Has Excel ever been fun? Really? Anyone? Knock, knock, knock is this thing on? Originally shared by Jake stuck

Yes, according to this study, there is a racial disparity in regards to how police officers treat black versus white people. Just not in shootings. Of course, there's nothing in this article about armed or unarmed suspects and police reactions to race. http://mobile.nytimes.com/2016/07/12/upshot/surprising-new-evidence-shows-bias-in-police-use-of-force-but-not-in-shootings.html?referer=https://www.google.com/

Wow. That sounds like some Scientology style activity, there. http://www.theverge.com/2016/7/10/12127638/uber-ergo-investigation-lawsuit-fraud-travis-kalanick

Looks like telecom companies within the European Union are trying to hold the collective hostage: give us our way or we'll stifle innovation. What do you think, should the EU hold to an open net, or does the promise of better speeds and bandwidth circumvent net neutrality? http://www.theverge.com/2016/7/10/12139700/telecom-companies-5g-service-european-union-net-neutrality

#PokemonGO has all these added side effects. First, you get to find dead bodies. Second, you get robbed. Not in the same place, mind you. On a side note: I have a cousin who lives in OFallon. http://gizmodo.com/armed-robbers-used-pokemon-go-to-find-9-victims-1783416898

We want to believe science works. We watch police procedurals like CSI: and Law and Order expecting science to meet out objective justice, separate from the biases that come from police officers or DAs. And yet science can be wrong. It can be fouled, confused, altered or forgotten. Science is only as good as the system it fits within and the people within that system who have the knowledge and training to fully idealize it's purpose. Field tests provide quick answers. But if those answers and confessions cannot be trusted, Charles McClelland, the former Houston police chief, says, officers should not be using them. During an interview in March, McClelland said that if he had known of the false positives Houston’s officers were generating, he would have ordered a halt to all field testing departmentwide. Police officers are not chemists, McClelland said. “Officers shouldn’t collect and test their own evidence, period. I don’t care whether that’s cocaine, blood, hair.” https://www....

I'm fairly certain Michael Flynn is batshit crazy. http://nypost.com/2016/07/09/the-military-fired-me-for-calling-our-enemies-radical-jihadis/
