Requiring that "credible" information only be spoon fed to you by MSNBC is the sign of a moron and Face Painting Homer.

I wonder what Bliz is smoking when it comes to WC and WC2 - I'd certainly pay $10 for a Windows copy, and it's not like they'd need to port it themselves, just license to GOG - free money!
You have to actually wade into the issue and form a discrete opinion of it.
By far the coolest part of all this is now a "crowd" will form an opinion about Clinton and Benghazi from reading her emails. Primary sources FTW. Not want any journalist wants them to think, not a quote picked carefully for a political ad, but by actually reading what was said at the time. That's more informed democracy already than I expected in this whole election cycle!
"What the heck?" asked Bill.
"Used to date him years ago," replied the Missus.
"Hmm... " he chuckled, "so if you married him, you be the wife of the owner of a service station."
"No," she replied quickly, "if I married him, he'd be the President of the United States."
Think of a 150 kph collision with two vehicles travelling at 75 kph colliding head-on.
How many once proud and reputable representatives of the news media have gone this route, simply because it's what drives the ratings that fill the advertising coffers?
By and large, the general public will lay out money for the Enquirer and People an order of magnitude more frequently than for a Time, Newsweek, or US News.
I whole heartedly agree. I was in trouble w/ the law a little bit for "traffic" offenses. Every cop knew my car. Finally, after an overnighter, I was convinced I couldn't stay. I left it all. Moved away from town with few possessions.
Leaving my life behind, starting over, made a HUGE difference. Now, I'm quite the happy, productive member of society.
Nice stab at Olympia
IIRC, he used planes and such to get a smooth finish. At one point he had a guest who he introduced as a hacker (an older guy with a beard). He made 4 legs for some table or chair project Roy was working on in about 30 seconds, 4 chops each with a hatchet, perfectly square, tapered appropriately, and of course blade smooth. Impressive as anything.
So you think this guy is going to go through six years of video eh?
We all know why he's doing it; just because he can and it's going cost everyone money.
The old meaning is "computer criminal," the new meaning was invented when a bunch of kids decided that being a hacker sounded cool,
The old meaning of hacker is "one who makes furniture with a hatchet". It's a fantastically impressive skill. "Hacker" meant "computing enthusiast" for a couple decades before it meant "computer criminal", as the latter was often the former and the distinction blurred.
So...a fishing expedition.
Part of the problem is this:
Q. How long are the videos kept?
A: Current policy is to indefinitely keep video recordings dealing with crimes. The Seattle Police Department is working with Department of Justice monitor Merrick Bobb to finalize policies for the body-worn cameras.
Are they deleting videos that DON'T deal with crimes after a set period? And why in God's name are they kept indefinitely? Anything the DA doesn't elect to prosecute should be deleted fairly quickly. Anything that hints at police misconduct or a criminal charge against an office is kept for the duration of the State Statute of Limitations.
I wouldn't call being specific about what you want a "limitation".
Requesting it all is a stupid stunt.
You would probably get a faster response when you provide dates, badges, etc.
Just a sweeping request of everything is a stupid stunt and of no benefit at all. Unless you really believe he is going to view all six years worth of data from hundreds of officers.
And it should be the law: If you use the word `paradigm' without knowing what the dictionary says it means, you go to jail. No exceptions. -- David Jones
