Guy drives up in a pickup truck the shoots people with a rifle, in Tennessee. Scenario sounds more like a white guy would be involved.

There's also Bayes Theorem to take into account here. Even if the probability that a black will be a shooter is higher, there are far more white people, so most likely, any randomly selected shooter is white, which is born out by looking at statistics:

No the correct procedure with black guys is choking them, then shooting them. Or was it shooting them, then choking them? I can never remember properly.

Pretty sure it's a matter of engagement range. If the perp crimes at close range, go for the choke first to disorient them, then open fire. If they're outside of grabbing range before they start criming, shoot twice as much to make up for the opportunity cost.

Tase as desired, for flavor.

I'm.... Not sure who or what you're responding to. My dumbcrack was aimed at Hans' post about the dude who had an incredibly shitty day condensed into a half-hour timespan.

Also a guy gotten written up, then fired, then tased and arrested in about a thirty minute span here. It escalated quickly.

You can't just say something like that and not expect us to ask for details.

He was getting written up for smoking too often and being late. He took issue with the right up and refuse to sign it. Then he got mouthy with the manager of the front end and said he didn't have to fucking listen to her and she couldn't talk to him that fuckin way. So she fired him and he left then came right back. He talked some more shit after he came back and then the cop arrived to escort him out of the store. He got mouthy with the cop on the way out then he tried to get past the cop and come back into the store. So the cop pushed him towards his vehicle and told him to go. So he told the cop to fuck off. The cop naturally took issue with this and drew his taser and told him he was under arrest. The guy got down on his knees and the cop put his taser up and grabbed his arm to push him down to the ground fully. As he twisted him down the guy started fighting back and kicked the cop in the leg a couple times then drew back to give him a real good kick. So the cop backed up and drew his taser again and called his backup. Before backup could arrive the guy started to get up so the cop tased him. Once backup got there they both kind of dog piled him, cuffed him and took him away. So you know just accept a write-up next time.

Speech to text is unwieldy btw.

I'm sorry, i had thought your comment was in response to the waffle house shooting mentioned a few posts earlier.

The excesses of bureaucracy and digitalization.
Doctors and nurses complain about the excessive standardization of administrative forms.

When a 70 year old comes into hospital with a fracture, they have to enter on a form that " 'no', the patient is not a victim of child abuse", because otherwise the administration's software cannot authorize releasing the patient back home.
And that's just one example of a phletora of useless questions that they need to fill out for all patients, wasting valuable time that could be spent caring for patients instead, frustrating them to no end.

But how can you be sure that the 70 year old's 95 year old mother isn't an abuser?

When a random person you may or may not know IRL messages you on Instagram saying something along the lines of: Less doodles, more pictures of you.

I just, I'm lost here tbh, how does one even react to this?

Just make it victim of caretaker abuse and your good.

Somebody killed four people no more than 12 minutes away from my work, while completely naked aside from a jacket, and then ran off into the night. He is still not found.

Wut? Who is the main suspect? Larry Niven?
Some white supremacist I think. Ironic I guess that he got ran off by an unarmed black guy.

You... you’ve put a lot of thought into this. Is there something you’d like to tell us?
