This is lousy reporting. They didn't say what kind of pizza.

How can we judge the severity of the offense, or the character of the offender?

Easy: What color are they?

"It was a tremendous waste of time and manpower, but we still had a job to do, and our officers did it," Joling said.

The root-beer kegger was "to kind of make fun of the school," he said. "They assumed there was beer in the cups. We just wanted to have some root beer in red cups and just make it look like a party, but there actually wasn't any alcohol."

Well let this be a lesson to you kid, do not ever, and I mean ever, have fun at the authorities expense.

Same as it ever was, but stuff like this was directly responsible for the flourishing of the Yippies. And we would not want that again now do we.

Dear Gawd, mind your words, what would be the fun in that.

I meant it leads to a rise of the Yippies, not Hippies. Either way, come to think of it, both paths lead to a very hairy outcome.

Inflation owner owner Martha Tsamis said in a Facebook post that the man dressed as the Joker was not holding anything in his hand when he was approached by the police, and was in a "compromising position" with his partner when the police arrived.

It is true, that once in a while at a sex party you see something you can not unsee, but I do not think shooting the participants is ever going to make that better for you.

$6 billion in military weapons.  Oh for fucks sake.

Justice eventually served due to police incompetence.

Maryland prosecutors have tossed 34 criminal cases and are re-examining dozens more in the aftermath of recent revelations that a Baltimore police officer accidentally recorded himself planting drugs in a trash-strewn alley.

Baltimore State's Attorney Marilyn Mosby said that, in all, 123 cases are under review in the wake of a scandal in which one officer has been suspended and two others put on administrative duty. Body cam footage revealed nearly two weeks ago showed one of the officers planting drugs when he didn't realize his body cam was recording.

Police planned to sell crime victim's car at auction instead of returning it

Antrim says police have not apologized for what happened, but advised her they were "looking into it".

Don't know exactly how to feel about this one

I think we should acknowledge great service when we come across it. They even make house calls.

Makes sense from their perspective.  They want a thick blue line between themselves and the great unwashed masses who will eventually come for them.

Another government program with broad bipartisan support that is never brought up in public.

Broad bipartisan support because it looks good when you're running for re-election.  A lot of us remember the 1968 Democratic Convention and the beat-down the police (in a supposedly liberal city) gave the protesters, reporters, and anybody else that happened to be in the neighborhood.  Since weapons are only acquired to be used, how much worse would that be now?

This is the other side of the coin from when all the liberals in California wanted strict gun control laws while hiring armed body guards.  In this case, since gun control laws are being struck down, the Gov-Reps want more powerful police forces to deal with it.  Also known as the "Shit, Niggers got AK47s too!" rule.

I wondered if you had floated off. Are you safely away from the flooding?

300 miles, thanks.  We're closer to Oklahoma City, OK than we are to Corpus Christi.

I played golf yesterday afternoon.

I'm glad you're safe in any case.

Thanks, much appreciated. 

Yes, Houston and Katy 1979 - 1991, Austin 1992, Dallas area 1993 - Present.  Not included, about six years in Mobile, AL and Columbia, SC during the early part of the 21st Century.

Damn, son, you should think about living somewhere pretty the next time you move.

Thank you, George, I know all them places but didn't have the heart to say so. And I'm sure most of the bucolic, blue highway hamlets I fondly remember have long since surrendered to fuckwit blight. I looked up Chillicothe, OH earlier evening and appears a Wallyworld Super Center ate half of downtown.

Back on topic, havoc in the High Desert

Says the person who lives in the burned out blight that is San Antonio.

I love living here.  It's not as pretty as my NC homeland but it's a very green city and there are a lot of flowers in the Spring.
'Course, I did relocate here from the arid, stony hellscape that is DFW, so in contrast to that, this place is a paradise.
(You say you live in the NE of DFW?  I do remember Grapevine and environs being remarkably pretty for the area.)

Yeah, Carrollton.  Our whole city is a greenbelt.

Another MO news story tells the tale of Schrodinger's Shooter.

Gotta defend yo' turf.

Sources say it started when two special ops officers from the 12th Precinct were operating a "push off" on Andover near Seven Mile. That is when two undercover officers pretend to be dope dealers, waiting for eager customers to approach, and then arrest potential buyers and seize their vehicles.

But this time, instead of customers, special ops officers from the 11th Precinct showed up. Not realizing they were fellow officers, they ordered the other undercover officers to the ground.

FOX 2 is told the rest of the special ops team from the 12th Precinct showed up, and officers began raiding a house in the 19300 block of Andover. But instead of fighting crime, officers from both precincts began fighting with each other.
