Miami police union calls for cops to boycott Beyoncé

This is beyond asinine. I know this really doesn't mean anything, but to suggest that someone's opinion and exercise of free speech in a manner you don't approve of should result in said person or their fans not having the protection and service of local law enforcement is reprehensible. And no, I didn't watch the super bowl either. Nor do I agree with Beyonce's performance, I do believe it was more divisive than it helped, but again.. Free Speech. Rights. Equality. Demanding such things is hardly reason to call for a boycott.

Encryption debate


LA Times is asking: 

"Should Apple unlock the San Bernardino terrorists phone for the FBI? Why or why not?"

If they can make it a one time deal. But is it worth the risk when they've already been caught? What's the real gain, especially months and months later?
