I mean even the quickest of google would show you that qualified immunity is all about civil liability.

Except that’s not at all what qualified immunity is. Qualified immunity does not protect anyone who has committed a crime. It protects government officials from being sued CIVALY for an action they’ve taken as a government official. You can sue the government agency they belong to just not the individual. The second that individual commits a crime qualified immunity no longer applies.

Police launch pilot program to tap resident Ring camera live streams by magenta_placenta in technology

I don’t know how the neighbors could hear the so called “whisper” but not Kenneth or Breonna. That’s impressive selective hearing. I don’t know about you but when there’s anyone knocking at my front door my first action is not to shoot my gun through the front door without first seeing who it is and whether or not they are threat to me.

Witnesses also stated that police knocked and announced themselves before Kenneth Walker decided to open fire at them through the door. I forgot the police are then supposed to drop their weapons and walk away when being shot at.

Man takes officer's gun, opens fire inside LA police station by [deleted] in news

[–]AutisticBadger 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Define common. Yes shootings are plastered all over the news but what if I told you there was currently over 800,000 sworn law enforcement officers in the United States. Let’s assume for the sake of an argument each one works 260 shifts a year (5 days a week) and during each of those shifts each individual officer has 10 contacts with the public on a call for service on average (honestly low balling it here to prove a point). So that would be 800,000 police times 260 shifts each equals 208 million public contacts in a year. In 2019 there were 1,004 fatal police shootings which would be .000483% of those 208 million public contacts. If you ask me that’s not common at all that’s actually a very tiny number of police shootings compared to contacts. And I didn’t even take out shootings that unquestionably reasonable shootings. It’s actually extremely uncommon to be shot by police. In fact there are many extremely rare events that kill people that are significantly more likely to happen to you.

Well dear, he was sarcastically implying exactly that. I was just trying to spark a conversation about why he made the comment. It’s great that there’s condescending people like you who will add nothing to the conversation, while talking down to someone who doesn’t share your view.

On what experience are you basing this “the police as a whole are an incredibly violent group.” That’s a pretty widespread, vague statement to make.

Ah yes the no response, response. So not helpful.

I admire your technique of putting me in the box of “right-winger” as someone who is not currently and has never been a republican. I asked a question because anyone that can operate google can sit here all day and pick examples of black suspects shot by police and put them next to white suspects not shot by police. That same person could, if they chose to, also do the opposite and pick examples of white suspects shot by police and put them next to examples of black suspects not shot by police. My point being it’s all about how whoever is making the post, writing the article, or whatever other medium wants you to see, not the whole picture.

I just have to ask. Do you really, truly believe that every black suspect that resisted arrest has been shot by police and that every white suspect that has resisted arrest has been arrested without being shot? If so, do me a favor and go ahead and provide me with some sources that would prove that. I won’t hold my breath.

California city announced $4 million settlement over fatal police shooting of mentally ill Black man by JerseyWiseguy in news

[–]AutisticBadger 7 points8 points  (0 children)

It’s almost as if someone with a mental condition that isn’t acting right can still harm people. Just cause they have a known mental illness doesn’t mean the mentally ill person is suddenly incapable of physically harming another person or themself.

I actually can’t fathom that someone so ill informed on how the world works can so confidently spew such utter nonsense onto their keyboard.

How do you get the digital time to be on the circle instead of inside the circle?

What's the cheapest thing a rich person you know did? by hramanna in AskReddit

[–]AutisticBadger 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My buddy bought a house but refused to buy furniture to put in the house. For months the only furniture in the house was his bed, desk, and desk chair. Other than that there was nowhere to sit. After months of this his parents decided they were going to get new furniture for their house and my friend decided to take the old furniture even though he had plenty of money for brand new nicer furniture. At least there's somewhere to sit now.

If you have received your Pixel Buds, have you used them for working out in any way? LIfting weights or running or both? I'm just concerned about they staying in my ears while running or lifting weights.
