I very much don’t. My time is valuable.
lol this guy… with a history of giving Trump stimulants like candy and who was drunk on the job
It depends on the behavior of the officer. It’s the difference between these two statements:
“I’m going to make things worse than they should be for you if you don’t do what I want”
And
“Ok, I will not fulfill my duty because you offered me something to look the other way.”
In the first case, the officer IS using the threat of imprisonment to have sex with someone. In the second case, the officer is shirking his duty because the arrestee has offered a quid pro quo. These are two different scenarios and it comes down to who is instigating the act. In the eyes of the law, intentions matter. This is why there is a distinction between first and second degree murder.
I’d be asking for more — emotional distress, rent to live somewhere else while they fixed my house for months, additional money for the inconvenience.
You’re basically saying if anyone commits a crime and an officer arrests them for that crime, but the person offers money or sex to get out of it, and the officer accepts, then that person was robbed or raped. So, all any criminal needs to do to become a victim is convince the officer to take their bribe.
Don’t you think there is nuance in how both parties behaved?
If the officer was going to execute their duties fairly, but gave in to temptation and took the persons offer; that is bribery and corruption.
If the officer fabricated or embellished the charges and used that to make a threat against someone in order to pressure that person to give something of value, then that is rape/robbery, and blackmail.
A court and jury should review the case closely, but from the article, it sounds like the officer was doing his duty in arresting the woman on legitimate legal grounds, and then she offered sex to get out of trouble, which he accepted. I did not see any evidence that he threatened to escalate the trouble she was already in, in order to get sex out of her.
I see… I only remember the very early days of Justin.tv and kind of lost track of it between then and when it became twitch.
I think it’s a little different than straight up rape. Rape is forcing a sexual encounter on someone. In this case, the woman was not forced to have sex, she tried to use sex to get out of legal trouble. This is the definition of bribery. Here is a thought experiment - if the woman offered money instead of sex, would you say the officer robbed her? I doubt it. The woman offered a bribe, the officer accepted it. The officer is corrupt, not a rapist. Let’s not absolve the woman for offering bribes just because what she offered was sex instead of something else of value.
Now, if the woman was not in legitimate legal trouble and the officer fabricated a charge and threatened her with it unless she had sex with him, that is rape and blackmail. Doesn’t seem to be what happened in this case though. The woman was in legitimate legal trouble.
You’re not wrong
I don’t think the reason the US hasn’t sent soldiers is because it doesn’t have 3000 available.
Was Justin.tv doing copyright infringing things? I seem to remember it was just a guy streaming his everyday life. He would literally wear a hat with a camera on it and record everything he did all day. It makes sense that it became twitch because they solved a technical problem around mass streaming that empowers twitch today.
It’s likely they were trying to get the news riled up so they could cause a moral outrage that would attract attention to the game.
Wow, today I learned. Nintendo is pretty protective of its IP, so it’s nuts that these were allowed to be made by another company in the first place.
Blake Stone. Now that’s a name I haven’t heard in awhile
Honestly, your job doesn’t matter. Study the absolute hell out of leetcode and do mock interviews. Then, when you feel confident you’ll know you’re ready.
India, maybe stop kissing Russia’s ass
Looks cool, and a major first letting players be Zelda
Can’t they do that at the Capitol Hill Club?
It’s not the speed that kills you, it’s the force?
How is that even legal and not a violation of the 1st amendment?
