This disturbs me. I cannot say without having been there, but it sounds like the officers involved were a bit incompetent in regard to their physical apprehension capabilities. What matters is that the boy is okay, but one must question at what level of skill these officers are performing their job...

I was watching about 4 different televisions and monitoring 3 websites. MSNBC was the one who least jumped the gun.

EMINEM: Arts & Politics
So, I first heard Lin mention in her LJ, but then my sister brought it up as well. EMINEM has made a video for his latest song "Mosh." It has an interesting message. Regardless of political stance, I thought it was a pretty damned cool video. Just thought I would share it. (NOTE: The above...

This movie looks absolutely phenomenal. I've seen the previews for it twice now and what an original concept to finally hit the screen. So often lately, the films have began to blend with one another, with only have few sticking out from the rest. This one will do that. I really hope it's good, beca...

3% of the entirety of Native Americans will see the profit and revenue from the casinos enter into their hands. It is not seniority based or anything, though. It is the members of the local tribe of the casino's location. You'll see 16 year old Native Americans driving Hummers and Porsche's in those...

That first link doesn't work. There's no way I could vote yes on 2. Regardless of my feelings towards homosexuals (though my position just furthers my yes on two), this would be creating the first section in the entire Constitution that actually denies something to a certain group of individuals.

The casinos on reservations are the tribes right. I think sometimes people forget that this is their land. They were here first.

Daki was right. The process of a life imprisonment sentence is cheaper than the price of an executory sentence due to the legal aspects of it. A death sentence comes with an authomatic, mandated appeal every single time, and there is damn near always far more than that. I am a staunch Anti-Death Pen...
