The lady is doing business as a contractor, sort of a business in essence, not an employee, and commercial speech does not enjoy so much protection as individual liberties. Technically, as an individual, Amawahi probably can’t be restricted from boycotting Israel, in her personal life, but anything relating to her…

First of all, there was an outstanding warrant for alleged card fraud in NJ as I recall, and that alone would be a basis for apprehending her and taking her to the station. Other than that, it seems that government office has rules against resting on the floor and if they are not followed, then they want people to…

Ultimately, the child may not be going to the police station, and picking them both up at once is probably not an authorized use of force and involves additional risks and liabilities. Carefully supporting and pulling arms apart? They might be piled on her like a football scrum trying to do that. That might not look…

And if you discovered there was an outstanding warrant from NJ for alleged card fraud while you were there?

I didn’t specifically read in the story that the cops did not attempt to negotiate. What gives police no choice in this situation was not merely that an administrator called that the lady refused to get up off the floor or leave, but that there was an outstanding warrant on the woman. Even if they go in with no…

Granted that it might have been a better decision not to call the police, but once that call was placed, a call the police did not make, cops have limited options to respond and none are flattering to them. Suppose you went home from work and found a strange woman, clinging to a child in your home. Would that woman…

The need for robot pickers is greatest, because of the Trump agricultural worker shortage.  But, when I look at the image of the apple picker shown here, it looks too slow and ponderous.  But, I think the problem with this one is design, not that the task is too challenging for today’s technology.

Maybe Miller is using Bigen to be relatable.  Does it come in a matte finish?

If you are a NYPD officer and you are required to arrest a woman who resists while holding a baby, and cuff her hands behind her back, put her in a squad car and take her to the Police Station for booking, then how do you do that in a way that won’t be met by public approbation?  A government office called the NYPD…

The food I eat and air I breathe contain isotopes from open air nuclear tests performed in the 1940's and beyond.  There is still a measurable risk of radio nuclides contributing to cancer.  Sure, for most of us, it might be one in a hundred million, but all people with cancer and who have relatives with cancer, or…

You have to go to the site of the embassy of your destination, anyway, unless it is visa free. For many countries, you can look of visa requirements for citizens of particular countries on Wikipedia and have been able to, for years. Visa requirements change frequently, so don’t completely rely on anything without…

That there are fewer ladies being played does not mean women are getting less air time. It could be the same air time and Taylor Swift 24/7. Anyway, isn’t this publication supposed to be more concerned about Black, Trans and Asian artists not getting a fair shake, and hate on white women with the exception of the…

If they put a lot of infrastructure, like a hospital and better manned holding center at the location where the little girl and her fellows were found, then would everyone cross there to stay with ICE and contractors, or would undocumented  look for a remote place to enter where they would not be falling right into…

Why isn’t she Babushka Becky?

Wypipo are already using DNA tests for that:

From my Republican perspective, I would be O.K. with it if the much more destructive capital gains taxes went away. It would have to be small enough so people would not make it a decisive factor in deciding to sell a financial instrument, maybe five percent of the Fed Discount Rate. It doesn’t sound like much, but if…

If you are in a crowded bar, a serious volume operation, and seated at a table, ordering juice or coffee or whatever, then that is where you are really going to be identified as a problem and dealt with. Sometimes you can stave that off by tipping generously, but not often. Your best bet to fly under the radar and…

I miss Ketchup being a vegetable.  It is almost back!

“lacking...(possibly) even opposable thumbs —” The Root has yet to discuss in detail who can or should describe whom as perhaps lacking these features that make us human instead of simian. Is this an expression like the “N” word that clearly wypipo can’t and should not use, but that POC can feel free to use with…

Everyone can depict Jesus as they wish in Western countries at least, regardless of how he is depicted by most white Christians. Will your next story include historical depictions of Mohammed and explore how POC react to them? Are white people’s representations of Jesus and insistence that he was Caucasian repressive…
