Right now, all we have is his statements that he was treated roughly by the police. The police handle quite literally millions of interactions with the public every year. Ascribing some sort of persistent malice to them as a group is as ba

I don't think he was actually raped. Sounds more like he resisted a body-search upon intake processing for jail.

There has to be something else going on when a person is confronted by the police and they decide to arrest you. I can only imagine that he was agitated somehow and may have been either mentally unstable or intoxicated. Suicide is not a nor

Naive to think that the NJ teachers union would tolerate giving up even an inch of power to promote a public good? Where is the article lambasting the educators over the tremendous loss to the children of NJ because of a fight to control m

I don't see how this is a problem. He's following the law and organizing his affairs to retain control of the money he earned. You aren't less of a citizen because you try to not pay more tax than you owe. The exemptions fo

Spoofing of GPS signals isn't generally the problem the US military is most concerned about. It's availability. The assumption is that in any significant event, US space assets will be unavailable either momentarily or for some e

I'll make you a deal: let's stop using tax policy to try and create certain social outcomes. That way, you can get rid of all of the loopholes that everyone hates.

Generally speaking, I think an equal amount is a fairer structure than an equal proportion. I understand the arguments for progressive taxation and I'm not advocating against them, but when you look at taxation in the western world (pa

And there is much debate about what "fair" means. If by "fair" you mean we all pay a roughly equal amount, then I'm cool with that. If by "fair" you mean that people who are more productive contribute a gr

On my boat, we still did firing solutions for torpedoes using a slide ruler. The military is quick to embrace new technology but slow to completely rely on it to the exclusion of other methods. The great fear is that technology will let yo

You bet they do. Commissioned officers are responsible for the boat and the crew. That doesn't mean that they do all the work, but they are responsible for making sure it's done correctly and getting it done correctly if the crew

And therein lies the rub: NOBODY on the gun-control side of things care much about the VAST majority of gun deaths; namely, gang-violence or drug-related shootings. By far, these are the largest component of murders by gun and yet the thin

There is a lot of anecdotal evidence that some non-profit hospitals misuse their tax-advantaged status to benefit a very select group of individuals at the top of the management hierarchy. Again, if the states managed their money better, th
