On one of the streams this morning, the PD there couldn't figure out how to make a turn in their Navistar MRAP so they pulled wide onto the park/courthouse lawn, swing back around the street and rip the fender off some small white car parked on the side. Idiots. I wish I could find the clip now.

A couple of cops I knew talked about how they frequented prostitutes and how it was essentially a perk of the job since they have all the power in this situation. I'm going to go out on a limb and guess this is definitely a thing that a not insignificant number of police do and they don't give a poo poo about human sex trafficking for that reason as well

Police in hawaii threw a loving fit when a court ruled that they weren't allowed to have sex with prostitutes before arresting them anymore.

Oh this gets better. The Williamson county Sheriff tried to get Live PD again, this time by going around county officials. Once the county leadership found out, it got crazy. They forced the sheriff to back out of the deal, and THEN Live PD was cancelled.

In addition to the murder footage, the sheriff decided to go all tactical to serve a warrant (looked like a Dirty Harry movie), footage was uncovered related to high speed chases that shouldn't have been a chase, and it came to light that the Sheriff's dept was hiring all the cops from the area that had issues and "quit" their previous dept. This was AFTER one of his deputies was posting racist "elf on a shelf" memes to all the community pages on Facebook (he is still employed I believe).

I see what you're talking about on the map but also yall should know a loooot of Cameron parish that looks like it might be underwater there is a ton of salt marsh etc. If the storm surge was up a few feet it would mostly be underwater and then drain back out afterwards. Most of that area even tens of miles inland is like 2-10ft above sea level at the most iirc.

Catching up on post backlog but in the years before it was used to take over hashtags or drown out replies they were literally just farming (your) views for groups they like because Twitter will autoplay and count it as a view. As in literally just internet popularity "my band has 10m views on this video they're amazing"

We are based out of Lakeland now. From 1992-2017 we were at MacDill AFB in Tampa, but they kicked us off to make room for some extra tankers that never wound up coming. The old hangar is still empty.

We / our other historical iterations and agencies were at Homestead AFB in Miami before that, but Hurricane Andrew wrecked that.

Lakeland is... very central Florida. They market it as being right between Orlando and Tampa, but I find it’s not convenient to either unless you live in the suburbs and work in Lakeland. The airport director has some crazy plan to make it a giant commercial airport - amazon runs cargo through there now too. They did custom build us a gigantic hangar, and are further expanding it now so we can fit like 14 planes of various sizes inside. The rent wound up being significantly cheaper than the other local competing airports too.

That’s my home town. It’s a million times better then the late 90s when I graduated high school. That airport has always been “just around the corner!” for the last 30 years. But never actually amounted to anything.

I hope you and your kids like it there. I thought it was awful as a teen but I like it now that I’m middle aged. Anyway thank you for coming to my TED talk.

On the right wing they are saying both of the deceased victims were just out of jail, one of which is a sex offender, and the guy who was shot in the arm had a gun. They’re rubbing themselves raw over the loss of life. It’s pretty sickening.

The first victim was shot in the back and had a wound to his hand which is a textbook defensive wound IIRC.

I mean we know this fuckhead is going to claim self-defense but that becomes a lot harder to claim when you shot a guy five loving times, including once in the back.

That part's actually true. Here's the charging document that just came out.

https://drive.google.com/file/d/1m9sDjYr1Nj_fpFr9bTycWPG8tS2aPDeL/view

Basically the initial shooting was likely the magachud panicking. Everything else after was a result - the skateboarder tried to disarm him and got shot/killed with one to the chest, then Glock Dude got shot in the arm, then he escaped through the police.

Yeah the earliest stuff I saw yesterday morning on YouTube and Reddit framed things as the kid was some kind of 2nd Amendment hero protecting himself from crazed rioters. Pretty gross, and hooboy, been listening to "it could happen here" and boy is that a depressing thing to listen to right now.
