stop locking non violent first time offenders up for victimless crimes. there, i just saved even more money.

i didnt say there was no problem, i said the problem was with the individual employee and not systemic.

no there may not be that many, im not sure... i think it does matter though. i mean, if they went to 99 people who told them to fuck off, then finally the last one says okay, that would pretty much show that its a problem with the individual employee and not a systemic problem. you can't just take everything at face value, especially a "gotcha" video.

hmm... i wonder how many different people they had to talk to before they got the answers they wanted on video?

you do know that execution costs more than life w/o parole right? as for quality of life, i dont think homeless guys get butt-raped on the regular... maybe they do idk... personally, i think the death penalty is the easy way out. life in prison is much worse. i mean, when you're dead, you arent in prison. you arent suffering... id much rather die than go to prison for life. http://www.kansas.gov/postaudit/audits_perform/04pa03a.pdf "The estimated median cost of a case in which the death sentence was given was $1.2 million, compared to the same estimated costs for a non-death penalty case of about $740,000." http://www.urban.org/UploadedPDF/411625_md_death_penalty.pd "We found that an average capital-eligible case in which prosecutors did not seek the death penalty will cost Maryland taxpayers more than $1.1 million, including $870,000 in prison costs and $250,000 in costs of adjudication. A capital-eligible case in which prosecutors unsuccessfully sought the death penalty will cost $1.8 million, $700,000 more than a comparable case in which the death penalty was not sought. Prison costs are about $950,000, and the cost of adjudication is $850,000, more than three times higher than in cases which were not capitally prosecuted. An average capital-eligible case resulting in a death sentence will cost approximately $3 million, $1.9 million more than a case where the death penalty was not sought. In these cases, prison costs total about $1.3 million while the remaining $1.7 million are associated with adjudication."

www.google.com type in wheelbase learn that it is measured from center to center.

that may be, but its important to remember its the judiciary's job to make interpretations, not the police. maybe if we look hard enough, we can find SOMETHING to jam him up on.

once the sale is over they will probably get more in stock

translated: android is too complicated. i need something very simple.

uh oh, we're getting some flak. SHUT DOWN EVERYTHING

thats what sick days/personal days/vacation days are for

they also survived without cars or proper medical care either, but that doesn't mean we should have to also.

i disagree. the union may have something to do with them getting paid vacation instead of getting fired, but the blue wall of silence doesnt have anything to do with unions. cops just dont snitch on other cops. if they do, well google Max Seifert to see what happens... just like if i get pulled over drunk i go to jail and my car gets impounded, but when a cop in my hometown got pulled over drunk by his buddy, they give him a ride home and get someone else to come down and drive his car home.

someone's jelly

the nicest weather we have all year is september/october.

of course the one i want is out of stock

sure it would. macs are not immune from crashing. it would also only have one pedal, and an oil filter would cost $900. plus, it would only run on like 5% of the roads out there.

probably doesnt have an ohio license, but has reciprocity from another state. now, that doesnt excuse anything. you are supposed to know the laws of the state you are visiting.

exactly. i think the negative perception comes from all the stuff the public sees, for example every few days we are seeing a cop arresting someone for video taping in public, which we all know is legal... police took an oath to protect the constitution, and if they break that oath, they should be fired. not suspended with pay and required to take a sensitivity class or something. the guy in this video is a bully and should be fired ASAP. he is not the type of police we need. there needs to be a real change in the way police interact with the public. police should see themselves as a part of the community, not as separate from it. they should be someone you want to come up and talk to, not someone you're scared of because you think they are going to try to pin someonthing on you.

like i said, i understand where you are coming from... and of course neither of us can just make blanket statements. there are always exceptions. you cant say 100% of ccw holders are not a threat, just like you cant say 100% of cops are bad... but id like to see if there are any statstics of how many cops are shot by CCW holders. the thing is, if you are a bad bank teller, you get fired. if you are a bad cop, your buddies all rally around you and say how awesome you are, and you dont get fired, you get a vacation and a note in your file. actually, the couple of times that i actually was speeding or something have always been fine. its the times i didnt do anything at all that were always bad... first was when i was about 9 years old. on the school bus reading a book. some douche older kid throws a battery at a car and about a mile down the road a cop pulls over the bus. starts questioning all the kids (can you even do that without guardian present?) when he gets to me, i told him i was reading. he said that was BS, no one reads like that, and i better tell him the truth or else i'd be in trouble... no one reads? wtf just because you ever picked up a book doesnt mean no one has... intimidating a little kid? classy. there was the time me and my buddy got pulled over because the "car looks stolen". he wouldnt say what a stolen car looks like, or how he could differentiate it from a legitimately owned car. its not like the windows were smashed out... i know it is just code for "black man driving a nice car in a white neighborhood" there was the time the cop stopped me because he said "my license plate light wasnt bright enough". then he said that my car was too nice for a young guy like me and he wanted to search it. i declined. he tried to intimidate me, telling me he was going to take me to jail, yadda yadda yadda. he said he was going to get the dog. dog shows up, walks around the car twice and does nothing. then the handler jerks the chain and makes the dog bark "oh the dog is indicating there are drugs in there!!!!" of course there was nothing. last one off the top of my head, we were loading my friends drag car (not a street car) on the trailer to go to the track. garage is in the alley, on the corner of the street/alley intersection. we pull the trailer up on the street on the side of the garage, pull the car out of the garage, and start it up on the trailer. a cop is driving down the street and stops and starts talking about how we are driving an illegal car on the street and he is going to give us a ticket/impound car etc.wtf? we are just loading it on the trailer. now this, yes i get we violated the LETTER of the law... but not the spirit. its not like we were doing drag runs up and down the street, or driving the thing around town... we were moving it like 20 feet from the garage to the trailer, but barney fife was acting like it was the crime of the century... eventually he left, but not after giving us serious attitude during all of these, i was always polite. im not the kind of guy who is going to start yelling and screaming at a cop on the side of the road, calling him a douchebag or whatever. thats just not me. i know that the side of the road is not the place to argue. but i mean, after stuff like this, what am i supposed to think? a few bad apples spoil the whole bunch i guess... just to be clear, i dont think that ALL cops are bad. but i do think there are bad apples, and i think that overall accountability is just not part of the police culture.

just to put this into perspective, how many permit holders have you come across? i.e. 6 out of X if a witness testimony (which is not the most reliable thing in the first place) was the only evidence there was for conviction, how strong was the case against them in the first place? i understand where you are coming from, but stories (that are not really verifiable in the first place and could just be hyperbole for all we really know) dont prove your point.

so the people who are getting paid under the table or making money from illegal means never have to pay... what we need is a national sales tax or something like that. EVERYONE buys stuff. it doesnt matter if you get a legit paycheck or get your money from selling crack, you still buy stuff. that way EVERYONE pays. there are pros and cons to this system, just like everything else. nothing is perfect. alcohol and tobacco too right? first of all, this was already tried and has been ruled unconstitutional. second, this spends more money than its worth. i know people have this stereotype in their mind that everyone on welfare is doing drugs, and stay on welfare forever but its simply not true. drug use rates among people on welfare are the same as the general population. about 3%. add to that the fact that 70% of drug users actually have full time jobs, and you can see that its just not adding up. when michigan tried it, out of like ~280 people tested THREE were positive. sure sounds like an epidemic of mass proportions. you are going to spend more on drug testing all the people than you are going to save by kicking the few off that test positive. the politicians KNOW that people have this stereotype in their head and are ignorant to the real facts, so they use it for political capital.

lol yeah right. accountability is not part of the culture. cover up for your buddies is. my money is on either a "notation in his file" or a paid vacation.

i need gigs of HD pr0ns on the go besides, the 64gb cards JUST came out. the price will go down quickly.
