posted by justincredibleI've been scouring twitter looking at everything I can from Columbus, and you're right, everything looked fine. It's like the cops are trying to escalate so they can really start cracking skulls.
I mean getting called racist murders for 3 hours straight probably wears on you.

posted by Fab4RunnerThey don't just slip through cracks. How many of these officers have disciplinary records? How many are for excessive use of force? How many have been accused of domestic violence? Why is it so hard to fire a shitty police officer? Many fired officers are hired back, sometimes because of an administrative error during the investigation. There are major problems with a lot of LEAs.
posted by Fab4RunnerI understand that. My point was that bad police officers don't just slip through the cracks. The fact that it's difficult to fire a police officer is more troubling to me than the fact that it's difficult to fire a steel worker, no disrespect to them.
Uhh...what? It's literally impossible to guarantee you aren't going to potentially hire a bad officer, just as its impossible to guarantee you won't hire a teacher that diddles kids. You can take your best precautions, but its absolutely possible for someone to fall through the cracks.
A new hire would go through a basic background check and come up clean and have no record of anything on his personnel file. He could also just as easily turn out to be a shithead and kill an innocent person. He would answer no/NA to your questions listed above, and thus, slip through the cracks.
As to the police departments protecting shithead officers? Yeah, that happens. No, it isn't right. But I don't think it's a "major" problem at "a lot" of LEA's.
Also, not that it matters, but not all police departments are protected by unions. They aren't as common the further west you go.

posted by Fab4RunnerSome professions don't get to have bad apples, and when your job involves other people's lives, you certainly shouldn't have a disproportionate amount of them.
Which professions ‘don’t get to have bad apples’?

Great review! We just bought a car last week, and I'd totally recommend it. Not sure the make, but it has four wheels.

He’s drilling some down the fairway with at least some of his co-hosts, right? Or does he putt from the rough?

My first wife ran a nursing home. I’m not sure if hospital operate the same way, but nursing homes always want to be full as possible. I don’t think killing off patients would be a money-saving act, unless they weren’t able to pay.

Had the opportunity to play the Moraine Country Club yesterday. It was a wonderful place but I felt a little ill at ease at such an upper crust place. First time I’ve ever played with a caddy (one guy for the four of us). He didn’t give much advice but he was a godsend for finding balls on an unfamiliar course.
