Not saying it would have made a difference. When in an emergency do not tell someone the acronym of the random ass disability the person has. In stead say they are disabled and use layman terms. TBI means nothing to me and I am sure it meant nothing to the cops. In fact a miscommunication could make TBI sound like the…

Tunnel vision or target fixation in high adrenaline circumstances is pretty common. I’ve personally experienced it before.

Would you pay attention to a person yelling from another part of the car or a guy in front of you with a gun who is not following your instructions? I’d be staring right at the guy with the gun. I don’t feel I would shoot someone with intention of killing them in that situation though. I’d have a hard time shooting…

yeah they are trained to stop focusing on what may or may not be a threat and just do whatever some random person says..

In all likelihood, they were not listening to her, no. I wouldn’t be surprised if they barely heard her. Their collective adrenaline levels were likely so high that it was all they could do to say what they were saying.

I think she was too far away for them to really hear her.

I think it’s pretty obvious from the video that he hit the kid

If he did or didn’t have a gun, it won’t matter by the time the evidence comes out- the damage from the riots has already been done.

This is rough. Sounds like the officers legitimately believe he had a gun. Whatever he had he did not drop. An officer tells me to drop anything and I’m dropping everything. Including my pants.

but how will this video effect Brad Pitt’s reputation

Black cop shoots black guy, so blacks riot, loot, burn, and attack white people. Black woman paints herself white.

Tim Lincecum seems to be a pretty fair comparison, tbh he’s shorter and skinnier and won the Cy Young.

Cause this 5"9 dude totally didn’t win a few cy youngs or anything...

Because she’s trans. Nobody here would give a fuck otherwise.

No. They could do more illustrations, though.

I’m sorry, but she’s fucking whining. The rules may be stupid, but she’s IN JAIL. What does she expect? She’s embarrassed because shes been disciplined? Ugh.

Right? Holy shit she’s such a fucking handful.

I don’t quite get the outrage over Chelsea Manning. She leaked classified information and received punishment for it. I feel bad that she seems to have severe mental health issues (not referring to her gender identity here), but why are we making her a martyr? She seems like a royal pain in the ass prisoner.  

I’m pretty sure it’d be exactly the same. My last company before this one required all men to have haircuts above their collar and no beards whatsoever (mustaches were okay, because apparently we had to be able to star in a 70's porn if necessary).

Fashion =/= Professional.
