Feds indicted a NJ cop for falsifying records and putting his K-9 unit on an already subdued suspect, resulting in 200 stitches.

So the police union is holding a fundraising benefit for him. The union president is one of the cops who was present at the scene.

A bunch of house seats. The three women that won long-time Republican seats in VA were running as center-left candidates.

I guess I was unclear. I mean did anyone hang on or get elected by actively moving to the right from their old positions?

Because that's what a lot of these "you're too left" types argue. That people on the left need to move right. Not that of course you run a moderate-ish person in tightly contested purple moderate areas.

This is extremely useful, thanks! While I might not convince my friends, I can at the very least get the classic "they need to be above the law to protect us" or "so you want to imprison a SEAL who endured the worst for our nation" response out of them.

It's also hard to say, exactly, right now what's going on because the government won't discuss ongoing investigations or legal cases, and there's the potential issue of classification.

I kind of recall some similar stuff about how the Kill Team guys were being railroaded being propagated by various soldiers, but then once the full up case was released to the public, it died down pretty quick, given how awful their behavior was. I distinctly recall one 1SG losing all sympathy for them not due to the murders, but because of the hash use :wtc:
