This is a serious situation, so I’m sorry if this seems a bit flippant, but anyone who’s “startled” that a 14-year-old can be a racist dipshit hasn’t met many 14-year-olds.
During the evidentiary hearing, the Court asked the State’s expert, Mr. Allen, whether he believed Snapchat met Act 689’s definition of a regulated “social media company.” He responded in the affirmative, explaining that Snapchat’s “primary purpose” matched Act 689’s definition of a “social media company” (provided it was true that Snapchat also met the Act’s profitability requirements). When the Court asked the same question to the State’s attorney later on in the hearing, he gave a contrary answer—which illustrates the ambiguous nature of key terms in Act 689. The State’s attorney disagreed with Mr. Allen—his own witness—and said the State’s official position was that Snapchat was not subject to regulation because of its “primary purpose.”
Something has got to be done about this recent flood of vaguely worded (selectively enforced) bills.
I saw the video hours ago and yeah that officer really overstepped himself here. I’ve watched a lot of bodycam videos and some chases and more times - officers got the fuck out of the way when any vehicle was heading towards them. Smart officers shoot tires and use resourceful means to negate the criminal. Aggressive gun-happy officers just shoot away.
No one should be shooting at tires, that isn’t as easy as they make it in the movies (in this case yes it would have been). However, you should NEVER point a gun at something you do not intend to kill.
Yeah and let’s not forget this was simple shoplifting. A crime, sure, but not nearly one serious enough to start shooting at a fleeing suspect. Just let her go and issue a warrant.
At this point, I firmly believe that the reason for the botched police intervention and cover-up is that the officers who were there minutes after the first shots made use of their renowned trigger discipline and us-vs them training and shot some of the kids fleeing the massacre.
Correct me if I am wrong, but didn’t some of the surviving student attest to this fact… that they heard and some even saw the cops kills some of the victims… being hearsay, the media wrote it off as rumors, but the parents of these students and the students themselves have never chamged their accounts of what they say they heard and saw?
