Do you recognize this ghastly ideological mix, this monstrous model? Or do you recognize yourself in it and like it? Is it happening to us here in the South too? If so what are you doing about it? I know what I am doing or trying to do, and always have done.
When this chemistry takes place and model arises or is revived in the North, it is applauded or swept under the rug by Northern nationalists and Southern liberals in political parties and civil society. When this fanatical fusion came alive in the North, politicians and civil society excused them as "our boys" and now, "our girls". It is happening again today. Meanwhile Southern nationalists condemn this phenomenon in the North, but applaud, appease, ignore or excuse the same phenomenon in the South, using the same argumentation that they do in the North. The South can see Northern fascism and the North can see Southern fascism. Each is blind to the fascism in its own part of the island, hidden behind its respective populist-nationalist disguise.
The truth is that Prabhakaran was a Northern Hitler while Hitler was a global Prabhakaran. The Tigers were the Northern Nazis, the Nazis were the global Tigers. It is and was only a matter of scale. Prabhakaran was the most evil leader this island's history produced, while Hitler was the most evil leader world history ever produced.
I agree totally with the conclusion of one of my few living intellectual heroes, Emeritus Professor Richard Falk of Princeton and the University of California, Santa Barbara, former UN Special Rapporteur on Occupied Palestine, who concludes his latest interview saying: "…I feel it is not too alarmist or misleading to talk of the present era of American political life as 'pre-fascist', posing the formidable challenge of reversing the political current in the country as rapidly as possible to avoid any transition from pre-fascism to fascism…" (Wider Consequences of US Withdrawal from the UN Human Rights Council, Truth Out July 3rd 2018.
I believe that what Richard says of "the present era of American political life", applies even more strongly to the present era of Sri Lankan political life, in both North and South: the present situation is one of "pre-fascism" and the challenge is to fight off the danger of the transition from pre-fascism to fascism. I say it applies even more strongly because the US and India have the framework of a strong enlightened Constitution and institutions which ensure a true separation of powers, with guarantees and firewalls. We Sri Lankans do not have anything resembling the same measure of Constitutional protection and the chance for Constitutional change has vanished due to adventurist Northern demands in and out of parliament and the Northern Provincial Council. Having failed to prevent the rise of pre-fascism in the North and South, the elite neoliberal Establishment and its supportive NGO propagandists having actually contributed to it by pushing public tolerance to the brink, we are far more vulnerable to fascism and less able to prevent the transition from pre-fascism to fascism.
Some of us fought the battle of ideas against Tiger fascism and Southern Pol Potism and rebelled against rightist authoritarianism in the 1980s. I did. Most in civil society did not. Today I fight the battle of ideas against the rise of the fascist-flecked Alt-Right in the South as well as against the 'heroization' if not deification of suicide-bombing terrorism and fascism in the North. Civil society either fight one battle or the other or none. It also denounces those like me who fight fascist ideology whether it comes from North or South, because to me, fascism is fascism and is plain wrong, plain evil, whoever and wherever it comes from.
The week that the civil society petitioners called for the rejection of my nomination as ambassador, a personality from the opposite end of the spectrum, Rear Admiral Sarath Weerasekara, former head of the Civil Defence Force (CDF) told the Irida Lakbima that I wasn't fit for the post of a "peon" in an embassy. He is a GLSF star at the Geneva sessions and a paper presenter at the Foreign Policy workshop of the recent Viyath Maga daylong session at the Shangri-La which served as an Alt-Right coming-out ball. What roused his ire was my support for the implementation of the 13th amendment. So, the neoliberal civil society activists criticize me because I oppose a move beyond the 13th amendment and the unitary state towards federalism, while Sinhala ultranationalists ex-military brass denounce me because I'm for devolution within a unitary state (13A).
On the morning after the UNHRC vote in which Sri Lanka won 29-12, I was criticized from these same two quarters. The civil society neoliberals denounced me for preventing an inquiry into accountability for alleged war crimes, while Dr. Gunadasa Amarasekara criticized me for a reference to the Presidential promise to " proceed with the implementation of the 13th amendment" in our victorious Resolution. Thus do the extremes mirror each other; complement each other.
The so-called civil society petition against my designation as Sri Lanka's ambassador to Russia does not provoke me into a personal defense of my record. With my performance in Geneva being mentioned in The Economist (UK), The Times (UK) and dealt with in (non-Sri Lankan) PhD theses, post-doctoral monographs, academic journal contributions and book chapters, sufficient to comprise a modest bibliography, the local "civil society" charges against me only make me smile and shrug.
What the petition does though is make me look critically at the civil society phenomenon in Sri Lanka today.
There isn't one civil society in Sri Lanka. There are three. There used to be four, but one has died out and there are three. Two of the three civil societies are the polar opposite of each other and constitute extremes. The only thing all three have in common is that they dislike me intensely and manifest that dislike on the record. This tells me I am staying pretty much on the (or a) Middle path or occupying a centrist space.
What are the three contending civil societies that exist? Which is the one that has disappeared? The one that petitioned against me could be politely called pro-Western liberal cosmopolitan civil society. In concrete terms, going by the textual evidence, they all support the 2015 Geneva Resolution. Their civil society rival could be designated Sinhala ultranationalist civil society. The third is the Tamil equivalent of the latter, broadly sympathetic to Tamil Eelam and even to the LTTE.
The first category is perhaps best identified with Dr. Pakiyasothy Saravanamuttu and the CPA, both signatories to the petition against me. The second is best identified with Dr. Gunadasa Amarasekara. As for the third, I wouldn't quite know whom to name as the most prominent. All three civil societies have their respective Diaspora supporters and bases. In the case of the first, these are on the faculty or student body, or are alumni of Western universities. In the case of the second it is the Global Sri Lanka Forum (GSLF) and its recent breakaway. In the case of the third it is the 'Great Heroes Day' commemorating Tamil Diaspora, represented by the TGTE.
There is an interface and overlap between the first civil society category and a milder variant of the third, represented by the British Tamil Forum/Global Tamil Forum (BTF/GTF).
It is not that the liberal cosmopolitan civil society is consistently pro-UNP. When the UNP had its most progressive leadership, explicitly committed to a multiethnic, multi-lingual, multi-religious, multicultural i.e. pluralist Sri Lanka, i.e. that of President Premadasa, most of today's civil society liberals did not support him and indeed stood actively opposed when he was besieged by a combination of the old UNP establishment, the ultranationalists and the center-left Opposition. I stood with him and almost paid for it with my life, in a lynch mob attack. Even today, none of these liberal civil society activists support the most viable electoral option for the UNP; a young leader with a mass base who has won and lost, but fought many electoral battles in the Deep South.
Not a single one of the signatories to the petition against me raised their voices against the LTTE during its Reign of terror that engulfed the country for thirty years. I fought that ideological battle. I still recall Prof Peter Schalk, a scholar and prominent Tiger supporter, walking me on Galle Face Green, his arm around my shoulder, cautioning me that following the damage I had done to the LTTE on the BBC's award winning Suicide Killers (1991) by Stephen Lambert, he had seen my name on a magi board in an important Tiger office in Western Europe.
I also recall the iconic father of Sri Lanka's Special Forces and the LRRP, Gen Gamini Hettiarachchi, sending VVIP commando security for me on those annual occasions where I was a designated lecturer at the joint programme between the US Special Forces and a selected 40 men of the Sri Lankan Special Forces. When I asked Gen Hettiarachchi who was the Commandant of the institution that hosted the programme, why he had wasted VVIP Commandos on my security, his answer was that the military has a good assessment of the LTTE's assessment of me and that whatever I do on my own time was my business but when I was a guest of the Sri Lankan armed forces, I was their responsibility and had to be accorded a degree of security that was commensurate with the threat assessment.
The Magnificent Hundred civil society activists not only did not fight the battle of ideas against the fascist–totalitarian Tigers, they actively advocated a Chamberlain-like policy of appeasement and supported the CFA. A senior political scientist and prominent petitioner actually placed in print a criticism of the then PM, Ranil Wickremesinghe, that the CFA failed because he did not give the LTTE its due status of equality as a proto-state!
None of these civil society liberals denounced the assassination, unprecedented in modern times, of a Foreign Minister, namely Lakshman Kadirgamar, by the LTTE. Nor had they denounced the LTTE for murdering the liberal Tamil politician and intellectual Dr. Neelan Tiruchelvam, a man who had afforded them considerable institutional patronage.
At the time of the greatest protracted challenge faced by Sri Lanka, the neoliberal civil society cosmopolitans failed the moral and ethical test.
I had argued on the record in a lengthy interview with the top pro-Tiger intellectual DP Sivaram (aka Taraki) in the Northeastern Herald, January 1993 (Vol1, No 6, pp. 8-12) that the LTTE could be defeated decisively by the Sri Lankan military, and such a defeat should be the goal of the State.
This was reiterated at length in my first book "Unfinished War, Protracted Crisis" (Vikas, New Delhi, 1995). I was consistent in this and wrote a piece in the Island in 2004 entitled 'Why Prabhakaran Will Lose'.
During the last war, two professorial petitioners wrote that the Sri Lankan state could not militarily defeat the LTTE; could not win the war. They were defeatists as well as moronic analysts.
It is not that neoliberal civil society and its ally, Tamil civil society, did not have chances to make choices. Few artistic interventions have held up a moral mirror before their societies as has "Demons in Paradise", the factual yet dramatic film (with the actual protagonists, not professional actors) by Jude Ratnam which was shown at Cannes. The film commenced with a reconstruction of the emblematic horror of July 1983, immortalized in a photograph of a man, stripped naked, seated on a step, about to be kicked to death by a group of Sinhala youth. The film starts with an interview with the photographer at the very spot he took the picture. The movie's dramatic climax is a campfire scene around which activists from the LTTE and other organizations recount the awful atrocities visited by and upon them by each other. This movie, which could have had a cathartic effect, was ignored by civil society here and in the Tamil and Sinhala Diasporas.
The movie had favorable reviews in the quality press in India and the West. None of the 'liberal" signatories to the petition against me, reviewed the film. It was ignored or not shown at all in the North. It caused not a ripple among the Sinhala ultra-nationalists. Only small audiences appreciated it within the Tamil Diaspora, at screenings which usually followed by denunciatory interventions by pro-Tiger activists. I was one of those who reviewed the film favorably.
I said there were four 'civil societies', one of which has gone extinct. That was the real civil society. I have its archeological remnants, from the University of Ceylon magazines of the first post- independence decade, through to the Marga journals, Logos (Fr. Tissa Balasuriya) and of course the Lanka Guardian under Mervyn de Silva's founder-editorship. This was a civil society that was always autonomous of the state and government, but not necessarily antagonistic to either, and served as a strong counterweight both to the state as well as to non-state and anti-state ultra-nationalist fanaticism. This civil society was modernist, and philosophically universalist in its values. It was culturally westernized but by no means pro-Western politically, economically or in foreign policy terms; it was Third Worldist. Its function was primarily intellectual–a dual role of independent-minded critique and the proposal of well-reasoned, progressive reformist public policy. It would have been utterly unthinkable for that civil society to have drummed up a petition to oppose a nomination of a credentialed public personality however controversial to the post of Ambassador!
Both in terms of its stance in world affairs as well as in Sri Lankan politics, this civil society was genuinely non-aligned, though certainly not neutral or equidistant. That civil society was internationalist, patriotic, progressive and modernist while today's divides up between the neoliberal-globalist cosmopolitan and post-modernist on the one hand, and the parochial, nativist, ultranationalist and pre-modernist on the other.
In contradistinction to the earlier civil society, today's civil society consists of an archipelago of non-governmental organizations which behave as if they are or should be the government! Some, such as the signatories to the petition against me, behave as if they run the Yahapalana government or should. Others behave as if they will run a nationalist successor administration or should. Still others think they are a proto Tamil Eelam government which is around the corner (more "round the bend" I'd say). All three current "civil society" streams have abdicated the moral and intellectual responsibility of an authentic, strong autonomous civil society.
The increasing ascendancy– not the coming into being–of Sinhala ultranationalist civil society is due precisely to the disgustingly anti-national stands of the cosmopolitan liberals. Just as Sinhala Only was enthroned in the context of social revulsion towards the culture (and foreign policy) of the UNP of Sir John Kotelawela, today's ultranationalist civil society groups surf the broad revulsion among the masses to the unpatriotic postures of the neoliberal democrats. It is a classic backlash.
I am accused by the civil society 'activists' of being opposed to Reconciliation. Well, I am certainly opposed to a lop-sided policy of reconciliation which has resulted in Black Tiger Day, the day of the suicide terrorists who blew up Rajiv Gandhi, Ranasinghe Premadasa, Gamini Dissanayake and Neelan Tiruchelvam to name just a few, being openly commemorated in the North! I can think of no society anywhere in the world which would tolerate the open commemoration of a terrorist suicide bomb squad within its own internationally recognized and legitimate borders. This brand of appeasement pushed by civil society has derailed the necessary project of reconciliation, and instead resulted in a burning desire in the Sinhala majority areas to see a leader who will crack down decisively on the theatrics of terror. With the ban on Mahinda Rajapaksa running for the Presidency, this has resulted in the default option of an Alt-Right candidacy.
While I fully support Dayan as our ambassador to Russia, I agree with Sarath Weerasekera and Gunadasa Amarasekera on 13A. Sri Lanka is already a federal nation thanks to 13A. Going beyond 13A is going beyond federalism into a confederated state. 13A must be abrogated. There is no compromise here. If 13A stays, it must be tweaked to the Indian model of federalism under which the majority retains its rights, central government can take over any province, provincial power, change provincial boundaries at will. There is only one official language and all provincial expenses must be collected within the province.
I reject the "middle path approach" in international relations. This is misusing a philosophical concept out of context. It always fails. If it succeeds, it is only by chance. Our foreign affairs must be guided by selfish national interest, right or wrong, moral or immoral. We should not hesitate to align with any extreme if it benefits Sri Lankan interests. In fact this was exactly what we did in winning the war.
1976 non-aligned summit in Colombo was the height of our disastrous "middle path" diplomacy. It was fantastic from a philosophical point of view but a national disaster. Another "middle path" country (India) instigated and started a war against Sri Lanka in that year. Although we correctly assessed the therat of superpowers, we failed to assess the bigger threat from other Non alligned countries! If we had not followed the middle path and followed what benefits Sri Lanka by aligning with a superpower, this would not have happened or we would have had friends in 1987. Our "middle path" freinds deserted us in 1987.
As a very weak nation, we cannot control the world. We have to take whatever that benefits us and reject whatever that doesn't benefit us. It does not matter it is moral or immoral, extreme or middle. All these ideals are subject to interpretation.
I am a moron. A subject of the Indian Empire.
Our problems are caused by India and the Indian Empire and Indian Parasites and Indian Colonia Parasites.
Sir John Kotalawala a great Sinhalese who stood up to the Emperor Nehru while Sirima sucked to his daughter; non-aliened ; Indian aligned.
"Demons in Paradise" portrays the Sinhala Demon while the Gods of Indian Parasites were gathered with the World Council of Churches Seminar in Canada. Indian intelligence service the Third Eye got Indian terrorists to butcher unarmed Sinhalese while the World Council of Churches gathering was in progress in Canada.
These terrorists burned their establishment from inside attacked their own people and took photos and sent to media in the West.
Third Eye was working in Canda to spy on Kalistan rebels of India and to support Indian terrorists in our country.
Dayan are you saying one day India will disintegrate?

Wondering why my Patreon page won't load. Did I piss someone off?
Let me be real honest here: I'm old. I live entirely on Social Security and a very small pension from the State of Washington.
There. I said it. Really. Low-income/fixed-income. That's me. No shame.
I actually get paid next to nothing for my photography.
The Father-Daughter Dance, Oscar Night on Vashon limo ride reprints only, Vashon Community Scholarship Foundation reprints, maybe two school dances a year at Vashon Island High School. If you call two bags of Pirate Blend coffee getting paid to shoot a school dance. That's it.
None of the sports programs or any of the Island events I love to photograph have any sort of budget to pay me for my time.
The original plan was to make money selling reprints, but let's be honest: no one buys physical prints of photos any more.
And no, I'm not going to be showing my photography at the Hardware Store or the Blue Heron any time soon. If you're familiar with my photography, I'm a "craft" photographer, not a "art" photographer. You won't see any of my photography priced at $2000.00 per.
"Well, you've got all that fancy camera equipment. How do you manage to pay for all that?"
hahaha... Yeah. Credit card debt. No. Seriously. I'm able to cover the monthly minimums right now, but barely. Barely.
So. I need some help. Money help. Not a lot of help, but some. Anything, really.
I want to keep doing what I'm doing and what I love to do, and what I think (quite frankly) I'm pretty good at, but I need some help financially.
Your help. If I'm lucky.

Q: EmberJS redirect() works strange I have routes:
this.route('deals', function () {
    this.route('order', {path: ":id"});
});

In "deals" route I do this:
redirect(model, transition){
    if(transition.targetName != 'deals.order'){
      var order = model.orders.objectAt(0);

      return this.transitionTo('deals.order', order);
    }else{
      return this._super(model, transition);
    }
  },

It works fine if I open: http://localhost:4200/deals/1, but if then I go to any other route and then go to /deals with menu, it works such way:
Preparing to transition from 'deals.order' to ' settings.index' //any other route
Transitioned into 'settings.index' //here everything is ok still and next I click menu to go to "deals" route.

Preparing to transition from 'settings.index' to ' deals.index'

And next transitions go with no pouses and I absolutely have no idea why:
Transitioned into 'deals.order' (it goes with orders ID)
Preparing to transition from 'deals.order' to ' deals.index' //why???
Transitioned into 'deals.index' //why???

I even have no idea how to debug it!

Q: Corona SDK (LUA) Spawning objects and timer issues I'm trying to spawn objects above screen height to fall down.
The code I've written so far works, but when i lets the scene run out, go back and start the level again the scene have 2 issues:
1. The spawn function "spawnObjects" seems to fire twice every 0.5 sec but only sometimes, but always at the second run. More than often console looks it's firing 3 (liike they're stacking)
2. At the second run the function that should run when timer goes to 0 or less isn't.
This is my code, it might be chunky and have values and what not in odd places. This is because I've been struggling with the timers and now this(still kinda timers) for some days now and I've tried so many different things.

return scene

A: When your scene:show(), you execute
timerSpawn = timer.performWithDelay(500, spawnObjects, 0 )

which will cause spawObjects to be called every 0.5 seconds indefinitely (ie until application exits, or timer is cancelled or paused). This is ok except that when you come back to that scene, that line gets executed again, which will cause a new timer to be created, and timeSpawn now references the new timer. So now you'll have two timers firing at every 0.5 seconds approx. When you leave scene and come back again, you will have 3, etc. The fact that timerSpawn gets set to reference a new timer does not stop the old timer. You probably should pause timerSpawn when the scene gets hidden; then in the show(), you should only create the timer if it doesn't already exist:
function scene:show( event )
        ....
        ----------- Timers ------------
        countDownNumber = 10
        if countdownTimer == nil then
            countdownTimer = timer.performWithDelay( 1000, showCountDown, countNumber )
        else
            timer.resume(countownTimer)
        end
        if timerSpawn == nil then
            timerSpawn = timer.performWithDelay(500, spawnObjects, 0 )
        else
            timer.resume(timerSpawn)
        end
end

function scene:hide( event )
    ...
    if ( phase == "will" ) then
        timer.pause( timerSpawn )
        timer.pause( countdownTimer )
        -- NO:
        -- timerSpawn = nil
        -- countdownTimer = nil
        ...

CyberPowerPC taps AMD for an inexpensive VR-ready Oculus Rift PC
By Paul Lilly 2016-10-10T18:36:13.283Z
Lower specs, lower price.
Back in February of this year, Oculus unveiled the first crop of "Oculus Ready" PCs from Asus, Dell, and Dell's Alienware division. Pricing started at $949 for a pre-built system bundled with a Rift headset and went up from there. Now eight months later, Oculus has teamed up with AMD and CyberPowerPC to cut the cost of entry on the desktop side nearly in half to just $499.
Behind the price drop is a new technology Oculus calls asynchronous spacewarp (ASW), a variation on asynchronous timewarp (ATW). What it does is compare previously rendered frames to detect motion between them, and then uses that information to extrapolate the position of scene components in the next frame. This allows the Rift to render a consistent 45fps while injecting re-projected frames to display scenes at 90fps. That means less strain on your hardware.
Using ASW, Oculus was able to lower the minimum system requirements to the following:
Nvidia 960 or greater
Intel Core i3-6100 / AMD FX-4350 or greater
8GB+ RAM
Compatible HDMI 1.3 video output
1x USB 3.0; 2x USB 3.0
Windows 8 or newer
Previously the minimum requirements called for an Nvidia GeForce GTX 970 / AMD 290 equivalent or greater paired with an Intel Core i5-4590 processor or higher. RAM and output requirements are unchanged, while the new specs call for one less USB 3.0 port and the OS has been bumped up from Windows 7 SP1.
This is where AMD and CyberPowerPC come into play. They've collaborated with Oculus to be the first out of the gate with a $499 PC (when purchased with a Rift) that meets the new system requirements. The limited edition system pairs an AMD FX-4350 processor with a Radeon RX 470 graphics card. Other confirmed specs include a 1TB hard drive, DVD drive, mouse and keyboard peripherals, and Windows 10.
Lowering the cost of entry should help bring VR gaming to more people, though it's still not cheap as a whole. The cost of PC with headset is just shy of $1,100, and you can add another $199 if you plan on purchasing a set of Touch controllers this December.
While not cheap, it's a step in the right direction. The bigger step will come if and when Oculus is able to lower the cost of its headset. Bring that sucker down to $299 or somewhere thereabouts and the orders might come pouring in.

The View of a Protest
Michael Caputo
ListenAnatomy of a Protest
Police surround a group of people -- a mix of concert-goers and protesters -- who were ordered to sit down at an incident on Shepard Road near the Wabasha Bridge.
MPR photo/Paul Tosto
For twenty years I've been a journalist, and I'd never been in a riot. So when Minnesota Public Radio invited a first amendment lawyer to talk with us about police-protester confrontations I listened.
Attorney Mark Anfinson told us that if we got caught up in a melee, police didn't have to treat us differently from anyone else. And if we were arrested, or even charged with something, it was the police officer's word against yours.
I carried that, and other bits of advice, with me on Monday, as I was assigned to follow a group of protesters heading toward the river in St. Paul.
About a couple of hundred protesters walked down to Shepard Road. They started tipping over garbage bins and road signs. When we got to Jackson Street, we saw 40 or 50 more protesters in bandannas. They were holding up what looked like a corrugated sign. On the other side of Jackson Street were maybe ten police in riot gear. One of the officers knelt and aimed what looked like a small firearm.
"Many times you are certain about what you saw. You just aren't being accurate about what happened."
The protesters crouched behind their sign, locked arms and moved forward. Then came the bang... and another... and more.
I learned later the police fired stinger ball grenades and pepper spray. They drove the protesters, along with us reporters, back west on Shepard Road. The protesters began a loud chant - a warning of sorts.
"The whole world is watching! The whole world is watching," the protesters chanted.
Another line of police waited as we headed east. We were trapped, right where Shepard Road passes by the Science Museum of Minnesota. Then we heard a police officer through a bullhorn tell us: "Ladies and gentleman, you are now under arrest, please kneel down and place your hands on top of your head."
At first police wouldn't let me go. But after frantically waving my press pass, I was released. Others weren't so lucky. More than 100 were given citations for unlawful assembly. Eighteen others were arrested and charged with felony riot.
Police in S.W.A.T. gear watched as protesters made their way towards the Xcel Center in St. Paul.
MPR Photo/Caroline Yang
The police had their version of events. In a complaint they said the confrontation began after officers told protesters not to advance. The complaint said protesters not only moved forward, but they hurled rocks, chunks of blacktop, fireworks, plastic bottles filled with an "unknown liquid" and a white bag with what appeared to be "fecal matter."
That's not what I saw from where I stood -- about an arms-length from the protesters and more than a car lane away from police. I saw no rocks. No fireworks. No bottles or bags filled with feces. The way I saw it, the police fired the first shot, and I never heard a warning.
Minneapolis-based blogger Aaron Landry stood about a block away. His memory disagrees with mine on one point: who fired first.
A protester leads the crowd in anti-war and anti-Republican chants as they approach the Xcel Energy Center in St. Paul, Minn. September 1, 2008.
Caroline Yang for MPR
"To my recollection," said Landry. "What I saw was something thrown toward the cops and ... Afterwards, the cops shooting something back at them, so I was seeing things lobbed going both ways, in both directions."
Another journalist on the scene was Corrine McDermid of the Web site The Uptake. She shot video from the median on Shepard Road about 20 feet from the clash.
"I didn't see any rocks thrown," said McDermid. "What I saw was the protesters move forward and then police starting to fire."
St. Paul police declined to comment about the event. We wondered how unusual it is for police to have a different story of events than other observers. So we asked someone who deals with police reports all the time: Hennepin County Chief Public Defender Leonardo Castro.
He said it amounts to the difference between accuracy and certainty.
"Many times you are certain about what you saw," said Castro. "You just aren't being accurate about what happened."
Castro says lots of things can cloud accuracy, even a cultural perspective. Some people hear loud voices and think it's an argument, others don't. So whose story is paramount?
"When that information goes before a prosecutor they are likely going to believe the story of the police officer," said Castro.
Attorneys like Castro and Mark Anfinson say that when cases go to court, juries also tend to believe the story that comes from police.
But here's the thing. The Ramsey County Attorney's office ultimately reduced the felony riot charges. There wasn't enough proof to support that the protesters had dangerous weapons.
They still face gross misdemeanor charges of rioting, based in part on the police recollection.

Delvinë Castle is a castle near Delvinë. It is unclear when the castle was built exactly but it is theorized the castle was first built in late antiquity. It was rebuilt and restored in the 11th and 12th century. It is fully formed in the 13th to 14th century. It was held by the Spata family and became vassals to the Venetian and finally Ottomans. The castle was held by the Venetian and possibly fell into Spanish hands as well. Evliya Çelebi describes the ancienty city in his book when he visited Delvinë in 1670. Today there is not much left of the castle and it is in ruins.

Recently ranked the best suburb in the nation, Brookline is a tough town to beat. It is just minutes from Boston, yet at the same time filled with small town charm and many suburban amenities.
You will often find Coolidge Corner bustling with people, and there are plenty of top notch eateries in Washington Square, plus history in Brookline Village, and big homes near the country club. Here's a breakdown.
… in one of the seven Brookline Historic Districts. The areas are protected, so any design changes will be subject to Brookline Preservation Commission approval. Along with these local districts, there are also 16 national or state register districts and more than 80 national or state individual home listings.
Brookline has a great mix of lifestyles – ranging from apartments, condos, attached homes, single-family homes, and senior homes.
The town has also created a variety of walking tours around these districts.
… quite a lot. It is not cheap to live in the country's best suburb. The town's median closing price is currently $761,000. Zillow notes home values have increased 10.8 percent over the past year and are expected to rise another 2.7 percent in the next year. Zillow reports that Brookline is currently a warm market for buyers.
For $900,000 to $1,000,000 you can get a three- to four-bedroom condo that is around 1,500 square feet. Brookline's WalkScore is 79, meaning the town has great public transportation. Coolidge Corner, Washington Square, and Brookline Village all have even higher scores, given their proximity to buses and the MBTA Green Line.
The Brookline Booksmith is another Coolidge Corner staple, originally opening in 1961 under the name "Paperback Booksmith.'' Along with an excellent collection of new and used books (and a multitude of great gifts), the Booksmith hosts a variety of author nights, book club gatherings, and other events.
Coolidge Corner also has many great places to eat – like Paris Creperie, Otto Pizza, and the Regal Beagle – along with plenty of shops to peruse in.
Brookline more generally has places to eat for all preferences and tastes. The top four restaurants, The Abbey, Barcelona, Knight Moves, and The Publick House, are all located on Beacon Street.
Don't forget dessert – there are plenty of places for that as well.
… go to excellent schools. All of Brookline's public schools get above an 8 on the 1-10 GreatSchools rating scale. Lawrence School and Michael Driscoll School both get a 10 on the scale.
Larz Anderson Park is a great place to take the kids. If they like cars, they can take a look at the auto museum there, or just run and play on the grounds or go ice-skating in the winter. Allandale Farm and the Brookline Public Library both have a variety of children's programming.
… the historic sites. John F. Kennedy's birthplace is in Brookline. You can even take a park-ranger-guided tour of the home. For the car lover, the Larz Anderson Auto Museum is a great place to take a tour of a variety of historic cars – it's even known as the oldest car collection in the country.
Frederick Law Olmsted National Historic Site is another location for the history buff. Olmsted is considered the founder of American landscape architecture, according to the NPS, and at his historic site you can tour his professional office and walk around his grounds.
