You fail to mention a few other things. For the sake of completeness, allow me to... 1. He was missing the bottom of both legs but this guy could still move fast. Watch the video. 2. He had already stabbed someone that day causing massive injuries and was still carrying a huge knife, presumably the same one he stabbed the other person with. 3. The guy had a huge upper body and could certainly do a lot of damage to a child, OAP, small woman, another disabled person that he encountered while fleeing police. 4. One of the 2 officers involved was also black. As in Tyre Nichols case, it seems to be common to mention that the victim was black but not the officers. Now I am not saying it was justified, far from it - an enquiry will be needed and the full facts will have to come out before we can establish that. My first thoughts are that a tazer could have been used but maybe it already had been tried unsuccessfully, I don't know. But for the sake of accuracy these factors I mentioned should not be ignored, deliberately or otherwise. I certainly wouldn't want my 76 year old mother to encounter this guy as he fled police.

I guess they realized that when they are making a token effort to pretend to abide by competition laws, calling themselves the Thailand Tobacco Monopoly kind of gives the game away ????.

They really need to bring Vaping under the umbrella of the Thailand Tobacco Monopoly and then legalize and tax it. They are embarrassing themselves on the international stage by making it illegal with a 5 year prison sentence for possessing a device. 5 years! For something 95% safer than smoking a cigarette. ???? It makes the place seem like a basket case.

Can't say I'm a fan of the song, but banning it is ridiculous. They'll be banning "Sweaty Betty" by The Macc Lads next... ????

Be that as it may, the fact that several EU countries have higher inflation than Britain proves that Brexit is not the cause of the high inflation.

Interesting how they mention that the victim was black, but not that the officers who beat him to death were black. Also, I found this comment interesting. I think Randal Worcester might disagree with that statement. https://www.nydailynews.com/news/national/ny-randal-worcester-case-two-cops-charged-20230125-cs7ionh5ofde5bzezltn74s754-story.html Time to stop playing the race card, this is about police brutality, not race.

That's good news. Although having been through the Australian Outback, I'm not sure there would be much discernible difference had the capsule exploded. ????

Surely a trial first would be a good idea? Or are we locking up people who hold the "wrong" views without due process now? I know that's secretly what many hardcore left wing extremists would like to see. Just to add, I think Tate is a bit of an idiot (so no strawman arguments about me being a fan please) but everyone deserves fair treatment by the justice system.

Thanks.

You do realize that it's possible they were both at fault?

You didn't criticize my comments. You were unable to do that so you made a fatuous comment about me. Weak... If you don't care about my credentials, why mention them in the first place?

If you don't want to know what I think, don't ask. It's very easy to ignore people whose opinion you don't respect, I demonstrate this with you all the time ????. BTW you'd be very surprised if you knew my Psychological credentials. Although I have to admit my legal credentials are probably only marginally superior to yours.

So if a white man is beaten by white officers, that is racism against white people? Tell Randal Worcester that.

The war on a healthier alternative to cigarettes has begun. Meanwhile, weed and tobacco can be smoked legally.

3 reasons. 1. He would be very foolish not to testify given all the people testifying against him (David Halls for example). He will want to have his say. 2. His arrogance will convince him that he will do a great job on the stand. 3. A narcissist like him will be unable to resist the fuel that such an occasion will provide.

Good old Will is back. I wonder if Chris Rock will have a cameo role? Could make for some good punch lines. Maybe a bit of slapstick comedy... If Jada doesn't like it, that's hair loss.

I guess you'd need to know his baseline, but to me he seems to be pretty irritated at the 42 minute mark. These police are like pussycats compared to the questions the prosecution will ask. He's already claimed he didn't pull the trigger. Let's see how that claim plays out in the courtroom. No doubt he will blame everyone except himself, despite the fact he was a producer of the movie, he had the gun in his hand when it went off and he was pointing it at the deceased. Also reports he was on the phone during the gun training, other gun safety incidents on the set prior to this one etc. https://www.telegraph.co.uk/world-news/2023/02/01/alec-baldwin-inattentive-rust-gun-training-say-prosecutors-actor/ https://www.latimes.com/entertainment-arts/business/story/2021-10-22/alec-baldwin-rust-camera-crew-walked-off-set He's got a lot of explaining to do.

He appears to be incredibly arrogant and out of touch with reality. I don't think he's going to do well under questioning. I think he will be indignant and irriatated that someone has the temerity to question him. It won't play out well. I mean I do kind of understand the people that are standing behind him 100%. It's got to be a lot safer than standing in front of him ????.

Nonsense. The message was very clear that supporting the Ukranians would escalate the situation. If you think that publicly declaring that you are sending tanks from the US to help Ukranians fight Russians does not amount to the same thing is ridiculous. If he'd have sent tanks and planes with American crews and pilots you'd have said "Ah, doesn't count - he didn't send any trains". Laughable.

The left paint everything as a racial problem. The fact that a black man kills another black man makes no difference to them, they'll still blame it on racism. It's beyond ridiculous at this point. The word is so overused and misused that it has become meaningless, I just roll my eyes when I hear it now.

Makes you wonder why a few months ago, he declared sending them would amount to WW3.

It doesn't need to be extremely reckless, it just needs to be reckless. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Manslaughter_(United_States_law) Pointing a gun at someone, when you do not know if it is loaded or not, then pulling the trigger is negligent AND reckless. The state would have been confident of securing a conviction to charge him. He's toast.

Until now, police brutality has just been another reason for the left to scream Racism, and then go looting. If anything good can come from this, it must be the realization that the issue is with the culture, attitude and training of the American Police force, irrespective of the race of the police officers or the victim.

I am sure both sides will stop the violence immediately now that Mr Blinken has educated them on the "best way".

Just need to wait a few months like they did for the tanks.
