The one thing in his favor is that he was already a pocket passing QB and it's his front foot when throwing, so the losses you usually think of when it comes to an achilles injury aren't as significant. But he is 40 years old, so any significant injury at that age is going to be a possible career ender.

How does a strike work in this case? Stop paying rent?

If she was trying to run him over why did she cut the wheel as far as she could to try and get around him?

It's not police policy to kill fleeing suspects, plenty of jurisdictions even choose not to pursue. So the answer to those questions is that yes, they absolutely could have let her drive away, as some other police forces already do without issue.

Aside from that, even if they decided to pursue, it is not police policy anywhere to use deadly force to stop a fleeing subject unless it becomes an acute danger to the public. A fleeing subject who has yet to break 10 MPH does not fall under that description, not here, not anywhere.

And here's a question, if it was such a deadly situation for this officer, how did he not get injured? He was already safely out of the way of the vehicle by the time any of his bullets had an effect. Because he's not a fucking invalid and can side step a car, which he put himself in front of to begin with, pulling out of a parking spot.

Do you feel safer today because this woman is dead? Does anyone?

When there's domestic problems that you haven't even offered a solution for, point outward.

Easy to say when you won't be the one fighting it.

Every time I see it I can't get past how hideous it looks. I just don't get it...who's the target demo for this thing? They've already been beaten to market by non-absurd looking trucks, how big could their market actually be?

The issue of climate change is routinely one of the most important issues for young people, so perhaps she played a role in that.

The question itself is pretty useless because how could we possibly quantify a single activist's contribution to a global issue?

This would cover things like hunting and/or target practice at a home or private property, so not entirely that weird.

Memorization is a skill humans are generally really, really good at. If you put in enough time, there's a good chance you'll be able to regurgitate what you put in, both in words and actions. That's enough to get you through most schooling. When you step outside of memorization is when people like this run into trouble.

If there's one thing to take to heart from Joe Rogan, I think it's this quote of his:

I'm not a doctor, I'm a fucking moron
