Oversight - hopefully not by a politician
Internal Affairs - Great theory
Body cams - off button
Leadership - those guys were probably cops for 20 yrs - tainted
Peer Integrity - negated by the brotherhood of a union
Morals - not sure of the direct relationship between law and morals but I’m sensing they are not related

Well, certain parts of the internet. Don't think the youtube comment section would have been able to make the jump from comment 1 to comment 2
On youtube, I bet comment 1 would have sparked a 3 way argument about complete bullshit with all 3 people being wrong

Folks nowadays really forget how important acoustic jam sessions are in revolutions.

That probably didn't kill them though. It was probably the hitting of the ground that did that.

>This "jump to report first" shit is worse than the 24 hour news cycle.
It’s not the News fault that people demand news about events in real time. Every time there’s a major event like this Reddit demands information and updates every 5 minutes. Reddit also demands that news is free with no ads. If people could chill the fuck out and wait a day, we’d probably have better news because they’d have time to sort the facts out.

Y'all are making other readers feel really confident in our aviation mechanics, I'm sure. Air supply? Fuel supply? Who knows? Who cares? Mechanics don't fly, once it gets out of the bay it's someone elses problem.

If there's one thing I know, redditors will blame the wording as "being intentionally misleading" instead of acknowledging that it's their own error in thinking it said something different than it actually said and/or not bothering to read the article.

This is Russia we are talking about. Laws are irrelevant when it's political and or advantageous. Honestly not much different than some of the bullshit going on in the US

Woah🫣
Condolences and empathy to the families who’s loved one is not returning home to them.

Good to know we’re still handing the Russians easy arrests to inevitably trigger yet another prisoner swap down the line.

Taking it a bit out of context one of my favorite short quotes is "Indeed I tremble for my country" as it has been so fitting over the years, unfortunately. It is truly baffling how something that was written to be a living document is treated as uneditable now.

Probably because they don't spend as much time loitering, and the can taxi without being off the ground. From what I hear, V-22 pilots really do respect their craft far more than any other pilot because the vehicles scare the shit of them.
Our local small airport is a frequent stop-over for many military aircraft and last time I watched a group of Blackhawk and Apache take off together they taxied, in the air, on a path usually used by fixed wing, including turns, then ran down the runway at low alt before taking off...again, like fixed wing.
While it was cool, it just seemed kind of unnecessary.
Helos are fucking badass but I have some concerns about how much we use them for mundane training tasks, especially in groups.

Who said anything about ISIS? Why dont you tell that to the 1 million dead civilians killed by americans in the middle east. Why not critisize both russia and america for being genocidal terrorist war mongers?

Ok I googled how revolutions start and wiki how uses a very generous interpretation of that word.

Guilt is a legal term that refers to whether someone has violated a written law. Guilty absolutely does not inherently mean that something wrong has been done. It just means that something was (or in some cases was not) done, and that thing is against the law. The law may be shitty.
Russia has tons of shitty written laws, some of which may be flat out inhumane or strongly against our beliefs.
Going with your heart and doing the right thing will get you sent to prison in a lot of countries.

I know hella people who are aggressively anti-abortion, and the thing is that it's not that they actively want lots of women to die in pain, as such. What they want is for women to know that that might be their fate if they have sex outside of marriage, and to stay virgins/celibate out of terror. For those who still have sex anyway, they want them to experience pregnancy and childbirth as a punishment for having sex, and then immediately hand over the baby to a more worthy adopting family.
The actual agonizing deaths are more desirable as a threat than as a constant reality, because if they are happening a lot, people might start to turn against the draconian anti-abortion laws. If they only happen occasionally, they serve as deterrents much better. It's not about sadism so much as it's about maintaining control over women and forcing them to "experience consequences" for having sex. Women (specifically) having sex "without consequences," they consider the height of moral depravity. Making it so that women will suffer for having sex is a means to an end (stopping them from having sex), not the end in itself.

Do they think everyone getting an abortion is throwing all caution to the wind and are unmarried? A lot of women getting abortions are married or in long term relationships and/or already have a kid.
It's also still weird as hell to think that children are a punishment for having sex.
