So earlier today, someone got shot in the head by police...
...about 200 yards from me. Think that is the first time I have been in the presence of a shooting. Was very exciting!

But it does ask the simple question. When a police officer (or group thereof), tell you to get out of the vehicle, or they will shoot you, do you..
a) Get out of the vehicle, get arrested and remain safe thereafter, maybe except for the inevitable bumrape and years of being someones bitch whilst serving your sentence.
b) get shot in the head.

I can't imagine ever being in that situation
[edit] but I'd do as I was told
(I helped save b3ta! Jadeviper was still alive on, Tue 1 Jul 2008, 22:43, archived)
i agree.
for some unknown reason, I have come to respect people trained in the use of, and holding a firearm! And this is coming from me, and man that grew up in the UK with no experience of firearms at all until I moved over to Seattle 6 months ago. How do these people not learn? Or is this Darwinism in progress?

Yay Seattle
How hard was the emigration process? The UK to Seattle is the exact thing I want to do.

Process was an interesting one...
I'm only here on a three year work visa, and even with work sponsorship and paying for it to be fast tracked it took about 7 months to get through it all. The only bad part (except for the timescales) is the interview at the US Embassy...they give you an interview time, andthen when you arrive, you begin queueing for approx. 4-5 hours in a crowded hall. And then the interview itself lasts for maybe 3 minutes at most. Very annoying!
(I helped save b3ta! Pixieelf got his 1st front pg. when MJ died! Double Whammy!, Tue 1 Jul 2008, 22:51, archived)
OIC. I'd be looking at like permanent emigration. Fuck the UK.
That interview sounds 'fun'.

Cheers :)

I can't get on a skilled migrant visa as I don't have a degree
Canada seems cool though. Bilingual, young and able to support myself, scored well on the 'how suitable are you' site from them.

I wonder if the US has one of them. I've heard they're crying out for male teachers especially at primary level.
So that'd be useful for them I'm sure.

The US has skilled migrant, yeh
I could move permanently if I invested in a business supporting 10 American citizens, but it's about half a million dollars minimum.
Whoops.
(I helped save b3ta! moohalaa, Tue 1 Jul 2008, 22:58, archived)
that's why I'm on a temporary visa now..
the permanent visa is apparently even more of a bitch to get, you have to essentially prove that whatever job you will be looking for cannot already be completed by an American! By doing it this way, I am basically working in the job for a couple of years, then will go home and begin the process for permanent visa knowing that I've suddenly got specialized knowledge.

"35,000 posts on /talk? do you ever leave the house or get laid when it's not cyber?"
I do - every day in fact, when I go to work. And I don't need to resort to the internet to find a partner, unlike some people I could mention.

Please feel free to dismiss this inconvenient statement of facts as "dull" and project your own psychological insecurities onto me as necessary.

Oh, and I might also mention that I don't flirt with fat failures online in a desperate bid to justify my pointless existence to a world that doesn't really care.

West Seattle
Found a place with a great view of Mt. Rainier. I still spend a few evening just staring out the window and occasionally thinking "Wow, that is a huge f*cking mountain!"

Details are still sketchy on that bit.
I know that they had just robbed a bank a few miles away, so the assumption is that they probably had guns themselves, and were probably stupid enough to draw said guns in front of the police.

They aim for the torso, because they're not going to get up from that, and they're less likely to miss.

The shooter is responsible for the bullet until it stops.

It also isn't likely to go through a torso.
