That’s not wrong.

Though at the level Thomas is playing at, he has the power to be much more influential if he wants to be.

I mean I think the technical legal answer is that the shoplifter (really, they called in SWAT to catch a shoplifter?) is the party liable for the damage to the property, since it was damaged in the crime of resisting arrest and evading police, and thus the shoplifter is responsible for whatever damage resulted from the “necessary” actions the police took to effect the arrest.

But yeah, the police should be responsible here.

Also, isn’t this the plot of Demolition Man?

Sue the shoplifters parents for allowing him to fall into a life of crime. Its really their fault anyway.

You must spread some Reputation around before giving it to Lachesis VII again.

I had the pleasure of seeing most of the original band (Sans Elfman, sadly) a few weeks ago.

Oingo Boingo without Elfman is... well it’s something, but I’m not sure it’s Oingo Boingo.

It didn’t try to be. It’s still decent

[Nordstern]

That’s a clever choice of words. We generally call “armed shoplifting” “robbery.” This suggests dude was a shoplifter who happened to have a gun on him, and then shot at the cops (stupid motherfucker) during the pursuit.

The suspect in the case, who was wanted in connection with shoplifting, was taken into custody after a 19-hour standoff. More than 100 officers from agencies around the Denver area responded to the incident.

Authorities say the suspect stole two belts and a shirt from a Walmart. After he left the store, police say, he broke into Lech's house for protection and was firing at officers with a handgun. Eventually, SWAT officers entered the home and apprehended him.

[Lachesis VII]

Right, that’s my point.

[Dorvil Barranis]

Well, they certainly couldn't have let him keep two belts and a shirt. Better to blow stuff up about it.

[Lachesis VII]

They don’t call it “broken windows” policing for nothing.

Party to honor Chicago shooting victim ends with 13 wounded: police

(Reuters) - Thirteen people were wounded in a shooting at a party on Chicago’s south side intended to honor the victim of an earlier shooting, police said.

Police took two people into custody for questioning on Sunday, and one of them was charged with unlawful use of a weapon by a felon.

Marciano White, 37, was arrested near the scene of the shooting with a firearm, police spokesman Anthony Spicuzza said on Sunday evening. He has not been charged in connection with the shooting itself.

Chicago has struggled for years with violent crime, logging more murders annually than the combined figures from New York and Los Angeles, two much larger cities.

The victims ranged in age from 16 to 48, and 12 were in hospital on Sunday, hours after police responded at the scene at around 12:30 a.m. CT (0630 GMT), according to a police statement.

Four of the victims, including a 16-year-old male, were critically wounded after suffering gunshot wounds to the chest or lower back.

The other person in custody, a 25-year-old male, was also a victim in the shooting, police said.

Did he just...blue on blue?

[Totally Not Larkonnis]

Certainly wasn't white on white...

Also can I get a quick run down on what's going on in Virginia?

Democratic governor and democratic majority in the state house means stricter gun control laws. Gun nuts talking about armed insurrection in case of mass confiscation of guns.
At least that's what I learned from some weird reddit posts.

Chances of that happening are probably 0.

There's also some nonsense tied to Washington State Rep. Matt Shea (R)...

[LobbyZ]

The bogaloo people wants and tries to get Virginia to overthrow their government due to gun laws. Same with Idaho. They consider gun laws to be at the top of any issue and you're not free if you cant have all the guns

They expect to combat troops and expect to have cops on their side.

They want a battle and they want to kill liberals.

What is amazing is that he was actually removed from the republican caucus, according to Wikipedia. So there is something the republicans won’t tolerate!

That says more about them and their failed, worthless, utterly morally, intellectually and ethically bankrupt political “principles” and the kind of anti-country, and anti-social psychopaths it attracts than anything else. The sooner LEO are automated, and we can stop relying on sociopaths to do societies dirty work, the better.
