I think the TTY stuff is actually TDD. (for deaf people)
That sounds outdated too, don't know much about it but I believe deaf people use the normal phone numbers here, otherwise they would be rather limited on who they could call!I think the TTY stuff is actually TDD. (for deaf people)
The reason the OP video quality is good for YouTube will be that it has had 52,000 views, once they get to 1000 views YT will re-encode them with higher quality and using the VP9 codec which takes a lot more processing power but gets twice the quality for the same bitrate.Yeah the quality is good. I asked the poster on youtube what camera is he using. It may not hurt do know what editor he is using and if he has re-encoded before posting to youtube as I have some videos that look fine before posting to youtube and terrible on youtube. You will notice some videos on youtube are soft for the first few seconds or minutes, depending on length and then get sharper. Its not just my videos but others. I have since started to re-encode to a youtube friendly encoding before posting, but I find that does not always work. For the last video that I have posted, yeah it works this time.
Ontario has something known as “Accessibility for Ontarians with Disabilities Act, 2005 (AODA) “ which is a " statute enacted in 2005 by the government of Ontario, Canada for the purpose of improving accessibility standards for Ontarians with physical and mental disabilities to all public establishments by 2025.[2]"

This ensures that hearing impaired can get services. As the OPP is a the provincial police, it must comply with statute and therefor must provide TTY. It appears even businesses have to provide accessibility as restaurants refusing to serve patrons with service dogs have been fined or sued. I did a search on several government of Ontario departments on this. Most major departments have TTY, but the Art Gallery of Ontario does not. I don’t know if business need to provide any special services for the hearing impaired.
In the mid 90s, I worked for a non profit which had a TTY device. For the time, it seemed to on the verge of being a little antiquated, so I was surprised to see there does not appear to be a lot more more modern looking devices when doing a google search of this. Some of Cisco’s IP phones have this

Mitel, the IP phone manufacturer that I am familiar with, has TTY/ttd ability but thru third party hardware.
No problem - wind would not have blown bullets around.Just watching the Tour De France (Bicycle Race), there was a protest by French farmers as the race passed, the police appear to have attacked the farmers with pepper spray, which the wind blew over half the competitors bringing the race to a halt with the cyclists all pouring water into their eyes! Good thing the police only had pepper spray and not guns...
You think firearms are better than chemical weapons?No problem - wind would not have blown bullets around.
Depends on the end goal. Most police trying to shut down a protest use beanbags or rubber bullets, not lead.You think firearms are better than chemical weapons?
Those bullets that don't end up inside the target always end up somewhere else!
The French incident appeared to be a police officer spraying a chemical weapon at the back of a couple of kids who were running away from the officer after pushing a hay bale onto the road in front of the cyclists. Presumably a protest against something, but not one that justified use of rubber bullets! An indiscriminate chemical weapon didn't seem very appropriate either.Depends on the end goal.

I never said, or even implied, that. Don't put words in my mouth or attribute to me something I didn't say to justify your position. Thank you.You think firearms are better than chemical weapons?

No weapon has yet been invented that can stop the French from protesting.The French incident appeared to be a police officer spraying a chemical weapon at the back of a couple of kids who were running away from the officer after pushing a hay bale onto the road in front of the cyclists.

another thing i've heard of is shotguns loaded with rock salt instead of lead shot. limited range like a taser, and apparently hurts like hell but isn't lethal except maybe at point blank range. much less scatter and zero overspray compared to liquid sprays. tasers, rubber bullets and beanbag cannons are also much more accurate with very chance of collateral damage (as long as your aim is good).The French incident appeared to be a police officer spraying a chemical weapon at the back of a couple of kids who were running away from the officer after pushing a hay bale onto the road in front of the cyclists.

Wonder if they have approval for tasering dogs? Being a lot smaller than a human it may need a different power setting to be non-fatal.another thing i've heard of is shotguns loaded with rock salt instead of lead shot. limited range like a taser, and apparently hurts like hell but isn't lethal except maybe at point blank range. much less scatter and zero overspray compared to liquid sprays. tasers, rubber bullets and beanbag cannons are also much more accurate with very chance of collateral damage (as long as your aim is good).
and speaking of tasers, i saw this recently. felt sorry for the dog as the owners apparently didn't have him trained well enough to listen (and/or owners were too drunk to understand what was going on)... but at least they only used a taser and not their service weapon.
