CAUTION! The video ih highly disturbing, do not watch if you get upset easily.

AAAAH LOOK OUT A BLACK MAN! D:

fracking idiots.

It was a white guy in that video, haha! :x

I do love the fact they immediately just shoot him multiple times, then AFTER he's dying on the ground they shout, "Get on the ground!"

Face it, if they didn't want to get shanked they had every chance to avoid it. It was their decision and their fault to walk into that situation. Nobody should be punished for acting in the natural order of things.

Isn't this the "Serious" forum?

Then explain how anyone could function as a normal human being in society if all they're allowed to do is get fracked up with extremely addicted drugs that'll destroy their entire lives and prevent them from every having another job again? When money runs out, what is society supposed to do with all these washed up druggies who probably already destroyed whatever relationships they had with their families?

That would imply everyone would go out and just do coke and meth because it's legal, which they wouldn't.  Most people know the effects and stick to alcohol and marijuana.

Not to mention alcohol is extremely dangerous and we know prohibition of alcohol didn't work. Why does one believe it works with other substances? I've said it already and I'll say it again, Vancouver, Canada should be the model.

Nuka, plenty of things are dangerous. Should we make fast food illegal? Here's a quote that may teach you something...

"You don't make something illegal for an adult because it may be harmful for a child, otherwise, we'd all be living and acting like children."

You can't make a law regulating human behavior. It comes down to self-control.

So, shanking should be fully legal then? I don't want to limit my human behaviors.

No one has the right to infringe upon the safety of others, and you're right, laws still do nothing to deter such actions, they are their to hold the person responsible accountable. Big difference between attempting to murder someone and freeingly using a substance in your own body.

Cops hit parked car and blame the other guy, arrest him - http://nypost.com/2014/02/21/cops-hit-my-car-then-arrested-me-to-cover-it-up-suit/

Don't care. It shouldn't be legal, especially since it's dangerous.
That's why people aren't allowed to own rocket launchers.

Spoiler

before you even try to argue that people should be allowed to own rocket launchers, kindly shut the f­uck up

Prohibition is far more dangerous for everyone. You should be able to own rocket-launchers for recreation, and they CAN. That should blow your mind.

"a cop actually does his job"

Cops are not EMTs. Plus cops do their jobs all the time

On the contrary, a cop has to perform CPR in an attempt to save a life, even if the victim is bleeding from the mouth or they can be sued. I had no such obligation as a private security guard. Also, their jobs are not to abuse people as they often do.

I feel for the kid.  The city won't pay for his medical cause it would imply they were wrong.

It's truly disgusting. I think the cops should have to pay out of pocket, lose their jobs and spend life in prison along with the people that authorized the raid and the people that created these phony laws. It's a shame when a police officer gets a vacation for murder and a massive settlement is reached it is taxpayers that foot the bill.

Yeah no, that's a bullshit argument.
Educate people yes, but make it available to the public? Absolutely not.

Except it is true. Compare cannabis consumption between the Netherlands and the United States. No one has the authority to prevent people from using drugs. Infringing upon the freedoms of others is far more dangerous than drugs can ever be. Look at the cartel and gangs created, and the massive waste of police, cour and prison resources. Vancouver, Canada legalized ALL drugs and it has benefited tremendously from doing do. In the facility you go to use NO ONE has overdosed due to medical staff on standby, people rarely use drugs in the streets, whereas it used to be everywhere, and they have a rehab center upstairs which is only optional.

And yet they don't, as dictated by the law. I'm not arguing if that's right or wrong, I'm just saying that's how it is.

They do. Natural rights trump any unjust law. That's how it is. The fact that tyrants exist doesn't prove otherwise.

Legality of drugs hardly changes the amount of people that do them. In fact, legal drugs may deter people from doing hard drugs in the first place as it removes the stigma, allows for more real education on them instead of propaganda kids dismiss and gives them the choice of safer drugs like cannabis. Education is key, prohibition doesn't work and is only a massive waste. Look at Vancouver, Canada. That's exactly how we should do things.

Do you really want someone who's on crack driving? Or serving you food?
If drugs make it so that you can't function like a normal human being in society, they shouldn't be allowed. You can get drunk from booze or high from weed and be fine the next day, but not with other more extreme drugs. Other people would have to take care of your sorry out of control ass, and no one wants that.

No one is asking for reckless driving to be legal in any way. As long as you can do your job I don't care what is in your body. Do you really think infringing upon them or kidnapping and caging them is superior? Also, prohibition only makes drugs more potent and available to children.

all drugs need to be legal

Heeeeellllll no.

You want weed? Okay.
Cocaine or heroin? You need serious help. That shit should never be legal.

My only drug of choice is cannabis occasionally, I don't even use caffeine. Every drug should be legal as prohibition only makes things a lot worse. People who want to exercise freedom and use hard drugs should have the option to do so in a safe facility where they know the drugs they are actually getting instead of risking death from some blackmarket dealer which hemorrhages money.

Not really unless you enjoy writing equivalent to that of fan fiction. The story was pretty generic and giving MC a "destiny" was pretty cringey as was the "romance" between Cortana and Chief, yeah it was just terrible.

Halo 2
Halo 3
Halo CE
Halo 4

It's not destiny and it's not just Chief, the Librarian is a lifeshaper and imprinted humanity with gifts to help them to eventually obtain the mantle. And there's always been a strong connection between Chief and Cortana.
