Police are explicitly trained to keep firing until the person at the very least collapses, and will often shoot people on the ground if it looks like they are reaching for or aiming a weapon (slightly moving a limb, probably out of agony).

American police would rather see you dead than be in a situation they are not 100% in control of. Managing an interaction with them is like dealing with a dangerous wild animal.

Maricopa County Sheriff’s Office has been a rolling human rights disaster for years. It needs to be torn the fuck down.

Frankly sheriff’s offices in general need to be abolished. It’s a relic of the frontier colonial era and, surprise, they never gave up their power willingly. They often have the lowest training standards in the profession, and are the face of partisan politics in law enforcement, to the benefit of conservatives 99% of the time. A lot of the time I hear about some flagrant abuse of power from cops it’s from a sheriff’s deputy.

EDIT: doesn’t seem like the sheriffs were involved here, just the county prosecutor and Phoenix police. What you get from scrolling at work and not reading articles.

Moose don’t fuck around. They’re dumb as shit and territorial. They kill more people than grizzlies IIRC.

He was always a net negative to operations, but he’s substantially declined in his drug abuse and mental health since his foray into politics. He’s going to wreck anything he touches with his hubris.

Of course it could take a long time for his faithful to come to terms with that.

Whenever and wherever “settlers” are publicly lashing out with violence, the IDF is on standby to immediately destroy any Palestinian resistance to their provocation.

The younger crowd of “gun nuts” can be autistic AF. No doubt guns and how they’re used can be a special interest like any other.

You jest but conservative warhawks absolutely want to break treaty and build orbital weapons platforms.

Don’t need to understand the condition when you intend to just pluck the population off the streets and enslave them.

I’m pretty sure competent militaries store their munitions in networks of dozens if not hundreds of earthen bunkers per site, specifically so shit like this can’t happen.

264 kilotons is a fuckload of bombs.

Every teacher I hear from (US) these days basically says the newest generation coming up is completely screwed. Unreal levels of behavioral issues that are not being addressed at home. Complete lack of engagement with the lesson plan, unfinished assignments all over. They need to curve grades left and right just to get the majority of the class to pass. The parents are more emboldened than ever to make the teachers’ lives hell over things they know nothing about and refuse to take responsibility for.

It’s easy to brush it off as the standard generational nose-thumbing…but this seems different. Something is really breaking down and I think social media is at the center of it.

It kind of looks like annotation to imply that the symbols actually on his hand mean MS-13, but I’d easily believe Trump is dumb enough to think he has “M S 1 3” printed in Arial font on his fingers.

If it is an annotation…show us those court records, you fascist son of a bitch.
