And this:
there is also video from the officerās body camera. The superintendent also asked the public to withhold judgement until the Citizenās Office of Police Accountability can complete its investigation.
They could just release the unaltered bodycam footage and let us judge based on that. That would give a āfirst personā account of what the officer encountered. Is there any legitimate reason, in a scenario like this, not to do that? All of āthe publicā is supposed to āwithhold judgementā while a biased investigative body has access to all the evidence (which is literally paid for by all of us).
(I get that in some cases footage might include people unaware theyāre being recorded, I mean in this particular situation.)

ā¢ Swim only when lifeguards are on duty.
ā¢ Follow lifeguardsā instructions.
ā¢ Only Coast Guard approved personal flotation devices (PFDs) are permitted. Person-children wearing PFDs should have adult present.
ā¢ No smoking.
ā¢ No alcohol.
ā¢ No dogs on the beach.
ā¢ Do not feed birds or wildlife.
ā¢ Dispose of trash and recycling in appropriate containers.
ā¢ Grill in designated areas only and dispose of coals in red barrels.
ā¢ Keep accessible beach walks clear. No bicycling, skateboarding or rollerblading is permitted in these areas.
Soā¦sheās obviously not a swimmer, and it appears the ābeachā beach is the only place that has business hours, because thereās no lifeguard on duty at night or in the winter. The only thing I can see that might get a ticket is walking the dog in an area that might not be dog permissible.

The dude drove into the path of a hurricane from Ohio? He drilled holes in tanks of toxic liquids in 2017? This guy really has problems making good decisions.
Meanwhile, Iām glad Shaquille is alright. I mean, he was making good decisions in de-escalating the situation as much as possible, but itās still good to hear.

I like the idea. Anyone whose estate was in possession of slaves can come forward and then, just as soon as they have squared off the outstanding balance for how much labor and life they stole, will be fully entitled to ask for compensation for the property they lost. Think anyone would go for it?

just a language suggestion: āanyone whose estate enslaved people.ā
unlike tables and chairs, no one can passively possess another human being. it requires the constant application of force. enslavement better conveys the active harm that was perpetrated daily for well over three hundred years. iāve grown to believe the difference in language is really important when grappling with what slavery is and was.

If I didnāt know better, Iād swear that Larry Elder is trying to stop Newsomās recall and purposely sabotaging his own campaign.

Recall is unlikely, given CAās history.

Iām certainly not stopping him from paying them.
Let us know when you do, Larry.
