Prove it?

Over the years Police Unions (FOP) went from "protecting officers" to protecting officers at all costs." And yes, "all costs" does mean lying under oath and tampering with evidence to protect officers that fucked up. It happens...because you would want your brother officers to protect you too...right? Departments can't usually even fire cops because of the FOP. There needs to be a balance though. Being a cop is a hard job. I wouldn't want to be a cop, would you?

Gift cards are typically a balance sheet liability. They can't just be forgotten. Did they file bankruptcy?

Do you mean if he picked Hillary for a VP?

That's a fun loop.

We'll be on the road at 6a on the 21st, but won't get to TN until late afternoon.

I'm old and slow now.

We'll be in TN the 6/21-25

To be fair, Biden has also said plenty of bizarre things recently. There's widespread concern among democrats that his memory & mental health is deteriorating. That is the reason he is being kept out of the public eye as much as possible right now. His performance in debates will be very telling. I suspect there will be talk of cancelling or pre-recording debate answers to shield him. Biden's choice of VP will be very interesting. I wouldn't be surprised if would resign before the end of 4 years if he does get elected. I suspect his health will decline.

I'd be very interested if I didn't already have a sporty naked bike. Paul had this thing hustlin' through corners in WV last year.

I think Biden's best strategy is to keep his mouth shut and hope Trump tweets himself out of the race...and realistically that has a chance of working.

While think those officers were wrong and deserve to pay the price. I don't agree with Black Lives Matter's core mission "#BlackLivesMatter was founded in 2013 in response to the acquittal of Trayvon Martin’s murderer. Black Lives Matter Foundation, Inc is a global organization in the US, UK, and Canada, whose mission is to eradicate white supremacy and build local power to intervene in violence inflicted on Black communities by the state and vigilantes." I think Police reform is long overdue, and that extends to accountability even beyond excessive force. However, this notion of wide spread white-on-black murder is not supported by actual data: https://ucr.fbi.gov/crime-in-the-u.s/2017/crime-in-the-u.s.-2017/topic-pages/tables/expanded-homicide-data-table-6.xls

Our country isn't perfect, but we're resilient and our economy is fundamentally strong. Whether or not you like Trump, his deregulation HAS made the economy stronger. The trade fight he started with China was long overdue, and let's face it Obama didn't do it and Hillary wouldn't have either.

If you have the original owner's manual there should be a card with the code on it.

It seems like many of these protests follow the same pattern. 1st wave - peaceful kids with signs and megaphones, saying "don't shoot" or "I can't breathe" 2nd wave comes a few hours later with no megaphones and lots of bad intentions. Stores destroyed, cars set on fire, etc. 1st wave says they aren't with us. We don't know who they are. That part I believe. Is it possible that both waves are organized by the same group? but intentionally kept separate? This really doesn't seem to be a coincidence anymore.

Counter point: he died

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.

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 👎

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.

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.

Good price for a well kitted Duc☝️

The fraulien is getting new shoes then all ready to tear up some Appalachian curves.

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.

No.
