All that does practically is prevent them from making arrests. It does not prevent them from deploying on US soil, or using force against civilians.

No military force will ever be deployed anywhere with that restriction. They could be delivering food and medicine to an orphanage, and they would still be prepared to respond to any aggression.

It's also interesting that he sees his own leadership in the party as being hopelessly undermined - yet he hasn't resigned for the good of the party. That's so fucking telling.

We need to take the Democratic party away from the weak and disconnected fools and shills that run it. Third party strategies in a first past the post system are self defeating. What this call shows is that the establishment can't cope with strong progressives in the party. Outside the party, we just make a great excuse every time Republicans win.

If this doesn't clue you in, then you are a hopeless case.

Those are IPv6 addresses that work a bit differently than IPv4. Most customers only get assigned a single IPv4 address, and even a lot of big data centers only have one or two blocks of 256 addresses. The smallest allocation of IPv6 for a single residential customer is typically a contiguous block of the 18,446,744,073,709,551,616 addresses mentioned.

If Google's security team is even marginally competent, they will recognize those contiguous blocks and treat them as they would a single IPv4 address. Every address in that block has the same prefix, and it's actually easier to track on those prefixes than on the entire address.

The training is not even similar, and neither are the hiring practices. I think that is the key difference.

I don't think you are entirely wrong though. Police tend to act very differently when up against protesters who are known to be armed. That's a big reason why concealed carry is allowed in many places when open carry isn't. The politicians don't want their thugs to be intimidated.

The order is far from certain to come. It's not like Trump or his buddies will be anywhere close to the action, and a general order to unnecessarily fire on civilians is not even likely to be passed down.

Modern is different from contemporary, and by professional I don't just mean paid.
