    Old Man got a reaction from Opal in Character concepts class systems can't cover   
    I'm in a 5e campaign now.  Got my paladin up to 6th level before I picked up a PHB (Amazon had a 50% off sale).  I then realized I have no flippin' idea how to play D&D. 
     
    But yeah, not only is it class based, the classes are wack.  Although bards and monks are still OP so that's the same.

    Opinions vary, but I think we should absolutely be shocked when a nonthreatening child with “no choice” gets killed by a cop. And I am interested in systemic changes to prevent incidents like this from happening again.  I can’t settle for “well, that’s the situation”.  
     
    Can somebody remind me again what heinous crime Toledo was suspected of that kicked off the pursuit in the first place?

    Children do stupid things, much like I did when I was that age.  One of the people here is a trained, armed, and armored cop.  One is a child.  As the owner of a thirteen-year-old, I feel like we can do better than expecting stupid children to somehow not be stupid.

    I may have missed the part where the victim was a violent criminal.  Did he shoot someone?  Did he shoot at someone?  Is it remotely possible that gunshot residue could have come from another firearm, one that was pointed directly at him from ten feet away when it was fired?
     
    I understand that interpretations vary, even when things are on video, but this is what I saw:
     
    Cop: "Stop!  Drop the gun!"
     
    Kid: stops, drops the gun
     
    Cop: shoots
     
    Kid: dies

    I still prefer Football Team. It’s ironic and hilarious. That team went from having the worst name to the best. 
     
    I find most of the other suggestions in the list to be uninspired, though the Football Club ones are amusing. DC cries out for a team name like Revolutionaries or Privateers. I’d especially like them to be called the Conspirators, but that may be too accurate.
