- Good thoughts and prayers. -- nm - budice Jan 29, 10:04
- we care. these people are important to you and we like you so by extension - we care. - Mel Profit Jan 29, 09:59
- Think of you and yours. -- nm - David Jan 29, 09:58 1
  - (Thinking) - David Jan 29, 09:58
- We do care because they're close to you. Hopefully the radiation will take care of it. -- nm - droidlet Jan 29, 09:57 1
  - thanks - it's scary, cause it is definitely spreading. -- nm - Andie Jan 29, 09:59
Hillary Is Taking Her Time Launching Her 2016 Campaign .... - budice Jan 29, 09:50 2
- There's HUGE advantages to not launching. That's why all the Republicans have set up committees but not announced. - spamlet Jan 29, 09:59
- She better run, because if she doesn't the Dems will be in complete disarray. - TWuG Jan 29, 09:55
The Lego SHIELD helicarrier. 2996 pieces. -- (link) - Mop Jan 29, 09:49 1

Gardena, CA residents have black water - water company says it's safe to drink -- (link) - decline Jan 29, 09:40 1
- yummy! -- nm - Beaker Jan 29, 09:41
St. Louis meeting over policing descends to brawl -- (link) - Beaker Jan 29, 09:38 1
- It's STL city, not Ferguson. It's about setting up a civilian police board that will be full of cronys of the mayor. - spamlet Jan 29, 09:40
The police shooting of the teen girl is tough to watch. You're seeing someone die. But... -- (link) - Mop Jan 29, 09:31 [youtube] 15
- that whole video is a mess of what not to do as a cop. - groiny Jan 29, 09:40 14
  - I know there are mental issues at play but people please, in a heated situation with the police do NOTHING. - Ultron Jan 29, 09:42 13
    - go limp! -- nm - Max Jan 29, 09:53
    - agreed. your job in these situations, unless it's amazingly out of control, is to remain as calm as possible. Not always easy or even the moral - Mel Profit Jan 29, 09:50
    - this is totally just me saying this, but it looks to me like the one cop - groiny Jan 29, 09:44 10
      - I'm going to give the cop here a generous read and say that it could be that he tried to defuse the situation by restraining her/talking her down/ - TWuG Jan 29, 09:59
      - The description says she had a butcher knife, and "I have a gun" was written on her hand... -- nm - Ender Jan 29, 09:53 1
        
        I am just saying that she was held down on the chair, she was tackled. - groiny Jan 29, 09:55
      - That's an insightful perspective. Initially, all I'm seeing is a man in a trenchcoat grabbing a woman. - Mop Jan 29, 09:47 6
        
        Or, he's just unable to hold her still long enough to cuff her and waiting for backup to arrive. -- nm - Ender Jan 29, 09:50 4
        
        a grown man holding down a teenage girl, he should have had plenty of opportunity to cuff her. - groiny Jan 29, 09:51 3
        
        Was she still holding the butcher knife? -- nm - Ender Jan 29, 09:54 2
        
        either way, if you knew she had it, and you tackled her, you lay on her and hold her down til help comes. - groiny Jan 29, 09:55 1
        
        That's real easy to say when you're not being attacked with a butcher knife and think she might have a gun. -- nm - Ender Jan 29, 09:57
        
        no matter what, I fully expect a big lawsuit out of this one. - groiny Jan 29, 09:49
Re: the Target thing on B2, I assumed it was a theft issue, but the article suggests... - Mop Jan 29, 09:24 3
- If someone is dead, someone gets sued. thats them there the rules. I didn't make em. -- nm - Epiphany Jan 29, 09:31
- As was said, if police simply cuffed him and walked him out to a police car iti sone thing, but if they paraded him all around the store it is another -- nm - Ultron Jan 29, 09:28 1
  - My impression was that "parade around" was "handcuffed at the door and walked to the back office". -- nm - Name Withheld By Request Jan 29, 09:29

- I don't get it -- nm - decline Jan 29, 09:10 5
  - JK is an abbreviation of "Just Kidding". -- nm - TWuG Jan 29, 09:13 3
    - still not following -- nm - decline Jan 29, 09:21 2
      - Shooting at someone with blanks could be seen as "just kidding" and an AK-47 is a type of rifle. So JK-47 is a rifle that - TWuG Jan 29, 09:25
      - ak-47 is a commonly used assault rifle. - groiny Jan 29, 09:22

- wasn't Picard an unbeliever? -- nm - Beaker Jan 29, 09:01 1
  - The general tone of the original ST and ST;TNG was humanist. Driven by Roddenberry. Not sure if that humanist tone - TWuG Jan 29, 09:11
- I'm starting to think these negative connotations are more closely related to being an educated character on TV than an atheist. -- nm - Mop Jan 29, 09:00 8
  - And most people of faith on tv now are hypocrites, terrorists, or Bible thumpers, so what's the point? - spamlet Jan 29, 09:05 7
