"Going forward with over half a ton of meat on board is dangerous," he said......

Either way, that would be a whole lot of wigglin' and shufflin' and squirming around, incessantly. Precarious stuff, that. Then they could visit another Italian bakery in town, topped-off with another ice-cream treat, or two..

Better to just install moving sidewalks everywhere and then install cardiac/diabetes care franchise stops along the way.

Sweden looks to US model to curb deadly gang shootings

Police in Stockholm are considering using a strategy against gun violence pioneered in gang-ridden US cities to counter a wave of shootings including an incident in which a 12-year-old girl was killed in crossfire last week.

Senior officers from the Swedish capital have visited the southern city of Malmö, which has greatly reduced its shootings by using the Group Violence Intervention (GVI) methods pioneered in the 1990s in US cities.

Shows what the US news considers important -- might be better coverage on BBC

I must ask, having seen and read News reports of the shooting of Mr. Blake by police, in Wisconsin, does it not occur to such young men (and older) to simply co-operate when ordered to do so by officers?

For example, if I were ever pulled-over by police and ordered to do something like not get back into my car, what do you imagine I would do?

You and I would most likely do what we were told.

Are the protests and riots still happening? I see very little about this on news programs.

I don't think that you can compare yourself to such men.

Pretty sure you're not a young or older black man. Pretty sure you're an older relatively affluent white man.

No one should be shot in the back. While walking away. Bring 10 cars and block his from driving away. Yes its a pita way of doing things. Yet a lot easier then putting out fires.

[MurphOnMillerAve]

And if Mr Blake had co-operated, in the first place, would the outcome(s) have been different ?
