If the mother had said that she thought her son was traveling across state lines to do a drug deal, would the police have done more?

You're confused buddy. I'm not blaming them for not stopping this crime. I'm pointing out that the police do not even try to prevent crimes from happening. They operate on catch and capture. Preventing crime is literally not in their job description or more importantly within the things they have a legal duty to do.

I'm sure the mom did miss things. Still she picked up on it in time to stop the crime from happening and made the appropriate phone calls. The police just didn't care because it's not their problem.

>The article is just strange, the writer seems mad that her child committed a crime, which she doesn’t detail, and is in jail for it and blames the police for not preventing it.

Written by a mother who doesn't want to take something away from her son's crime victim and her family.

The point is she warned police again and again that something was not right and they ignored her. And now the lives of what, 6 or 7 people are irreversibly damaged.

Going to get awfully bound up that's for sure.

Yes exactly. Maybe now the thing that needs to not last because of staffing is you.

Maybe we should take the money we're spending on all the cops referenced in this author's story who did fuck all, and give it to the social workers referenced in your post.

I bet they'd stick around if any social workers were cashing those six figure cop checks right?

The increase in call volume is mental health crisis and medical, and crime is down over all, now, as you well know.

I'm not saying we should ask police to do more with less as you seem to think. I'm saying they should do less with less.

Crazy that's almost 9/10s.

Okay, I suppose to see your point. If it has to get physical, sure, Defendo (actual name of Canadian police standard (defensive) martial art) or whatever transfer-your-opponent's-motion sort of style, would probably be better than the current American police martial artform: neck grabs body slams and closed handed blows to our faces and heads-o.

But why not just start partnering police with social workers such as they're doing with great results in Willimantic, in conjunction with the Criminology college at ECSU? Don't need to send cops to school.

I don't know, policing will probably only get more violent and more lawless.

Read the article?

>We’d be better off funneling that training time and budget for cops to fund defensive tactics and martial arts training like BJJ

Wtf are you talking about?

Would benefit all residents and 40% of police families.

Vaguely remember reading about this dude.

Oh shit.

Well sure, when it's coming right toward you. The earth is round. Can look like going straight up.

No, it's a legit company. But they provide a useless service. They make money by tricking people into thinking they need the service. They send official looking letters asking you to pay money.

What they are doing is scouring the UCC filings in Connecticut, which stands for Uniform Commercial Code, which includes all laws relative transactions such as equipment leases and related secured interests.

The solar lease company had to file UCC paperwork to affect a lien on your house for the duration of the lease. That's there to make sure they get their equipment back and get paid for the entire lease duration, such as if you sell the house or stop paying, they can foreclose the lien. This company is offering for $90 to summarize the paperwork that has already been filed with the state.

As a business owner, I get these letters all the time. Sometimes they basically want to provide me with a copy of paperwork that I filed myself.

Based on date and time and orientation, that is American Air fl 1843 from Charlotte to Boston.

Jfc.

Five kids?

Same concerns some have raised all along.

Dolly Genny too.

Nah sometimes it become an Amazon.

>I responded to this comment “what size is your daughter”

I remember seeing your comment, maybe before it was downvoted, and knew exactly what you were about to offer. Didn't read it as creepy at all.

I'm not sure who owns who, here. That's your bailiwick.

In general, when a SPAC can't meet its financing obligations, it will dissolve automatically, and its assets get sold off and distributed to investors and creditors, in the usual course. The officers and directors of the SPAC then get sued by shareholders of the SPAC.

Creditors of a target company usually want a SPAC to go through, and this they have incentive to reach terms with the SPAC, that are contingent on the SPAC completing, at which time the SPAC closes it's deals with the target companies, and they are merged or acquired into the final, public or private corporation, or combination thereof.

If the SPAC fails, the deals don't close, and the target companies continue operating as they normally would.

Here, the SPAC is upside down. Federal law is pretty nuanced and I don't know hardly anything about these particular companies, so I can't say whether the SPAC will terminate now, or if it might be allowed to try and raise more money, or even restructure its own debts.

If it does fail, Theraplant will just continue running without merging. That could be a problem if its potential sale to the SPAC was the thing keeping it afloat. The SPAC could be lending money to distressed target companies to keep them operating before the SPAC closes.

In the case of a grow house here in CT that's ready to open, I can't imagine a scenario where it doesn't open due to a lack of money. If the SPAC fails, and if Theraplant was out of money, it would just find another buyer, instead of the SPAC.

>If you don't pay your debt the lenders (or funders in your parlance) seize the company. They are given that right in the original loan agreement, and without that protection they wouldn't have lent the money in the first place. They aren't "stealing" anything.

Very astute observation.

>But as to your original point I don't know what this means, other than proving once again that the more convoluted you make a law and the more regulation you try to introduce, the more unintended consequences can result.

But then off the deep end.

Fuck off Billionaire's Think Tank.

No? Some downvotes? People that like lapping up billionaire propaganda? You can fuck off too.

Anyone know what time peak?
