Dallas officer Amber Guyger, who killed a black man in his apartment, shot a man last year
https://www.usatoday.com/story/news...t-someone-before-fatally-shooting/1248119002/

The Dallas police officer who says she fatally shot a black man in his apartment believing that it was her own apartment also shot another man last year, according to court documents.

Police say Amber Guyger, a four-year veteran of the force, told investigators she was returning home from her shift Thursday night and accidentally entered Botham Jean's apartment. Guyger, who is white, believed Jean was an intruder and shot him, police said. Police have released few other details.

"Right now there are more questions than answers," Police Chief Renee said. "We understand the concerns of the community. That is why we are working as vigorously and meticulously as we can to ensure the integrity of the case and the department is upheld."

In May 2017, Guyger was called to assist another officer searching for a suspect. An affidavit indicates a man identified as Uvaldo Perez got out of a car and became combative with Guyger and another officer. A struggle began and Guyger fired her Taser at Perez, who wrested the weapon away from her. Guyger then drew her gun and shot Perez in the abdomen, the affidavit says. Guyger was not charged in the case.

Who needs a fucking link?
His job was to play quarterback, not stand for the anthem.
There's no need to play the anthem before sporting events.

And I'm fucking sick of so many people who never served in the military showing their "reverence" for "the troops."
As a decorated veteran, I know that my conscribed service had nothing to do with protecting America but rather to be cannon fodder for repugnant war profiteers.
Instead of worshiping the troops, protest the stupid wars, you fucking morons. That would be constructive.

Obama took 2 wars to 7 wars pard, sorry, you're once again unable to do anything but promote the corporate state mantra. The Pentagon cannot account for $21T dollares worth of spending between 1998-2015. Where we choose as a society to spend and who we get what we spend from shows us all what the current state of affairs is in this society. The illusion has worn thin.

Veterans are 21% more likely to commit suicide than their civilian counterparts, according to the data, and in 2014 some 7,400 veterans took their own lives.

The majority of veterans who kill themselves aren’t from the most recent generation of Iraq and Afghanistan veterans, according to the report. Among veterans, 65% who commit suicide are at least 50 years old.

The data from the VA, which will be refined into a final report later this month, shows that veterans who have signed up for VA benefits have drastically lower suicide rates than veterans who don’t use the VA. Some 75% of vet suicides are among those who don’t use the department’s services.

Female veterans who don’t use VA services have had suicide rates shoot up by 98% since 2001, making them a major at-risk group.

“Sustained progress will require a comprehensive approach to help ensure our most at-risk veterans have not only the care they need but also a job, a purpose and a system of support in place to help carry them through their struggles,” said Rep. Jeff Miller (R., Fla.), chairman of the House Committee on Veterans’ Affairs in a statement.

Suicide rates across all populations have been rising for years, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Since 1999, suicide rates in the U.S. have gone up 24% with rates among women rising by more than double the rates among men.

The VA has been making a push to address mental health issues among veterans, including efforts to focus on holistic treatment of patients, for example, screening for mental health issues when someone visits a clinic for an unrelated issue such as a checkup or a physical injury.

The VA also boasts that its veterans crisis line, a phone system set up to respond immediately to veterans who call in, has more staff and is responding to more calls than ever since its launch in 2007.

But a February inspection from the VA’s inspector general showed that calls to the crisis line sometimes go unanswered, are forwarded to voice mail or are answered by secondary personnel who might not have received adequate training in dealing with at-risk veterans.

The department said, in an official response to the inspection, that all issues would be addressed by Fall, 2016.

Perhaps big pharma has an opioid solution.
