I get amused thinking about what the actual result of all these body cameras coming about (and they are) will be and how it will largely be the exact opposite of what most of the people clamoring for them are expecting.

It's not going to decrease the amount of racism in the general public, it's going to increase it...drastically.

It's not going to decrease respect for LEOs, it's going to increase it.

I have repeatedly heard that the Israelis are the absolute worst when it comes to backpackers/hostelers.

half as much of

Sun. You need very, very little (for Vitamin D production) and almost any excess after that is bad.

Reddit has this delusion that police preference for military service and cops going overboard are somehow connected and it's caused by PTSD, great example of correlation doesn't equal causation.

The guys who have seen combat are the ones who tend to be cool as shit, even under extreme duress (e.g. a gunfight, they've already been there and done that several times), they're used to people trying to kill them and they have learned how to deal with it. It's the fucking newbies in their early to mid 20s fresh out of the academy who aren't acclimated to violence hardly at all that are the problem, they're the ones who tend to be super nervous, on-edge, and consequently overaggressive (because they've seen lots of training videos of cops getting killed, e.g. the Dinkheller video, and it has just scared the absolute shit out of them such that they're on a hair trigger when they're in that uniform). They have no idea what a real, honest-to-god, fight for your life feels like, so they're just absolutely terrified of the prospect.

A combat vet is less likely to overreact, not more.

Ehhh from what I understand a judge recently ruled on this, actually, and said that merely having an image (of CP in this case) on your computer only because your browser stored it there as part of the cache didn't count as "possession" under the law. I think the logic was that you didn't intentionally download it - the browser did it automatically without asking - so the mens rea wasn't there.

I'll welcome anyone who can expand on or correct this, I'm just putting out there what I recall about this issue.
