The reality is Americans aren’t that concerned about drones

Posted on by

“Support for the drone program varies across demographic and political groups about like you’d expect. Across pretty much all polling, Republicans, by about 10pts, are more likely to support drone use in general than Democrats, though majorities of both parties support it. Men are more likely to favor it than women, by anywhere from 7pts to 20pts. Again, however, more women favor the drone program in general than oppose it. Why are Democrats and women more likely to oppose drone usage? It’s not because of the program’s murky legality.  Americans’ number one worry is that the program endangers civilian lives.”

Dutch tourist cannabis cafe ban leads to surge in dealing in the south

Posted on by

“The decision to ban foreigners not resident in the Netherlands from the country’s cannabis cafes has led to an ‘explosion’ in drugs-related crime in the south of the country, the AD reports on Saturday. The government’s decision to turn the cafes into members’ only clubs in the southern provinces last May led to a sharp rise in street dealing, the paper says. It bases its claim on police and city council figures. In Maastricht, at the forefront of efforts to reduce drugs tourism, the number of drugs crimes has doubled over the past year while in Roermond they are up three-fold with at least 60 active street dealers, the AD says.”

Hundreds of inmates released early in Colorado prison sentencing mess

Posted on by

“Colorado Department of Corrections officials are contacting state judges alerting them that an audit of the state’s prison system has revealed errors in the sentencing of more than 8,000 inmates, including hundreds who were released from prison early. According to the Denver Post, judges are currently reviewing the case files in an attempt to determine what individuals need to be returned to jail, and who among the individuals facing imminent release needs to have their sentence extended.  The audit is still in its early stages. Some 8,415 people’s sentences need to be reviewed in all with an estimated 2,500 requiring intensive study and revision.”

Internet giant Amazon hit by first strike in Germany

Posted on by

“German employees of Amazon staged their first-ever walkouts on Tuesday as the US Internet retail giant was hit by a dispute over pay. Employees at two logistics centres in Bad Hersfeld and Leipzig launched a strike with the start of the early shift at 6:00 am (0400 GMT), the giant services sector union Verdi said. In Bad Hersfeld, strikers planned to march to a rally in the city centre at around 11:00 am (0900 GMT), while employees in Leipzig rallied in front of the warehouse. Verdi is demanding that Amazon’s 9,000 employees in Germany be paid according to a sector-wide wage deal for the retail and mail-order industries.”

Fast-food worker wage protests spread to Detroit and St. Louis

Posted on by

“On Friday in Detroit organisers were expecting at least 400 workers from at least 60 stores to come out and protest. The action comes a day after two days of similar protest in St Louis, Missouri, which saw 100 workers walk off their jobs at chains like Wendy’s, Domino’s and Jimmy John’s. It also follows similar actions in Chicago and New York earlier this year in what labour experts call the largest such disputes to ever hit the industry. The demonstrations are aimed at highlighting a demand for a $15-an-hour wage and the right to form a union without fear of employer intimidation.”

Building superintendent mistakes tomato plants for pot, and so did cops he called

Posted on by

“Experts don’t know how the cops could have confused the two.  Cops eventually got hip to the difference and closed the investigation, leaving the tomatoes alone.  The unidentified owner of the tomato stash won’t have to deal with the cops but he will have to deal with his super, who said he’d lock the door to the roof.   ‘No one’s supposed to be there anyway,’ Delarosa said.”

More Botched Police Work Cheered

Posted on by

EPJ13

“John Baiata of NBC News reports with regard to the discovery of the women who were kidnapped in Cleveland and held captive for approximately 10 years.  Cleveland police responded twice to the address where the 3 Ohio women were held – in 2000 and in 2004.  Yet, as in Boston following the discovery of the Boston bomber by a citizen after a botched police search, the crowds cheered the police. From Reuters on the Ohio kidnap case:  ‘Cheers from the crowd erupted periodically as police cars entered the area.’  My guess is that police states always come with cheering fans, until the police come for you.”

Humiliating Viral YouTube Interview To Cost Job Of Argentina’s Economy Minister?

“Argentine Economy Minister Hernan Lorenzino’s appearance on Greek television in which he abruptly ended an interview and refused to speak about inflation in Argentina has spurred speculation he may quit, Clarin newspaper reported, without citing its sources.  President Fernandez met with Lorenzino to express her concern that he lost credibility among voters after he told an aide at the interview that he wanted ‘to go’ after the reporter asked what he planned to do if the IMF sanctioned the country for not improving its inflation index, Clarin said. Deputy Eco. Minister Kicillof would replace Lorenzino, Clarin said, without citing anyone.”

Bulletproof whiteboards installed in Minnesota school district

Posted on by

“A Minnesota school district where two students were killed in a 2003 shooting unveiled a new device Tuesday aimed at adding a last-ditch layer of safety for teachers and students: bulletproof whiteboards.  The Rocori School District has acquired nearly 200 of the whiteboards, made of a material touted by its manufacturer as stronger than that in police-issue bulletproof vests. The 18-by-20-inch whiteboards can be used by teachers for instruction and used as a shield in an emergency.  Police Chief Phil Jones demonstrated the whiteboards Tuesday in a school gym by leveling a karate kick at one, whacking it with a police baton and stabbing it with a knife.”
