For those wondering about the actual numbers, the UK police killed 3 people in 2015, 1 in 2014, 0 in 2013 and then 1 a year in 2012-2010.
For police shootings, yes. More have died in police custody though.
True, but even then that number sits at around 25 deaths a year, while the US records a few thousand police custody deaths on a yearly basis, I believe.

Not that I think these issues are anywhere near the most important ones (objectively speaking) or that they deserve priority, but these are some that I've taken particular interest in.
- Bodily autonomy and specifically how routine infant circumcision of any gender should be severely limited and considered genital mutilation
- Gun legislation (the pros and cons of gun control and how to increase its effectiveness)
- Privacy, data protection and cybercrime (as part of IT Law as a whole)
- Universal and affordable health care and education
- The contributions inter- and supranational organizations (can) make to progress and human rights (praise be the EU and CoE)

Also, to address the picture that Kupo linked earlier, IP addresses are no longer metadata but are generally considered personal data in most of Europe. The ECJ and WP29 have confirmed this on numerous occasions. Bringing them up in a discussion about meta is pretty irrelevant.

You can add it to my post
Added. Thanks.

Well, Kupo's not wrong. Metadata can be very revealing. However, the processing of personal data is a bit more of a pressing matter and can cover sets of metadata too. You need a strong legal framework with sufficient safeguards to ensure privacy, which is currently lacking in a lot of countries.
Can mods see blacklisted posts?
Yeah, indirectly. They still show the red message, but we can reveal what they said.
Could you possibly reinstate the OP or at least post it again?
Sure he's banned, but this was generating some decent discussion until half the posts in here went invisible and anyone late to the party has no idea what's going on.
OP is this. If Challenger's fine with it, we can add it to his first post (as it's the first one aside from Kupo's original thread). Doesn't seem like I can reveal it to non-staff. just stopping by to fact check this
It's trivially easy to connect the dots.
A paper by two Stanford students gives a more elaborate explanation of what's happening here, but with phone calls instead (similarly applicable). An excerpt:
The dataset that we analyzed in this report spanned hundreds of users over several months. Phone records held by the NSA and telecoms span millions of Americans over multiple years. Reasonable minds can disagree about the policy and legal constraints that should be imposed on those databases. The science, however, is clear: phone metadata is highly sensitive.
Removing a name or account number is a meaningless act. The ability to ID an "anonymous" entity also extends (and is not limited) to credit cards, hospitalization data, Netflix history, and taxi rides.
I might follow this up with an Apple vs. FBI post if I feel like it, and explain how metadata and the like plays into that. Don't be fooled: encryption is not leaving intelligence agencies "in the dark"--this is the golden age of surveillance.

The argument honestly boils down, once again, to whether you think firearm ownership is an unalienable, fundamental and natural human right. If you reach the conclusion that it clearly isn't, this is absolutely not racist at all.

He is a pretty incoherent speaker and is not good at making his point. Stopped watching a few minutes in because of that. Is he saying that gun control is racist because the typical safeguards and measures imposed by gun regulations pose disproportionately large obstacles for minorities who often can't or won't put in the time, effort and money it takes to legally and safely obtain a gun?

I don't actually play the TCG but I still collect cards from time to time. I am particularly fond of this one I got in my 2nd booster.
Noice. I collected them as a kid and I have a first edition Shining Mewtwo that's worth over $100 (more if it were in a case, but whatever).
Also, I am online to trade away some Shiny lvl 100 Magikarps. Make me an offer.

I have around 200 level 1 dratinis I hatched earlier in a failed attempt of getting a shiny one, if that suits you.

Nice. I still need a Meloetta too.

Well I'll be online for a few more hours if anyone wants to trade more stuff.

Which damage output? Melee damage generally falls into two categories: strength and dexterity. Dexterity typically benefits faster and lighter weapons more (katana, scimitar, dagger, rapier, spear...) while strength yields better results with heavier and slower weapons (hammer, axe, club, mace, greatsword...). Even though you can level both of them up as much as you'd like and no points in either of them will be wasted regardless of your choice, this is something I'd recommend you settle on in the first parts of the game. Do you want to rely more on bigger and slower weapons that deal a lot of damage per hit but are kind of clunky and unwieldy, or do you prefer faster and more nimble weapons that you handle quicker and agile but with less damage each strike?
Going for strength.
That's a good choice for a tank, as it'll allow you to carry massive and heavy greatshields. Don't forget to level up your endurance if you're going for a tank build. The higher your endurance, the more weight you can carry without sacrificing movement speed and agility. So if you're planning on going full heavy armor, be prepared to sink some points in endurance just so that you're not limited to a walking speed.
Would I be correct in assuming that endurance gives more stamina so I can get more attacks in as well?
Yep. Endurance affects equipment load and stamina. More stamina = more attacks, rolls, sprinting and blocking.

Horum omnium fortissimi sunt Belgae, propterea quod a cultu atque humanitate provinciae longissime absunt, minimeque ad eos mercatores saepe commeant atque ea quae ad effeminandos animos pertinent important, proximique sunt Germanis, qui trans Rhenum incolunt, quibuscum continenter bellum gerunt.

Daily reminder that king Leopold III was taken as a pow.
Well, he decided to stay with his troops till the end but was ultimately somewhat of a moron.

Saying some shit in a different language doesn't mean "only intelligent people will understand this". That's fucking stupid.

japan is still a thing, so no
Then again, one could easily argue that the amount of violence inflicted on Japan just wasn't high enough. Two is such a small amount of bombs, if you catch my drift.

I used to have a shiny Aggron too. Don't know where it is though. If I find it you can have that.
Thanks a ton man.  I'm trying to build a shiny collection together with my girlfriend, so if you ever have more you want someone to take out of your hands, let me know. I appreciate it.
You're welcome.
If no one else claims them then you're free to take the rest.
These are just the ones I have left that weren't already given away or stolen by a younger sibling.
That'd be great. I'll be on for a little longer, but someone else might want one too.
Well I'm gonna take off soon. By the time I get back from work tomorrow that should've given everyone else a chance to see the post.
Alright, that's cool.
