girlfreddy , in Mark Ruffalo slams US govt after Israel shoots dead activist

“Israel shoots dead activist” has to be the dumbest headline ever. What’s wrong with clarifying it by saying “Israel murders American activist”?

dylanmorgan ,

The word order is incorrect English. “Israel shoots dead activist” indicates they shooting was done to a corpse. The correct wording would be “Israel shoots activist dead” meaning that Israel shot a living activist resulting in their death. As far as using the word “murder,” while I agree with it that is a legal concept that journalists avoid when discussing state actions to guard against charges of libel.

Shoots dead activist

There are less clumsy ways of phrasing that Israel killed someone.

Just by reordering the words to “shoots activist dead.” Done. Copy editor job unlocked.

actually ,

Usually the awkward wording is avoided by not mentioning the victims individually at all. There are too many of them each day. They blur into daily totals .

But here we have a pretty young American. And people will be talking about her for at least a week. And people who write these headlines are out of practice saying just one person was killed.

Florida cop-man proving yet again how endemic racism is.

ByteOnBikes , in Most US voters say plastics industry should be held responsible for recycling claims – report

Remember in the 70s when the cigarette industry said their products were safe?

Remember in the 80s when the candy industry said it was the lack of exercise that was the cause of overweight?

Remember in the 90s when the gun industry pointed the blame to personal responsibility as the cause of school shootings?

Maybe just maybe industries can’t self regulate. I can go on.

Whistleblowers should be treated like heroes. Like not just protections where the reward is that they get to keep their job working for a company that is probably going to feel hostile towards them, but reward them so that they don’t need to work with that company anymore.

Publically funded science (done in the interest of the public rather than profit for universities or publishers) should also be ramped up so that it has the resources to examine these questions, too.

Also, criminal charges for execs that suppress information that prefers profits over safety.

The CTO of the previous company (1000+ employees , multinational) where I worked as an exec right under the CTO had a habit of not being able to keep his hands to himself. He was married but had a taste for men working under him.

Hed beeen around pulling shit for months until i was called in, i met him in person, he immediately started to “just tickle” me, and I reported his ass right away. Internal investigations were had and they fired him.

But not after allowing him as his final act to fire me because I was “not management material”, had nothing to do with me blowing the whistle on him feeling up his employees. The company allowed him to do this because i was now a risk to them.

So the lesson here is to keep your head down, enable abusers, lest you want your career in the shitter

Edit: I fully agree with you, but the way it currently stands it’s impossible to fight back to high level execs

phoenixz ,

Pretty sure all those industries continue doing all that shit today

ArmoredThirteen ,

According to my brother, the real issue is that there is too much regulation and it is stifling the ability of ethical companies to break into industries 🙄

Now, if only they’d start doing this for racial profiling of people who aren’t millionaires, THEN we’d be getting somewhere!

No_Ones_Slick_Like_Gaston ,

Not a fan of MDC cops but racial profiling when someone was caught speeding on a 35mph going to the stadium, a well-known route to him as is where he works, should happen to anyone speeding.

The unnecessary violence and moronery following should be the focus, as the reason of the stop was very clear.

NuXCOM_90Percent ,

Hard to tell but it could just as easily be a rich and entitled strong man trying to bully his way out of a ticket going up against a cop who likes to abuse his power.

I’ve seen cops get shouted down for pulling over a high school quarterback. So a “star wide receiver” for the state NFL team? Especially when it is clearly already being argued that the cops are why the dolphins loss or didn’t win their first game as much?

Remember: The only thing more important than beating on the brown is beating on the poor.

He was accused of punching his girlfriend in college and got kicked off the team at Oklahoma State. In 2019, prosecutors in suburban Kansas City declined to charge Hill after an alleged domestic violence incident involving his fiancee and their 3-year-old child.

I don’t trust cops, and having read that, I don’t trust Tyreek Hill. So I guess we’ll just see how this pans out.

Both sides can definitely be bad. It’s like when Google and MS sue each other. I don’t care who wins, I just want them to hurt each other.

Daniels said in a statement earlier Sunday that she requested an “immediate review” of the details surrounding the incident, adding that the department would review available body camera footage.

Something tells me that footage is about to be lost in some unforseen tech problems…

The word “misunderstand” implies an attempt at understanding.

And if it wasn't a relatively famous Black man, nothing would have happened, and he'd probably have ended up in the pokie.

JimmyBigSausage , in Tyreek Hill is detained by police before Dolphins game. Officer is subsequently placed on leave

There will probably be a release of bodycam footage.

dhork ,

As long as said body cam footage makes the cops look good, otherwise it will be lost due to technical problems.

Talaraine ,

I believe bystanders got some vid too.

Yup. Both are the same video but the IG one is a bit longer and better quality.

Good thing he is rich and well know so they can do something about it instead of ignoring it like the other thousands of times a month this happens.

I remember it was all over the news when it happened, for a couple of days. Not Fox News of course, but real news sources covered it.
