone for selling a lose cigarette? Just write the guy a ticket. It's a minor quality of life/retail tax crime. Police officers have latitude for discretion. By all accounts, the guy was a helpful member of society and helped keep the peace - he had just broken up a fight.

Police need to…

for the love of peanut butter jelly sandwich. It wasn't "kill the police". It was "no justice, no peace"

Go kill yourself you racist piece of shit.

Well, gee, I've had guns since I was twelve and the first thing you learn is you don't point a gun at something you don't intend on killing. I guess a twelve year old has better fire discipline than a bunch of beat cops that want to play soldier.

Fucking oldest fallacy in the book, that you cannot criticize something that you've not actively done before. I was party to a job far more harrowing, being in military service during the latest Iraq war. So don't try and patronize me with this "you haven't been there" nonsense. Like other veterans, and especially as…

What I'm saying is police are not the military. They aren't quasi military, they aren't mercenaries. Their job is not further a political agenda via force. They are to protect and serve. When you're geared up to the gills to meet a civilian threat where maybe the craziest thing you're going to encounter is small…

Your use of "they" is vague since it lumps both potential protestors and looters together. I never denied that a few people were looting. I said that most of the people are peaceful protesters being watched over by heavily armed police - which has been reported:

The "aftermath" that followed it, aka the equivalent to marshal law being imposed in some areas without Presidential order to do so? Police entering houses, sometimes by force, without warrants?

What a load of bullshit, cops know what they are getting into. There's zero fucking reason for a police department in small towns to have MRAP, let alone a SWAT team. You know what kills the most cops? Traffic accidents. Deaths of cops by gunfire is in the twenties or so last year. The rise of soldier cop needs to…

Cops in regular uniforms, helmets and night sticks handled way worse than this in the race riots of the 60's. Modern crowd control is armor, shields and tear gas. The point here is these guys look like they are going to war, with tons of spare ammo and tactical killing gear. They don't look like they are there to…

The above images and video were tall taken in Ferguson, Missouri this week, as protests rock the town in the wake of the shooting of an unarmed teenager. More notable than the protests themselves, however, has been the police response, which as you can see, has been on the heavy-handed side.

Wow, good article. Food for thought.

Yeah, those protesters looked really armed. As in their arms were up. In the air. Empty-handed.
