NYPD – 84 SHOTS – ONE HIT

The gang that couldn’t shoot straight is at it again. At least they didn’t shoot ten innocent people by mistake. I guess that could be called improvement. Maybe the NYPD should value marksmanship over diversity in their hiring process. The 11 year old kid in St.Louis only required one shot and nailed the perp in the head.

The weather agency’s budget has hardly risen over the past five years, topping slightly over $1 billion for the current fiscal year. In the past decade, its budget has increased much slower than overall federal spending. The NWS was also was hurt by the so-called budget sequester in 2013 that required most federal agencies to cut spending and impose a hiring freeze.

The article blamed the awful austerity imposed on the NWS as the reason their computer models weren’t able to predict what would happen in the next six hours. Of course, their own words undercut their argument. The NWS uses multiple computer models to verify their forecast. They use the European model, along with their own models.
