It’s almost like these inconsistencies are between totally separate departments in places with entirely different laws and policies. Inconsistency within a department or municipality should rightly be pointed out. Otherwise you might as well complain about inconsistency between American and British laws.

You’re not going to have consistency in a federalist government with such strong state’s rights. Particularly when there is no universal training standards for policing (something I harp about constantly btw, and wish to change).

When you can’t even expect consistency between two McDonald’s that get everything shipped from a central location, idk why you would expect NYPD to be consistent with the Ogden County Sheriff’s Office. I think it’s pretty obvious why rural areas with lax gun laws don’t respond the same way as busy city forces with high crime rates and strict gun laws.

I think it's perfectly reasonable to expect some broad consistency in an area as important as law enforcement. I get that the laws are going to be different, but the enforcement of the laws and the citizen-police interaction is what I'm referring to. Because I really doubt that the police manual in state or county says "Break out the batons" while another says "Just sit tight" for the same violation.

But I think your point about big city cops vs rural cops is a good one though. The type of cop that joins the big city force is much more likely to have an animus that rural cops don't. Example #439,593,994:

But just because it's expected doesn't mean it's right.

No no we can't have this happen again Mr. Andy. Your skin needs to be pure and healthy...

Well your first post was in regards to protestors and now you’re linking an article about an unrelated incident of police brutality. So that’s a change of topic, and I’ve never defended overly aggressive cops and I don’t feel like going over that again. I don’t think the average cop anywhere has animus towards the community they police, but of course some of the shitty ones do.

But if open carry is legal in a place I don’t see how you can compare police response to that to protestors who are breaking the law even if they happen to be unarmed. If no laws are being broken people are allowed to protest, even if they are armed. When people start looting or blocking traffic or something then yeah the police response will escalate because laws are being broken. The major inconsistency is in the laws between the different places this occurs. That, and yes, areas where the force is less busy or better staffed are able to be more patient because they don’t have as many other, more urgent calls to attend to aside from babysitting a bunch of protestors.

Lol my father is the same. His beard hair is actually all auburn (well now it’s mostly gray but it was) despite curly, jet black hair on his head.

McEnany to reporters: 'I will never lie to you'
This one is worth keeping for future reference: White House press secretary Kayleigh McEnany pledged to never lie from the briefing room podium.

“I will never lie to you,” McEnany told journalists after one reporter asked if she would make such a pledge. “You have my word on that.”

The promise is notable considering one of McEnany’s predecessors, Sean Spicer, began his tenure by sharing false and outlandish claims about the size of the crowd at Trump’s inauguration.



...lol

I don't know, I've never measured small mammal skulls against one another. This one is about the size of a beer can.

Possum skulls are longer and more narrow, with smaller eye sockets. Raccoon skulls are blunt, broad, and the sockets flair out to the side.

He seems to have been training for awhile , I wonder if he plans on pulling a George Foreman ?

The whole world would tune in for that one

Philosophical question:
Can a protest be considered "peaceful" if the protesters are armed?

If there’s no personal or property damage I would say so

I think the armed protesters are embarrassing and sad cosplayers falsely thinking they look cool and tough with their rifles and tacticool vests, but there’s been a lot of them lately and never a single person shot despite all the “what could go wrong here” sentiment about it being dangerous.

Or something. Irish yes, ginger no. Just first real sun since, oh, October maybe, and it was for two or three hours. UV index was high and no sunscreen. It was glorious.

No no we can't have this happen again Mr. Andy. Your skin needs to be pure and healthy...

I didn't lie when I said I had the whole set. My facial hair is three different colours.
Edit: I lie, it's never been darker than brown except for one bit that likely only looks like black in comparison, but it's pretty well blond in some places, white others. Fookin strange maing.

It only takes one "bang". I don't like how inevitable that sounds.

Wanna bet it never happens? Would be an interesting one to see if it’s actually inevitable or not
