Reuters says Musk didn’t take questions at the end of the event, which is different from what he’s done in the past.

I understand the situation, but thanks for the clarification.

What do you assert is the risk of livestreaming a valid and lawful interaction between a civilian and sworn officer of the law?

Cops are worried about de-escalation? They can knock down your door, kill you, say oops we had the wrong address, and take a paid vacation for 2 weeks. I wish this was hyperbole. They can stop you for no reason and you could be dead in mere seconds with no recourse. This is America. This is qualified immunity. This is…

If we could just inject sunlight along with bleach into our bodies it would be so perfect. So beautiful, so perfect. That’s what I keep telling Melania. 

You’re missing the point. Livestreaming doesn’t endanger police, like at all.

It might help if you could actually make it easier to get a new Toyota.

The Winterville Police Department, however, argued that live streaming puts officers at risk by advertising to people associated with stopped drivers exactly where they are.

“Paul Jacobson also stated that the $2,000 savings in distribution will be passed along to the consumer”

He’s going to get taxed at 10% of what we are, and then continue to complain that he pays the most taxes of anyone ever in history

“run a sane agenda”

Agreed with all of this. When they start crying about it, just tell them “you’re individuals!! You can pull yourself up by your bootstraps!!!”
