  • MT @7News: Steve Cooper: Source: Hostage negotiator talked suspect out of boat, was handcuffed. Blood on him was from earlier firefighter. 00:58:24
  • MT @natsecHeather OK, lets get this clear. Enemy combatants have training & affiliations that US at war with. 19yo killer punks not so much” 00:59:49
  • RT @mckaycoppins: Really relieved that we didn't all have to watch a teenager — however evil — get killed on live TV. 01:01:08

  • OK. That's it. Time to go home and maybe go to sleep. 01:14:46
  • “Serious but not life threatening” as per CNN. 02:17:14
  • Saddened that they are using the public safety exception to Miranda. Esp since saying danger over. Seems unnecessary and counterproductive. 02:19:55
  • MT @MileHighBecky: @abulsme Bright side is that more people are aware he's missing and know what he looks like. Maybe it'll help find him. 03:37:10
  • Cause that was a good idea :-/ -> Reading – Atomic bomb re-enacting dropped from Dayton air show (Dan Sewell) http://t.co/RwRdbYvfDm 15:09:20

  • MT @AliAbunimah: NPR says this is "first act of terrorism since 9/11" as if white supremacist didn't murder 6 at Sikh Temple last August. 17:29:18
  • 121 PCOs out of 368 eligible here for meeting. No quorum. 8 people short. Does this mean we go home? 17:33:43
  • Make that 4 short. A few people hadn't signed in yet, but not enough. Guess this means other business, but no binding votes? 17:34:27
  • RT @BYUfan: @abulsme I was planning to by there are too many kids activities today. I expect live tweeting from you :-) 17:36:20
  • .@BYUfan Probably not a whole lot. Maybe a couple things. We'll see. :-) in reply to BYUfan 17:37:16

  • Reading – Watertown Police Chief’s Epic Minute-By-Minute Account Of Deadly Manhunt (Benjy Sarlin) http://t.co/zsbGrJy25U 18:16:43
  • Break time. Considering bugging out. No quorum, so no votes on anything. I gather there will be some county council candidates speaking. 18:53:48
  • Maybe I will stay for that. But so far at these things, most folks I have heard speak have just convinced me I should never vote for them. 18:54:36
  • To be fair, when I attended Democratic events in 2008 and 2009, I was left with the same impression. And note I said "most" not "all". 18:55:39
  • But rabid partisanship and the inability to see that the other side is not the enemy and often has good points too turn me off quite fast. 18:57:44
  • And of course at partisan events, that is what you see, almost exclusively. No "courting of the middle" at these kinds of things! 18:58:36
  • BTW, the speaker with the Star Wars reference earlier was Elizabeth Scott: http://t.co/mfCZdx9d6k 19:00:54
  • RT @mattyglesias: Genuine question: How many people are unaware of their right to remain silent? Hasn’t everyone seen Law & Order? 19:01:37
  • Guess I will take that back. Jim Upton, considering sheriff run. Short statements on local police issues. No partisan red meat at all. Good. 19:26:09
  • Sheriff is one of those offices I don't really think should be an elective office though. 19:27:11
  • MT @ggreenwald: @mattyglesias A lot of people are unaware, but duress of arrest inherently coercive – it's vital even when just a reminder. 19:29:52

  • MT @gerrycanavan: They'd never allow someone like this to get off on a technicality; just argue it away. Law is power, not indep of power. 19:54:47
  • RT @gerrycanavan: To say that another away: the risk of not Mirandizing him is weakening Miranda, not putting this prosecution at risk. 19:54:54

  • Council district cand who hasn't said his name also fairly laid back talking local road issues and such instead of partisan red meat. Good. 21:05:31
  • Finally had name mentioned and a campaign poster put up. Chris Vallo. URL on his poster has nothing there: http://t.co/51keX7N7ca 21:26:21
