I bow to your superior inability to use mod points correctly, sire.

How is this a troll?

"I own a taxi company and don't want anything to change as I'm raking it in" != "this post is a troll."

The Phillippines don't have an incumbent, protectionist taxi industry and easily-bribable politicians? Shame on them - that's not very democratic/free/American, is it?

For example, you'll notice the [Navy's new railguns have BAE logos on them](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ygHN-vplJZg)

They've got a lot of work to do on miniaturization, compared to the reference design: https://www.youtube.com/watch?...

At least by moving it offshores, the NSA actually has to resort to actions that have a good chance of causing a bit of egg on the government's face if they're caught.

The government's face has zero adhesive attraction to additional egg - they need to wash the face first to remove the existing dried egg.

That might explain why the murder rate is so high in Brazil. "In most cities, the vast majority of violence takes place on just a few street corners, at certain times of the day, and AMONG SPECIFIC PEOPLE."

Every year, Brazil hosts the world donut festival which attracts significant numbers of American pOlice officers. Shootings of black people from behind increase according to the inverse square law - by diminishing distance from the closest donut eatery.

In the U.S., the cities with the largest population of blacks have the most crime and the cities with the lowest number of blacks have the least amount of crime

If there are fewer black people, the pOlice find it harder to track them down and murder them from behind. Duh! Not exactly rocket science.

Bigger screens are overrated. As for the rest, just install Android 5.1,

Yeah, didn't care enough to RTFA, and am familiar enough with the quality of "reporting" on that website to not bother. Thanks for the explanation though.

lol. That's cute.

No, it's quite obvious from your comments that a shred of decency is well beyond your grasp.

That's funny, the police report and all reporting on the case claim that he did. But I'm sure you have access to information that the rest of us don't. Let me guess - the ghost of Bob Marley came to you in a dream, and told you The White Man Executed Tamir, who was sitting there licking a lollipop at the time?

You know, you can't just make shit up and then claim you read it in a police report.

Fair enough - he forgot to mention that a small subset are idiots who went around waving a replica pistol at strangers, and then reached for it when the cops arrived.

I'm not sure that qualifies as a lie so much as a justifiable omission. Such cases do not make up a significant percentage of police shootings, since pretty much everyone with an IQ over 70 knows it's not a good idea to reach for a plastic gun when the police are pointing real ones at you.

After which you'll sue for false arrest and imprisonment, ask for a ridiculous sum for humiliation / pain and suffering, and have a great life afterwards.

Hell, I wish I could find some of these ass-rapey cops that people like you all seem to know - I'd gladly suffer in jail for 48 hours in exchange for a mil or two.

That is one seriously ugly truck. I hope they do something to the styling before it hits the market.
