Talk to him and see what the deal is, tell him he needs to leave or he will be arrested and then arrest him if needed. They're supposed to be professionals, not a bunch of thugs pissed off because this guy is slowing them down. All they cared about was keeping their line moving. And that wasn't a tense situation. While there was tension because they were obsessed with marching in a line around the square, it was some old guy with a rant where there's one other protester anywhere around them. Cripes, grow an ounce of common sense.

Start with yourself. In what world do you believe he's reaching at their belt while he's got his cell phone in his hand? Clearly the officers didn't think so or he would have been arrested, or beat up. They just wanted him moving back and out of their way. This is professional law enforcement and the behavior of those 2 officers, given the situation, is completely unprofessional. Just because a citizen is being a jackhole doesn't give them carte blanche. It's what needs to change.

Some people are just dysfunctional beyond statistics, and also enjoy condemning people to them. Early in LeBron's career people said he couldn't shoot the 3. He went to work in the off-seasons and maybe it's not central to his game, but he most definitely can shoot the 3. Josh has the same competitiveness, which some enjoy discounting/ignoring. He'll strengthen his weaknesses at least enough to be a successful NFL QB and probably more.

Thanks a ton, great to hear. I just hope other supervisors do their job as well as you. Stay safe and God bless.

I had a question for you, being in law enforcement and seeming like a reasonable poster. I am curious, is there any internal mechanisms to deal with officers who get a little too extreme in carrying out their duty? ie fellow officers reporting heavy handedness and working within the system to help the reported officer adjust their responses before it becomes a problem? Or does it need external evidence, video or citizen complaints/charges, to precipitate internal action? TIA

One of the interesting but less talked about items from an officer involved in the Floyd death. Bottom of this article: https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/us/false-claim-targets-wife-of-officer-charged-in-floyds-death/ar-BB14P0pz?li=BBnb7Kz "Charges have not been filed against Thao and the other officers at the scene. Thao was sued in federal court in 2017 for alleged excessive force, according to online records obtained by The Associated Press. According to the lawsuit, Lamar Ferguson claimed that in 2014 Thao and his partner stopped him and beat him up while he was on his way to his girlfriend’s house. The lawsuit was settled for $25,000." Have to wonder if Thao faced any internal discipline for 2017, if not maybe a good place to start for actionable change. A history of excessive force.

How about carbon neutrality utilizing nuclear power?

Does Eric Wood have a beard or did one of his kids put dish soap bubbles on his chin?

There was nothing I turned around. My life wasn't much different before or after I made the decision, because it never had any negative consequences. I've always been an infrequent social drinker, I just got a little older and a little wiser, and chances are good Ed will also. Here's a link from NHTSA showing the repeat rate of DWI offenders averages around 33 percent: https://one.nhtsa.gov/people/outreach/traftech/1995/tt085.htm Here's also a self reporting study by the CDC showing the rate of impaired driving is highest in 21 to 24 year olds and decreases after that. Table 1 showing this is near the bottom of the document (past the main text and source citations): https://www.cdc.gov/mmwr/preview/mmwrhtml/mm6039a4.htm While ~33% is too a high rate of repeat offenders, people convicted are NOT equally likely to have future convictions, as you are trying to say. I'd also bet there are many like me who took too many risks thinking they're ok to drive but grow up on their own without needing an actual accident or arrest.

Certainly law enforcement is entitled to Oliver's PHI in this case but it still is protected otherwise. HIPAA still applies. But certainly if your buddy managed to spot the info in the hospital that's on them.

You know that's a HIPAA violation right? Your friend is ok with you discussing where the info came from on a public BB?

Wow. Guess what sunshine? Plenty of people DO grow out of it. I'm one of them. In my middle twenties my friends and I wouldn't drive if we were "too drunk" but all liked to think we could handle our alcohol and drink "just enough" to still be ok to drive home. Until that one time I thought I was ok and the alcohol caught up when I got behind the wheel. God blessed me that night and I realized how lucky I was and that was that. Out of my seven other drinking buddies they all realized it too, only one got caught and had to do rehab (the rehab people were astonished they made him go), but it worked for him also. All by the age of 30. No excuse for what we did. The rest of us were lucky we were never caught. But perceived invulnerability in our stupid brains certainly played a role. Wisdom in our group was very much lacking back then. Repeat offenders who have a chronic problem are the most likely to get caught because they do it most often. And yes, drinking and driving is done at all ages but for you to declare that no one grows out of it is its own ignorance. Continue to wallow in your interpretation of those statistics. You should do a poll on here and ask if Mr. WEO is ignorant or open minded when discussing topics? I think most of us know how that would turn out.

Thanks for the videos OP. Man, he was running over all kinds of guys from USC, UW, etc. More than I had seen in my limited highlight watchings. Two things strike me, this guy is very measured, intelligent and he doesn't display a lot of emotion. Kind of funny he put the youtube stuff out, it's ok to watch as a fan but he's not the most engaging personality. Give him credit for already looking to brand and sell himself though. Moss mode vs beast mode may look similar, but behind it there's a huge difference in intelligence and approach. I think he'll be the fit here Lynch never was. Really excited to get him playing, him and Devon should be one of the best tandems this year.

And tragically, no one ever offed her. Hey, that's not funny damn it!?⚡ That never happened!

I don't think so because my head would have exploded!?

Angela Lansbury. Murder She Wrote. A show glorifying a nosy, sanctimonious old hag as some kind of super sleuth just drove me up the wall. She was my epileptic strobe light, my seizure a glorious stranglehold of her turkey wattle neck. Of course my mom loved the show, I just had to quickly twitch away to the other side of the house when the theme music came on.?

Yeah, as many great plays as that defense could make we can thank Walt Corey for them being soft. Saw an interview back then in the USA Today, Walt didn't believe in giving them a lot of rules, stunts, responsibilities and to me that's why we were soft. He liked to just "line them up and let 'em play". Part of the blame also falls on Marv Levy, despite the score of the first super bowl our defense got badly outplayed there and in the next 2 , (the entire team folded its tents in second half #4) and Levy never made the coaching change. Definition of insanity, IMO. Drove me crazy at the time, I'll always believe that D could have been far more elite. Never bought the "no huddle means the defense spends more time on the field. True to a degree, but a shut-down D is a shut-down D.

Great interview. Most significant thing to me was in scouting QB's Daboll would quickly teach formations, personnel group, playcall. QB exits the room, Daboll would draw on the board and QB would come back in and be timed to match formation with playcall in 30 sec or less, testing quick processing. Same exact process and plays for each QB candidate. Josh did great according to Beane, JA should be the real deal for us. But just glad to confirm our management understands this importance and grateful to have Daboll back for another crucial year in JA's development.

Voted for the middle option but I think Josh finishes just outside the top 10. Deep game took a back seat last year because Daboll focused on JA's timing and reads in the short to intermediate game. And JA progressed but still really needs work on quicker decisions at game speed. His speed of mental processing post-snap. And understanding the design of the play and incorporating it into his decision making (ex. passing play shows single coverage pre-snap but post-snap middle of field opens up for late crossing route. JA relied on pre-snap read last year, now needs to wait for late route if his pocket holds up.) I expect more emphasis on the deep game, but Diggs' ability to flash open in the intermediate routes and YAC doesn't necessarily make it so. Definitely curious to see how Daboll tasks him out of the gate. So, given his rawness, I expect he'll make a jump but it'll be most notable after midseason and then lookout for 2021! Unless he really fails this year I expect he'll get his new contract.

Wow, what a whiny "B" McVay is. To clarify, the Rams play the Cards week 13 (12/6) and have to suffer the 90 minute flight home Sunday night to LA then square off with the Pats on 12/10. WRT west coast games, I'm of the mind that ya fly there Saturday, try to keep your EST bedtime, play, then fly back probably Monday morning. Though I don't suffer jet lag much on the times I've flown West so I'm not a good judge of what's best.

I can see if you've got a problem with his style, but no other announcer provides as much insight into the game/strategy and it's not even close IMO. Beth Mowins would be a disaster. Her voice is grating and her excitement, actually everything about her style, feels forced. She needs to stick to those backwoods late night college games for a while, like 20 more years.

Trying to politicize everything in hindsight gets tiring. It's not easy to forsee a once in a lifetime pandemic. I'm NOT a Cuomo fan and he certainly made mistakes, same as Trump, but he isolated New Rochelle early and I think he believed isolating and testing was the way to go before realizing there wasn't appreciable testing resources! None of our leaders were perfect here but for this type of event how could we have expected them to be? Our citizenry has also been less than perfect in following instructions meant to save lives. It's just America, do we band together to get through this and prevent future occurrences or just bicker about the past? We've all heard about Avian and swine flu, etc that never panned out as awful as they sounded. Didn't help that everyone wanted to compare numbers of an emergent virus vs an endemic influenza virus either. It would be nice if everyone could learn from their mistakes and move forward wiser.

It's a good point about S. Korea and NYC admitting people too late. As far as Sweden, the picture at this market was taken April 25th https://www.voanews.com/covid-19-pandemic/sweden-says-it-prepared-fight-covid-19-long-term Tons of pictures of people there gathered together in restaurants, bars and parks. Articles about nursing home staff saying they are not masked and not doing much to prevent spread of infection. So yeah, I'm not impressed with their Covid flattening steps and choose to look at them in comparison to OH and MI. Is your cell phone sourcing in the other directory? Is it the US spring breakers being tracked or the general population?

Two things: 1. Increased and focused testing can make a difference. 4/17 to 4/21 Ohio had enough extra testing and targeted their prisons which exploded the new cases. The vast majority were asymptomatic and probably never would have been tested under normal circumstances. 2. While the 17% per week sounds intimidating, Ohio, which IMO has done a good job with their flattening, sees at least a 2% daily increase of cases and often 3-4% (especially since increased testing). Looking at the above numbers, 24,322 to 28,437 over a week: 2% of 24,322 = 486 4% of 24,322 = 972 486 x 7 days = 3402 972 x 7 = 6804 Which in itself can account for the weekly increase. Obviously they need to start shrinking but bottom line are not unusual. In Ohio, despite the 2-4% increasing cases, the number of intensive care patients is s-l-o-wly coming down and overall hospitalized is static. https://www.cleveland.com/coronavirus/2020/05/mapping-ohios-21576-coronavirus-cases-wednedays-updates-and-trends.html

We sure are. That's why Sweden is so critical to me. Being in Ohio, population ~11 mil, Michigan pop ~ 10 mil and Sweden pop ~10 mil. Sweden's worse off then Ohio but better than Michigan (in terms of deaths) so will they mitigate or escalate? If the former than USA should do ok. If the latter look out. Part of what makes this country great is that independent spirit and not wanting to be told what to do by our government. Sadly, it works against us now. If people were exploding blood in the streets maybe more people would wake up and realize the importance of lockdown and preventative measures. But, given Sweden's results thus far I'm hopeful reopening doesn't create a bigger mess. You look at how S. Korea, China took symptomatic people and isolated them in gyms, dorms, etc. There'd be a civil war here if we tried to do that! So, here we go...
