    Texas Trooper karate kicks rider off his motorcycle

    I wouldn't say a chase should never be had. For instance, given the previous infractions of this rider, a chase was justified here. That I can understand. Shooting at the rider is the issue I have with this situation. It was undue risk, and wholly unjustified. Call for backup, corral the...

    Texas Trooper karate kicks rider off his motorcycle

    That's quite a slippery, sloping justification. Following that argument, the officer could have simply refrained from chasing the rider. After all, the rider only ran because he was being chased. That would have obviated the need to use the gun, and the rider would no longer be of risk to the...

    Texas Trooper karate kicks rider off his motorcycle

    Do you also believe that privacy isn't all that important because you do nothing wrong and therefore have nothing to hide? It's not a question of whether or not you deserve to be shot, but whether or not the authority deserves the right to shoot.

    Texas Trooper karate kicks rider off his motorcycle

    No, I do not believe it depends. A speeding bullet will always be more dangerous to the public than a speeding motorcycle. If there is no public to endanger (thus validating the use of the gun), why in the world was the rider such a risk that he warranted being shot at in the first place...

    Texas Trooper karate kicks rider off his motorcycle

    Which totally justifies firing rounds from his handgun while in a moving car, which he also happens to be driving. Definitely less risk to the public there.

    Helmet doesn't feel right

    Well, you don't. Not without having tried on the same model/size you are ordering. There are a variety of shops in the GTA and with different brands and models, you just need to make the trip to check out what they have. Also, if you do some research online, you can walk in with prices in...

    Full M road test question and help and tips :)

    I would recommend bringing a pair of earplugs, if you don't normally wear them. Silencing the wind noise in one ear will help you to better hear the instruction coming in on the headset, in the other ear. In my case, the stupid little earbud wouldn't sit well in my ear, and they had to tape it...

    CBC Sex-Ed Curriculum Debate

    You cannot observe inconsistencies without first having a measure to compare with. Young minds are only developing that baseline, and to start skewed could be a great disadvantage. An inconsistent authority figure will also cause young minds to question authority - which actually may not be a...

    MotoGP 2015

    I am having the same issue, can't find these worth a damn. The latest on-board race I can find is Valencia 2014. Nothing from this year, other than on-board race starts. I'm not a very big fan of the new layout, it's all form over function.

    squeaking noise when clutch is disengaged

    Having taken apart the clutch on my 250R, I can tell you that it is a relatively painless job. You will want to pick up a new gasket for the cover, as the one in place will tear very easily when removing the cover. Just be gentle with the little bolts, they are soft and tender, as is the...

    Car Lane Splitting in Brazil

    What do these clowns expect? If you are going to impart vigilante justice, expect to get your ***** run over when you block a car on roadway in the process. Youths.

    MotoGP 2015

    Come on, get off the Kool-Aid. While all of this is true, it doesn't change the fact that, as has been stated, "Suzuki is killing Aprilia". Having the handicap doesn't make them any better. That being said, Aprilia deserve a commendation for putting in the investment to come out as strong as...

    CBC Sex-Ed Curriculum Debate

    Hit the nail on the head. Ultimately, the curriculum, whatever it is, is going to be butchered by unqualified and unwilling teachers. There will be those teachers who are vehemently against this curriculum, and will take every opportunity to teach to their own, personal standard. Best...

    Ontario drivers have overpaid up to $4 billion in auto insurance, new study finds

    Re: This is news? This drives me crazy. Do they attempt to explain the number of increased claims? Because it doesn't take a freakin' genius to realize that more drivers means more cars, and more cars means more incidents. Naturally, that means an increase in claims. If the increase keeps...

    The youth of today....

    "Combat sports". See what you did there? You called it a sport. That makes it okay. How about we kill for sport? Killing is wrong? Yes, very much so. But beating someone to a pulp isn't? At what point in our future are we going to deem it acceptable to take willing convicts on death row...

    The youth of today....

    That's exactly it. Many people will reference many studies which will say that kids playing violent video games are NOT more likely to be violent offenders, but that misses the whole point. As an example, I can honestly say that I have only played a GTA game once, for about 5 minutes, before...

    The youth of today....

    It is sick. But to blame the youth for thinking this way is to blame the symptoms for the sickness. Youths don't spring out of the ground with these thoughts in their head. They are spoon-fed the ideas that this behaviour is acceptable, through multiple sources - all run by adults. Violence...

    What's happening quebec?

    Investing in the system which you are trying to protest is most certainly not the way to go about overthrowing it. I believe that's called a trap.

    MotoGP 2015

    I can see Stoner taking a beating if he came in for just these two races. None of the other guys are going to stand for him showing up to steal valuable points from them, least of all Marquez. He also hasn't ridden either track, which will just put one more hurdle in front of him. Two...

    Lane splitting

    Ha! Spend ten minutes watching traffic at Bathurst and Lakeshore. I've seen cars slow down, stop, then decide they want to race the firetruck from a standing start, across the intersection. On MANY occasions. In a different world, I would like to see firetrucks equipped with giant plows so...
