Better idea: 4 nukes, 2 cities

They didnt just remove them either. Farmers and their families were raped, murdered, tortured, mutilated in a number of different ways.

Decommissioned bombs can be sold for a boatload of money, especially the older ones--collectors love them. If it was an older bomb I can almost guarantee you that your local government sold it... then again I know little about VN armament laws, but I'm fairly certain they're pretty deregulated.

I mean, if the bomb was decommissioned then it's just cool to have in a collection?

The crazy thing is, some of these women make millions of dollars--literally millions.

@omar1992 With respect, this was one city in one county in one state. With the average US state being several times larger than an entire EU country, this represents a very small portion of our populace. I'm curious, what country do you live in?

I mean there are still good cops in the department. I get that its angering to see something like this happen but let's not make broad, sweeping generalizations.

It's really confusing why this officer didnt follow any procedure here.

I say this looks like a negligent discharge because, after watching the video, it doesnt look like he fired the shot on purpose. That being stated, that doesnt take away from the other hundred or so things this officer did incorrectly.

I used 'officers' plural as a generic for the response to the call. You are correct that there was only one officer, that's actually part of the problem since how to handle this code and to follow SOP requires at least two. You are correct that it was a welfare call but the code was a possible reported break in reported to the non emergency number by a neighbor. I'm not disagreeing with you, I'm just adding some clarity to some of the details.

It did. The cringy part is that this article isn't really hyperbolic, they legitimately voted it down because, one of several reasons, they were afraid it would drain power from the sun. Another was that they were afraid it would create a new sun on the earth's surface? When you start reading about it in full you just... you just need a drink.

The show released a few notes stating that it might have been a bit or trying to spin the perception in that direction, but most of Jacquines people reported basically with the response like, "Yeah that was awkward, we thought Kimmel was going to do an actual interview."

Most native Texans are armed well enough to overthrow a small country on their own. If this had happened to someone who has thousands of hours of training on their EDC and a multitude of different weapons at their disposal, (so most native Texans), this probably would have gone in a very different direction and that person wouldnt have spent a single day in jail due to stand your ground laws. Officers are supposed to follow protocol and adhere to their training not just to keep civilians alive and safe but themselves as well. This was turned into a dangerous situation for everyone because they did not appear to follow protocol at all.

Even if she was, the officer was unannounced and what him and his partner did was against training and protocol. If there was a break in, protocol is one officer announces at the front/rings doorbell or knocks while announcing 'police' at the front while the 2nd officer covers the back where, most of the time, suspects will run. If they'd followed protocol, announced, made contact with the tenant at the front door and confirm there was no break in, this would have been a very different story. There's a reason they train the crap out of officers on the right and wrong way to make contact and handle certain codes. Everyone knows I'm a big supporter of law enforcement but I call out issues and mistakes when I see them... and this looks like a negligent discharge from watching the video and it doesnt appear they followed protocol at all.

100% on Jimmy when I say this. Phoenix tried to treat it like a real interview and Jimmy tried to treat it like he was doing a stand up routine... just painful to watch.

The actual interview was so cringy to watch though. If you guys havent seen it I would recommend having some hard alcohol first, preferably a double, and then watching it.

I realize the main point of the post is the shotgun, but the night cap guys... come on.
