@ChaseMit@ellievhall You just activated a similar memory for me...
Big, football playing kid named Jeff Akers sitting in the back of my French class in the early 80s replying to every question the teacher asked:
"Oui, je suis une fille!"
It was so funny that even the teacher would laugh.
@RuthAtktweets@PoundShopBot@silverpebble If a family member took pictures of my belongings and posted them on the Internet without my knowledge or permission regardless of if their point was to insinuate that I had some issue I would be pissed off. That is unacceptable.
@lawn_destroya @FightLikeHell71 @TheJFreakinC My goal is not "to be right" to win an argument on X. My goal is to help people understand the true environment, whether we agree with it or not, so they don't act in ways that get them hurt. And, sadly, it will be those people who will be the ones hurt.
@lawn_destroya @FightLikeHell71 @TheJFreakinC You are incorrect. If it looks like fleeing (and that is open to interpretation, but "driving like a maniac" can fall into that category) they are allowed to stop someone. It is obviously being used as an excuse but that happens every day in traffic stops.
@FightLikeHell71 @TheJFreakinC I am not an attorney but the legal analysis is actually not correct (due to a recent Supreme Court ruling) & perpetuating what may be well intentioned, but factually wrong, information is harmful because it is leading to people act in ways that are getting them killed.
@spiritualshift_@TheJFreakinC Like it or not, Trump/DHS has given them this authority. Crazy as fuck? Yep. Technical legal at this point? Apparently so...
@RegardingThat@washingtonpost Perspective is misleading on that one. The video from the other side proves that only his arm was bumped and only because he was so desperate to shoot her as she tried to flee. Any l.e. officer knows that is an illegal use of lethal force.

@brian_p_k @Mr_d00td00t @BBCNews Exactly. No Level 1 authority. Unless they were part of a joint task force, the guy blocking her exit was very likely acting illegally as was the guy ordering her out of her vehicle.
@smalls2672 I get as frustrated as Perchik in Fiddler On The Roof listening to people pontificate on the wrongs in the world but then they just sit around dreaming that those in power will beneficently give up their corrupt advantages...
@OfAthenry I thought this was crazy that your teeth aren't yours (still do), but apparently they are considered toxic waste if they contain mercury fillings, plus the potential that they contain bacteria/viruses makes them a biohazard...
@DrFloSteiner@itsolelehmann I have had this exact concept myself, but I need a better name for my imagined company as the working name of "No Shit" doesn't have the best ring to it...
