I've always wondered why Yankee Cops do this, empty gun after gun full of bullets into a criminal suspect.

Then I remember what an ex SAS/Armed Defender squad member once told me.

When faced with shooting a suspect, he and other members of the team had a clear understanding, that they would each try and get multiple bullets into the suspect.

Because, if only one bullet were found to be the cause of death, rightly or wrongly, the person who fired the bullet could end up, tied up in court for years whilst people took legal actions against the police for wrongful death and such.

This could hamper or end a career for the police officer.

So I guess there is some reason in this behaviour.

But then we down here in Middle Earth, don't see incidents where 33 Police Officers Fire 600 Bullets into a Car. This sort of behaviour seems to imply the officers were, panicking like girls, thinking they were in a video game, or otherwise out of control.

Apparently so. I hope none of this interferes with my planned tourist trip to North Korea.

Could you get me a souvenir? Perhaps a hat off one of those sexy marching girls?

For those who may not have heard:

Hi guys,

 

I will come to Siam end of November 2014. That means 5 – 6 weeks to go.

 

My plan is to overwinter in Thailand: End of November, December, January to end of February.

 

But I am a special case now. Well, this time I am not the sanuk and fun-seeking boy.

I come as a melancholy observer of the scene, which himself can no longer actively take part in the sanuk, in the fun.

I had an apoplectic stroke with devastating consequences in December 2012.

The right half of my body is severely paralyzed.

I cannot move my right leg freely; I limp.

I cannot move my right arm. The fingers of my right hand are completely paralyzed.

 

! The stroke has made me older by many years !

I cannot work any longer. I am retired now. My new trademark is my crutch.

 

But I don't want to bother you.

Did you previously post here? Are you from a Nordic country?

At least Kim has groupies

Note the trackball mouse on the desk and the (UHF?) aerial upper right. Aerial?

It's worth noting that the combined computing power of all the computer consoles shown is equivalent to an iPhone 3Gs

I enjoy north Korea threads, here's one I may have posted before.

Best bike I ever had. Honda 750 Super Magna 86 or 87. One of those machines that they just got right.

Not saying it's better than any other, but I'd prefer this over any other.

You would think that in Georgia they would know what okra looks like

Easy, money+Somchai=gun

You have to me careful, with these kind of discussions, in NZ you only have to feel that you are Maori to be Maori.

A little late but....

Shanghai 2010 - Good movie, very accurate feel (what would I know ) of WWII Shanghai. Worth a watch.

Whilst I am in favour of all-male places like this golf club becoming open to all, can anyone tell me why some Gyms are able to be women only?

An unexpected side-effect of all this is that In Dunedin in NZ, they are muttering over their porridge about secession.

Enemy 2013 - Interesting movie, outcome not obvious, a little arty but worth a watch

When I've see british antique shows and the like, I see 10 pound notes issued by the bank of Scotland. what's the story?
