I’m almost certain that show was farce. The way people behaved on it you would think it was set in the Demolition Man universe (“Graffiti? Gasp!!!”). I was waiting for the Littlest Hobo to show up and help solve small crimes along with them.
80k in Cali? How far does that take you with million dollar 500 square foot ranch houses? My cop friend makes about 110k a year but he puts in ungodly overtime to get to that. His base is probably 80. One of his friends in another district makes about 70 with overtime. In this area thats not far off blue collar work. I know it's a do pile on cops at the moment but he's told me the horror stories of shit that couldnt be shown on COPS. The stress and psychological shit they have to go through dealing with the worst of the worst the pay is not envious in any regard. The job is less dangerous than king crabbing? Give me a fucking break.
Anyone keeping up with the Seattle Autonomous Zone? If there was ever a city to completely overreact besides Portland and SF, its Seattle. Nevertheless, it will be interesting to see how it plays out. It seems like a big joke. They think that this microcosm of anarchy is the answer, while benefiting from the infrastructure that capitalism built around them. I give it a week before crime starts ticking up and COVID-19 starts spreading in that zone. This entire thing in a nutshell.
Here is a logical first step: treat police unions like they don’t exist, because they shouldn’t. https://globalnews.ca/news/7050347/minneapolis-police-chief-union-negotiations/amp/
Never mind, someone has already gotten the shit beat out of them for graffiti by a self-appointed leader/rapper and his crew. Its like the Occupy protests all over again. People were bitching about investment banks and the next thing you know, sexual assault and rapes become rampant.
Not all of California has SF and LA prices. A "friend" of mine made that in his first year in Sacramento County FWIW. Not sure what he makes now that he's ~7 years in as I don't talk to him anymore because he became a raging cock when he got his badge and gun. Funny side note about him. When he went into the academy he was a huge Obama fan. Now he's a Trumpster. Weird.
That’s the opposite of weird. Trump supports police regardless of context and while giving a “speech” to the NYPD he told police to beat and brutalize people. That’s all a cop needs to hear.
Lady Antebellum just changed their name to Lady A because they just realized that everyone else just realized their name is a Civil War reference.
I guess the A won’t be antebellum anymore? And whatever. I’m all for the start of the shitkicker civil war.
Today has been a day I’ve found myself saying “You have got to be shitting me.” The Lady Antebellum announcement being the most recent. I... I don’t even know what more to say. Holy fuck.
yeah I always thought their name was in bad taste. Got some serious Paula Deen vibes off those implications. I wouldn’t change it to Lady A though, because people will still know what that means. I’d just change it to something different. But whatever.
You already had a shitkicker civil war army. They wore grey. That was the original band name: Lady We Fought To Keep Black People As Pets. But it wouldn’t fit in the side of a CD.
I don't believe you. As some who grew up in the South, and is familiar with houses and dress styles and other things, I've always known that antebellum means "before the war". I always thought of it as a time period. Like Biblical times, Colonial times, Medieval times, the Antebellum period. I have heard plenty of people say racist things, talk about slavery, defend the Confederate flag and other such, and I have never once heard anyone use the term antebellum as a way to invoke slavery or indicate it means they like slavery.
Lady Antebellum sucks shit straight out of a dog's ass. They ARE NOT country music, and they aren't even good music. Fuck them; I hope their record sales tank over this. Well, this, and their shitty music. EDIT: Their Wikipedia page has already been edited. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lady_A We should start calling them Lady A-Hole.
Being from the area surrounding Gettysburg, I’m expecting people to start caving on the confederate monuments on the battlefield. The NPS has been pretty steadfast that all monuments on the park grounds will stay up.
