invisible airwave Posted June 6, 2020 Share Posted June 6, 2020 Drew Brees caused me to facepalm today. His initial speech, the lame apology for the speech, or both ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
invisible airwave Posted June 7, 2020 Share Posted June 7, 2020 The Los Angeles Galaxy (soccer) released a player, Aleksandar Katai, because his wife apparently made some nasty comments on social media. :facepalm: https://www.yahoo.co...-180553788.html That’s like chastising George Conway because he’s married to that alternative facts bimbo. Opposites attract. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All police officers could partake in 10,000 hours of training, and some will still ignore it all. We can reduce the number of bad cops, but we will never eliminate them all. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cop training day one introduction: good morning class. one thing that you need to be conscious about is that if you start getting physical with someone, even if justified, there WILL be a cell phone video taken by bystanders. Be absolutely sure that your actions are justified and legal. On a similar subject, I don't get what 'defunding the police' does for anyone. Maybe start with 'defund the police unions' and work our way up from there. Edited June 13, 2020 by HemiBeers 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a few childhood acquaintances that are already saying, "The first thing Hitler did was defund the police! The sky is falling!" Sigh. I wish it could be phrased as Retrain the police, Reform the police, Educate the police etc. I think that is closer to what is needed.
