North Korea probably shouldn't have claimed ownership of the hill until AFTER they've confirmed that their missiles have successfully launched. The missiles went straight into the air and came directly back down. They surrender and the hill remains unclaimed because it no longer sparks US interests. Hill currently unclaimed.

This hill once again sparks the interest of the United States. Troops are sent to secure the hill. Reason: "US interests." The US occupies this hill for now.

Most definitely a true beauty, one of a kind. Glad to see the transition to the Ford Explorer over that old-man CVPI.

Lol, this isn't surprising at all. As c13 has said, no one is physically missing. The database is just fucked up, as per usual with the Army.

But here's the catch to all of this: You and I have no idea what would have transpired. Who's to say he wouldn't have charged at the officers? It seems unlikely but we don't know this man, and neither did the officers. He was holding a metal pipe. He was already a threat, whether he was deaf or not. Being deaf does not exclude you from the law. Anyone with half a brain should know that waving around a metal pipe at officers pointing weapons at you is the wrong answer, deaf or not. If I were him, I would have stayed exactly where I was (and probably got tackled or tasered). From a personal perspective, I could care less about the welfare of a criminal. In my book, if the criminal is the only one that's hurt, it's a win. The victim is fine, the officer is fine, the public is fine, I see that as a good outcome. That may not necessarily be the case from a legal standpoint or even the officer's standpoint, but as a citizen, I see it as a win. As I've said numerous times, most Americans evidently agree with me on that considering the rising approval ratings of police everywhere in the country. It's an evidential assumption to make. When someone presents an argument and they get no rebuttal, the implication is that the individual had nothing to defend with. A lot of times it just turns into ad hominem, and that's when the fun truly begins.

Please elaborate to the class on what exactly a taser failure is. The purpose of the taser, to my understanding, is to demobilize the suspect and make them easier to detain. If the taser fails—wouldn't a taser failure imply that it's too late for any other alternative at that point? If the taser failed and officers are now required to resort to lethality, wouldn't it already be too late? An officer is already either hurt or killed at that point because the inefficiency of the taser resulted in a lethal solution. By that time–someone's already hurt. Lol funny how everyone always scatters when numbers are pulled. I wish bug spray worked as well as facts did.

I'll answer that for them. They'll say that it's what the officer signed up for because he/she knew the risks when they joined.

I understand what you're saying, but according to Gallup, they don't really vary at all. Most whites and non-whites support the Police, and statistically speaking, poor neighborhoods are more likely to be majority non-white. Doesn't matter what their political party is, political belief, age, demographic, or region of the country. A majority of every group that fall within these categories support the police, though some majorities are notably larger than others. So like I said, America supports its police. As as far as the topic of discussion goes, I'm not saying that the police are always right. Because they aren't. I'm just saying that in this particular case, there were too many uncertainties and variables. It's a shame that a man lost his life, but tough world. In a country where people would put nails into doughnuts and bring them into a police station, can never be too careful.

Well, if you're down with reacting out of anger and you're support of law enforcement has ceased, you have that right. Just know that American support for police is continuing to rise regardless, and you're in the very minority that somehow don't support the men and women that keep you safe at night. I'll provide the links and statistics if you like, just let me know. In defense of law enforcement, officers have no way of knowing if you have any sort of mental disability or even physical disability. What are the chances that officers are dealing with someone that's pretending to be mentally challenged? Has it happened before in this country? Does it still happen? How would officers know that someone is deaf or mute? They probably deal with plenty of individuals that pretend not to be able to hear or comprehend. Picking up the pipe was a terrible decision regardless, because now officers see that as a potential weapon. Sorry man, but if I'm an officer I'm going home to my family, mentally disabled or not. I'll still continue to wear my Blue Lives Matter bracelet and thank every officer I see. Because America supports its police. People don't think that police officers are above the law. If they did, police wouldn't have some of the highest approval ratings of all time in this country.

This. Seems as though everyone forgets this right here. When shots are fired by an officer, it's game over. There are no more chances. You're done for, and you probably deserve it. Rest in pieces.

No one is to blame but American citizens for allowing this to happen.

Of course. It's just one big meme.

Looks can be deceiving. He may be grammatically inept, but he clearly knows how to handle his money, even with some hiccups in his career. That's the way the world works. He can handle money, therefore he's successful. We're sitting here arguing on the internet while he's tucked away in the White House worth billions. There's nothing that anyone can say, he's won. As an uninformed, unintelligent, childish trash-talker, he's won. It doesn't matter what we call him. He's set for life.

What a shame that Trump is only a billionaire instead of however much more he'd have. I'm sure he's devastated. Just because they're rich doesn't mean that they won't do anything to gain skills and intelligence. Wealth actually puts them ahead of everyone else, and they're more likely to be educated and more likely to have skills, because they have the money to go out and get the education and skills. They don't have to struggle like most of us do to learn and get an education. They'll attend the schools in the better school districts. They'll get into top-notch colleges debt-free. They don't have to worry about common expenses that the rest of us are responsible for. Everything that the rest of us have to work to obtain, they'll have anyways on TOP of the wealth that they already have. So yes, wealth is a win. Maybe wealth doesn't buy happiness for you, but I can certainly say that the more money I have, the happier I am. I've personally discovered that less money actually makes my life more miserable. I know billions would immediately agree with me on that too. Especially those that have suffered financially like I have.

He has no control over what wealth he's born into. His father earned his money and gave a significant amount to Trump to give him a head start. Trump turned it into billions of dollars. Most people wouldnt turn millions into billions. They'd simply go out and spend it, like lottery winners do every week. He's a smart investor, and he inherited what his family earned. That is an achievement in my book because he's rich. If you're rich you've won. That's the way the world works, unfortunately.

My point is you can call them what you want, but they're still sitting atop wealth. Kind of renders any insults towards them pointless in my opinion. Doesn't matter how stupid they are, they're still rich.

Well, he's a billionaire and the president so he's definitely doing something right.

Yes, we really need to be focused on North Korea. I don't think Americans really understand that a war with North Korea is entirely possible. Especially with their involvement in Syrias use of chemical weapons. They will always be in unrest man.
