Good thing about conspiracies is the absence of evidence is evidence itself.

Why don't they just buy monster trucks then ? Those can handle high water and are probably cheaper. And they're macho, so that'll be great for the cops.

Yeah but usually when you say "there were calls..", there's an implication that it's not from random nutters. I did find one supposed call for a coup which...is a bit reaching to label it so. ""If he’s fired by Mr. Trump, or is attempted to be fired by Mr. Trump, I hope, I really hope that our members of congress, our elected representatives, will stand up and say enough is enough, and stop making apologies and excuses for things that are happening that really flaunt, I think, our system of laws and government here,” Mr. Brennan said." Kind of weak for a coup when that seems to be pretty much Congress doing what it is permitted to, not necessarily having the Marines seize control and appoint Mattis President.

D'oh. Gfted already posted this

Yep, which is why I roll my eyes and laugh any time one of them get shot or dies in any other way and get the funeral for a fallen hero. Thank God for the proliferation of video cameras these days. I certainly don't want to see any of them injured or killed. Even the asholes are still human beings with families that love them. But I certainly am uncomfortable with extending military decorum to law enforcement. To call it apples and oranges is still too close a comparison. Joining the police force or even the military does not make someone a hero. Sometimes cops do heroic things. Military members often do heroic things when in a situation that calls for it. But military service is a sacrifice. The pays sucks, the conditions you are in usually suck. The work is long, hard, complex, stressful, and often done with no tolerance for error. There are no "shifts" in the military, You work when you are told to work and stop when you're told you can stop. If a cop has to work on Christmas at least 1/2 of that day will be spent with his family. Not even close to being the case in the service often enough. And if you don't like being a cop you can do something else. Be a cop somewhere else. If you don't like the military, tough s--t. You are in until your contract runs out. Maybe even longer if stop-loss is in effect. Police are paid a decent salary. They have better than average benefits. The government goes out of their way to cover for them when they make mistakes. i assure you military members get no such coverage. They are routinely thrown under the bus. It's not the same thing. And it annoys me when I see the equation of the two. Mark my words, this detective will not get fired. They will hide him until this blows over and it will be business as usual again. It happens all the time. Nah, waste of energy wanting cops to die or something, I just don't really care that much when they do - it's another death in the city. But yeah, cops really want to be military, most glaring of all is their use of 'civilian' to refer to people (what do they think they are?). Which isn't all that helpful.

They're console gamers, don't expect them to have reasons for things.

Quantity of winding up isn't always better than quality.

It is Portland.

It is expected, like RTS (if those exist any more), TBS or FPS/TPS. I guess it counts as needed in those cases.

Shame, they were amusing posters, really. Forum was a lot more fun with them around watching people getting spun up over them.

We need oby back

The Deep State killed him. Hm, wonder where Longknife went, hopefully he didn't off himself

Muahahaha, we pass gas in the general direction of NK's puny missiles: US Missiles Destroy Airborne Target in Successful Defense Test. As any (real) developer will tell you, you can play a lot of games if you're in with the QA staff

That seems like a pretty accurate way to frame it, actually. At least reading the whole sentence there.

Maybe it is a fuse and not a breaker

Can't wait until people seriously rank Antifa up there with Al Qaeda.

And you have the best song about any state

First day of vacation, wasting it by learning HTML (well ok just stuff that came after I stopped making web pages 17 years ago)

I am glad her daughter was murdered.

Frame, box and mattress. Maybe I will spend all weekend testing it

Memorial Day ? You've gone back in time ? This bed is far too expensive, but supposedly it is to last 20 years. It damn well better else I will find that salesman

Good. That movie sucks.
