A better question is what's with the two cops coming out drawing on a man pinned by two cops already, and then a third cop coming out behind all four of them who reaches for their gun before seemingly to think better of drawing with four cops on top of one dude.

WAR CRIME SYNDICAT posted:I get the feeling that the whole Iraq war thing is something that eats at him every single day of his life. As it should. I just don't get that feeling from other presidents or administrations when it comes to their mistakes costing lives. There are some stories about LBJ post White House that can be interpreted that way.

Worst I ever hurt myself was when I was working a hospital security job and tackled a patient who was punching the poo poo out of an EMT. During all of the ruckus my radio had slipped around from the side of my belt to my back, and when I tackled the patient we rolled and I slammed into a tile wall hard enough to break the radio. Took me the better part of five months to be able to walk without pain. This was 2004, and in retrospect I'm lucky that I didn't come out with an oxy addiction because the doctor at the ED had seen the whole thing and just handed me four big sample packs of it along with a prescription for Soma as I was leaving.

And they lost Ryan. That....is a really, really good way to piss off like 95% of the officers in the entire military. Undermining them by blaming them for following your orders is, just, wow. You might as well take morale out back behind the shed and shoot it in the head now. If people start seeing orders they can't refuse in one hand and blame for those same orders getting their own troops killed in the other hand, people are gonna start thinking really, really long and hard about how they need to approach that situation. That's purely on the self-interest side of the house. If you have any noble () ideals like possibly laying down your life for your country with the knowledge that your higher ups have your back and will do their best to prevent that, only allowing it when the cost to the nation is worth your sacrifice, welp, there goes that loving idea.

But the point is don't thumb fingers when you sign off on it or tell someone to do it.

Seems out of character for Mattis, hopefully we get more details into this one day. Saw a video on fb just now on a bill trump signed today that promotes women in STEM. Anyone have any insight or thoughts on this?

FastestGunAlive posted:Seems out of character for Mattis, hopefully we get more details into this one day. There were 2 bills: -1 literally just adds a line to the charter of an existing organization that promotes women in STEM that the org should also promote women in STEM entrepreneurial and commercial and not just laboratory roles -1 instructs NASA to provide a proposal to expand a program where they organize mentorships for women in STEM. This one also has language specific to making sure that commercial STEM paths are included. So nothing bad, with a bit of the usual dose of Republicans elevating private industry. But overall minimal and I don't think either bill actually provides any money to do anything.
