Fired for rocking too hard.

There was a fairly famous case back in the 70's when the Philly PD I think it was conducted a 8 hour siege on an empty tenement building, tens of thousands of rounds were expended by several hundred officers who ultimately were shooting at their own ricochets and hearing their own gunfire as evidence of, well you guessed it, BLACK RADICALS!!! firing on them

Right...
Well she's a pretty big woman. Not in any kind of physical condition to fight. She's surrounded by a few dozen officers. I would think out maneuvering her would be fairly risk free and not super hard. I'd question the force used. People die all the time from one punch. Actually one punch plus a concrete landing. People should know this. If she died you'd have George Floyd part 2 for sure. If it's a 200 pound guy punching a 200 pound cop. Then go for it. Deck him. But this is not that.

That's why I deleted it, it wasn't as bad as I thought. Defintely the headline was created to tell Americans "Trudeau refuses to criticize Trump after trying to find the words" which I felt was a misread of how powerful and neccessary his response today was in light of the fact that you can't poke the big stupid bear because he has immense power and chooses to use it whenever he's slighted.

I mean basically everyone in Canada understood that the entirety of his answer about how we need to deal with this in Canada was a "I won't speak to their politics because I run Canada, but here's how we need to handle it here". It was strong criticism without giving quotes for the dummy to blow up over. CNN knows that but pushed the "refused to criticize" because that's better for their business of getting Trump to blow up and then reporting on it.

CNN also knows that this is the time Trump is looking for any distraction and an ally world leader criticizing him would be everything he ever dreamed of to start blathering about in the media to distract from his country's destruction.

Twitter does it's thing and identifies her quickly. She's a reporter for conservative news outlets. She's an intern for the Washington Examiner and a reporter for Campusreform.org a 'news' outlet dedicated to 'exposing liberal bias in higher education.'

That’s twice in the last few pages you’ve been overtly sexist.

That woman has got to be at least 200lbs. Why would the exact same thing elicit a different response because one has a penis?

Huge concerns coming to fruition, and why it was just as stupid yesterday in this city.

Why not? You’re in a position of authority over someone and order an illegal act that results in death. Why aren’t you culpable?
