Police officer’s suit against woman whose son was killed in collision ‘offensive’: Lawyer (ABC)
A police officer with a history of car crashes is suing a woman who’s car he crashed into, killing her child.
A New Mexico police officer with a history of being reprimanded for on-duty crashes filed a lawsuit against a woman whose 6-year-old son was killed when the officer slammed into their vehicle while speeding to a crime in progress.
Jonathan McDonnell of the Albuquerque Police Department filed the civil suit against Antoinette Suina, charging she “failed to yield to an emergency vehicle” when she turned in front of his speeding patrol car in 2017.
McDonnell’s suit counters one Suina filed in January against him and the city of Albuquerque, charging the officer’s “deliberate, intentional, and/or reckless” conduct led to the crash that killed her boy and left her and her 9-year-old daughter, Adriana, severely injured.
“Having killed Ms. Suina’s son, it’s somewhat offensive that he would turn around and sue her and heap more tragedy on this family,” the mother’s lawyer, Geoffrey Romero, told ABC News Thursday. “In effect, it’s blaming her for the death of her son.”
(more)
He was involved in five crashes and one unauthorised pursuit. He has been suspended three times.
(with pictures of the crash and a link to surveillance video showing it)
The officer is on disability leave for his injuries.

Plenty of them are saying she broke the law by not destroying the upper and lower receivers and making a sawed-off gun (or that she’s a woman and a man could have done it faster and this is why equal pay is BS)
a) The upper receiver is not required to be destroyed. (These would be the “magazine not clip” pedants.)
b) They don’t know what she did with the rest of the gun after the video.
c) There is 27% of any population which cannot be reached.
d) Unfortunately, gun stunts by Democrats don’t work out well in adverts. Jason Kander in Missouri against Roy Blunt comes to mind, where he assembled an AR-15 blindfolded in his advert.

re: #17 Kragar
“”The president is getting promises out of North Korea that haven’t been made in many recent years.”“
The President doesn’t know what he’s talking about.
Jong Un knows exactly what he’s getting and it’s the fact that he’s gotten Trump to treat him as an equal and opened the door to face to face talks despite fact that US policy has been no direct talks unless North Korea dismantles their nuclear program first.
That’s what Trump just flat-out ripped up and totally ignored. Jong Un hasn’t made any promises and has only gotten a win because he played Trump.
Everyone is playing Trump.
North Korea is playing him. South Korea is playing Trump too. On top of handling the go-between duties between Trump and Jong Un (in part because the US diplomatic corps has been gutted), the South indicated that they’ll use this as an opportunity to make the case they shouldn’t have tariffs applied to the steel and aluminum exported to the US.

Hey David Brooks: Counter-protest is not “shutting down” speech.
It is speech.
And Jordon Peterson is a theocrat, and a fool. We have enough wingnuts, we don’t need Canada’s. We took in Ted Cruz, isn’t that enough persecution?
On that Brooks article, what a pretentious pile of crap.
I would begin my stab at understanding by acknowledging that I grew up in one era and they grew up in another. I came of age in the 1980s. In that time, there was an assumption that though the roots of human society were deep in tribalism, over the past 3,000 years we have developed a system of liberal democracy that gloriously transcended it, that put reason, compassion and compromise atop violence and brute force.
Mr. Brooks, you do realise there were real nations three thousand years ago. (Sidebar, is Mr. Brooks a creationist?)
re: #3 Anymouse 🌹

I know this will sound pedantic but cutting through the barrel, gas tube and shroud is not destroying the gun. The “gun” is the lower receiver, the part with the serial number. That rifle can just be re-barreled and made good as new with three cheap mail order parts. Also, the gun will still shoot as is, it’ll just have a hell of a lot of muzzle blast and the charging handle will need to be cycled between shots.
Technically what she did there was film herself committing a felony violation of the NFA by making an illegal short barreled rifle.

Not only that, but only an idiot like Brooks could look at the current administration, current Congress, and current state of the entire right wing of our politics and talk with a straight face about how all this “gloriously transcended” tribalism and replaced it with “reason, compassion and compromise.”
re: #30 Anymouse 🌹
David Brooks is dedicated to the idea that David Brooks wasn’t part of the collapse of liberal democracy—starting in the 80s—when he and the other Reaganauts decided on the tribalist position that everyone to the left of them was fundamentally unserious and child-like, and could be a priori dismissed.
A castle he defends by continuing to insist that everyone to the left of him is fundamentally unserious and child-like, and can be a priori dismissed. And if reality—like, say, how the 2003 Iraq War played out, and David Brooks steaming hot takes on that war, and the way the hysterical hippies turned out to be correct—does not support that position, then by God David Brooks will re-write reality.

Only if that’s where she stopped. (If you really want to be a pedant about it, it was an illegal weapon between cutting through the barrel and destroying the other parts of the gun.)
That’s why I called it out as a pedant fail. They don’t know what she did with it. Heck, there might have been a cop off camera to take the remains of the weapon.

re: #39 Anymouse 🌹
Curious… why’d you hide that?
I posted it last night and didn’t. Am I using bad NSFW form?
I haven’t looked downstairs, and probably somebody has already made the point, but does anyone remember how the chicken wings howled when Obama suggested that he would be willing to at least talk with the prime minister of Iran? What a horror, right, what a surrender monkey? And then when he made an actual agreement with them and the world’s major nations that has stopped Iran’s nuke program to this day, it was TREASON!!!
Truly different strokes for different folks, I guess.
To me, the chaos in this whole situation is that it’s Seoul that’s effectively orchestrating these talks, if only to try to walk both sides back from armed confrontation. Because we have no ambassador to South Korea, and apparently because Tillerson’s balls reside in a jar in the White House walk-in fridge, Seoul feels it must actively take a part in finding a diplomatic solution to the matter rather than watching the back-and-forth dick-wagging turn into a shooting war.
re: #41 Anymouse 🌹
Only if that’s where she stopped. (If you really want to be a pedant about it, it was an illegal weapon between cutting through the barrel and destroying the other parts of the gun.)
That’s how the ATF views it. She created an illegal weapon, it doesn’t matter how long it existed in that form. The ATF is very pedantic about this kind of thing.
That’s why I called it out as a pedant fail. They don’t know what she did with it. Heck, there might have been a cop off camera to take the remains of the weapon.
It doesn’t matter what she did with it afterwards. She filmed herself committing a felony and posted it on Facebook for the entire world to see. Not smart. That she wants people to send her to Congress and write legislation just adds a layer of poetic irony to the situation.
I mean, I sympathize with where she’s coming from, but that was extremely not smart. It’s a textbook example of why it would serve liberals well not to be ignorant about guns. This isn’t merely mixing up a clip with a magazine, it’s flirting with a ten year prison sentence.

Sidebar answer: Mr. Brooks is an idiot.
Major newspaper editorial staff are consistently a window into how there’s no meritocracy.
Not just the counter-intuitive shitwits themselves, but the sheer mass of “intelligent” people who get caught up in pseudo-intellectual feints and bottom-barrel cleverness, overlooking the shitty base assumptions, shallowness of analysis and reference, and the frequency with which these folks backwards revise their own thinking while denying inconsistency or hypocrisy.
College-freshman rhetoric is marketable and consumable, and the buyers are people who should fucking know better because they have the money and position such that they could afford to learn how to think rigorously.

re: #50 goddamnedfrank
“Accidental discharge of a saw.”
Intent is required to complete a crime, even with ATF. If the intent was to create an illegal weapon, that would be one thing. If the intent is to destroy a weapon, tougher case for the ATF to make (plus they are understaffed thanks to GOP intransigence so I doubt they have time to deal with political stunts).
But yeah, as I noted above it is not good for Democrats to involve themselves in gun adverts (such as Jason Kander). Just focus on the issue of killing machines and being the real “pro-life” party.

The single best tell of the stupid that infects Brooks and his team of David Brooks impersonators is the way that aestheticism is substituted for morality, because moral reflections required self-inquiry, while politeness and good conduct are superficial externalities.

Veterans Affairs Secretary David Shulkin has reportedly cut off contact with top agency officials and now operates out of an office with an armed guard at the door amid ongoing tensions with top staff.
Shulkin, a VA holdover from the Obama administration promoted to the head job by President Trump, has canceled morning meetings with top Trump appointees in the department and hasn’t spoken to his public affairs chief in weeks. He fears that his aides in the nation’s second-largest bureaucracy, behind only the Pentagon, are actively lobbying the White House for his ouster, The Washington Post reports.

Nope. Don’t buy that. That gun pedantry canard is part of the problem, and an unbelievable crock of shit.
In an ideal world, we ask our political representatives to be open to good ideas, represent the wishes of their district, and listen to multiple points of view before making a decision in the public interest. We don’t ask that they be experts in every field they make decisions on. We don’t ask that they be doctors to make health care decisions, just that they listen to doctors. We don’t ask that they be economists, just that they understand the basics and that they listen to smart people. Only with sacred, precious guns do we insist on exacting terminology and complete precision of language, thought and deed from everyone.
Fuck that. They’re just guns. They’re not special, or more important than people. Americans have worshipped them long enough.

I have now had the interesting experience of a YouTube ad by a Polish nationalist group, denying that Poles facilitated Nazi war crimes.

The “law” to which you refer notes that Poland reserves the right to sue people for the term “Polish Death Camps” when they were “German Death Camps” on Polish-occupied territory.
They view that as slander. No Polish law prohibits Poles from talking about those events. Amazingly, no one called the cops on me to have me deported from Poland when I asked about that in a museum in Gdansk. They freely admitted some people volunteered to work at Stutthof Concentration Camp in Gdansk, but most were slave labour.

I’m not sure it’s necessarily the “death’ of expertise as it is the demonization of it. Conservatives have successfully ingrained the anti-intellectualism in the political sphere to where anyone who actually knows their shit is treated as the worst tyrant ever, and someone who has zero expertise is treated as the ‘fresh new perspective that we need’ precisely because they don’t know shit. Actual fucking knowledge is treated as a detriment at best, and a sin at worst.

You cannot kill bullying with kindness. It does not work because you’re not dealing with people who see kindness and Grace as assets. It’s seen as weak. What does work? The same amount of force plus a little more. That applies to physical and strategic moves. Fuck them and their feelings. With a rusty chainsaw. It requires strength, because as we see, bullies and assholes don’t like being challenged at ALL. But it works. The students in Parkland aren’t taking any shit. Maybe the rest of us can learn from that. Fuck them.
Sen. Sherrod Brown of Ohio noted in a spirited attack on the banking bill going through the Senate that Equifax got a provision inserted into it that would prohibit anyone from suing them over their massive data breach.
Sen. Elizabeth Warren of Massachusetts notes the bill can’t pass without the support of the Democrats that are supporting it now, and suggests folk with Democratic senators should be calling them to say “no.”

The denigration of expertise and the wilful glorification of ignorance is what got us where we are, this is true. And having experts in their field is crucial to good governance, also true.
But I think it is unnecessary to dismiss a fairly lame political stunt such as this on the grounds of gun pedantry. The stunt is obviously not designed to show her expertise in the field of guns, unlike, say, that guy who made an ad of him assembling one blindfolded. Whether you agree with the idea of destroying the guns or not, Advanced Gun Knowledge is not the core theme of this stunt, nor is it really central to the discussion. I don’t know, nor do I really care, if ATF is in fact so pedantic about the nature of barrels and lower receivers that you can be imprisoned for taking a gun apart in the incorrect order. Making the argument about that instead of the point the video is really about is, however, deflection by pedantry. Perhaps that’s not your intention, but it’s certainly the intention of the rest of the mooks posting on that thread.
President Trump is setting more preconditions and ground rules for meeting with Robert Mueller, a representative of his own government, than meeting with Kim Jong Un, a totalitarian dictator.

The revised deal eliminates some requirements in the original TPP demanded by U.S. negotiators, including rules to ramp up intellectual property protection of pharmaceuticals.
Do you think the revised deal resolves the concerns you had with the first one?

re: #140 Belafon
Another change to the TPP is it left out the worker protections the Obama administration had included.
The original TPP, which is currently under renegotiation after U.S. President Donald Trump pulled America out of the deal, included strong provisions that demanded all member countries eliminate child and forced labour, adopt and maintain laws and practices governing “acceptable conditions of work,” and uphold the right to collective bargaining.
But some countries, including Malaysia and Vietnam, sought to opt out of such provisions during the talks, something Canada felt was untenable.
Those countries have now come back onside, International Trade Minister François-Philippe Champagne said, and have agreed to the terms of the original TPP.
“We got a better deal for Canada, we were also able to enhance the progressive elements — as the prime minister says you don’t do trade in the 21st century like you did before,” he said.
All countries have agreed now to implement regulations around minimum wages, hours of work and occupational safety and health, for example, something the original TPP called for.

The Trump Organization has donated $151,470 in foreign government profits at its hotels and similar businesses last year to the U.S. Treasury, an executive said in a statement Friday.
George Sorial, the executive vice president and chief compliance counsel, said the Feb. 22 voluntary donation fulfills the company’s pledge to donate profits from foreign government patronage while Donald Trump is president.

Man arrested for chopping off his son’s hand over porn habit: report https://t.co/cWBK3pnKuk

A butcher surrendered to police and is being held on attempted murder charges after admitting to police he chopped the right hand of his 18-year-old son for watching pornography on his smartphone, the Hindustan Times in India reports.
Mohammad Qayyum Qureshi, 45, caught his son “red-handed” watching a porn film. The father tried to take the phone, but the son resisted and bit the hand of his father.
The son fled their home, but returned home late in the night.
Police said that the next morning, “both father and son quarreled on the same issue again.”
“In a fit of anger, Qayuum picked up the butcher’s knife and chopped off Khalid’s right hand,” police continued. “Hearing the son’s screams, the other family members came and immediately took him to a nearby hospital, where the doctors said the hand was 90% severed and the chances of restoring it are bleak.”

I didn’t know about Loesch’s tattoo, this is the passage it references:
For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms. Therefore put on the full armor of God, so that when the day of evil comes, you may be able to stand your ground, and after you have done everything, to stand.
Then there’s a bunch more about what the armor of God is, but it’s less interesting because it talks about peace and whatnot…
Stand firm then, with the belt of truth buckled around your waist, with the breastplate of righteousness in place, and with your feet fitted with the readiness that comes from the gospel of peace. In addition to all this, take up the shield of faith, with which you can extinguish all the flaming arrows of the evil one. Take the helmet of salvation and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God.
All quotes from the NIV bible.
re: #181 dangerman

I didn’t know about Loesch’s tattoo, this is the passage it references:
Then there’s a bunch more about what the armor of God is, but it’s less interesting because it talks about peace and whatnot…
All quotes from the NIV bible.
No cite of the Old Testament verse that says: “Don’t get a tattoo”?

Allegedly, that refers to the profits gained from foreign government officials using his properties.
Of course, since the Trump Org. nor the Treasury will release the info on that, we’ll just have to take their word for it. Somehow that part didn’t really make it into my newspaper.
There are already FOIA requests for the documents. I’m guessing the number is going to be much closer to zero than it is to $157k… or maybe it’s more like $157k in billing to the State Department and Secret Service for additional security.

I’m not sure Bush’s stature is such that it makes sense for him being the guy. I don’t think many consider him any sort of Statesman, and I’m to be honest, I’m not sure there are any of those left on the GOP side. We’d be a billion times better off if it was someone in the GOP Congressional leadership, preferably someone who wasn’t about to retire. But I’m just not sure anyone has that profile in courage left in them.

The standoff continues at the Yountville Veterans Home.
The press is starting to report he entered with an automatic weapon and body armour.
YOUNTVILLE, Calif. (KGO) —
A man wearing body armor and armed with an automatic weapon stormed into a Napa County veterans home Friday morning and has taken at least three people hostage, according to reports.
Law enforcement from the Napa County, Marin and the California Highway Patrol have surrounded the Veterans Home of California in Yountville, which is the largest veterans’ residence community in the United States.

I think it’s clear that the Mueller investigation will need to extend to complicit GOP members of Congress. Whether it was GOP natural instinct or an actual planned conspiracy, we have GOP members of Congress aiding and abetting numerous criminal acts of the Trump administration.

Given McMaster’s book, Dereliction of Duty, that was actually fairly critical (based on the summaries I’ve seen) of the military’s failure to pushback on the poor planning of the Vietnam War, they may just want him out. Can’t imagine he’d be particularly on board with another land war in Asia (nuclear edition).

From that:
Cases of art censorship on Facebook continue to surface. The latest work deemed “pornographic” is the 30,000 year-old nude statue famously known as the Venus of Willendorf, part of the Naturhistorisches Museum (NHM) collection in Vienna. An image of the work posted on Facebook by Laura Ghianda, a self-described “artivist”, was removed as inappropriate content despite four attempts to appeal the decision.
The early Stone Age statue, which depicts a voluptuous woman with prominent labia, was discovered in Austria in 1908 and is famed for its detailed carving and realism. Ghianda’s post denouncing Facebook’s censorship in December last year was shared over 7,000 times.

Finished Altered Carbon today. Still can recommend. More for the cinematic stuff than the story itself, but still.
Agree, it didn’t really live up to the noir detective potential I saw in the beginning but all things considered it was decent as far as modern sci fi goes. I like the melding of concepts from Ghost in the Shell and Bladerunner into something that still managed to stand on its own, even if it wobbled quite a bit.

Biagio Martinelli da Cesena: his mug is still on the Sistine Wall: donkey ears, snake and all. He must have been a real asshole: when he complained to the Pope about what Michelangelo had done, the Pontiff asked him where Biagio was painted, and when he said “in Hell”, Leo X Paul III replied sorry, that was out of his jurisdiction, so he couldn’t help…..
Though eventually, they did hire another painter to add some strategic drapery to the “Last Judgement”: IIRC, the overpainting wasn’t removed until restorations in the 20th Century

re: #170 Belafon
I’m reading the book. I haven’t read any hard boiled detective books before, so I’m not entirely sure how to compare them, but the author is doing a decent job of making the tech seem both a normal part of society, and at the same time showing how the dark side of its use would have evolved as well.
If it makes you want to read more hard boiled detective books, I highly recommend Raymond Chandler (1940’s) and Michael Connelly (1990’s to present). Both are set in SoCal. Walter Mosely’s main character (Easy Rawlins) isn’t quite as hard-boiled, but the settings and plot are still pretty noir (post-WWII, mostly black characters — about evenly split between native Angelenos and transplants from Louisiana.)
Still in the race

Ok, I’ll bite. How does making the cast more diverse hurt the story? It’s been a very long time since I’ve read the book (and might need to dig up a copy because I loved it as a kid), but I don’t remember the race of the characters being central to the plot…
It hurts the story because bigots are seething about the distracting miscegenation on screen.//
