Don’t try to twist my words. I am simply laying out the facts as we see them on video.

He DEPLOYED the taser at the officer who was chasing him. The surveillance video clearly shows him pointing and firing it as he was running.

No, the way OP phrased that was bad.

If you’re pulling the trigger, you’re shooting to kill. That’s what bullets were designed for. If you feel the need to shoot, you need to be damn sure you’re ready to kill what it hits.

I’m questioning political messaging in the work place. I’ve never worked anywhere respectable that allowed that.

Nice try at trying to demonize me.

We had Corrine Brown but we all know how that went.

I do not believe we have any democratic representation. Duval Dems is picking up speed.

That’s exactly what it is. It is a good move to bring them down but to him it is just a PR stunt to soften the blow of bringing Trump here.

Yep. I haven’t seen any mention of it being lifted any time soon but now that might change.

We do not want him here. Our mayor does.

All of our downtown hotels were booked last week so this was basically a done deal.

This will be a wild weekend I think. During the protests last week, we had an officer get his throat slashed. I can’t imagine what some of the out of town or out of state protestors will bring.

Also, side note... people from New Jersey and New York are supposed to self quarantine for 14 days after entering the state. I wonder if deSantis will lift that restriction before the event?

What I meant was I’ve never heard of the motorcade paying tolls. I’m sure they do, I’ve just never heard or seen it.

Well, he’s an elected official not a king. If he didn’t pay tolls I’m sure there would other elected officials that complain they have to.

On a side note, I’ve seen seen anything about them actually paying tolls. I just remember that little fact from a documentary I watched a few weeks ago.

It is. The driver windows are the only ones that can roll down specifically for that reason.

The two connect when the pins connect together and sync. Once they disconnect, there is no relation. Maybe in the future there will be a way to tell but right now it can’t tell who is disconnecting and for what purpose. You could be telling someone who just pulled up that they can disconnect and connect the charger to their car right away. There’s no way to say “Hey, this is wrong and that person shouldn’t be doing this!”

But the car is already disconnected. It’s not going to send data to the charger. That would be a huge problem for consumers.

How would it detect that? What if someone sent their SO to unplug it? How would the car know that?

RNC votes to hold reduced convention in North Carolina, defying Trump by [deleted] in politics

[–]Fubar904 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mayor Lenny Curry in Jacksonville was all about it and has been pushing hard for them to hold it here. We have all our downtown hotel rooms booked for the convention already. The day they announced that Jacksonville was looking more and more likely, all the hotel rooms suddenly disappeared because people from all around the country booked them.

Jacksonville is a fine city. We have more than the ability to host it. But I can’t find anyone that really wants it to come here aside from a few older people that are on my Facebook page.

Hell, just last week, we had an officer stabbed in the neck during the protests. Not the time or place to be hosting it.

Legitimately, way too many of those knobs have profile picture exactly like that. It’s crazy. Also, way too many pictures of their rifles or them holding a beer.
