Comment Serious overreach (Score 1) 1056

First of all, calling every critique you don't like mansplaining is sexist and ridiculous.
Secondly, you don't harass your clients. Period. You ignore them or you respond politely to them, but you don't attack them.
Third, lots of us receive unsolicited advice. I get told how to write software by my clients every day. None of them knows a lick of programming. I'm a man though, so I don't get to call it mansplaining. I just tell them they hired me to do the work so they should trust my judgement.
Do I think she should've been fired? Probably not for a first offence. Do I think its because she's a woman? No.

Comment Similar thing happened in Ottawa (Score 1) 214

TL;DR, they got the cell phone numbers of people near the scene at the time and texted them asking if they had information on the crime.

I imagine it wouldn't be hard to have cell phone providers offer this service to police *without* disclosing the numbers.

"We want to text everyone who was in proximity of X,Y on YYYY:MM:DD at HH:MM this message: 'foobar' ... here's our warrant, thanks."
