Being arrested means the police believe there's sufficient evidence for you to be charged for what they believe you did. Being detained means they have a reasonable suspicion you did something illegal, but not sufficient proof. You can be detained for up to 72 hours at which time they either need to charge you or cut you loose. And no, that doesn't mean they can keep detaining you over and over. The only exception I know of is you can be interred indefinitely under the Patriot Act if you're a suspected terrorist but that's obviously not the case here. This report doesn't make any sense however. You're only booked after you're arrested. You don't get booked if you're only being detained. Bail is granted by a judge at an arraignment, which only happens after an arrest.
This sort of "reporting" should be illegal. The damage it can cause a person is irreversible. Even when people are completely exonerated the damage to their reputation is done and no one ever looks at them the same way again. Particularly when it comes to sexual assault.

Each of us was either an engineer, researcher, or scientist. Therefore, none of us had the prowess, know-how, or inclination for physical combat. Much less to debilitate an armed assailant.
Which sentence best follows:
- So, they taught us methods on how to isolate a perceived threat from ever making contact with us.
- So, they taught us methods on how to isolate a perceived threat before it made contact with us.
- So, they taught us methods on how to isolate a perceived threat before it could make contact with us.
3 imo. the 'could' preserves the hypothetical aspect of the preceding sentence. 2 implies contact was actually made; 1 is kinda awkward cuz 'isolate' doesnt work well with the predicate. 'prevent' would work better.

So I purchased Grim Dawn via the Steam Winter Sale. Other than wearing out my index finger, is there a point to this game?

Kid was afraid of getting an injection so the parents didn't take him to the doctor until he was already hallucinating and convulsing. Can't imagine what it's like to beat yourself up over that...
It's a terrible, terrible story...
Never underestimate the power of doubt. Parents probably doubted it had rabies and that their son was infected. Also, maybe some lack of knowledge of rabies is to blame as well.
I feel bad for those people, they most likely lost their world.

Is there a point of living in California when it's going to drop into the ocean one of these days?
Sure. I just got back from a long walk with my dog along the oceanside. Most of my fellow walker / joggers were wearing shorts and t-shirts.
Besides .. Given the way things are going, the fallout will kill us first.
Well there you go. There's no real point to anything is there? In the end all of it ends. And you don't need to be clicking in ARPGs, just hold the mouse button down.
