… He is the third person that Sgt. Tyler Longman has killed on duty.
Longman is one of 38 Utah officers who have been in more than one shooting in the past 16 years, according to a Salt Lake Tribune database, expanded with help from FRONTLINE. He is among six West Valley City officers, both current and former, who have fired more than once. West Valley City’s incident review committee determined Longman didn’t violate policy, and he’s back on duty after being on administrative leave, which is standard protocol after a police shooting. His actions are also defended by Utah’s Fraternal Order of Police.
A shameless execution on a gleeful pretext, while playing a weird game of “Simon Says” with a drunk, all on camera, with no consequences whatsoever for the killer.

Man found more than 150 bowling balls hidden in his home | Boing Boing
David Olson of Norton Shores, Michigan has got a lot of balls. The 33-year-old has uncovered more than 150 bowling balls hidden in the foundation of his home. Olson was renovating his back steps when he noticed a single ball integrated into the cinder block structure.
“The deeper I got into it the more I realized it was just basically an entire gridwork of them making up the weight in there,” Olson said. “I was actually a little happy about that because it’s a little easier to roll bowling balls out of the way than to move the sand and figure out where to put all that.”
From the Detroit Free Press:
As for the ball’s origins, Olson said there used to be a Brunswick bowling ball plant in Muskegon. He said some ex-Brunswick employees contacted him through his Facebook post, and said workers used to take scrapped bowling balls to use as a cheaper alternative to gravel or sand.
Olson said he plans to use the balls as edging for his landscaping, or to make sculptures. He also donated eight balls for a nearby church to use in a bowling ball cannon at a pig roast. He will also be giving some to his stepfather, who plans to use them as custom furniture legs.
