That cop should get the same punishment that he tried to foist on the innocent man.

The level of crime we tolerate from "law enforcement" is astonishing. Why do people no longer care about justice?

I greatly appreciate how vaccines help prevent disease, but like any medication, there can be adverse side effects depending on personal biology. Furthermore, they load up these vaccines with a lot of nasty chemicals.

If you look at how a lot of these vaccines trials are structured, they do a lot of sketchy things. Like instead of using saline as the placebo, they use the previously approved version of the vaccine, or inject all the chemicals, but just not the actual virus culture. That way negative side effects are even in both groups. Of course, it doesn't mean that vaccines are safe across the board.

First, thank you for acknowledging that your previous point was moot, and that you do have a double standard. Now I will show why calling the police any time any small assault has occurred is the wrong choice.

If you think that you need to call the cops over somebody grabbing your arm, you are far worse than the guy who grabbed your arm. Instead of turning the other cheek and forgiving, as the guy who scratched you should have done, you do the same thing: revenge. How are you any different? Simply outsourcing your revenge to the cops makes you a better person? No, you are the same - you feel wronged and that you have the right to retaliate, only your retaliation is far more severe.

If somebody is truly posing a threat to life or limb, then calling cops may be appropriate. But in most small cases, calling the police is both foolish and wrong.

An eye for an eye and the whole world goes blind. Especially in families, forgiveness and love and overcoming evil with good are much better choices.

>I'm not surprised that someone who asserts that the police shouldn't enforce the law gets downvoted

Virtually nobody on HN thinks federal marijuana laws, (and i would guess immigration laws) should be enforced. You have a double standard here on "enforcing the law". If you think cops need to be called over a scratch or being grabbed, you have either lost your mind, or you just don't understand what getting the cops involved means. It's like arresting somebody and telling them they can't drive for 30 days and need to go on probation because they sped 5mph above the speed limit, and if they speed again, they won't be able to drive again for the rest of their life. What's more in some states, the penalties stack. So if you scratch 2 people in the course of your entire life, you are now a felon will spend a year behind bars and can't vote. For a scratch. This is beyond absurd. Also if you get one deffered adjudication you can never touch a gun again, not even 20 years later to go hunting. It doesn't matter if your spouse was just telling you they really enjoyed having sex with your boss - if you even cause a scratch you are a criminal, will be thrown out of your own house. If your spouse divorces you, you will lose custody because you are a "batterer".

Domestic violence issues are mainly propaganda and fear-mongering. They use it for political purposes, just like they use terrorism. When cops get involved, like I said before, it often leads to murders because the real batters are unstable people and calling the police just makes them angry and likely to murder.

Watching flat earth videos on YouTube is hilarious. Some of my favorites:

- they show Hillary Clinton talking about "the highest and hardest glass ceiling" in a speech. They use that as evidence that Hillary is secretly acknowledging the earth is flat and covered by a dome.

-a guy watches at a flight tracker of a flight from Africa to South America. Of course this flight would be much longer if the earth was flat. Well in the video he's watching and the flight disappears from the map not long after it starts crossing the ocean. The guy then says it's proof that the government is fiddling with flight info to hide the flat earth facts. Then I read the comments and one guy notes that you have to pay the flight tracker to track flights over the ocean... so funny

Maybe try to get a job in management so your dealing with people not just machines.

Interestingly the DMCA prohibits creating software to bypass DRM. It is completely unconstitutional, violating freedom of the press. That part of the law should be struck down.

The newer react-navigation is actually a decent router. Before that the routing options were pretty bad

I think by "you're" he was referring to a general person working for government hacking agencies, not me.

Dang, please help me understand. I was responding to the thread in the comments. How would have been a better way to express my thoughts in a HN appropriate way?

I love regexes. In addition to doing cool things and saving time, I feel like I'm a "real programmer" whenever I write a good one.
