    This. Why do they reel her out for stuff like this, Jack simulatanously claiming she has Ł19 in the bank and has to buy smart price sausages (please donate) whilst appearing on television semi regularly. The day the blue tick middle class do gooders realise the emperor is nude will be a most excellent one.

    The perpetrator, seen wearing a wig and lipstick, urged people to "think of the Earth" while being led from the scene.
    Neither the time nor the place for that.

    Any trend that leads to more people experiencing Coventry is terrible for obvious reasons. The fact that the trend in question is a visit to a Subpar Chip Shop is honestly verging on a humanitarian crisis.

    It's going to become some kind of art gallery now, I'd have said it should be knocked down as it's a monstrous eyesore but they've put up so many more since it almost looks modest and reserved in comparison.

    Knew about the murder before the news broke as my cousin's daughter was friends with him but I didn't know if anyone was arrested for it. Last night I decided to check out the news report and I realised I knew the name of the accused.

    Did some digging and I do indeed "know" the chap. When I did a college course to get back into uni about 10 years ago his Mum was also on the same course and I still have her on Facebook (seems she deactivated her account a couple of days ago...) and I even went to the pub she owns as part of a College Christmas quiz and met the murderer as a child.

    The few times I ventured onto Facebook a month my feed would be filled with posts about her kid and his mental health problems.

    Obviously I'm sure this Prophet Muhammad thing which India and the 'Arab World' appear to be embroiled in is deeply serious business, but let's not let that overshadow some of the lol comments it has served to create.

    "Allowing such Islamophobic remarks to continue without punishment, constitutes a grave danger to the protection of human rights and may lead to further prejudice and marginalisation, which will create a cycle of violence and hate," Qatar's ministry of foreign affairs said.

    Don't make more victims.

    There should be rescue equipment alongside bodies of water (like you see here,), unequipped rozzers leaping in to save someone who they warned not to go in just ends up with multiple people needing to be rescued. They were absolutely right not to go after him.

    "Lots of very smart (and even more not-so-smart) people have tried, over the years, to answer the question of what cops are for—whether they exist to keep us safe, to fight crime, to protect property, to enforce racial hierarchies, etc. I pose a simpler question: What do cops do?

    Having spent many years observing cop behavior, reading news about cops, and occasionally even asking them for help, I have come to a pretty simple but comprehensive answer: They do what is easy, and avoid what is difficult. Seen through that rubric, much cop behavior suddenly becomes much more explicable.


    Of all the improbable things about accused subway shooter Frank James’s last hours of freedom, the weirdest is how easy it is to imagine James still on the run, today, if he’d decided to do almost anything differently. Learning that he phoned in a tip on himself from a McDonald’s, and then that he eventually got tired of waiting there and left, was a sort of sublime punchline to the entire comic manhunt, in which New York City’s enormous and well-funded police department failed at basically every moment to stop or capture a dangerous criminal who literally told them where he was."

    Not really, but it's apples and oranges trying to compare their police to the rest of the world. I read a stat not long ago that only the U.S. and Chinese militaries have more funding than the U.S. police.

    There are a few maniacs and race baiters here who go for it, but only insofar as their politics are entirely determined by American fashions rather than because they have given it any thought.

    The main problem in the UK is the Police have already been defunded to the point that they don't investigate crimes unless they are really serious. The U-turn on police staffing by the government may address this to a degree in the long run but comparing UK police funding and US police funding is like comparing Morris dancing and Mardi Gras.

    I live in a town with a population of 25,000 people, the local police station was closed until recently. The US equivalent would be open with a SWAT team, Tank, all the bells and whistles. The problem is when your SWAT team stand around flicking each others dicks when they know an active shooter is loose in a school, I suppose.

    Mr Boule sounds a bit of a case reading the opening bits of that opinion or whatever it is.

    I'm guessing there's nuance to it anyway. 'Constitutional protections' is a bit of a red flag, I would imagine there are other forms of protection/remedies available outwith a need to resort to a constitutional claim. Sounds all a bit separation of powersy which the yanks are big on.

    Second, Congress has provided alternative remedies for aggrieved parties in Boule’s position that independently foreclose a
    Bivens action here. By regulation, Border Patrol must investigate
    “[a]lleged violations” and accept grievances from “[a]ny persons.” 8
    CFR §§287.10(a)–(b). Boule claims that this regulatory grievance procedure was inadequate, but this Court has never held that a Bivens
    alternative must afford rights such as judicial review of an adverse
    determination. Bivens “is concerned solely with deterring the unconstitutional acts of individual officers.” Correctional Services Corp. v.
    Malesko, 534 U. S. 61, 71. And, regardless, the question whether a
    given remedy is adequate is a legislative determination. As in Hernández, this Court has no warrant to doubt that the consideration of
    Boule’s grievance secured adequate deterrence and afforded Boule an
    alternative remedy. See 589 U. S., at ___. Pp. 12–13.
