So In this specific instance, the specific instance we are talking about, the instance that is the topic of this discussion, no one.

The obvious follow up question is, if he were rolling up the tinted windows so he could retrieve a weapon without the cop seeing, or if he had taken off at high speed in his little sports car and run a high speed chase before crashing, could multiple people have died?

I’ll just give you the obvious answer, “yes”.

The reason your answer is naive isn’t because cops don’t do terrible things, they do, and they should absolutely be held accountable. It is because cops are also often on unpredictable situations and if you can’t look at something like this and see where pulling him out of the car could be justified, you can’t argue in good faith where the line is between this and a true abuse of power.

And if you can’t do that, the people in power will never take your argument seriously, and your will continue to be largely ignored.

That’s just naive. And that’s a big claim, a “massive risk” to the public, so back it up… Who got hurt in this instance?

Sure, but once they establish a pattern of non-compliance it doesn’t reset with each new instruction. They expect he will resist getting out of the car based on his refusal to roll down the window. At that point they have to choose whether to get him out of the car quickly, or risk non-compliance issue with that, which could involve fleeing or hitting people with his car.

When officer or public safety are at risk they will always choose to take someone into custody to stabilize the situation and then reassess from there.

The situation with the window can’t be separated from the treatment with the door.

The one I saw was longer, they knocked at least two different times and he kept telling them off.

John Stewart did a great bit where station after station reads the exact same script over and over again. It’s unsettling.

They actually said that they could have handled it better and made some procedural changes.

Missed opportunity to use “monogamouse”

You do the best you can with what you’ve got.

No one thinks they are saints. Give us a minute to celebrate having a non-geriatric candidate with a vp pick that isn’t an incel, abuser, robot, or anti-lgbt closeted homosexual.

Sounds like it’s time for someone to discover fur affinity!

I had a two part visit, about 45 min each, to test to see if I had asthma. My out of pocket after insurance was about $1,200.

Why would anyone question anything based on your comment?

You didn’t link to an article presenting information that supports you. You didn’t link to information showing why mercury in this type of use would be low.

You didn’t present any factual… Anything.

You didn’t even claim to be someone with training in this area that would give your opinion weight.

Your comment is the equivalent to saying you don’t believe elephants are real, but not even saying it is because you have never seen one, which would have still been a weak argument.

Opinions without evidence can be dismissed without evidence.

Well, if *YOU * don’t see any reason to worry we should probably just assume they aren’t polluting then.

Thanks for setting us straight.

There are no roles, only consequences. The real question here is what are the consequences, and we can’t know that.

I think the long stripey socks?

I think you are doing great, keep it up!

How sad was it that my first thought was that this was a ploy by anti feminists to undermine the power of a female superhero by implying that they were secretly a man ☹️

Yes, I know there is a difference, between a man and a trans women, but people that do things like that generally don’t.

Wait, there are people that don’t press Ctrl?

Four months until the actual election, not four months before people have to start planning for it. The logistics of finalizing, printing, and distributing materials for a nationwide election isn’t something that happens in a few weeks. It’s a lot less than four months until decisions need to be final and things need to be moving forward.

Fair enough.
