Like other plaintiffs talked to by THE CITY, Baez said she never filed a formal complaint while she was locked up because she was “scared, alone, and I had no one.”

“I thought people would judge me and say I liked it,” she said, “and that’s why it kept happening.”

While she was in Rikers, she began to believe that’s what God intended to happen to her.

“I started to believe that this is part of my life,” she said, “to be raped and used like a sex slave.”

She was sitting in her car before dawn last month when a uniformed police officer in Las Cruces, New Mexico, accused her and her passenger of trespassing, then shouted commands laced with the F-word at her and threatened to arrest her, “tase” her and make her life “a living hell” if she didn’t comply with his plan to investigate.

Police in South Carolina are investigating an incident involving a vehicle that drove through security fences at a nuclear power station on Thursday.

The last time she’d seen her middle child, Dexter Wade, 37, was on the night of March 5, as he left home with a friend. She reported him missing, and Jackson police told her they’d been unable to find him, she said.

It wasn’t until 172 excruciating days after his disappearance that Bettersten learned the truth: Dexter had been killed less than an hour after he’d left home, struck by a Jackson police car as he crossed a nearby interstate highway. Police had known Dexter’s name, and hers, but failed to contact her, instead letting his body go unclaimed for months in the county morgue.

Now it was early October, and Bettersten had finally been told where she could find her son.

They bounced down the road and curved into the woods, crawling past clearings where rows of small signs jutted from the earth, each marked with a number.

“Listen to Elijah’s words,” prosecutor Jonathan Bunge said as police body camera video was played. “When Elijah is on the ground handcuffed, he’s saying over and over and over again, ‘I can’t breathe. Please help me.’”

But instead of helping him, Bunge said, Aurora Police Officer Randy Roedema and his former colleague, Jason Rosenblatt, ignored McClain's pleas for help and told arriving paramedics that he had been resisting and had "crazy strength."

Then the paramedics gave McClain a sedative "as he was drifting closer and closer to death," Bunge said in Adams County District Court.

My understanding is that the imgur thing is imgur's fault, but until the image upload functionality is working I don't really know what the best choice is.

I have a Leopold FC660C which is my primary keyboard at home.

I bought it lightly used several years back. It is bone stock, and I'm every bit as big a Topre fanboy as anyone you have ever met since owning it. (It prompted me to get a 980C and 104 key Realforce also)

I consider the FC660C and 980C my endgame boards, as new purchases stopped in their tracks after that, BUT:

The mini-usb port on the FC660C is a little bit wonky. I don't think the port itself is loose, I think there's a pin within it that's slightly out of whack. I often have to plug and unplug it several times before I can get it to receive power and work, independently of what system I'm plugging it into or what cable I use.

Are there reasonable mods out there (either to do myself or pay a reasonable fee for someone to do) which could accomplish one or the other of these:

• Replace with USB-C
• Add wireless capability

I learned awhile ago that folks often replace the controller boards, but I don't know the full spectrum of likely options, nor whether that is overkill to just get a properly functioning port.

I'm also open to just having the mini-usb port replaced, but I figure if I'm going that route I may as well modernize it a bit.

Any thoughts or opinions?

I have never played another FPS that had a mode like this, and it was so damn fun and self-balancing.

Having said that, I don't have the time to game nearly as much as I once did, so I have missed plenty of modern titles, even big ones.

Is there anything still being played that has a mode like this?

From the link, emphasis added:

Nash Werner of GamePro said of the PC version, "With its well-written storyline and thought-provoking missions, SoF's singleplayer will keep you thrilled for hours, and you'll probably be playing the Assassin mode for months.

Edited to describe it: (from memory)

In this mode, it's a lot like Deathmatch mode, except each player is assigned a target. You can only shoot your target or the person who is targeting you. You advance up the rankings by killing your target.

The genius of the mode is that the more you are dominating, the more people will respawn with you as their assigned target. So pro player on the server is going to have essentially every other person on the server trying to kill just them very quickly, while a noob is never going to be targeted by more than one person. If you are having a day where you've really hit your A game, it's very, very satisfying, but it's still fun if you aren't having a great session.

This is happening dynamically throughout the match as people respawn, so it's very fluid, and the balance shifts during the game continuously to keep it fun for everyone.
