In every company I have worked so far, for the very large majority of decisions I've seen everyone try to act very ethically and morally. However, every once in a while, a temptati…

I've found the new AI customer support bots that a lot of websites started using are usually more knowledgeable and honest about whatever product they represent than human agents a…

It dissolves a lot easier in warmer water, like around 45 degrees.

Passion tax.

I watched the video and I saw Renee attempt to hit the ICE agent with her car. After doing that, lethal force is unfortunately on the table. The officer doesn’t have time after tha…

Yeah, at some point every rule will run into its exception and you will have to think on your feet about which of your bad options you should take. Cops do need to be severely puni…

I never said the U-turn was the only acceptable reason that they could be there, I only mentioned it because it was the most innocent possible reason for Renee to be there that I c…

Specifically in the officer POV video (2nd link in my original post), with how the car was positioned, and that Renee’s partner was walking around outside and was not in the car, a…

You describe a very unfortunate situation, and it’s the reason why impersonating an officer is such a serious crime. In the case at hand, however, there is no mistaken identity. I …

That’s interesting, because I’m actually also frightened. But the thing that scares me is how quick everyone wants to jump to conclusions as long as it supports their existing worl…

Sorry, had a sentence mangled due to some editing, should have read “due to Renee’s positioning of the car, and her wife’s interaction with the officers”. As for my biases: I don’t…

I think this situation is very tragic, and I wish it had not happened. The reason I am taking this stance, is because I think that, unless they are fine with becoming a martyr, peo…

I hope you are not claiming perception of intent is enough to claim a life. It is the actual intent that counts. No, I am not claiming that. I explained previously why it looked to…

Not sure if there anything definitive. I got the impression that Renee and her wife were positioning their car specifically to impede ICE, going off of what I saw from the interact…

Once the officer sees that Renee attempted to hit him with her car, he (tragically indeed) has the right to use lethal force. When somebody tries to kill you, I don’t think it’s re…

This seems like an intentional misunderstanding to me, but I’ll clarify anyway: What I said was that she was looking directly at the officer while having her wheels pointed in his …

I would agree with this more if Renee was just a random person that ICE decided to give a hard time. But in this case, it was her decision to become involved and attempt to obstruc…

Alright, at the very least, can we admit that there is an argument to be made here? The innocence or guilt of the officer does seem to hinge on some fine details, I’m just surprise…

I have only looked at this incident closely. If in other incidents ICE agents ran down civilians, yes, of course they should be taken to trial.

Yeah, that would be good. ICE should be prosecuted for all their murder attempts. I just don’t think it’s beyond a doubt that this one in particular was a murder.

the front wheel never pointed at the PO. My whole point is that this isn’t true. Look at the first video I linked, in the first couple of seconds, the cop is in front of the bumper…

I don’t think this is as clear cut as anyone on either side is claiming. Looking [1], it does appear that Renee attempted to run the car right into the ICE officer, the wheels were…

But didn't people also think unmodified RNA cannot be transcribed back into DNA until this article showed it was possible just four years ago? Also we are relying on mRNA vaccines …
