What's the legal justification for searching their phones at all?  If I punch you in the face, can the police get a search warrant to search my house?  What does rioting and destruction of property have to do with your personal information and communications?  Searching the phone sounds like an unreasonable search and taking it in the first place seems like an unreasonable seizure.  They caught these guys red handed and have all the evidence they need to get convictions.  That should be enough.

Presumably the argument will be that they are trying to find evidence for someone "inciting a riot" but they should be able to solve that part of the case with old fashioned interrogation and deal-making with the hundreds of people they arrested.

Yes. It is called hard evidence. If you punch someone in face you go to jail. You are lucky that you just go to jail.... some of us are licensed to carry in many states and that may end-up quite differently including search of phones. So let's stop at that.

Yes. A death sentence for throwing a punch. Red America. And red in more ways than one. 

That is a strawman. If a person throws a punch at you, how do you know what his intentions will be AFTER that punch? Does he wanna throw some more punches and then finish you with a knife, or would one punch be enough? You dont know, but he has already attacked you, so it is reasonable to assume that person wants you dead or injured.
When you throw a punch at a person, you have just given that person a right to use deadly force, if he can prove later, that it was reasonable for him to think he was in danger. I like that every person has the right to defend himself. Sure, responding with a gun to a fist fight might be an overkill ( no pun intended) but a person with a gun was not the one who had the option of choosing if he wants to start the violence or not. 

Besides, if you don't wanna get killed for throwing a punch, DONT THROW PUNCHES without a good reason. That might help to pass throw Darwin filter, you know. Just saying....

um, Anton, you are the one proposing a straw man argument.
the number of fist fights is exponentially higher than the number of murders, so it is quite unreasonable to assume the person wants you dead.

going straight from a punch to death?!? i hope that is hyperbole.

Lol @ the notion of the USA lacking "skilled labor"
when they were hiring children off the street for a long time. 

I Smell fear. How dare the USA bring back a product economy that benefits its people!

Its not fear, it is the boots-on-the-ground realization that the current administration is full of hot air, and has no real plan to fill the gap of skilled labor.


existing US-based manufacturers told Trump the same thing.
it isn't a lack of jobs, it is a lack of skilled labor to fill the vacant jobs that exist.


The US failed the menial laborers of 20th century factories, they simply laid them off & provided no opportunity to re-train for the skilled factory workers needed in 21st century factories.

we have known it for some time as well. there are jobs open in US manufacturing, but no one to fill them.

Chalk it up to one more thing where the current administration focused on rhetoric rather than solutions.
"we need to ban muslim immigrants"  ***except from the countries where the previous foreign-born terrorist came from, because of financial interests
"two state, one state, whichever one both sides like"
"no one knew how complex healthcare is"
"we need to increase US manufacturing"

I am no fan of trump but this lack of skilled labour is hardly caused by his regime. A population of 300 m plus with supposedly the best technical universities  and technical institutions in the world should find it easy enough to adapt within a few years though, right? in the meantime bring in skilled immigrants. 

If previous regimes had in fact invested in the kind of technical education needed, rather than spending too much, arguably, on gender studies. 

i definitely agree that re-training of manufacturing laborers has been completely ignored from Reagan on. Trickle down economics, NAFTA, eroding of public school systems, they all focus on extreme cost-cutting in the short term, and in no way reward long-term re-training type programs.

The GI bill allowing so many WWII vets to get post-high school training is a huge part of what made that generation able to out-earn and out-produce their parents. 
Then the baby boomers get shafted with nothing but stock price-driven cost cutting, expense saving methods of streamlining matched to automation of the late-20th century and a blatant lack of governmental investment into any kind of worker-driven legislation.
Even a raise in the federal minimum wage for full time workers can give the disappearing middle class the cushion to advance their own abilities via edu and tech training.

It is definitely a multi-decade cascade effect leading to rampant unfilled jobs in the 21st century US manufacturing sector.


But previous White Houses have simply chosen to overlook it/remain mum, this White House has made its battle cry is "We Have the Answers!"
but their lack of actual answers is a smack-in-the-face wake up call.

This is good news. Competition benefits all consumers. That said, I don't see $35/mo of value to me. YMMV.

An AppleTV 5 with a coax jack and a couple of OTA tuners would be something I'd buy.

No evidence Apple would provide or is interested in providing live streaming network television. They really should get interested in it. AppleTV remains an entertainment silo without access to live streaming.

it already exists via the app store.
