I’m curious what he said to the police when he called them. Was he honest in explaining the situation? If so, why did the police respond at all? The response should have been “that is not a police issue”. If he (let’s be exceeding nice and say) “mischaracterized” the situation, why was he not held accountable for…

An unarmed black person fleeing the scene was six times more likely than a white person to be killed by a police officer.

They wait generally because they can’t afford to get them taken care of. One of the reasons people go to her is because if they get on the show, they get the procedure for free (they might even pay them, but I’m not sure about that). For a lot of these things, people can’t afford to get them taken care of because…

I am in this situation, but it is because of Windows Media Center. I still use WMC for TV viewing (I have a TV card in the system with an antenna attached to it) and as my main DVR. I have looked and found nothing out there that comes even close to WMC for this purpose. When this PC dies, I think I am going to have to…

Their form isn’t ruined by being pregnant, it is ruined by crossfit. Crossfit values reps over form. If you ever see crossfit people so “pull ups” it is the most ridiculous thing ever. 

He totally meant a bundle of sticks. That is the worst insult you can call someone.

On a more serious note, I have never understood this justification. The whole reason it is an insult is that you are saying the straight person is gay. You can’t say you used it as an insult, but not in a homophobic way. It just…

So when are we deporting Betsy DeVos?

I have to disagree with this. Maybe it is just Google phones, but I have never had a screen scratch on me and I constantly have my phone in my pocket with my keys. I have had a couple broken screens from drops (I never had a case or screen protector until this phone) and the back of some of the phone scratch (mainly…

I’m not saying Manning is correct in her claim they won’t allow her books, but why should we believe the facility that is holding her and accused of withholding books over Manning? They have a just as much interest in the claim as Manning (technically more since they are the ones accused of wrongdoing), so why would…

I can’t complain too much about making them pay it back. While I would be fine with them not making them do that, I can understand why it is needed. If the mistake was the opposite with an underpayment, we would certainly insist the district pay the extra. But my issue is with asking them to pay it in one lump sum. If…

As much as I appreciate the sentiment and think stay at home parents are important, I hate these calculators. As a stay at home parent, you are not a nurse. Not unless you have all the training that comes with it. Same thing for psychologist or teacher. These calculators do not help the conversation because stay at…

So what exactly is the worry about hacked TVs? I realize that if they have a camera and/or mic them getting hacked would allow access to that, but the one thing that is never covered is how it would get hacked. Is the worry someone downloading a bad app or something onto the TV? Or the manufacturer getting hacked and…

While blonde+skinny=beautiful is a rule, there is a higher rule that says for women, old=ugly which trumps it. Kellyanne Conway looks old, so therefore she is not seen as beautiful. I wish people would stop attacking her for her age or looks as that is shit that isn’t needed. There is more than enough dumb crap coming…

There is still a lot of 2-2 for shorter flights. I fly out of Cincinnati and almost every flight I take is a 2-2. These flights are usually fairly short (Chicago, Minneapolis, etc.) and almost every flight is a 2-2 where I have to gate check my normal size carry on.

And it is very likely there may be cases coming from those as well (or maybe they were settled quietly already). Even the police admit he was terrible (to put it mildly), but I guess you don’t truth the police in this case?

You mean like the one mentioned in this very article that the police department settled? Those lawsuits?

Dragonfliet nailed it. His “first offense” was finally admitting he had been cheating for years, including all the major titles he won. It was the first time he was caught after years of doing it. In that case, I can see a lifetime ban, and would support it here if Jarvis had been found to have been cheating in…

I can’t think of any “physical athletics” that would ban someone for life on a first offense. Look at professional sports. You can use peds, beat your girlfriend, go to jail for dogfighting, etc. and still not be banned for life. I definitely think he should have been banned, but a lifetime ban for a first offence…

The answer is to be not white and do something to a white person. That seems to be the key to getting the police actually held to account for the things they do.

While this is a good start (because I’m not even going to pretend they would consider criminal charges), what about the other officers that were there? They stood by while this was happening and didn’t stop it, so shouldn’t they be disciplined as well?
