I mean let's be real. But yeah trading him to a team that's most definitely in your way for a cheap one-year rental seems odd.

So the Ravens trade away a pro bowl tackle to move from 58 to 31. Big brain stuff right there.

Lot of good ones. Not a band but Joni Mitchell is Canadian. Arcade Fire, The Tragically Hip, Three Days Grace, Steppenwolf, The New Pornographers all haven't been mentioned yet. And yes Gug I ignored your OP instructions.

"...and everybody stood up and clapped!"

You need data to believe that a taser is outgunned by an actual gun?

Just some helpful tips to help ensure your loved ones’ safety ❤️

The jews wanted him to shut up the Romans wanted the jews to shut up lol it's the pain cycle.

He’s a writer in hollywood. That kind of work is what you type up before breakfast to get the juices flowing.

If it were an NRA platform it would be far less effective 🤣

There's a lot of reasons why hiring sucks right now and pay is a factor in a lot of areas. FHP starts at like $15/hr to do traffic stops of Florida Men in 100 degree heat. That's insane. Many agencies are down people right now. NYPD down 8%, NYSP down about 10% at the moment and you can tell. My agency is down 10%. There are big city PDs in the south that are 30 or 40% down. When you're down 30% of sworn personnel it's almost impossible to catch back up without dropping standards. And most places have dropped standards significantly in the past 50 years already.

You should hang a sign, "Reggie Bush slander will not be tolerated in this dentist chair"

Baseball objectively sucked in the 80s. This is incontrovertible. I am an admitted very casual baseball fan, always have been.

Baseball seems to come and go, almost pendulum-like in its appeal and popularity.

Tbh you might get flamed for the military comparison but urban police in many places are basically an occupying force with the justification for their presence being high rates of violent crime. Some cities have tried mitigating this by recruiting more locals but it’s tough sledding, especially now. Oh btw tibs I just googled it and apparently court tv has a free app for fire stick, roku, etc. Not sure if the live content is free but worth a shot.

I’m surprised one of those free smart TV apps like Friendly or Pluto don’t have court tv. Pluto has a channel that just does “Cops” reruns 24/7 and a channel that plays old WPT events lol

Mine went a little haywire and started beaming gibberish to my work phone

RIP King. One king enters the world, another leaves. Time moves all 🙏

In any case looks like still cases in the double digits, more and more of them seem fine with rolling with their real names.

I think several cases have to be dropped and re-filed due to a judge saying that the cases need to have real names attached.

The ***** dude? Literally any warrant with a gun comes back and that traffic stop turns to a felony stop real fast. Out the ***** car, back up toward me, put your face on the ground.

That's my guess too. Looks like Donald went easy on him tbh. Still wonder what the full story is.

Of the 1000 people killed by police officers every year, an extremely small fraction of those are unjustified. Daunte Wright is one of about five black men who get killed without justification by a police officer per year. Basically the odds of being struck by lightning. It's impossible to "do better" in this regard. It's down to the level of a freakish act of nature. And yet it's the core justification for overturning the way our criminal justice system works. The "progressive" movement isn't one of science or facts - it's one of emotional manipulation. Which is why it's working. When local police are abolished or defunded, they won't be replaced by social workers. This is a bait and switch. Local police will be replaced by national goon squads that bully normal people over what we would consider trivial stuff. This is what the progressive movement actually wants, because local police and sheriff's departments are some of the last institutions that wield violence outside of the national regime's control. The regime doesn't actually want to prevent police shootings, they want to employ them against their chosen targets.

Frankly I'm not sure how an external safety would help anyway. Cops that carry handguns with external safeties are trained to switch it to "fire" from "safe" during the draw. If your gun is out of the holster it should be ready to fire. Even drawing down is considered use of force and needs to be justified as such. If you're drawing your firearm and not switching the safety to "fire" you're essentially using your gun as a threat instead of what it is: a deadly weapon.

Anyone who talks about disproportionality in police shootings with regard to race who doesn't also mention this well-documented fact (not to mention homicides of police officers) is being deliberately deceptive in the interest of maintaining a narrative. They really aren't worth engaging with on any significant level. Not if they carry a Glock. No external safety.
