Although, a single dish with all those meats could be very tasty, that scale on which they did it and their method likely resulted in very poor cooking. Logistically, to rotisserie it , they had to put the larger animal (beef) on the outside, but that means the beef is getting the most overdone...

If he did that, he would have just dropped the case without ever going to grand jury, as he'd do in a civilian case with far more evidence of innocence than guilt. Since cops are allowed to carry and use guns, and be the person to initiate a conflict that then escalates to violence, it is very...

No, appearances count when they appear that way to reasonable people, and thereby suggest plausible bias. When they only appear that way to unreasonable people then appearance count much less. As you and many others haven proven, unreasonable people will invent any excuse to object, so bending...

So, you're unaware that cops are called to intervene and stop ongoing criminal activity? It is what they do for every domestic violence call, every break in call, every drug dealing call, etc., etc.. Not to mention, the person most likely to commit the next crime is a person who already...

Sadly, the distinction is clearly not obvious to most promoters here of the idea, since nearly all of their responses to me presume that whether we should have cameras and whether cops are being normal humans to resist them are one and the same question. Their replies directly to my comments...

. Your denial of this clear objective fact that no rational person would disagree with shows a total unwillingness to engage in honest and reasoned discussion of the issue. Given this, along with the vacuous lack of reason and fact in your posts, I'll be ignoring you from now on. Edited

It also has zero relevance to the claim I am objecting to which is that cops would have no problem with the cameras if they weren't a bunch of criminals trying to cover up their tracks. Actually, they are also private citizens protected by all the same laws. They are human beings with civil...

BTW, the question of whether we should record every sound and move cops make is separate from whether it is predictable that they, like almost all humans, would prefer not to have that done, even if they are doing nothing criminal or wrong. My response is only to the inane and unempathic...

Such a limited access policy would not be sustainable. Not only would the footage be routinely hacked, but given the supervillan view of cops by many, the same people saying the DA cannot be trusted to prosecute cops, will say no one in government can be trusted to determine what on the tapes is...

Really, because my whole life, I have opposed most of what the US military has done, and despite having 2 brothers in the Army get nauseous at rhetoric about soldiers and cops being heroes. I oppose all criminalization of drug use and sales, and generally think that most cops (including my...

Except the research shows this is false. The cops expect that many of the targets will have guns and that those targets could arise any moment, and every new target could be one with a gun. Yet, they rarely shoot the person without a gun, and overall have a higher threshold for shooting a target...

I am not ignoring his history on police shootings. I am merely not making the same baseless unreasoned assumption that you are that the cops he failed to indict deserved to be indicted. Given that very few of the people that cops shoot are unarmed people without any evidence of current or past...

Wrong. That is the point of a Grand Jury when it is convened on the grounds of there being enough evidence that the prosecutor thinks the accused is guilty. Ideally, that would be the only grounds for a Grand Jury, but unfortunately people like you would go irrational apeshit in cases like this...

If your job was to shovel shit, carve up corpses, or deliver news of death to loved ones would you want your every moment on the job filmed and put on youtube? Even when cops are acting reasonably and justly, most of what we pay them to do is ugly and unpleasant. Like 99.9% of the people on...

Gee, more gross misrepresentations of the facts by ksen. Who'da thunk? The actual results show that cops rarely shoot the unarmed targets and are slightly less likely to shoot black targets. They are quicker and far more accurate in their decisions to shoot than non-cops, and the tiny 10...

Total nonsense. Defense attorneys present no evidence other than that which supports innocence, they make highly emotional appeals, put the family of the defendant on stage to build his character as a loving person, etc.. McCulloch presented all of the core evidence. The fact that almost all of...

So, even though there is no evidence of bias or conflict of interest, or unprofessionalism by the prosecutor, you hope the court pretends that there was. Predictable. Just because the outcome of a process doesn't match your ideologically preferred outcome, doesn't mean the process itself was...

The Grand jury are members of the public. Thus, even when the transcripts are not released, using a Grand Jury to demonstrate the lack of evidence to warrant formal charges and a trial is far more transparent than a prosecutor deciding on their own that there are no grounds for criminal charges.

I am saying that when irrational nutjobs are willing to burn down a city because a cop shoots a black person, without regard for any facts, then the prosecutor has no real choice but to convene a grand jury even when they know the evidence doesn't come close to warranting criminal charges...

Your right, that is a meaningful stat because it shows there was nothing unusual about this Grand Jury outcome which is only comparable to other law enforcement shooting where indictments are uncommon and not comparable to murder grand juries in general. Typically, a prosecutor only brings a...
