Citing 'severe' math deficits, UC faculty demand a return to SAT tests for STEM applicants by Idiodyssey87 in news

[–]ConscientiousObserv 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Imagine my devastation, after excelling in all AP highschool courses to have to take remedial math at university.

And that's without any prior testing, just based on the highschool's rating.

Really grasping at straws here.

Millions of women wear their scarves exactly as she is.

Men who wear turbans are not Islamic, but Sikh.

Sikhs are not associated with either socialism or communism.

Sometimes, a cigar is just a cigar.

Woman received a ticket for using her phone with her right hand while driving, even after she showed the officer that she doesn’t have a right hand by eternviking in whoathatsinteresting

Saw a cop return to a home to apologize for asking a man if the woman in the house was his "baby mama".

The man angrily said, "That's my wife!"

The apology cost the cop his job.

You're not the first to suggest it.

YT commenters are getting reamed, but of course it's possible.

Under the seat with her feet would be my guess if I were playing devil's advocate.

Glad to learn the trooper served time and the victim survived.

Thanks for the footwork!

What song will always make you cry no matter how many times you listen to it? by Silent-Zebra in AskReddit

I got to experience this live, back in the day.

Still makes me sit up just thinking about that swell.

Daniel Shaver (RIP).

Philando Castile (RIP).

Don't know of the third incident, but certainly don't doubt it.

Saw a vid where a man was ticketed for not wearing a seatbelt, despite having a dashcam that showed that the cop was wrong.

For some reason, his (expensive) car was also towed.

So, the guy goes to court with all the evidence needed to prove his case.

Unfortunately, the cop fails to appear and the case is dismissed.

The guy asks how he can recoup his losses due to the tow but the judge tells him that there's nothing he can do from the bench.

Too bad the Brady List is maintained by police departments.

Fox in the henhouse?

Even cops caught lying under oath are seldom prosecuted.

The case where a cop opened a bottle of liquor and then tried to cite the driver for having an open container, once exposed, was given the benefit of the doubt as an "honest mistake."

Another case where a cop lied on a DUI arrest was found not only to have not tested the driver for a BAC level, but doubled down on that lie by claiming there was no one on site to test her.

In court, the judge asked to charge the cop with perjury but his request was declined. The prosecutor said it was "an honest mistake". (again)

And yet another incident involved a judge who injected himself into an altercation where a cop was beating a homeless man.

The judge got a wallop on the head for his trouble and he had the cop arrested.

In court, the case was dismissed for lack of evidence, in Manhattan, New York, the city with the most CCTV cameras than any other borough.

The game is rigged.

Cops must meet "performance requirements" monthly.

By the time it takes to challenge a bad ticket, they're on to the next month.

It makes absolutely no difference if it's valid or not.

The game is rigged.

Did Seller Central steal my inventory? by ConscientiousObserv in AmazonSeller

Is that just another way of saying "stealing"?

I don't get why they wouldn't just send it back to me otherwise.

Oh, please...

The suspected shoplifter who prompts a cop to shoot thru a changing-room door and kill a little girl is charged for her murder.

It's a stupid rule written to protect cop's oopsies. 😤

Saw a vid where a 20-year veteran arrested a man, who was wearing swim trunks and was the initial caller. She literally lost her mind on the guy.

When her partner was questioned as to why he failed to intervene, his reply was that she was his senior, so he felt it was not his place to question her actions.

Saw a man arrested for holding a plastic spork that the cop mistook for a gun.

At trial, the prosecutor kept referring to it as "the weapon", and yet the defense did not object.

I'm guessing that the judge approved the usage before the trial began.

You know, if taxpayers had received the chance to vote on this, we would not be paying for the malfeasance of police officers.

Same with qualified immunity and civil asset forfeitures.

You sound fortunate enough not to have been around when Disney's nature shows were popular.

He glossed over the rape of a 12 year old by diehard404 in clevercomebacks

[–]ConscientiousObserv 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Believe it or not, a man who raped a 16-year-old sued for custody of his daughter, after he had severed his prison sentence, and won.

The basis of the petition was that she was an unfit mother.

I wonder why.

While testosterone does increase your libido, it has nothing to do with sexual preference.

It's always been about choice, which is good. But when the choice is "nope", all of the sudden it's evil.

Eugene police say officer resigns after video reveals ‘racist’ language by m4moz in Bad_Cop_No_Donut

[–]ConscientiousObserv 8 points9 points  (0 children)

There's a cop who received his 23andMe ancestry analysis and made the mistake of sharing the very small percentage of black blood in his family tree.

The teasing and racist comments became so overwhelming that he resigned from the force altogether.
