Absolutely.
No, no no... I think you might have cited earlier that it's more important to get someone like me. Never mind terrorism, grooming, pedophilia and stalking on the Internet. Not to mention hate speech and incitement.
True that, people are in their right to call the police and obviously if everyone took the law into their own hands, society could be in trouble since we all have different ideas of whats right, wrong, safe, unsafe etc.
And yes, I was released later without charge and told not to give chase again as it was a danger to myself and also, other people. The guy was a repeat offender from what I remember, either hard-up, lazy, desperate or some other factor I was unaware of but then I tend to think if we all went nicking things we wanted then who knows what would happen.
Of course at the time I was even more naive than I am now and only faintly aware of the tax-dodge that these 1% wealth commit on a daily basis, but then again just because they are doing something wrong doesn't give another the right to do something wrong to them.
Saying this, however, if I saw someone in trouble (i.e; being held at knifepoint or getting their head stamped on) I would probably at least attempt to intervene since it's just not in my nature to ignore that kind of thing, I'd rather get stabbed or my head stamped on than overlook something like that. So obviously, I didn't learn from the arrest
And then there's Ipods and at what speed are you actually walking rather than running.
devolve /d????v??lv/. verb
1.
transfer or delegate (power) to a lower level, especially from central government to local or regional administration.
"measures to devolve power to a Scottish assembly"
synonyms: delegate, pass (down/on), hand down/over/on, depute, transfer, transmit, commit, assign, consign, convey, entrust, turn over, make over, sign over, give, part with, let go of, leave, cede, surrender, relinquish, deliver;
2. formal
pass into (a different state, especially a worse one); degenerate.
"the Empire devolved into separate warring states"
The formal use of devolve does seem to be usable in the way RuNner applied it earlier. It has been used that way in general speech for a number of years now, whether it was correct at the outset or not, it is certainly accepted as correct nowadays. Also if the only synonym for it is degenerate, then that supports the was runner used it.
Aside from that, I disagree with everything he has written. Oh no wait, he keeps changing his mind, so I disagree with most of what he has contributed.
Awesome! did you know that off the top of your head or did you paste it from a resource? Dissolve and devolve also have similar meanings then since the formal states to pass into a different state, I do love the English language sometimes but no wonder it must be so hard to learn.
As for keep changing my mind, like I said for me nothing is set in stone; I'm an atheist but I can't disprove a God therefore accept one could, in fact, exist. It's very hard to publicise the entirety of ones thoughts in word form, particularly on an internet forum where new responses and ideas occur at every turn and I'm sure people get bored enough reading the quagmire that is my convoluted thoughts and feelings.
Fair dos.
Surely science can disprove God. Ok, semantics, no-one can prove one.
oh Runners World How I have missed thee.....
Pages and pages of strangness going round and round.
For what its worth..I have repect for the Police on the whole but it is not unconditional.
