Now they jump in and intervene to play the role of hero, begging the question: why not sooner?
Rhetorically, the answer implied is that, had they made their voices and opinions known earlier, it might not have seemed as heroic as it does now. Letting circumstances become dire, when they could have been prevented altogether suggests performances are crafted and dishonest for the purpose of branding, marketing or personal fame.
Sort of like if John McAfee reared his head right about now, but with greater subtlety.
I don't feel that the second paragraph is realistic. But where to start in explaining why?
Cop life is so complex that a weekly home economics shift isn't going to repair relationships, normalize psyches or adjust attitudes.
There's a depth of behavioral psychology to this problem that extends well beyond imagining a one-size-fits all therapy plan.
This can't be approached from the perspective of an outsider's view of what plays well to the public concept of what ordinary people imagine about police.
I agree. That particular horizon figure is the only one I know off the top of my head, due to reading up on naval ballistics. Hence the remark about sea level.
Anything else requires some napkin math about the circumfrence of the earth and radial offsets for non-sea-level terrain, combine with a bit of triangulation, to estimate skyline impact. Then, heaped on top is the effects of local topography contours and relative relationships with other human structures.
Huge horizontal buildings would be pretty neat if they used high-speed express tramways in a manner similar to elevators, but only provided walk-up access to maybe 5 floors, maximum.
I guess that's a large building to enter and experience as a human space, but how does it affect the skyline?
If the horizon crests at ~25 miles at sea level here on earth, what's the distance from which it can be seen. I think that's a relevant measure for the effect of a building on its surrounding community.
Animals don't exactly have the same willpower and reputation requirements that one finds in typically civilized human social order.
If animals have rape, it's a subset of human-on-human rape, and carries fewer of the nuanced consequences of rape among humans.
Psychological trauma is probably not even in the equation when it comes to rape among most animals below a certain level of intelligence, particularly when considering untamed animals.
Due to the minimal psychological aspects, which assuredly are a hallmark of human-on-human rape, and the bald fact that the very word "rape" itself carries loaded connotations when considered as a concept by humans, I wonder if it is appropriate to use the same word for variations of sexual intercourse and related behavior among wild animals.
