Multiple shots to the chest didn't bring him down (he is running with his head down), eventually one of those bullet is going to crack a skull. I am convinced you have never shot a gun before Star. And I'm convinced that you believe deadly force is something that should be used whenever someone shows aggression. I'm also convinced that nothing I say will change your view of that. I've already admitted that it's possible he was justified in using deadly force in this case, as Self Medicated just pointed out again . You're the only one in this argument who is taking a strong stance based on evidence that is at best contradictory. You're wrong that I've never shot a gun, but you're right that I've never shot a gun at an enraged and (allegedly) charging suspect. I still don't believe that this cop was in mortal danger after having shot the guy 5 times in the front. Was the kill shot in the top of the head because he was bull-rushing the cop, or was it because he was already falling after having been shot multiple times? You have no idea and neither do I...

Right, that's pretty much my point. I think it's ridiculous that he chose to shoot for the head for multiple reasons. Also, Have you tried doing that to someone running at you? No. Of course not. Have you...

Sounds like the ending of Gran Torino. Wasn't it the bad guys shooting in that movie? ;-) I have no problem with an officer using a gun in a situation like this. I have a problem with an officer "firing shots toward Brown's head, killing him" when it was probably unnecessary. Since when do officers shoot for the head anyway...

Dude was a local cop. They don't get nearly the training. Okay, maybe I shouldn't have said "highly", but he for sure would have known a few easy take-downs and pressure points. Certainly would have known how to handle himself well enough against an unarmed teenager who'd just been shot in the leg, for example (this is very likely what would have happened in Canada, by the way). He had time to fire six times. The final bullet went through the kid's forehead. Like... damn. As I said before, maybe it was justified, I don't know the details, but it certainly doesn't sound like a situation that most officers would truly consider "life threatening". Tl;dr: Don't rob a store. tl;dr: Don't kill people unless you need to...

Or you could teach your white kids to not rob a store, punch a police officer in the face, run away, and then get mad when they get blasted. All he had to do was follow the rules, and listen to the officer. If he did nothing wrong, nothing would of happened. Let me punch you in the face multiple times, and then you can decide if it worth killing me in order to save your life. Police officers are highly trained in hand-to-hand combat. An unarmed cop against an unarmed teenager will put the cop at minimal risk. None of us know the true details of the incident, so don't pretend that shooting someone six times in the chest is justified just because he hit you. Maybe it was justified and maybe it wasn't - I suspect that's why he got off, because they couldn't prove anything - but to say that it's justified every time a cop kills a bad guy is just wrong...

A coincidence. I just bought Dominion last night to play with the siblings. I bought the core pack, so where should I go from there? I've only ever played Alchemy and Prosperity. Prosperity is fun, lots of high value cards and lots of money to go with it. Alchemy is broken and bad. There are a couple good cards in there, but any time we've played with more than 2 Alchemy cards, the game sucked. I would not recommend it...

Even though it does support more, I don't like playing with more. The bases are designed with a certain breakpoint. I've played 5 player a few times and didn't really care for it since I felt like I had far less impact on the game overall (since often I would play a guy and the base would score before it even came back to my turn). I loved this game so much I actually made a set of 8 custom factions for it. This was back when they only had the Over 9000 expansion, so a few of my factions have since been used (Werewolves and Vampires being the obvious two)...

I'm interested in buying a few more multiplayer games. My girl's coworkers have a family dinner every Sunday that we go to. We drink and usually play Cards Against Humanity, but there's only so many times we can do that before it gets stale. One of them plays Magic, but the rest have no desire to learn. I suggested Werewolf, which is played much like mafia here on the forum. Ideal game time is 45 minutes to an hour. We typically have 4-6 people. Carcassonne is a shorter one, easy and lots of fun. Get the Inns and Cathedrals expansion too. Let's you play with 6 (base game is 5) and feels like it should have been included in the original set anyway. Smash Up is also a favourite of mine, but can only really be played with up to 4. Citadels is a game for 2-8 players that's 45-60 minutes too. Draft new characters each round, use their special powers to assassinate, steal or get bonuses, then buy building cards to complete a city. I highly recommend this one since it's short, involves a bit of deception and gets people really into the game...

Smallworld is fun. Pretty simple, but even so I find it's often hard to know if you've made the right choice until after you've made it. Even with attacks you have to sometimes guess at what your opponent is going to choose since that will impact whether or not you target their active or in decline races. I've found that knowing your opponents helps your defense considerably as well since a nicely shaped region, away from where your opponents want to go, is a better defense than any number of guys stacked up. My only problem with the game is that going last sucks both at the beginning and the end (last choice of race/class and then on the final turn everyone attacks you because you're the only person left to hurt) without any way to balance that. It's fun though, so who cares...

I've played the app version, never the the real thing. It's ok, but far too tactical. It's very hard to form a strategy beforehand and then build a deck towards that. Too dependent on what cards show up in the middle row. Yeah, and specifically when they show up. There's nothing worse than having bad turns when there's a card you want and finally you get a good turn, but nothing to buy. It's like compounding the luck factor. My other major criticism of the game is that you get points for doing everything you want to be doing anyway. Generally the person with the strongest deck is also going to be the person with the most victory points. Dominion forces you to dilute your deck with Victory cards if you want to win. Legendary only rewards you for fighting, so you can't just sit back and buy things all game. With Asension you just buy cards to buy more cards which let you buy even more cards and then you win! There are different strategies to achieve that goal, but they all just generally depend on you doing more of the same...

It's 95% copper. That's gotta be close enough. Else when you melt it down they should just separate like oil and water, right? No, they'll be in solution. You'll have to get the 5% to react with something if you want to get pure copper (no idea what else is in there (maybe zinc or tin?), but that shouldn't be too hard since copper is relatively unreactive). Copper wiring is over 99% pure (often 99.99% pure according to the interwebs), so you won't be getting full price without refinement...
