St. Louis, MO — Earlier this year, a trial took place for several cops accused of savagely beating one of their own after mistaking him for protester. The results of the trial were less than desirable, however, video has been released this week showing the attack unfold and will be used in a second trial.
The officers in question—Dustin Boone, Steven Korte, Christopher Myers, and Randy Hays—were part of what was called a “civil disobedience team” to crack down on violence at protests. Their tactics, however, involved beating up innocent protesters for filming them and this was found out after they beat a fellow cop, Luther Hall, who was undercover as a protester. | |

For years now, Super Mario Bros. The Movie Archive has been working to obtain and restore a bunch of deleted scenes from Nintendo’s 1993 disaster. That work is now largely done, leaving us with a sort of “director’s cut” of the film that runs for 20 minutes longer than the original. | |

The supply shortage everyone is talking about involves semiconductors, the essential hardware in electronic devices as small as a cellphone and as big as an airplane, and everything in between. The lack of computer chips caused several factories to suspend production; the auto industry lost 27,000 jobs in April alone due to this shortage. Beyond autos, hardware companies like Apple, tractor suppliers like Caterpillar, and even a small company that manufactures electronic dog-washing booths have been affected. And these production snarls have downstream effects; rental car companies that cut their fleets in the pandemic have found it hard to replenish with more vehicles, and freight rail services don’t have cars to move around and are losing business.
It’s true, as Kevin Drum says, that this kind of scarcity was largely (though not entirely) due to stupidity among manufacturers, which reduced their orders for chips during COVID and then never ramped them back up until it was too late. But that in itself was indicative of a comforting fiction our economic overlords tell us about just-in-time production, the idea that we should remove all slack from the system of supply logistics and only bring raw materials to the production process, or goods to retail markets, at the very moment that they are needed. This invites catastrophe, of the kind we’re seeing now, as those same people realize to their horror that they can’t get everything just in time anymore.
