The Sultan awards it to The Pedophile of the Year.

The first paragraph is great advice.

The second one is such utter hogwash on so many levels it’s hard to know where to start.

• Police that are intending to disrupt a protest are planning and organizing in person, not over the radios. That’s just stupid.

• Regular police radios are frequently encrypted now. You can be damn sure DHS has been encrypting their radio traffic for decades. I can say, from personal experience, that my small hometown police started encrypting some of their radio traffic at least 40+ years ago.

• Even if it wasn’t encrypted, you have to know what frequencies they’re using. Scanners only check one frequency at a time for traffic, so it can take several seconds to get through all of them if you have a lot of candidates. This means that you will frequently miss the first part of a transmission, and occasionally miss the entire thing if it’s short. Once it detects something on one frequency, it stops there to monitor that frequency for as long as the conversation is going on. This means that you’re missing everything happening on all of the other frequencies you have.

• Lastly, RADIO SCANNERS DO NOT TRANSMIT! PERIOD. They are receivers, like the radio in your car that you listen to music local advertisements on.

It’s fairly obvious that the person that wrote that has never in their life used a radio scanner and has no idea how they actually work.

It’s definitely not clear. The reasons cited by two acts strongly suggest that they’ve completely dropped out of the entire tour. The others didn’t state reasons, so … 🤷🏻

My wild ass guess is that the rest of the cities are still scheduled just because there’s enough time that organizers think they can still find replacement acts. So, those tour dates may still fall.

Last year, a finance officer at a Singaporean multinational paid out nearly $500,000 to scammers during what he believed was a video call with company leadership.

My bet is that that is just his very plausible cover story. He’s the one that got the money.

How then could a department get rid of a bad officer before this bad behavior presents itself?

The public only becomes aware of the bad behavior when it goes too far and, for example, a cop unnecessarily kills somebody.

But that doesn’t just happen out of the blue. That cop’s coworkers and supervisors knew that he was reckless or emotionally unstable or whatever loooong before it got to that point. They need to step up before he kills somebody.

As long as no one being here illegally was voting,

Narrator: “They weren’t.”

there is no net political loss for Democrats.

Possibly the opposite. Many of those violently kidnapped and deported have friends and family that ARE citizens and CAN vote. Many of them probably naively voted R in the last election. I suspect many of them will not make that mistake in the midterms.

As long as that last paragraph is true, I could support this. There has to be enough motivation for them to get rid of bad cops before they become a problem, not after.

Edit; But I also imagine that the insurance companies themselves would be pretty focused on making sure each cop was attending good training on how to be effective instead of what they’re currently getting which seems to be, “Everyone wants to kill you! Kill them first!”

So, yeah, this could work.

It’s going to get worse until Congress, legislatures, and courts impose penalties on the police departments instead of the tax payers.

Not just the cop that fucked up, but the entire department. They either knew damn well that they had a dangerous asshat in their ranks and refused to get rid of him before something like this happened, or they’re dangerous asshats themselves. The only fix is to make them highly motivated to police themselves.

My suggestion (though I’m open to any idea that works) is fines/penalties/settlements for shit like this comes out of their retirement funds. And not just the police union’s pension fund, but private IRAs as well. Put it all on the table. Don’t leave any loop holes for them to skirt around taking responsibility for making sure every officer is qualified to do the job and not be a menace to society.

The rest of us, he indicates, will be stuck on the assembly line, building whatever the tech companies require.

Meanwhile…

China is accelerating the rollout of fully automated “dark factories,” where production continues non-stop without lighting, human workers or shift changes. https://e.vnexpress.net/news/tech/tech-news/no-lights-no-workers-ai-powered-dark-factories-are-reshaping-china-s-manufacturing-4921224.html

Jesse Eisinger, reporter and editor at ProPublica, argued that the Abu Dhabi investment into the Trump cypto firm “should rank among the greatest US scandals ever.”

Narrator: It wasn’t.

Don’t tell them to leave! Charge them with assault and arrest them!

The court order ordering their release is a must read.

It’s short, but absolutely roasts the regime. It…

• quotes the Declaration of Independence and Benjamin Franklin
• includes a section that begins with, “Civics lesson to the government:…”,
• includes the phrase, “the perfidious lust for unbridled power and the imposition of cruelty in its quest know no bounds and are bereft of human decency,”
• etc, etc

If I was a lawyer and got that kind of judgement, I would just hang up my hat in shame and get a job burning french fries. Sadly, these fucknuts lack any ability to feel shame, all the way to the top.

Yeah, if the police have to take them all into custody to investigate if it was real or not… It wasn’t being sold as clearly fiction.

All three streamers were then held in January last year but released after they insisted the on-screen violence was all part of “an act aimed at creating buzz so as to earn money”.

Act or not, I cannot quantify the utter disdain I have for anyone who wants to watch garbage like that. Absolutely shitty human trash, every damn one of them.

Edit: And just to be abundantly clear, I’m not talking about the two pieces of garbage that just got taken into custody. I’m taking about the thousands of pieces of human feces that were getting their jollies watching another person get abused.

We’re talking about people that are pathologicaly dishonest, so yeah. Either get paid up front or you’re not getting paid. Don’t waste your time.

Anyone know where to buy this without supporting fascist oligarchs? I’m not seeing it listed in Mr Springsteen’s store. I know I could acquire it via alternate routes, but in this case I’d like to support the artist extra hard, and maybe even help get this song up on some top something something list that the media can’t ignore.
