@sullensparrow@sgodofsk@fox_milder It looks like you can get damages from the owner and initiate proceedings to have the dog destroyed. DM if you want to talk more please
@ThePatWhalen@DanButtersChi@grok CPD has non-pursuit policies and officers can be personally liable for consequences of chases undertaken in violation of said policy. How do you propose they stop people if anyone can just drive away?
@ThePatWhalen@DanButtersChi@grok They likely can’t pursue, lawyers in many jurisdictions have determined that the risks from pursuit outweigh the benefit
No child should be hungry; that's why I'm waiting until the end of hunger to feed my children.
I notice that many of those telling me to feed them have failed to answer the basic question I wrestled with: why should my kids eat more than Sudanese kids just bc I have food?
- Permit judges to detain people based on dangerousness pre-trial;
- Fix discovery reform so that DAs can get convictions;
- Create a persistent misdemeanant enhancement;
- Use the persistent felon enhancements more aggressively;
- Restore the NYPD's manpower to pre-2020 sworn officer levels;
- Expand treatment beds for SMI and drug abuse;
- Expand the use of involuntary commitment for both.
@JennyGooz Wow, very sad to see Lauren Underwood speaking at this mess. Hopefully she’s being misled by staff and isn’t a radical herself @RepUnderwood
Executive director huffed that they “let kids be kids.” I said “well there’s being kids and then there is inappropriate behavior.” She was not interested in a conversation. Glad we established that the nice service was an outlier and that the congregation is still bizarre!
Nearly tricked into joining my family’s ancestral synagogue! We went to a family service full of normal kids. I told staff this was the first time I ever enjoyed a service there because the children were well-behaved and no one was ROLLER SKATING IN THE SYNAGOGUE.
Posting clips from the Naudet Bros 9/11 documentary, this scene shows the extreme degree of heroism and selflessness of the firefighters as they recognize in the early confusion that there’s a huge fire up on the 90th floor or so, and they’re going to need to climb up there with all their gear. Each guy they interview, almost nonchalantly, says “we’ll go up there and deal with it, we’ll get to it.” These guys carrying full hose packs (50-100+ lbs) their SCBA, all their tools, just focused on getting up 70 floors to people and helping them. Elite Americans, they planned to climb over an hour just to reach people before they got to work saving them.
@FrankBednarz@EsotericCD@tedfrank I guess I know fewer victims of violent crime but more people involved in car crashes caused by maniacs. So I don’t experience things as trending less chaotic. I recognize a real place in the post!
@FrankBednarz@EsotericCD@tedfrank I think it’s fair to generalize about the entire city since the decline is tied to poor governance. It has become more chaotic and the fact that there are relatively livable pockets doesn’t disprove it. I wish I could afford to move to the west or north suburbs!
@FrankBednarz@tedfrank I moved out of HP because of several incidents of assaults on the lakeshore bike path, including a man and his bike being thrown into the lake. It’s sad not to even be able to enjoy the amenities when we visit.
@tedfrank@FrankBednarz The Point also sucks now and so do the streets around it. Very crowded now by an underclass element making the whole place reek of marijuana since the city imposed curfews on the 31st Street beach.
