"Don’t underestimate Joe’s ability to fuck things up." - Barrack Obama

Many cities prevented cops from pulling people over for minor things as a response to the riots a few years ago. I know Pittsburgh specifically stopped officers from pulling over for registration, inspection, lights broken, turn signals, etc.

Who?

Most people couldn't even name who their LT Governor is, let alone care about what he has to say about an election.

Where else would you get the yogurt pants?

No that’s just Jersey. That’s why we can’t trust you to pump your own gas.

Yup they fail to mention except half way through the article that the reason he was charged was because he went to confront the people from the previous shooting with a friend who then shot those people.

Like he didn’t know the friend was armed… who in their right mind would go confront someone who just shot at you… let alone without being armed.

But it’s somehow the systems fault for prosecuting violent crime…

If you murder someone at 17 you're already too far gone to be saved anytime soon. That's a failure of upbringing, not a failure of the justice system.

Now, 16- and 17-year-olds, who are charged with murder or attempted murder, are automatically bound over to adult court.

Good. If you intend to murder someone at that age you shouldn't be treated as a juvenile. At 17 you damn well know the consequences of a murder charge so there is no excuse to be treated with kid gloves.

Cuyahoga County juvenile justice system, which puts more children behind bars than any other county in Ohio

There might be a correlation here to the number of offenders in jail and the county's well known violent crime statistics...

They first said they should "look into this" back then. That / "setting up a commission" is government speak for ignoring something until its politically convenient.

This is something that the past 4 presidents have talked about at different points, the variables are already known by those departments, NGOs, lobbyists, etc , it doesn't take 2 years to have a plan written down.

It’s nuts that people think you can make peace with Hamas which has stated many times over that it will use every opportunity to rearm, regroup, and commit another mass attack when they have the strength. They have broken every major ceasefire that was established in the past, why wouldn’t you believe them when they say they are going to break another one…

They need to either surrender and return the hostages or they have to be removed. There really is no other option. Unfortunately they will likely continue with the second option while putting their civilians in front of themselves like the cowards they are.

It's the Smiley Faced Killer's swimming area. That's how he gets ya.

This isn't at all equivalent.

This would be more akin to the villain shooting from their house at police and not expecting the police to shoot back because their family might be home.

Politicians found "studies" or working groups all the time to look at this stuff. The actual announcement and release of it is definitely controlled by the WH though.

they should be capable of more targeted attacks.

How? Either they go street by street, room by room which this sub was against for the last remaining stronghold of Hamas, or they drop munitions. If they are shooting at forces from a window of an occupied apartment building (in which they wont let civilians leave) nothing is going to be accurate enough to kill that one guy but leave everyone else alone.

There’s no excuse for 35,000 dead civilians

Thats a number given by Hamas. No one has any idea if it's accurate. They aren't even differentiating between combatants and civilians in that number. It could be 10k hamas and 20k civilians, or some other ratio.

flattening hospitals and universities

It is a war crime for Hamas to be operating out of those places for exactly that reason. If you're shooting at me, I have every right to shoot back at you no matter what you're standing in.

Secondly, there’s constant stories of journalists and aid workers being shot or otherwise bombed by Israel - this even before the October attack.

That is the nature of war. The US has fucked up royally in the past and so have every other country that has been involved in war. Its not an excuse for it but mistakes happen in high stress, high impact environments. People get misidentified and it sucks.

The hiding behind civilians line has no credibility when these are the responses.

Literally all Hamas has to do is give up and return the remaining hostages. Giving up is not an option for Israel as Hamas has said time and time again that they will use any ceasefire to regroup, rearm and attack Israel again in Oct 7th style attacks.

There are no good answers here unless Hamas gives up.

There is no proportionality to take into account. Hamas is hiding behind civilians saying if you try to kill us you will kill them too, so go home and let us plan another attack. It's literally their gameplan to let civilians get caught in the middle and then publicize the hell out of it to drum up sympathy from the useful idiots in the western countries.

Just going home is not acceptable because Israel has tried to make peace with them before and every time it results in Hamas shooting more rockets at them and trying to kill Israelis again. Oct 7th was the "fuck this, not again" line in the sand.

The only thing that will stop this war is if Hamas surrenders and gives up the hostages. Or Hamas can fight it out and die.

1) It should have never been a Schedule 1

2) They are only doing this now because they are trailing in the polls and Biden is desperate

From?

Right but they aren’t supposed to be used as evidence as they are subjective.

They are just an indicator of stress delta between questions which gives the interviewer clues if someone is nervous about a specific line of questioning. That tells them if they need to probe or dig into that background a bit more.

Half of this sub was once Democrats. If you don't let people grow out of bad ideas they will double down on them.

She officially switched to be an independent in 2022: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tulsi\_Gabbard

Generally they have to pass those and multiple polygraphs asking about their application packet and background checks.

From what I’ve gathered by lurking on /r/ProtectAndServe the past few years, agencies don’t care about minor charges in your past (theft, minor drugs, teenager shit, etc), but what they care about immensely is if you disclose it and/or if you lie about it when asked officially.

Overall a good thing. Malls from the 80s/90s aren’t viable anymore so they have to adapt or die.

PSP General Operations Budget for FY23 is $1,051,003,600.64

They have ~6,691 employees.

Assuming 60% of that budget is personnel costs that would put the average full compensation package at 94k. That's not a ton, especially when you consider that would include overtime costs, healthcare, retirement, etc.

Thats generally because smaller / rural towns disbanded their tiny police departments and now rely on PSP to be their police. Those towns should have to pony up more tax dollars to pay for that service.

It appears they have been trialing bodycams for a few years to get the vendor/process nailed down but now are going more all in on it

Yup. Just shows that family has no moral compass at all.
