Oh God, don't get me started on cop vehicle placement on scenes where they're working with other agencies.

what's up with trying to make cop vehicles invisible. I see it a lot in smaller jurisdictions. My local cops drive a black SUV with light grey lettering

they also used to have a corvette. I think they might have too much money and are just pretending to be police officers

Yeah it's pretty interesting that they're always talking about "community policing" but they try to hide from us to catch us doing something.

You're going to have to be more specific if you are trying to refer to a single department here.

One of my friends lives in a pretty small town and one of the local cops there just sits in the parking lot of his own police station and waits for people to not come to a complete stop at the nearby stop sign.

This stop sign is at a one-way L-shaped intersection where you can only make a right turn at the sign, and the oncoming traffic from the other leg of the L can only go straight into a one-way on the other side of an island. It’s almost impossible to have an accident at this intersection but 300lbs of useless cop will ticket anyone who dares to roll through.

There have been three shootings classified as "mass shootings" within ~5 miles of me in the last two months and only one even made the evening news

Six in 2022 and only two of them made the news.

I'm going off of https://massshootingtracker.site/ which classifies anything with four or more victims as a mass shooting

I'm glad I live in a no where town with 250k ppl... We have had a few incidents the last 2 years but it seems to have been more of a gang violence and beef than a person killing as many people as possible... I think the death rate has been seeing 3 or 4 people from drive-bys

I wonder when we'll get a complete psycho at a school instead of some poo poo heads at a graduation party in the "bad" part of town.

Well you just did react to that, also here's a great article on why mass shootings are defined at or around 3-4 victims

Nothing to see here. Move along.

A few years ago at work there was a mass shooting a few miles from me and some coworkers came by to talk to me about it. This was the first I was hearing about it and I asked how many victims? They said 2 dead and I replied "Only 2? That's not a mass shooting. Come back to me when there are 4 or 5." They were horrified by my reply and honestly, so was I.

Just send 4 AR15's to each family by USPS. We did that with COVID home tests and that solved that emergency.

We americans are back to it:

At least three people have been killed after a mass shooting at Greenwood Park Mall in Indiana, according to local authorities. Three others were reported injured, with first responders still clearing the area on Sunday evening.

One of the dead is the suspected shooter, according to Greenwood Mayor Mark Myers, who shared in a news release that the gunman had been shot “by an armed individual.”
