Evolution isn't some sentient force striving for perfection. There is a lot of retarded stuff that we have evolution to thank for. This could just be a side effect of some other trait that normally helps the fish survive. Plus, earthquakes don't happen often enough to affect evolution in the long run.

What do you mean from that distance? By the time he shot her they were <5 feet apart.

You're right, it doesn't change the fact that the cop completely failed at controlling the situation and she is now dead because of that, but it muddy's the water and creates conversations that don't need to be had (like this).

I don't know why you seem to think that getting boiling water thrown at you would be like taking a hot shower, but that could seriously mess someone up for life.

Nope, she still had the pot in her hands up until the point he shoots her. You can even see steam coming off the ground after she gets shot.

I don't think either of their lives are more or less important than the others, but I do think the officer has the full responsibility for how that situation plays out.

I just hate the dishonesty about the situation, it makes your criticism look weaker. You can 100% criticize the cop without lying about the facts.

In his partners body cam video you can hear a sound before he starts shooting. Still don't know how you would mistake that for a gunshot, but there was at least a sound 🤷

I read aggressive as in accelerating aggressively. Possibly to get around people?

While that is true, it's not fair to say "see they lied! In completely different circumstances you only get a fraction of the range!" Even for ICE vehicles they use ideal conditions to measure their MPG/range even though most people aren't driving in ideal conditions.

Looks like the plan is for it to eventually reach speeds over 4000 mph.

As someone who has floored it in a Tesla with no racing experience, it really isn't hard to stay in the lane.
