Get away from my tank, knuckle dragger. Warming yourself up in the exhaust makes you weak.

I've been told that I don't understand how institutional racism works, or the perils of homelessness.

I have a masters in sociology and I worked for a homeless shelter before my current job :wtc:

The flaw in your reasoning is that internet SJW buzzwords come directly from college social science and philosophy courses.

Well most degree programs come with a diversity requirement so even STEM people are learning the buzzwords in the college classroom. I know enough to use the terms correctly on an internet comedy forum, but it sure as poo poo doesn't make me an expert though.

A department in Washington was actually planning to use it, but shelved it, after an "anonymous Internet libertarian" made insane amounts of foia requests on I want to say Seattle, that it's costing them a fortune and to the point where even the ACLU isn't defending the guy. So there is alao that, I'll have to find the article.

The FOIA stuff could really easily be used for witch hunt kind of stuff like you said or just abused. What stuff should be view-able, like if a cop gets a personal phone call during his shift can that be viewed during FOIA requests and so on. What if he goes home for lunch? There are some things that need to be ironed out before I feel like it wouldn't be kind of screwing some of the officers.

well, since FOIA is a statutory right, you could always amend your state FOIA laws to exempt the lapel footage. Or just erase all footage at the end of the shift if there are no incidents.

That would do it I guess. This was the kind of stuff one of my cop family members brought up and I agreed with.

Lapel cams are a better use of funds then giving them loving MRAPS at least.

How much do LAZORS wear out when you use them? What is the cost per burst, is gunnery training trivially cheap now? Or would it be the capacitors that wear out?
