Multiple Perspectives

Are citizens treating cops with disrespect because of the events in Ferguson?

The U.S. Navy now has a fully operational laser gun.

National homeless problems and possible solutions.

"Michael Brown’s name is being invoked all across the country, and it’s sure to cause more problems for law enforcement officers trying to do their job.

A shopper detained on Black Friday at a Pennsylvania Walmart became unreasonable when asked to prove that he had paid for his merchandise and refused to show his ID, claiming the officer knew who he was.

Watch the disgusting incident unfold here and see if you agree that the man was doing little more than exploiting the death of Michael Brown to save his own hide:

  ― Tom Tillison (Biz Pac Review)

"The technology’s big advantage is its operational efficiency, as firing one shot costs just around $1, the Navy has repeatedly stressed. But lasers have their own peculiarities, with efficacy depending on weather conditions, the presence of dust and vapors in the air, and other factors. The range of the LaWS, which is limited by those factors, remains classified.

Despite those hypothetical limitations, the Navy announced that sailors working with the system reported that 'the weapon performed flawlessly, including in adverse weather conditions of high winds, heat and humidity.'"

  ― Russia Today

"A survey of the homeless population shows that 51 percent of homeless adults in the city are physically disabled, 26 percent are severely mentally ill and 22 percent are victims of domestic violence. Almost a quarter of the homeless in the city report that they are employed, which is higher than the 18 percent national average.

The city expects the number of homeless adults to remain steady this year.

About 9 percent of homeless adults in the city are veterans — who have been a target of state and city programs designed to get them into permanent housing.

Veterans who have served at least 181 days on active duty may be eligible for a one-time payment from the Minnesota Assistance Council for Veterans that can help them with transportation, housing or other costs. The typical cost for that program is $500 to $700, although it can be higher if the veteran needs to find new housing."

Social media users raise awareness of White privilege with #CrimingWhileWhite.

The nation's students blame Michelle Obama for unappetizing school lunches.

The Silicon Valley's homeless are forced to leave their encampment homes.

"President Obama announced this week that, in response to Ferguson and other cases of cops killing unarmed black men, the White House would call for $75 million to make 50,000 body cameras available to police departments across the country.

But on Wednesday, a grand jury declined to indict New York police officers in the choking death of Eric Garner -- a case in which there was footage. And the timing couldn't really be worse for the White House."

  ― Nia-Malika Henderson (Washington Post)

“[Those expletives] who are looting, those aren’t real black people, those are scumbags. Real black people, they’re not out there looting. I just watched a great story on CNN where bunch of folks wouldn’t let them burn down an establishment, it was a great story…. But unfortunately, the way the media portrays a lot of black people, we only put the negative black people on television. We don’t put the good hard-working black people. That’s what I said and that’s what I meant. There’s a perception amongst some black people that if you’re not a thug or a hood rat, you don’t wear your pants down by your [expletive] you’re not black enough. And they’re always holding us back, plain and simple. And I a’int shutting up and I a’int backing down.

I’m not saying who is right or wrong, I’m just hearing the true story that came out of the grand jury investigation…. Let me just say this. I think that we, we – I know I’m black, but I’m going to try to always be honest and fair – we have to be really careful with the cops. If it wasn’t for the cops, we’d be living in the wild wild west in out neighborhoods. We can’t pick out certain incidents that don’t go our way and act like the cops are all bad. I hate when we do that. Think about it. Do you know how bad some of these neighborhoods would be if it wasn’t for the cops? It’s always great to play monday morning quarterback…. Like I say, I don’t know what happened in Ferguson, nobody knows what happened. I want to take the time as a responsible person [and] read the grand jury statement.”

Controversial news regarding Kim Kardashian, Michael Phelps, and Bill Cosby.

President Obama protects immigrants with an executive order, similar to Bush and Reagan.

Obesity is taking a toll on global economics.

"Chandler, who writes that she thinks her revelation may cause Phelps to terminate their relationship, claims on a Facebook page filled with photos of Phelps that she met the 29-year-old swimmer on Tinder and said their relationship was 'like a teenage love affair' and that they attended a Baltimore Ravens game on their first date. Phelps has not commented on the post and spent the month of October in rehab after his DUI arrest in September. He is serving a six-month suspension by U.S. Swimming and his DUI trial in Baltimore is set for Dec. 19.

On Wednesday, she wrote: 'Heard from Michael he is out of rehab and back home' and added that she is frustrated with how her story is being reported.

'I never lied to him,' Chandler said. 'We were together for such a short period of time, I never had a chance to tell him about my life.'"

  ― Cindy Boren (Washington Post)

"Obama said he was forced to act because of Congress' inability to pass a bill to overhaul the nation's broken immigration system.

The Senate passed such a bill last year that would have allowed 8 million undocumented immigrants to become U.S. citizens and dedicated $38 billion to increase border security. That bill was rejected by Boehner, and the chamber failed to consider any plan of its own."

  ― David Jackson and Alan Gomez (USA TODAY)

"In emerging markets, as countries get richer, the rate of obesity rises to the same level as that found in more developed countries. The report offers the stark prediction that nearly half of the world's adult population will be overweight or obese by 2030 should present trends continue.

The report's authors argue that efforts to deal with obesity have been piecemeal until now, and that a systemic response is needed."

“However mean your life is, meet it and live it; do not shun it and call it hard names. It is not so bad as you are. It looks poorest when you are richest. The fault-finder will find faults even in paradise. Love your life, poor as it is. You may perhaps have some pleasant, thrilling, glorious hours, even in a poorhouse. The setting sun is reflected from the windows of the almshouse as brightly as from the rich man's abode; the snow melts before its door as early in the spring. I do not see but a quiet mind may live as contentedly there, and have as cheering thoughts, as in a palace.”

An Irish teacher is rejected from job in Korea, because she's Irish.

A congressional source claims that Obama's secret letter has "f**ked everything up."

Women missed breakfast at Philadelphia McDonald's; fight breaks out.

"It takes somewhere between two to ten kilos of plants, depending on the type of plants involved, to produce one kilo of animal. Given the limited amount of productive land in the world, it would seem to some to make more sense to focus our culinary attentions on plants, because we would arguably get more energy per hectare for human consumption. Theoretically this should also mean fewer sentient animals would be killed to feed the ravenous appetites of ever more humans.

Producing protein from wheat means ploughing pasture land and planting it with seed. Anyone who has sat on a ploughing tractor knows the predatory birds that follow you all day are not there because they have nothing better to do. Ploughing and harvesting kill small mammals, snakes, lizards and other animals in vast numbers. In addition, millions of mice are poisoned in grain storage facilities every year."

  ― Mike Archer (IFL Science)

"The Wall Street Journal reported Thursday that, according to people briefed on the letter, Obama wrote to Khamenei in the middle of last month and stressed that any cooperation on dealing with the Islamic State, or ISIS, was tied to Iran striking a deal over its nuclear program. The U.S., Iran and other negotiators are facing a Nov. 24 deadline for such a deal."

  ― Chad Pergram (Fox News)

"It's our right to feed people, it's our First Amendment right and I believe in the fatherhood of God and the brotherhood of man, and we should be allowed to feed our fellow man. We've heard from every continent, the last I heard was from Kenya and Moscow. I've heard from South America, any number of people from Canada, three newspapers from the United Kingdom. I am both enthused and humbled. The good news is that there is pressure being put on the city of Fort Lauderdale to do something about a law that is not only unfair, it's repressive. What the city is doing by cutting out feeding is very simple -- they are forcing homeless people to go Dumpster-diving all over again. They will steal. That's what the mayor is forcing the homeless to do. I love the city. I live here, it's a beautiful place and I'd like to keep it beautiful, but you cannot sweep the homeless under a rug. There is no rug large enough for that."

  ― Arnold Abbott (Fort Lauderdale man feeding the homeless)

Trayvon Martin and George Zimmerman: (Un)provoked aggression?

"Radio host Dennis Prager has wisely observed that to the left, truth is not a value. Ideology is a value. And so the myths of Shepard and Trayvon must live on. That's because the left understands that narrative drives hearts and minds, rather than argument. Were the left to openly contend that gay men and women around America are in danger every day from the vastly homophobic majority of the American populace, most Americans would rightly be insulted and skeptical. Were the left to suggest that most Americans are vicious racists a hairsbreadth away from murdering black teenagers, most Americans would scoff. Instead, the left trots out cases like Shepard and cases like Trayvon -- and manufactures those cases to fit their needs.

Racism and anti-gay hatred must be wiped from the map. But there is no need to fudge the facts in order to combat them. The left's need to seize on individual cases as impetus for broad societal change demonstrates just how desperate the left is to paint exceptional cases as the rule to justify a broader agenda."

  ― Ben Shapiro (Townhall)

"Lawmakers from the Black, Latino and Asian Pacific Islander caucuses also wore hooded sweatshirts at a press conference in the Capitol that day. In a statement from the conference, Latino Caucus chair Rep. Ricardo Lara (D-Calif.) called for the reform of Florida's controversial "Stand Your Ground" legislation, the law that is currently protecting Zimmerman from arrest. Lara's remarks from the statement:"

  ― Anna Almendrala (Huffington Post)

"The stand-your-ground vs. duty-to-retreat distinction comes up in the relatively unusual case in which you are faced with a threat of death, serious bodily injury, etc., but you can escape with perfect safety. If you’re facing an assailant with a gun, it generally doesn’t matter what state you’re in, because you generally can’t escape a gun with perfect safety. So if you’re in the fortunately very rare scenario in which you reasonably believe that the person outside the clinic will imminently shoot you, you can shoot him in any state (if you’ve got a gun, that is). And if you’re in the much more common scenario in which you just think the person might slap you or block your entrance or insult you, you can’t shoot him in any state. Only in the very rare scenario in which you think the person might kill or seriously injure you, but with a deadly weapon that you can flee with perfect safety would it matter whether you’re in a stand-your-ground state or a duty-to-retreat state."

"You can nearly feel the tension begin to build up in the encounter as the police officer appears to be running out of patience with Seim and his continuous questioning. It is when the private citizen repeated his request for official identification that matters began to get dicey.

In the end, Seim does explain to the now irritated officer why he made his citizen’s police stop. He states that citizens need to know if they are truly being pulled over by real cops or someone pretending to be a law enforcement officer."

"In his final act of kindness before his death, Henwood bought cookies for Scott at a McDonald’s restaurant on Fairmount Avenue.

Scott was hungry and short on change and Henwood, a total stranger, offered to buy him the cookies in a tender moment caught on surveillance tape. The two shared a smile and some small talk, with the officer telling Scott to work hard, before Henwood took off.

Moments later, Henwood was critically shot while sitting in his patrol car by suspect Dejon Marquee, who pulled up alongside the officer’s vehicle and opened fire in an unprovoked attack."

"A male flier began coughing and yelling that he was infected with Ebola disease and was from Africa. Video footage of the scene aboard the plane shows the concerned looks on passengers’ faces as the news spread of a possible carrier of the disease who was exhibiting symptoms...Apparently, flight personnel notified a hazardous material response team on the ground, which follows protocol for Ebola evaluation based on the Centers For Disease Control and Prevention (CDC)...When the aircraft landed at Punta Cana International Airport, four crew members dressed in blue hazmat suits boarded the plane and isolated the supposed Ebola sufferer. The man was eventually led off the plane and evaluated at the airport’s medical center. Hours later, officials said the man did not show any Ebola symptoms."

  ― Inquisitr

"Now, Liberia's church leaders are claiming the deadly outbreak is a plague God has sent to punish the nation for 'immoral acts' such as homosexuality. Are Liberia's prophets and pastors right? Is the Ebola outbreak God's judgment on the nation for immoral acts? And, if so, shouldn't we expect it to spread to the doorsteps of Europe, Asia and America, whose citizens are practicing many of the same immoral sins? Or is this just one small piece of the bigger end-times picture? Consider the words of Jesus in Matthew 24 in context to the age:

For many will come in My name, saying, 'I am the Christ,' and will deceive many. And you will hear of wars and rumors of wars. See that you are not troubled; for all these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet. For nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. And there will be famines, pestilences, and earthquakes in various places. All these are the beginning of sorrows. Then they will deliver you up to tribulation and kill you, and you will be hated by all nations for My name's sake. And then many will be offended, will betray one another, and will hate one another. Then many false prophets will rise up and deceive many. And because lawlessness will abound, the love of many will grow cold. But he who endures to the end shall be saved. And this gospel of the kingdom will be preached in all the world as a witness to all the nations, and then the end will come" (Matt. 24:5-14)

“Imagine there is a bank account that credits your account each morning with $86,400. It carries over no balance from day to day. Every evening the bank deletes whatever part of the balance you failed to used during the day. What would you do? Draw out every cent, of course? Each of us has such a bank, it's name is time. Every morning, it credits you 86,400 seconds. Every night it writes off at a lost, whatever of this you failed to invest to a good purpose. It carries over no balance. It allows no over draft. Each day it opens a new account for you. Each night it burns the remains of the day. If you fail to use the day's deposits, the loss is yours. There is no drawing against "tomorrow". You must live in the present on today's deposits. Invest it so as to get from it the utmost in health, happiness, and health. The clock is running. Make the most of today.”

Is space colonization practical for humanity in the near future?

"NASA and the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) will investigate ways to collaborate on future missions to Mars, officials said Tuesday (Sept. 30). The announcement comes just one week after India put its first-ever Mars probe in orbit around the Red Planet, becoming just the fourth entity (after the United States, the Soviet Union and the European Space Agency) to do so."

  ― Mike Wall (Senior Writer, Yahoo News)

"I think there is a strong humanitarian argument for making life multi-planetary, in order to safeguard the existence of humanity in the event that something catastrophic were to happen, in which case being poor or having a disease would be irrelevant, because humanity would be extinct. It would be like, 'Good news, the problems of poverty and disease have been solved, but the bad news is there aren’t any humans left.'"

  ― Elon Musk (CEO, SpaceX;Tesla)

"Colonies on the moon present several advantages. The moon has 1/6 the gravitational pull of the Earth, so it could become a cheaper spaceport from which to launch missions to other parts of our solar system. It has some natural resources, which could be mined, such as regions with high titanium concentrations and implanted helium from the sun, which could be used for developing energy from fusion. The moon has not undergone as much volcanic and tectonic processing as the Earth, so it still retains information from the early history of the solar system, which has been lost here on our home planet—it therefore can help us better understand the origin and early history of our own planet."

  ― Dr. Nadine G. Barlow (Professor, NAU)
