1 Scripts for Recruiters Companion Script Guide for The New Recruiters Tool Kit Copyright 2010 Scott Love 1
2 How to Use This Guide Use this companion script guide while watching the program and also after you have completed it. Once you watch the video, the scripts will make more sense in how they are used. Engaging Candidates First Contact: Hello,? My name is. We haven t talked before / You and I don t know each other But your name came across my desk earlier today, and I needed to talk with you about something I m working on. Do you have a second? Or You and I have a common friend in and he suggested I give you a call. Do you have a second? I work for ABC Search Consultants. We specialize in recruiting high performers in the widget industry. One of our clients has engaged us in a search, and I think your background fits what I m looking for. I wanted to just touch base with you, Joe, to make and introduction and to see if you are open to hearing about other things. What are your thoughts about that? Are they qualified? Give me a thirty second overview of your background, like how long you ve been in the industry, been with your company, what sort of projects you ve worked on. What is their motive? If you could say you were between zero and one hundred percent satisfied, where 2
3 would you put yourself in that range? I m 80% satisfied. What s in that 20% that s keeping you 100% satisfied? Or On a scale of 1 to 10,where would you put yourself in that range? Ideal opportunity Let s just say I had your dream job on my desk and I was going to call you up and tell you about it. What would be some things that you would have to see (or love to have) in your next opportunity? Move forward It sounds like your background may be a fit for something that we re working on, and that our client s opportunity might be interesting to you. Let me tell you about it. Let me make sure I have your info. Let me get your cell number. Should I call you on that instead of your work number? Do you have a personal address? Do you have a resume that s updated? How soon can you send it to me? If the Candidate Says They Are Happy If the candidate says they are not open, then move away and build rapport. No problem, most of the people we talk to are happy where they are. How long have you lived in Chicago? I was in there last spring for a cubs game. Do you ever go to their games? 3
4 Rebuttal: Most of the people I talk with fit into one of three categories. They are either going to retire with their current company, or they are actively looking to make a move, or they are somewhere in the middle. Where do you think you d put yourself in that range? Then do you think it s possible that there might be something better for you out there? Do you think that s a possibility? Then let me make a suggestion,. What I d like to do is spend a few minutes with you finding out more about you, where you are today in your career, where you ve come from, and also where you want to go. And if the place you want to go in your career is a place that our client can take you, then we ll tell you everything about them and you can decide for yourself to go forward. Whatever you want to do is fine with me. Getting Referrals That s fine,. Let me give you my contact info because anytime you want to talk about career issues, I want you to call us. Even if you want to stay with your current company and you get a raise or a bonus and you want to find out if that s any good compared to other people, just call us because we keep track of that information and we d be happy to help you with that. Wow, thanks! No problem,. Say, maybe you can help me on my search. I m looking for a with experience. Who do you know who fits that profile someone who probably isn t looking to make a move and might even seem happy where they are. I m just trying to network with as many people as possible right now. Get one piece of information from them and they will be more inclined to give you names. Ask low risk questions such as things related to other companies, people who left their company, and people within their company who aren't being treated well. 4
5 Scripts for MPC Candidates MPC Candidates When you recruit and find a candidate who is open to moving but doesn't fit your current search, use this phrase to get them on board as an MPC. MPC stands for Most Placeable Candidate, also known as an Impact Player, or Impact Candidate. These are those candidates who are amazing and are the most sought-after by employers. You can market them to hiring managers as a way to (1) make placements, (2) open up doors to find out about other opportunities, and (3) build relationships with hiring managers. Most of my time is spent conducting searches for clients who hire our firm to find good people. But I do spend some of my time with those candidates who are exceptional and who want to make a move but don't want to jeopardize their current situation. So for them I can use our firm's reputation and my personal rolodex to open up opportunities for them. Is that the type of relationship you'd like to have with our firm? When making presentations to clients, make sure you give them quantifiable and measurable results when you make contact with them and in the message you leave for them. Find out what those key outcomes are by asking the candidates this question: Let's just say that I presented you to a company and they asked why they should hire you. What do you think the three greatest reasons would be? Then after they give you the responses, ask questions such as How so? or What do you mean? to find out specific measurable outcomes. If you still can't get measurable outcomes, ask this question: What would I observe with my own eyes that would lead me to come to that conclusion about your performance? So if they say, 'I'm a good leader', you can ask that question to get key outcomes. 5
6 Scripts Selling Services to Clients Asking for Business Bob, I talk to lots of good people all day in your industry. And right now I m seeing some movement of some very good people. Let s just say I come across someone who is exceptional. What type of person should I pick up the phone and call you and tell you about when I come across them? Well, we are looking for a What steps have you taken to fill the position? On a scale of 1 10, 10 meaning it s critical, what is your urgency level? So does that mean I should clear my desk off and push all of my existing clients off to the side and make your search my top priority? What is important to you in choosing a search firm? SPIN Selling Use the SPIN Selling model to probe for buying motives: Situation What is the background and the situation in their company? Problem What are the problems they are encountering? Implication What are the problems that will follow if the situation is not resolved? Need You show how your services can solve for the need of your client. 6
7 W5H questions Ask the following open ended questions to uncover problems and issues. Who What Where When Why How When you find potential problems, ask questions which allow them to elaborate, such as: Why do you say that exactly? How so? What do you mean by that? The Magic Questions When leading clients forward after you set expectations or make recommendations, use these two 'magic questions' to gain commitment and increase compliance: Does that make sense? Are you okay with that? 7
8 Taking Search Assignments Confirm the Specifications of the Open Position Results and outcomes: "If this person worked for you for a year and they only accomplished three things and you would still call them a success, what would those three things be?" Those three outcomes are the primary guiding force of this search. Use that to: guide your search activity screen and qualify candidates against it present the candidate in those terms (makes them look better than the rest) close the deal with the client Key Selling Points of the Opportunity: Overview - company's story: why do people like working there? "If I did a survey among your employees as to why they would recommend your company as a place of employment for candidates, what would they say?" Tell me about your tenure. Tell me about any charities or fun events you are involved in. If I had a candidate who was exceptional and who was sitting on the fence, what would that person need to know to be swayed to come and interview in your office? Tell me about the natural progression of advancement for this position. Tell me about others who worked in this position before. What happened after they were promoted? What are some other success stories? 8
9 Compensation for the Position Salary: Low to High, and test it. If they say 70 80k: So if I found someone who was currently making 80k, would you still want to see them? If they say yes, then test again until you reach the true high of the range. Other types of compensation: vehicle, gas, transportation, moving, housing allowances, retirement programs, insurance, other benefits Bonus: What type? Individual performance Group performance Combination of the two How determined? Percentage formula discretionary When paid? How much paid in past? Next Steps: Set Expectations with Client: 1. In terms of what is happening next. 2. In terms of their role in the process. 3. In terms of your role in the process. "Let me tell you what happens next." Confirm a target week for interviews. Confirm communication expectation. 9
10 "From this point on, the only time I will leave a message for you is for one of two reasons: I either have a candidate who wants to speak to you about the opportunity, or I need information to give a candidate about the opportunity. Either way, I need to know that you and I will be able to get back to each other within 24 hours of leaving messages for each other. That's because there's a window of opportunity, and we have no idea how quickly that will shut on us." "Does that make sense to you?" "Are you okay with that?" Advance Prep on The Offer Once we get to the finalists and you know who you want, I'll have a chance to find out what realistically the candidate would need to say yes to an offer and let you know that. Once you know what you want to offer the candidate, I'll test that offer with the candidate to make sure it will be accepted. If not, I'll let you know. If it will work, I'll coach the candidate into accepting the offer the day he gets it and start prepping him on turning his notice in right away. 10
11 Interview Preps, Debriefs and Closing Interview Preps: Candidates Has anything changed since we talked last? How do you feel about everything? Confirm logistics. Do not assume anything. Confirm opening position, history of your client, and background of the opening. Give your perspective on the people that the candidate will be meeting with; help candidate get to know them before showing up. Three phases: beginning, middle, end Beginning: build rapport; find things in common. Middle: why you are there End: bringing closure and moving it forward Interview Coaching: The Beginning Build rapport by finding common areas of interest, such as previous common clients, people you have in common, previous work history that might be similar, schools you went to, what part of town you live in, etc. Be relaxed and remember this is a free flow of information between the two of you. Come prepared with a list of questions. Be enthusiastic. Dress appropriately. Stress the importance of the first impression. Be punctual. Give them the client s office phone and cel number (and your cel number) Do not portray previous or current employer negatively. Do not seem aloof or disinterested. Interview Coaching: The Middle Talk about the three key performance objectives.* Talk about specific results you have achieved. 11
12 Ask questions that relate to results you might achieve while working there. Give specific examples that validate your expertise. Compensation: don t bring up money; don t ask about benefits, vacation, other forms of comp. Be sure to answer their questions directly. Answer it first, then expound on it. Interview Coaching: The End Ask them: Based on what you have seen of my background, are there any concerns? At this point, what do you suggest the next step in the process is? Schedule the next meeting right then and there. Call me when you get to your car. (or) Let s you and I touch base right after your interview. Gut Check: How do you feel about everything? Do you have any questions for me? Interview Preps: Clients Confirm logistics and find out who is involved in the interview (so you can let the candidate know) Make sure you hit on the pushes and the pulls The candidate may seem nervous, anxious, and their true personality isn t what you see on the first interview normally. Three phases: Introduction, Evaluation and Wrap Up. Introduction: getting to know each other, making the candidate feel comfortable. Evaluation: discussing candidate performance and outcomes. Wrap-up: bringing closure and moving it forward. Interview Coaching for Clients: What is the most significant impact? Tell me about your leadership skills? Give me specific examples. With each performance objective, ask what results they achieved in their current place of work and their previous places; how did they accomplish them? (what actions did you take?) How would you accomplish each performance objective if you worked here in the future? 12
13 Postpone comp until next meeting; it adds stress to the interview. Encourage future peers, subordinates, and other colleagues to build relationship with the candidate. Find those who might have a strong bond with the candidate or something in common with him. Wrap Up Schedule second meeting right then and there. If not interested, tell him you need to talk among your colleagues and you ll have me get back in touch with him. Let s touch base that afternoon after you have a chance to discuss the candidate. Candidate Debrief Walk me through a play by play overview, from the time you showed up to the time you left. Who did you meet with? What did you think of him? How did they describe the opportunity to you? What did you like best about it? How did you describe yourself to them? How did they describe the role of someone in that position being successful? How did you show them you would reach that level of success? Did you use specific examples from your past experiences like we talked about? How did they respond to that? Did they talk about money? Who brought it up? What did they say about it? How did you respond? What happened next? How do you think they perceive you based on your meeting? What are the concerns that you think they have about you? How did you handle those? Based upon the meeting, what are your thoughts about the opportunity now? What did you learn about the company that you didn t know before? (This is a good way to find out things about your client that your client won t tell you.) Do you think you would have fun working there? At this point, is there anything keeping you from moving forward? How did they leave everything? What did they say would happen next, and when? Did you schedule a second meeting right then and there? 13
14 If they offered you the job, would you take it? How soon could you start? Are there any concerns about the relocation aspect of the position? Who else would be involved in the relocation? What other opportunities do you have that are pending right now? Has anything changed since we last spoke? Candidate Move to Close Great, sounds like everything went well. So if they were to give you an offer, based on what you know about the company, would you take it? If they gave you an offer, at this point what would you say yes to? This is where we go from here. I ll call my client and confirm with them that the interest is mutual. If it is and if they want to bring you on board, after we check the references then I ll find out what their offer is before you get it, so that way you can go home and talk about it. If it s going to work for you, you then have the confidence to accept the formal offer the day that you get that. And that does two things for you. First, it shows your new employer that you are decisive, that you can make important decisions quickly. Second, it shows them that you are enthusiastic, that you are excited about coming on board. But it s really just a function of how I manage the release of that information. Does that make sense? Are you okay with that? Client Debrief Tell me about the interview with the candidate. What transpired from the time that he showed up to the time that he left? What were some of the more compelling characteristics about his background? What impressed you the most about his experience? How would you describe his ability to achieve the desired outcomes of the position? Did he have the right kind of experience? How do you think he would fit in with the rest of the group? Did you talk about compensation? Who brought it up? Who else did he meet? What did they think of him? What sort of impression do you think he had of your group? At this point, after spending time with him, is there anything that would keep you 14
15 from going forward with him? Did you address those concerns with the candidate? How did he handle those concerns? Were you confident in his responses? What other information do you need in order to make him an offer? At this point, what is your intention with the candidate? What is your timing in going forward with the candidate? Client Move to Close What I will do with the candidate is find out if he would accept your offer before the offer is even given to him. It s what I call testing the offer. I don t want him to receive a formal offer from you unless we know that there is only one outcome: his acceptance. That s because if there are any concerns or anything that we need to iron out, those things are handled before the final offer is given. And when I talk with the candidate, I m going to share that with him as well. I ll let him know that I have an idea of what the offer might be, and will go over the other benefits and compensation with him. And I ll find out if he will accept your offer if it was presented to him. Does that make sense? Are you okay with that? 15

text: 1. The present general conditions are applicable to every collaboration between the qualified professional and the client. Any exceptions must be agreed and accepted explicitly and in writing by both parties. In the event of conflict between the content of these present general conditions and the content of a letter of assignment, the letter of assignment will take precedence. In accordance with common law, the liability of the qualified professional can only be contested for assignments where it can be clearly shown that he has accepted the assignment in question. The professional practitioner is only responsible for the application of the legal and administrative provisions in force at the time of the implementation of the agreed task. 2. Unless otherwise agreed in the letter of assignment, the agreement will come into being and will start either at the moment that the letter of assignment signed by the client is received and signed by the qualified professional, or at the moment when the qualified professional effectively starts with the implementation of the assignment at the request of the client, if this start takes place at an earlier time. If the qualified professional has not yet received the letter of assignment signed by the client, all professional relations between the parties will be governed in any case by these present general conditions and the letter of assignment, from the moment and in so far as these contractual documents have been forwarded to the qualified professional by letter, by fax, by electronic mail or by personal delivery with acknowledgement of receipt for the client. 3. The BVBA will do everything within its power to comply with all relevant legal provisions. All the assignments awarded to the BVBA must be regarded as means-based (i.e. obligations to use reasonable efforts to perform the agreed services) and not as results-based.4. Unless otherwise agreed, the BVBA is not obliged to check the accuracy and the completeness of the information provided by the client or his agent(s), nor the reliability of the deeds, contracts, inventories, invoices and supporting documents of whatever kind that are entrusted to the BVBA by the client or are presented as evidentiary documents or as documents that must serve as such. The BVBA does not guarantee the accuracy of the details included in the annual accounts and/or the tax returns that are based on this information. The BVBA cannot be held liable if the client submits incorrect, incomplete or irrelevant information, or fails to submit certain information, or submits information belatedly. 5. If the BVBA is explicitly charged therewith, the checking of the bookkeeping will involve sample monitoring rather than systematic monitoring of all documents and accounting evidence. Where appropriate, the BVBA will report errors relating to VAT to the client.However, the BVBA will not undertake any audit obligation. The absence of comments on the part of the BVBA does not guarantee either the correctnessor the accuracy of the documents drawn up or the transactions carried out by the client.6. The BVBA cannot be held liable for the consequences of professional shortcomings, mistakes, material errors or offences committed by any other party before the collaboration with the client began.7. BVBA STUYTS ACCOUNTING SERVICES, as well as its agent(s) or employee(s), is bound by professional secrecy, in accordance with article 58 of the law of 22 April 1999 relating to accounting and fiscal professions and article 32 of the Royal Decree of 1 March 1998 to determine the ethics regulations for accountants, however subject to application of the provisions of the law of 18 September 2017 to prevent money-laundering and the financing of terrorism and to limit the use of cash, its implementing decisions and those of the law of 11 January 1993 to prevent the use of the financial system for money-laundering and financing terrorism, in as far as the contents do not conflict with the aforementioned law of 18 September 2017. 8. In accordance with article 33 of the Law of 22 April 1999 relating to the accounting and fiscal professions, the BVBA has insured its civil liability through a policy that has been approved by the Board of the Institute of Accountants and Tax Consultants. If, for whatever reason, the insurance company does not intercede in whole or in part, the compensation that needs to be borne by the BVBA will never exceed the sum of 750 euros.The previously mentioned limitation will also be applicable to all judgements made in respect of the task that are directed against all persons, partners, directors and/or independent self-employed associates who are regarded as insured parties in the sense of the aforementioned insurance policy.If it becomes apparent that two or more damage claims result from one and the same error, they will be regarded as a single instance of liability and this liability will be limited to the highest sum of the amounts applicable to the task(s) and/or agreement concerned.Unless there are obligatory legal provisions to the contrary, damage resulting from (a) loss of income, goodwill, trading opportunities or expected savings or benefits, (b) the loss or damage of data, or (c) indirect loss or damage will give no right to compensation.9. The BVBA has the right to invoice for advance payments against its honoraria as the assignment progresses,in accordance with the amount of work that has already been performed.10. When calculating the fee per hour for the work performed, account will be taken of the level of professional specialization and the experience of the account manager performing the work. The level of urgency of the work can also be taken into account for this calculation.11. In addition to payment for the work performed, all other specific costs will be charged to the client.12. All disputes relating to costs and fees must be notified and substantiated within 8 days from the date of invoice by registered letter to the BVBA. If no notification of dispute is received by the BVBA within this 8-day period, it will be assumed that the client is in agreement with the invoiced services.13. All invoices are payable in Bruges (Sint-Michiels) within 30 days of the invoice date. All invoices remaining unpaid on the expiry date will be liable by law and without further notification to the payment of interest calculated at the legal rate, increased by 15% and with a minimum amount of 250 euros in respect of conventional compensation, which is also immediately due without the need for prior notification.The parties explicitly agree to waive the application of article1231 of the Civil Code.14. The non-payment of an invoice by an expiry date makes the payment of the outstanding balances on all other invoices, even those that have not yet expired, legally and immediately due.15. The BVBA is entitled to suspend assignments in progress, or not to complete them fully, or to regard them as having expired in the event of non-compliance with the conditions of payment or in the event of non-payment by the stipulated expiry date.16. The interpretation and implementation of the agreement is governed by Belgian law and by the applicable deontology.17. The parties will preferably settle any disputes arising from the interpretation and implementation of the agreement by mutual agreement. Both parties are obliged to notify their grievances in writing and in advance, with a view to facilitating such a mutual agreement. 18. Notwithstanding the possibility of reaching a mutual agreement, every dispute of whatever kind will fall within the jurisdiction of the courts and tribunals of the legal district of Bruges.19. The above general conditions are applicable on all assignments, even those involving subscription, unless protest is received within 8 days of first receipt.

Walter Scott Shooting Highlights Cops' Contempt for the Right to Record Police
The illegal harassment of camera-carrying bystanders needs to stop.
Even before it became clear that Feidin Santana was witnessing what local authorities now describe as a murder, it took guts for him to record the police encounter that ended in Walter Scott's death. Santana, who was walking to work at a barbershop in North Charleston, South Carolina, the day before Easter, risked illegal retaliation by camera-shy cops the moment he stopped talking on his smartphone and started using it to capture Scott's interaction with patrolman Michael Slager.
Although the First Amendment right to record the police as they perform their duties in public is well established, cops often violate that right by ordering people to turn off their cameras, confiscating their cellphones, or arresting them on trumped-up charges. The shooting of Walter Scott, which last week led to Slager's arrest thanks to the details revealed by Santana's video, illustrates both the prevalence of this contempt for constitutional rights and the importance of counteracting it.
After Scott fell to the ground, struck by five of the eight rounds that Slager fired at him as he fled a traffic stop, Santana continued recording. "One of the officers told me to stop," Santana told CNN. "It was because I say to them that what they did, it was an abuse, and I witnessed everything."
The New York Times reports that when Scott's older brother, Anthony, arrived at the crime scene and took pictures of the body, three officers "surrounded him, telling him to turn over his phone." He gave it to them. "Hours later," the Times says, North Charleston Police Chief Eddie Driggers "arrived, returned Mr. Scott's phone and offered his condolences."
As Driggers seemed to recognize, there is no legal basis for such interference with camera-carrying bystanders. The right to record police has been explicitly upheld by at least four federal appeals courts—in the 1st, 7th, 9th, and 11th circuits—and implicitly recognized by others.
Federal judges outside of those four circuits have ruled that the right to record flows logically from the First Amendment right to gather information and that it applies equally to everyone, not just credentialed journalists. Big-city police chiefs take it for granted that "members of the public are legally allowed to record police interactions," as a 2014 NYPD memo put it, and that "a bystander has the same right to take photographs or make recordings as a member of the media," as Washington, D.C., Police Chief Cathy Lanier informed her officers in 2012.
The behavior of North Charleston police after the shooting of Walter Scott suggests why such memos are necessary. So do the actions of the officers who arrested Austin, Texas, activist Antonio Buehler three times in 2012 for daring to record police encounters.
Last July, responding to a lawsuit filed by Buehler, a federal judge ruled that the right he was exercising is well enough established that police cannot rely on qualified immunity to escape liability for violating it. U.S. Magistrate Judge Mark Lane cited "a robust consensus of circuit courts" that "the First Amendment encompasses a right to record public officials as they perform their official duties."
Even the threat of personal liability may not be enough to deter cops from harassing people who record them, since taxpayers typically pick up the tab when cities settle lawsuits arising from such incidents. Last year, for instance, New York City paid $125,000 to settle a lawsuit brought by Brooklyn resident Dick George, who said police roughed him up and arrested him for disorderly conduct after he recorded a stop-and-frisk encounter in 2012.
According to George's complaint, one of the cops said, "Now we are going to give you what you deserve for meddling in our business, and when we finish with you, you can sue the city for $5 million and get rich. We don't care."
Anthony Scott encountered a similar attitude when the cops took his cellphone. "It was eerie how they were acting," he told the Times. "They were cocky."

I find it hard to believe they're that self-aware.
Do you find it hard to believe that they are that contemptuous of the public? I don't.
Cops know exactly what they are doing. They use their positions to intimidate citizens on a daily basis. After a while it is simply the habit of thugs.
This seems to be true not only of the actual thugs with badges, but of the entire so-called criminal justice system in this country. Consider news of the 400 individuals who have been incarcerated at Rikers Island for a year or longer (some notoriously for several years) without a trial, and think, for example, of the nation's leading "criminal satire" case, where the intimidation seems to have continued now (albeit so far without actual implementation of the decreed incarceration) for six years, if we are to believe the documentation gathered at:
The worst, however, is that we simply become used to these things and end up ignoring them. Only the "dramatic" cases catch our attention; anything else is just another little injustice that's not really worthy of our attention. And, of course, the thugs rely on our indifference, thereby reinforcing their sense (or indeed knowledge) of impunity. Habit is the greatest social evil, on all levels.
"You can beat the rap but you can't beat the ride", just in different words, ad nauseam.
Walter Scott Shooting Highlights Cops' Contempt for the
Right to Record PolicePeople
For those of us who have a smart phone but aren't too savvy, what is a good app that will send your video off in real time so that even if the cops get ahold of your phone they can't delete it? No iPhone.
Look up Bambuser. Free and it does exactly that.
Thanks, I'll give it a shot.
I think this will be the common way to do things before long.
If all you're doing is "sending" video to a website, would it be truthful to tell a cop "no" when he asks you if you're "recording?"
It would be the least untruthful response.
If all you're doing is "sending" video to a website, would it be truthful to tell a cop "no" when he asks you if you're "recording?
No, because you are recording. You are simply sending the video to a website. Don't ever lie to the cops, better to say nothing.
I agree. And I would think telling the cop it was streaming live might actually give them a moment's pause, and save your life.
Libertarian, I agree that you shouldn't lie, and would suggest if you say anything you consider calmly stating "I respectfully decline to answer questions." as often as necessary after, perhaps, saying what Atanarjuat suggested:
"And I would think telling the cop it was streaming live might actually give them a moment's pause, and save your life."
Can also play their game back by continuing to ask:
"Am I free to go?"
"Am I being detained?"
You are better off not to answer at all, but if you must, answer with a question, "Is it illegal to record you?" If the cop lies on video that is even more evidence of their contempt for us and the law.
The ACLU has one, designed specifically for this kind of shit. As a bonus, you probably have better legal protection for your video too.
A case recently went through the courts around here where the cops illegally arrested a couple for recording their harassment of a young woman.
The city settled while admitting no wrongdoing, basically saying the couple got what they deserved for not doing as they were told.
According to the city and the police department, all orders from the police are lawful because of the mouth they are coming out of. Do as you are told or we're going to fuck you up. We may pay you a settlement later, but at the time an officer gives an order, it's lawful even if it's not. And nothing else will happen.
So much for rule of law.
The "process" is the penalty.
You know who else flouted citizens' rights....
Rosa Parks?
Julius Caesar?
Mad Max?
George III?
Gordon Ramsey?
Umm, Scar from Lion King?
Jesus Christ?
If one says Lincoln, one must be a "Neo-confederate wanker" according to Cytotoxic dump and Anonymous Coward.

Qualified immunity needs to be trimmed back, but that is going to be a long, slow fight if it happens at all. I have to say, I'd love to see established a legal standard whereby if a video of an event has been deleted or mysteriously disappeared, the police are presumed to be lying about it until proven otherwise.
Again, not going to happen soon, if ever.
When I was small, it was common in certain "hip" circles to refer to police as pigs. It find it sad that the trend these days seems to be to live down to that stereotype.
It needs to be ended and all cops need to carry insurance,like other 'professions' .You know doctors an barbers,ect,
Payouts for police misconduct should come from the police pension fund. Public contributions for said fund should be barred from being increased beyond inflation.
It isn't going to happen because it isn't just the cops who flout the law, it is the entire legal system - cops, prosecutors, and judges. They are all crooked which is why I don't care when people kill any of them. My first reaction is that it is self defense and the "officials" deserved it. And a guilty verdict from a kangaroo court against the person defending themselves won't change my mind.
You may think that's an extreme position, but there is mounting evidence that it is not. A drunken off duty Bedford, NH cop ran down two kids a couple of years ago and it took multiple instances of public outrage to get him convicted and jailed because the prosecutors and judges kept letting him off or out of jail. And then there is this: http://www.wwltv.com/story/new...../24039559/
And if you search the internet, there are hundreds more reports of how legal officials abuse and break the law and are let off every day. That they should they get away with murder (literally) while we suffer under the yoke is something I no longer accept. Fuck them and fuck all the government and everyone in it. They truly are nothing more than a mafia.
Mafia has the moral high ground over government. . . if the Mafia says you'll get protection for your money - by the gods, you get protection.
The Mafia, for the most part, has honor - it may not be the kind of honor you believe in, but it is honor - government agents have no honor.
Comparing government to the Mafia is an insult - to Mafiosi everywhere. . .
I know of many incidents where civilians have murdered people. Does that mean all civilians are murderers and should be killed? I'm no fan of cops in general, but your logic is a tad off.
I have been told by former L.E.O's on CNN that these are isolated instances. Just a few bad cops like the 10 or 12 who beat the horse guy.BTY,Scott stop did not follow the law.He was stopped due to one of three brake lights out..Two worked and by NC law only one is needed.He should have never been stopped.
"Two worked and by NC law only one is needed.He should have never been stopped."
If this is true I hope ex-officer Slager gets the maximum penalty.
That's from the Simple Justice blog by Scott Greenfield.
No, some Supreme Court already ruled the cop's ignorance of the law was a very dandy excuse. See, he wasn't a civilian, thus was expected to be ignorant. In fact, polce departments screen away the self-aware and intelligent for that very reason.
Isn't North Charleston in SOUTH Carolina? Maybe they have same laws but I'm pretty sure tail lights problems aren't a capital offense.
What stuns me was the failure to offer any medical treatment, then lying about it in the official report. Any uninvolved person who ignored a seriously injured police officer as he bled to death would be charged with murder just like they pulled the trigger.
If a video tape emerged that showed the passerby was increasing the bleed-out rate by jumping on him, and obstructing the breathing while screaming "F- your breath, you f-king run, you die", the passerby would be shot on sight and shown to be a major drug kingpin with a strong interest in Kiddie-porn.
The most chilling thing is how calmly they watch a man die, and how easily they cover it up.
Yes it is South,he talked about the laws there
Harassment of camera-weilding citizens by police will continue until police stop abusing the rights of other citizens. In other words, harassment of camera-weilding citizens by police will continue.
The New York Times reports that when Scott's older brother, Anthony, arrived at the crime scene and took pictures of the body, three officers "surrounded him, telling him to turn over his phone." He gave it to them. "Hours later," the Times says, North Charleston Police Chief Eddie Driggers "arrived, returned Mr. Scott's phone and offered his condolences."
* * * * *
Depending on where he was in relation to the body and what was going on in terms of the investigation, I can easily understand surrounding him and making him leave the area.
Leave the area?If he was behind the yellow tape he was fine.Also,if other officers lied on the reports ,as may be the case, I would not give the cops a pass..Hell,at this point I do not believe any thing a'agent of the state' says..
Take the settlements out of the cops' pensions instead of putting the taxpayers on the hook, and we'll see a dramatic change as to how much the cops care.
No, the next bargaining point will replenish the pension plan.
So police can rely on qualified immunity for violating laws that are only "kind of" established? WTF
A Carlos Miller runs a website on the specific issue of filming police:
It is becoming quite clear that filming cops is quite dangerous. Which really means it's quite necessary. These people have been getting away with lawless behavior for far too long.
And anyone that believes that nonsense that it's only a few is delusional. This problem is rampant.
I get paid over $87 per hour working from home with 2 kids at home. I never thought I'd be able to do it but my best friend earns over 10k a month doing this and she convinced me to try. The potential with this is endless. Heres what I've been doing,
------------- www.work-cash.com
You want to make it stop?
Penalize civil-rights violations under color of authority as capital crimes.
When a cop faces a firing squad for arresting someone for taking his picture, it will end.
Pardon me for so noting, but re abuses by police, the courts bear a LARGE PORTION of responsibility.
This freak needs to have "ex-cop" tattooed on his forehead and be put in general population.
Google pay 97$ per hour my last pay check was $8500 working 1o hours a week online. My younger brother friend has been averaging 12k for months now and he works about 22 hours a week. I cant believe how easy it was once I tried it out.
This is wha- I do...... ✹✹✹✹✹✹ www.netjob80.com
I just spent 30 minutes on my comment and when I clicked "preview" it disappeared. What the hell?
Happens to me all the fucking time.
::grumble grumble squirrels grumble::
Cops know the law and violate it routinely. What is the penalty? The maximum is: The chief puts out another "memo" and the abuse continues.
Without the video of the murder nothing would have happened. Even with a conviction, when a little time goes by, the sentence may be commuted and go unreported by the main stream lapdogs.
The lesson should be clear: We must protect ourselves, especially from our "protectors". Why is there so much blind faith in government?

(old) How to level up fast
This tutorial is useless :(
1. Bot
I recommend you use a tesla hover with plasma as a backup weapon, if you do not have any good tesla hovers you can buy Thief from the CRF (search LordForce) and add a radar on the bot so that you can see the enemies on the map.
2. Killing
It kan be boring to kill hundreds of enemies so make sure you have a bot that you like to play with.
3. "Level up"
When you exit the singleplayer mode you will get the loot and it will show how much CPU you have after the levelup, while you are in the battle the signs will show up faster than you get levels, if it shows that you have got 4 levels you have only got 2.
4. Repeat
You need to do the same thing again and again...

❏ Fill Out Your Apartment Condition Report
Upon arrival, you will be asked to log into your tenant account and fill out the apartment condition report. This report is designed to protect the resident by requiring the tenant to validate the condition of the unit based on the Condition Report. If the tenant fails to validate the report within three (3) days of the arrival date, Housing will accept that the unit is in good condition and the resident becomes responsible for any damage or missing items (for furnished units) after the move-in date.
❏ Fire Safety
The University of California provides a fire safety training program for those who reside in campus housing at all UC campuses. It is important that you know what to do in the event of a fire. Please review the UCSF Housing Fire & Life Safety Training for Housing tenants.
❏ Electric
Appliances and heat in your apartment are powered by electricity. The electricity service is provided by PG&E. Housing Services does not pay for electricity unless otherwise noted (electricity is included in the rental rates for non-faculty Avenue Housing, Mission Bay shared 4-bedroom apartments and 145 Irving).

Tenants will be assessed an administrative fee of $40 for each month that PG&E is not set up in their name.

Many areas of San Francisco receive excellent HDTV Antenna signals, allowing you to receive many, multi-lingual television channels. A lot of tenants enjoy movies and series by streaming via internet or wifi.
Please note that our buildings are not equipped for antennae or personal satellite dishes. Please be aware that any alteration (i.e. attaching a cable to your walls) to your apartment during cable installation is in violation of the Housing Agreement and you will be held responsible for any necessary repairs upon move out. Housing Services will not sign a Landlord's Agreement allowing any cable company to make such changes.
Aldea San Miguel and Mission Bay tenants must check out a temporary key from the Housing Office to the building's utility room for their service provider to access the building's utility room. Cable installation must be scheduled during normal business hours (Monday through Friday, 8am-5pm), so we may allow the contractor access to the building and telephone/data room. Please pick up the utility key prior to your cable installation appointment.
Aldea San Miguel and Mission Bay tenants must check out a temporary key from the Housing Office to the building's utility room for their service provider to access the building's utility room.

Many tenants use AT&T or Comcast because the buildings are already equipped with wired infrastructure. You may not mount antennas or satellite dishes to the exterior of buildings. You may connect your own wireless routers and airports to your computers' hardware. Many tenants choose to go to the courtyard of the Aldea Center (155 Johnstone Drive) or to the Kalmanovitz Library (530 Parnassus Avenue) for wireless internet access using the UCSFguest unsecured network (note that rent payments cannot be made using an unsecured network).
Avenues Houses
Wifi internet service is often available in some areas of the Avenues Houses at no additional cost. Some tenants prefer to contract for their own services from a private internet provider. Signal strength varies throughout the properties and may be stronger in some rooms than in others.
145 Irving Street & Mission Bay
Your apartment is already equipped with university Ethernet service via wireless and a data port. Just plug your computer into the jack, or locate your wireless signal, and begin!

- The City of San Francisco encourages everyone to compost as much as possible. If your compost bin stinks, put it in the fridge! It really helps!

The UK violates women's human rights by criminalising abortions in Northern Ireland, a UN committee has said.
Northern Ireland only allows abortion where there is a serious threat to a woman's health. But the UN Committee on the Elimination of Discrimination Against Women (CEDAW) has now found this causes great harm to women forced to carry unwanted abortions to full term.
It said: "The systematic nature of the violations stems from the deliberate retention of criminal laws and state policy disproportionately restricting access to sexual and reproductive rights, in general, and highly restrictive abortion provision, in particular."
Grainne Teggart of Amnesty welcomed the report.
"This damning report from the United Nations confirms what Amnesty has long said – Northern Ireland's draconian abortion laws are a daily violation of the right of women and girls," she said.
"We call on the UK government to introduce abortion reform legislation at Westminster without any further delay."
But Nola Leach, chief executive of Christian lobbying charity CARE, noted that the Belfast Court of Appeal last year ruled Northern Ireland's abortion law is not incompatible with the European Convention of Human Rights.
"The Northern "CEDAW has no legal status and only provides advisory opinions.
"They have consistently failed over the years to recognise there are two lives involved when considering the sensitive subject of abortion."

Seeking a Mechanism for the Toxicity of Oligomeric α-Synuclein
Department of Biology and Biochemistry, University of Bath, Claverton Down, Bath BA2 7AY, UK

(This article belongs to the Special Issue Exploring the Mechanisms by which α-Synuclein Kills Cells in Parkinson Disease)
AbstractIn a number of neurological diseases including Parkinson's disease (PD), α‑synuclein is aberrantly folded, forming abnormal oligomers, and amyloid fibrils within nerve cells. Strong evidence exists for the toxicity of increased production and aggregation of α-synuclein in vivo. The toxicity of α-synuclein is popularly attributed to the formation of "toxic oligomers": a heterogenous and poorly characterized group of conformers that may share common molecular features. This review presents the available evidence on the properties of α-synuclein oligomers and the potential molecular mechanisms of their cellular disruption. Toxic α-synuclein oligomers may impact cells in a number of ways, including the disruption of membranes, mitochondrial depolarization, cytoskeleton changes, impairment of protein clearance pathways, and enhanced oxidative stress. We also examine the relationship between α-synuclein toxic oligomers and amyloid fibrils, in the light of recent studies that paint a more complex picture of α-synuclein toxicity. Finally, methods of studying and manipulating oligomers within cells are described. View Full-Text
