Bad training by police to tase more than once or twice

Tasers don't always work with one application, especially on larger people in a frenzy.

As the popo ive used the taser before. While hes being tased, his powerbase is broken. Thats when he should be taken into custody.

Except no. Usually Tasers work like that, sometimes they don't. Especially in the case of drugs, someone can be tased and keep going, they don't always just stop being a threat.

Someone know likely knows fuck all about a topic arguing with someone who is very familiar with said topic. Never change CE.

Anyway, came in to say the guy looks small and the girl is a mud

Except I do know about the topic. Tasers aren't foolproof.

what if they had done a background check? should the police treat people differently if they have a criminal record?

if you think people with records are likely to commit crimes again, why release any prisoner?

A background showing repeated violence is cause for treating claims against him more seriously.

ICE hasn't been fucking around with people publicly admitting to harboring illegal immigrants. That family can probably expect a knock on their door from them sooner rather than later.

And they can expect to be told to fuck right off.

Except Josie predates idol anime, and Gem might as well, not sure when the first one was.

It isn't like police are just going to ignore you

did you read the link

I did. She wasn't ignored. This was a case of the system failing her, not individual officers.

The review of the killing found that University of Utah officers did not know how to look up criminal background or parole information, CNN affiliate KUTV said.

Why are university police so often inept?

Honestly, having seen some of those systems before, it could very well be they were never trained on it, especially if they aren't given direct access to the system which would be common for security positions.

Maybe sanderson will actually pick it like he did wheel of time.

Both Sanderson and Martin have stated this is never going to happen, and it would be terrible anyways.

hospitalized with extensive injuries. She will likely lose an eye

Yep, she's just fine

As in, I'm glad she's surviving and recovering.

He knows how it ends but did write himself into a bit of a corner getting there. Plus, he's honestly probably burnt out.

It isn't like police are just going to ignore you, but there are situations where it's too dangerous for a cop to go in and intervene, and they shouldn't face legal consequences for considering safety.

It really depends on how it went down. If he was still resisting, they likely didn't have a lot of other options. I'm glad the girl is ok, but really curious what was going on with the guy.

Most of the complaints I've seen are over how they changed the game drastically from what it was in 2 rather than the actual quality of the game. Valid complaints, but I'm curious if the game itself is any good, especially as it seems so limited, having gone from nearly every major army to only three :/

Hopefully they're caught and imprisoned. Not deported (at least not yet) but thrown in jail.

Why consume taxpayer dollars on keeping them in jail rather than deporting them to a jail in Mexico?

Because if they get deported they can kill someone there or come back here and do it again.

Not if you deport them to a prison in Mexico.

That isn't how deportation works.

Since you posted this topic, two illegal immigrants were shot and killed by cops

But I mean, hey, they broke the law and probably posed a threat to the officers, otherwise they wouldn't have used lethal force.

No evidence in here they broke any criminal laws.

I think the key word here is illegal immigrants.

Doesn't make it criminal. It's a civil offense.

But some of the frustrating mechanics seriously hurt it, and their design focus means a lot of skills are just not that great. And the community is kind of toxic.

Bestiary was the last league where the mechanics weren't that great. I only got two characters to mapping before I stopped. They re-introduced the catching aspect in this expansion, but they fixed all of the issues people had with it.

And while some skills are clearly better than others, they do a decent job balancing each patch. Even the "bad" skills are still completely viable in the end game.

They still have problems with some maps and monsters being either unkillable, or incredibly tedious, and it isn't a problem with build quality but strictly with mechanics. And they still have no full respec, though they fixed my two big issues (not being able to buy skill gems as any class, and not being able to search the skill tree).

And they should remove ascension from the labyrinth. It's just tedious to do as a required mechanic.

PoE is a fantastic game still mind you grim dawn just edges it out.

Good.

I'd rather just play Median XL instead of any of the "D2 successors"

It's better than median xl from all I've seen.

Grim Dawn is a fun game, but it pales in comparison to PoE. The frequent content updates and unique league mechanics make PoE untouchable in the genre right now.

5 a month for a shit ton of titles, including many modern ones. No strings.

Is it a Streaming service like PSNow, or do you actually download the games...you've kinda piqued my interest as someone who's gotten back into PC gaming recently

You download the games. They're giving you access to the vast majority of the origin library, including newer games, for the subscription.

You can respec in PoE you just have to use a bunch of orbs

You can, but it's so expensive you might as well reroll.

oh I didn't even know they're expensive, I'm only lvl 62

Basically, one skill point respec(beyond the ones given by the campaign) is roughly worth a chaos orb. A full respec is roughly worth an exalt. In my ~300 hours playing I've seen one exalt drop. It's the second rarest currency in the game.

It's too complicated for me. How do you know what to do? The fact that there is so many ways to play overwhelms me.

As a general rule, go in and pick something cool to you. Every level, put two points in the mastery bar, and one in a skill. Maxing one skill is better than spreading points evenly. You get a second mastery at level 8,skip it until you finish the first one unless you really know what you want. Don't be afraid of mistakes - as long as you're picking up and selling all yellow or better items, it's super cheap to undo choices.

Don't fret about the Stat points per level. Usually it's bes to pick the Stat which helps your damage most and focus almost entirely on that, with some elsewhere as needed for equipment. And you can literally leave stats where they are until you know - I've put in one Stat point in 12 levels. This is because you get stats from your mastery, so you keep up well.

Do every shrine you see and don't be afraid to look up help there - undoing those is a bit more costly.

Also, the crucible dlc is amazing for leveling, and if you get sick of redoing the campaign mode.

It's pretty easy to spot a fake service dog. Service dogs are usually extremely well behaved and not pulling on the leash and going crazy trying to find attention.

You don't know many service dogs do you?

Considering I've volunteered at an animal shelter for 27 years I've seen one. Or two. Or a couple hundred.

Sure doesn't sound like it, since there are plenty that aren't the calm, constantly by your side type.

That said, I do remember reading that a lot of girls aren't actually looking for the dick size they think they want - they tend to misjudge sizes(as would a lot of guys if they didn't measure lol).

It's fine to judge by whatever standards you like. Nobody should be with someone they aren't attracted to.

And hopefully the leaker gets caught and tossed in jail.

Sarah Sanders is a woman

But they didn't ask her to leave because she's a woman.

So it's okay to discriminate against a protected class as long as you're doing it for the right reason? That's objectively insane...

No, but they didn't discriminate against a protected class. If they aren't doing it because of what makes them a protected class, it isn't discrimination.

Disgusting. Recording people for that amount of time without their knowledge is a scummy thing to do

Depends on why you're doing it.

So, legally, can an officer film secretly, even interdepartmentally? Because I'd hate to see this hero get caught up in legal backlash(though even if what he did was illegal, whistleblower laws should protect him).

A lot of great ARPGs: Chronicon (2D, sprite), Last Epoch (Kickstarter), and Grim Dawn. I'm a little iffy on Wolcen and Vikings: Wolves of Midgard, but I understand why people support them.

Wolcen is fun for what it is, but right now it's kind of just proof of concept. Which is a good thing for an early access game to be, but it remains to be seen how well they'll deliver the final game.

Haven't seen the other three yet, I'll put them on my list!

Easy to overlook in general, but then you see it's shown entirely through the perspective of laptop and phone screens, showing live streams, websites, instant messages, etc etc, and write it off as another gimmick.

But it's extremely well written and cleverly edited, the acting is fantastic, the story is super tense, and unlike most movies the gimmick actually adds a lot through visual storytelling and improves the movie significantly. Very much worth the watch.

One of my old roommates was able to obtain a service dog's vest and pretended that it was a service dog so that he could bring his dog places that you normally couldn't.

It was pretty cool.

pretty fucked up

No it wasn't. It was a well trained dog and nobody cared.

Yes, it was. You're pretending to be disabled to make life marginally easier for you.
