  • Looks like the Minneapolis police department was wrestled into a consent decree with the state too, so they won't get to go back to choking people to death without any pushback.

    And I heard some people complain binding them up in duplicate was a waste of tax dollars.

  • I dunno I prefer not being murdered for practicing (or even converting from) the wrong religion, dying of plague or famine, or being enslaved for economic convenience. But maybe that's just me.

  • On that, we are in complete agreement. We will do whatever it takes if it's feasible and the admin actually wants the person back.

    Pretending any nuclear nation couldn't get one man (or his corpse) back from a Central American prison is a farce.

  • Clearly drawn is hard to prosecute (and one might argue shouldn't be prosecuted, since obscenity laws are just... weird). However, the stuff that is photorealistic can be treated, legally, like the real thing.

  • I know they specifically mentioned temperament in the selection section of one of the sniper manuals. Not sure about special operations.

    Honestly, most special operations selection processes seem to have very little to do with the actual what most Tier 1 units actually do. CAG, for example, has a 40 mile solo nav course as part of their selection.

  • There have been a few articles on "herding" which I didn't even know about before this election. I am no pollster, but it sounds like there's a huge incentive to protect the reputation of the polling firm ("it's a draw, so we can't be wrong") vs reporting numbers they think might make news.

  • Yeah, they are sort of just the worst in JSOC (although one wonders about the CIA direct action groups). But between this shit, the Nazis in the KSK, and Australian helicopter musical-chairs, it really does seem like there's something about special operations that attracts the worst a country has to offer.

  • There's mixed evidence of whether or not mass shootings have a contagion effect, that people who are already "primed" see this shit on tv and decide that today's the day.

    Or it could just be chance.

    But maybe, here's an idea, we don't let people who make terroristic threats have guns. I don't care about what kind of gun, if you credibly threaten to murder a bunch of people, no gun for you.
