Screw the broken quoting; there's only so far I willing to go to try to fix it.

@HardwareGeek said:Anyway, I think that comment was referring to
The words ‘due date’ essentially lost all meaning.
rather than
get stuff pushed back.
Although that does produce an interesting mental image.
I tried to make a joke about "due date" (and its different meaning in a birth-giving context) and "get stuff pushed back" (and its amusing/disturbing possible mental image in a birth-giving context).
It looks like my little play on words ended up stillborn.

@Buddy got that, and I got the image, but I wasn't sure you going there intentionally.

- Police receive complaint about mentally ill homeless man camping at an ice skating rink
- Police officer checks and sees that he's ok
- Police officer knows from the training that all police officers from ■■■■■■■■■ receive not to intimidate a mentally ill person
- Second police officer arrives without being requested
- Second police officer pats mentally ill homeless man down
- There is an argument
- Second police officer begins to beat mentally ill homeless man with baton
- Mentally ill homeless man grabs baton and begins to beat second police officer

- Police chief: "Oh, that guy? I fired him last week. I'm sure he'll try to appeal it and I'm sure I'll vote against him."

police officers from ■■■■■■■■■
Belgium police officers should know that because of the commotion that followed when a mentally ill died while being handled incorrectly some years back.
Strange thing: in Belgium both the 8 immediate responsible police officers of the BBT (SWAT like guys), the responsible officers in charge (as responsible for sending in the tactical guys) and the mental institution psychiatrist and director who refused the patient earlier that evening when he was first arrested are all standing trail.
Only Belgium thing is that after 4 years we're not even having a exact start date for the trial yet.

Strange thing: in ■■■■■■■ both the [one group of individuals], [a second group of ondividuals] and [a third group of individuals] are all standing trail.
There are two hard things about computer science: Naming things, fixing ConcurErrorsrency, and finding off by one errors
-
It all depends on how you group:
- Police vs. Health Care workers
- Employees (police officers & Psychiatrist) vs. Management (Police Commissioner & Director of a mental institution)
Conclusion: It was actually an off-by-two error

Second police officer fires 14 bullets into mentally ill homeless man
Once you've made the decision to shoot someone, you want to keep shooting them until they stop moving. There are obviously several places the cop went wrong, but taken on it's own, shooting 14 rounds isn't necessarily a WTF.
-
I don't own a gun and I've never fired one that fires actual metal bullets so I'm not experienced here let alone trained with firearms, but firing fourteen rounds into a person seems either a bit excessive or like he was shit at it?
-
People don't fly back and immediately die from bullets fired from the sort of firearm a police officer typically carries. And that's not counting the bullets that miss, which happens a lot when shooting in a situation that's almost entirely unlike a shooting range.
-
Like I said, it's not something I have any experience in and most Police officers don't carry guns here so I don't know what type of firearm they carry anyway, that's just how it seemed.
-
Yeah, you shoot until the person is no longer a threat. It's much quicker to shoot another round or thirteen than it is to assess that.
-

Exactly. Again, this may not apply to this situation, but remember the Tueller drill. A guy with a knife from 21 feet away can probably run over to you and stab you before you can shoot him if your gun is holstered. Even if it's not, you're not likely going to want to shoot him twice and then pause to see if he's going to stop: no, you're going to keep shooting until he falls over.
It's not hard to find video of people who've been shot several times and kept moving a little while longer. Last year I saw one of a guy who was pulled over for a traffic stop on a regular street, and he charged the cop with a gun. It's hard to tell from the video but he was probably shot 6-10 times before he stopped running at the cop.

Sort of related, but this reminded me of analyzing a missile system and thinking about whether you wanted to Shoot-Shoot-Look or Shoot-Look-Shoot.

“quattuordecuple”. The word doesn't come up very often, at least in my daily usage.

We play CAH with our adult children. Tonight for the first time we gave our 3 yo cards and had her put cards in.
Most of us were rooting for her.

The moral of the story is that friends of trans people lack a sense of humor?
You are less a forum admin, and more like a clairvoyant.

The 3 yo didn't win any.
I played a blank white card with "Chuck Norris" and won.
