Apparently, the average citizen pays about a half million in taxes in a lifetime. So this means 15 people spent their entire life being honest taxpayers, so these cops could be a piece of shit.
Glad the family got paid at least. Wild that in 2020 these cops didn’t have cams yet; not exactly a rural area.
Relevant quote from article…
“The Israeli military is currently using Rafael’s Spike missiles to target people inside buildings in the Gaza Strip right now. The same weapons that Canada is buying are being advertised as ‘battle tested’ against Palestinians.”
“For Canada to be choosing to purchase these weapons from Rafael is a direct endorsement and a direct financial support to the Israeli military’s devastation and carnage in Gaza,” Small added.
What if a kid had an incurable spreadable disease? Throw them in the hot summer car?
Haven’t seen it mentioned yet, so I’ll add that you can narrow down your search a little with a site qualifier. So you can search “diy table instructions site:reddit.com” to specifically limit results to reddit only (or any site). I’ve personally also found a lot of use by using the same method within a subreddit, “diy table instructions site:reddit.com/r/woodworking”
There’s a lot of good tips at this link. Although it’s an old page, so I dunno if they all work still, ymmv. https://www.ou.edu/webhelp/general/tutorials/google/
I agree with some other posters that hopefully lemmy can grow to fill the boots that reddit is stumbling out of. Although with so many different instances, with different url’s, it seems less straight forward.
I’m a previous boy scout (~2006-12) and camp staff (~2010-2019). It’s hard to see a lot of these stories and accusations come out against bsa. While I was a youth and staff member, there was a lot of guarding from any possibility of sexual abuse. Many hours of meetings and training for both youth and adult members of the bsa. Everything erred on the side of caution. Even between staff members there’s a lot of separation between over/under 18.
Granted these experiences all took place in a fairly liberal area. But I like to think that in the last 20+ years, the bsa has become a much safer organization. Inclusive too, girls are now allowed and welcome. (Do note girls and boys are a part of separate groups (there are co-ed branches of bsa though, Venture Scouts)).
I also think it’s important to know how involved the Morman church used to be with bsa. There’s recently been a pretty large separation between the two organizations, but that wasn’t always the case. And without speculating too hard, churches don’t have a great history with sexual abuse.
All of this is to say that I believe all the past survivors, and they do deserve justice. But it’s hard to see their lawsuits coming after what I believe is a fundamentally different organization (different policies, different leaders, different ties). I think there’s a lot of good that bsa can help instill with today’s youth. I’m not sure what a good solution is.
This is an interesting point I haven’t seen before. I think I agree, but only after suicide for medical patients is legal. And also, what about people not in a life sentence (whether a shorter sentence or someone not incarcerated)? Should they have any legal outlet?
Is there a difference between wanting to kill yourself and not wanting to live through a life sentence?
