“Just how should they have approached him? The usual reason for overwhelming force is to convince the person that giving up is the only option, not to start a shoot-out.”

Rather than dismiss your comment as it deserves, or wasting my time replying again to someone who has demonstrated an inability to consider any ideas not originating in their own head, I’ll give the most polite response I can muster:

I’d like to clarify what you wrote... The well deserved bad reputation the cops have earned doesn’t matter. The fact that they ran up and grabbed a guy for something which is legal, until they can prove otherwise - something they readily admit - doesn’t matter.

Why are people ignoring how the struggle began? Chicago PD has a bad reputation. When they swarmed this guy and grabbed him, only 2 things could have happened: he completely surrendered, ignoring the fact that they could still kill him and get away with it, or he could resist in some way.

Is this performance art?

“No way any manager knows of all the coupons that have been produced by corporate.

Finally had a chance to watch the video...

Really didn’t want to watch the video, but I did. Once.

True, the CVS on the coupon *does* look stamped, but her explanation (sent to her by manufacturer) seems to explain that.

This is FUCKING insane. I’ve been a retail manager. Generally, it isn’t a fun job. There are a certain percentage of people who will try to scam you, but how this asshole reacted is absolutely not the way to address a reasonable suspicion of someone attempting to do so.

“Post World War II, the people around the world vowed to “never forget, never again”. But people have forgotten and it is happening again throughout the world including the United States...”

It’s deeper than that, intellectually and historically. Many countries spend a lot of time and effort refecting on the causes of…

“I will never in my life understand how a woman’s “right” to have children means, as a society, we will let her have and kill 3 children due to drugs (talking about the poster and her jail time experience - not this specific case)...”

Trump’s insistence that any news that doesn’t please him is “fake news”, and his follower’s inability to understand just how full of shit he is when he says this* is mind blowing.

Everyone knows that The Sun is a Trump friendly newspaper, yet he even called what they reported fake news when it was convenient. AND they…

When I tuned in to watch Serena in the final this morning, I had no idea that the men’s match which was delaying it, was being continued from last night. WTF?

By lying to the 911 operator about someone being attacked, didn’t she already make a false report? Why isn't she being charged for that?

Word.

“The outraged worked: she listened, admitted fault, apologized, and stated intent to change course - yet somehow I am guessing people will continue criticizing her for her original intent and initial response.”

“If he attempts to negotiate with N Korea, he will likely not achieve everything that you think he should have.

“It’s almost like electing someone who hasn’t had decades of foreign policy experience was a mistake?”

“ It’s annoying. Do I say a word? No.”
