Yep, the cop was acting appropriately for the situation at hand. The car was pointed right at them after they got hit. If he hit the gas at that point it could have killed someone. His actions were either intentionally dangerous or grossly negligent, and still dangerous. Note that the officer kept his trigger finger…

your car is a deadly weapon, the driver had just used it to hit another car, I am 100% okay with the police officer drawing his weapon on the driver of the car.

It’s so poetic, that a platform like Gizmodo, which spreads a certain political propaganda and disguises opinion articles as journalism, tries to smear another platform, one that is not directed by a political agenda. Matt Novak certainly sounds like speaking on behalf of someone else.
Like someone’s little bitch.

I wonder how many people here are jumping on the train of all of the athletes who tweeted stupid stuff back in the day. You can’t have it both ways and say well just because overall I like this person so I am going to ignore the horrible shit they said on Twitter.

People can be in the greys and think that you are all acting like children AND still be progressive. We celebrate every racist that gets fired for their bad tweets so put on your big boy pants.

I think your comment is tongue-in-cheek. Most people at this point understand that Asian test scores must be lowered due to their leisure time privilege. They are able to dedicate much more time than other races to studying. That is privilege. And it is right that their scores should be universally lowered to erase…

Couldn’t have said it better myself. The law allows free flowing ideas. Just because you don’t like the ideas of bombs, guns, pot, rap music doesn’t mean you get to censor them. The ability to make a firearm is 500 years old. You can’t cork the genie back in the bottle.  Ultimately, this ruling will be used by other…

Frankly this is a first amendment issue. There is nothing illegal about making a gun in your home, even in most states with extreme gun control (you just have to get a permit first). Heck even if it were illegal, the first amendment protects the ability to distribute those plans, just like with bombs and other items.

Id star you except for the dart you threw at "white land owners". I wouldn't exactly associate farmers with the privileged classes.

Well, it was the cops, yelling stop, loudly and clearly enough for Mr. Blevins to acknowledge it with a clear response, and yet he keeps running....???? That’s always just the craziest choice. Anybody think the cops should give-up on the chase? Even if he didn’t have a gun, he should have stopped, but he didn’t stop…

We begged police to wear body cameras to protect both the public and themselves.  Despite the video evidence, we still want these two officers punished.  Shouldn’t we pick our battles to avoid Tawana Brawleying an otherwise righteous cause?

A convicted felon with a rap sheet down to his ankles who was drinking liquor, shooting his gun into the air and had a gun in his waist and was running from cops.

Man had a gun running from Police. What if that man took the gun and killed a bunch of people? Run from Police and they’ll shoot you, teach your kids that when they say Freeze you become a statue. 

For once, you don’t know what you’re talking about.

So, to be clear...  a football player for a major University and brother to NFL player treated a police car like his own personal taxi service........ And, the COPS are the assholes?

Tough case to crack in regards to treason. Won’t happen. 

continuous improvement is not unique to tesla though. i work in auto industry and i can tell you all major automakers change parts throughout the life of the vehicle. design engineers usually design and release parts so that new parts are backwards compatible. Also if you know the part number, all parts have some sort…

Can you please just leave politics out of it? I come here, or to the AV Club for entertainment NOT political commentary. 

So now LIW is genuinely horrible? You’re not going to find a sinless, perfect idol anywhere - so that’s why they shouldn’t be idols. But there is no reason to tear down the honors given for someone’s contribution to the world.  Her work is valuable even if one of its uses were to teach about historical racism.

I’m sorry, but this kind of crap is why Trump is president.  You don’t get to gloss over history for it not being woke enough.
