I can tell you from experience that I absolutely notice when police do this to me and it absolutely feels like a threat. Being a police officer in the US isn’t even close to being the most dangerous profession but they treat every interaction as if this will be the one that kills them.

the Super Bowl is just a bunch of burly guys pressing tightly against another group of burly guys trying to prove who is best at handling balls all to win jewelry and a purse.

don’t forget back room deals!

if this guy was still in charge, he’d probably encourage more people to travel to the games because “seats might become available suddenly”

I think removing their union protections (I’m a union member and I don’t think they should be afforded the same types of protections since they’re not labor, they’re the armed section of government who are the only ones allowed to use force on the citizens) and making them carry insurance would be a start. Then, moving their budget to do something about the fact that so many of their calls are to deal with mental health crises which they’re not trained for. Plus, for as large as their budgets are, I’d expect better results in solving crimes. Lots of police departments average something like 25% solve rate which includes things like when people turn themselves in.

I hope all their future meals taste like piss and flies

I like how the AP describes it as “scrapes on his head” and the whiny bastard claimed he was “literally lynched” at the protest. People like him deserve much worse than what he got

I had it easy teaching my daughter to drive - she was naturally cautious so if anything I only ever had to remind her to speed up. We live in a small enough city that I never even did that unless there was traffic behind her. I let her learn at her speed (and then sent her to driving school to get that discount on insurance). No yelling or extra stress required
