  1. Counter point: he died
  2. Fuck the looters...yes all day, and dirty cops too. Support the protesters...ehhh. I support the message, but honestly I'm pretty indifferent to protests (not just in this case). I think they provide an emotional release for people that may need it...but I don't think protests accomplish much if anything. In this day and age, peaceful well intended protests seem to create a jumping off point for the non-well-intended to manipulate a charged situation. IDK, maybe I'm wrong.
  3. Years ago I had a Ford Flex kid hauler. It had a touch sensitive keypad (not buttons) on the outside. When I first had it, and before I knew the code I was washing it at a self serve car wash. It was running with my phone & wallet inside. Water spraying back and forth on the keypad was interpreted as too many incorrect attempts and the car locked itself. I had to borrow a strangers phone and get my GF to bring my spare keys 👎
  4. Agreed. Police are capable of policing themselves, but if a cop "crosses the blue line" they are ostracized in their own department, so they don't.
  5. I'm sorry but that is 100% missing the point. That's the same logic and blaming a woman for getting raped. Police don't only detain people that have broken the law. When police do detain someone, they can't do whatever the hell they want or they're the ones breaking the law. The FOP will always defend cops that are in the wrong, which is unfortunate and the main reason this stuff keeps happening.
  6. Good price for a well kitted Duc☝️
  7. The fraulien is getting new shoes then all ready to tear up some Appalachian curves.
  8. The FOP has zero interest in cleaning up dirty officers. They will defend any criminal action committed by an officer an spin it like he's a hero.
  9. If I was concerned about my race being mistreated by police, a good starting point might be to encourage more people of my race to become police. Being more represented couldn't hurt.
  10. Someone suggested? Well that sure sounds credible🙄
  11. Did that cop squeeze the life out of that guy with his knee? Yep Will that cop ever be convicted and spend time in a prison cell. Nope In cases like this, juries and courts overwhelmingly side with police officers...even against damning evidence. The FOP works closely with the courts, and our judicial system doesn't have the teeth to prosecute and convict bad officers. Good cops refuse to "cross the blue line" to testify against bad officers. If they do they are hated in their own departments. That kind of protecting "brother officers" makes them all look bad. The issue isn't police brutality the issue is police accountability. Once I sat around a campfire with about a dozen cops. They went around the circle telling "cop stories" and one-upping each other. Most stories were about confiscating money, guns, & drugs that weren't on the books and never made it to the evidence room. Most of them don't give a fuck about civil rights even when cameras are rolling. The illegal things you suspect they do, they do. And they get away with it.
  12. I think out of state paid protesters are causing a lot of this chaos across the country.
  13. Because I'm good guy, I'll let you leave it in my garage to avoid the temptation. You might as well leave the keys also.
  14. AirBNB and VRBO are already filling the void.
  15. Seems like the most exposure these days is on FB Market place.
  16. 4 weeks and I'll be in those mountians for a week of riding
  17. S&P is back over 3K. The Spanish Flu of 1918 was followed by the Roaring 20s.
  18. Fast is relative. There's always someone faster. And there's always someone who thinks your medium is too fast
  19. Meat is murder? Dairy's rape?
  20. I guess we could carry them the rest of the way.
