    Law Enforcement - The Good, The Bad, The Ugly.....

    Only the ones who have been employed forever, before getting in trouble. The number of trained teachers who are waiting for a position to open is staggering.

    The only information that I could find stated "first degree assault" and that he had just been transferred into that facility, shortly before the beating.

    Law Enforcement - The Good, The Bad, The Ugly.....

    Fortunately this is slowly going away, with State and Federal law enforcement registries. Some still slip through the cracks, or find employment with backwater agencies.

    I've rewatched "The Orville" maybe three times now. Never gets old. For not being Star Trek it was the best trek since DS9, until "Strange New Worlds" came along. Now it's tied for best ;)

    I still want them to make this a constant thing. These days it seems like a quarter of the plates on the road are obscured in this way. I still haven't swapped out my dealer plate covers, because I need to modify clear covers for a two bolt fit, but I have most of what I need to do it.

    I hate to see "Lower Decks" go but better on a high note, than dragging it out until everyone is sick of it. And perhaps we'll get another animated show to replace it, now that it's been a proven performer.

    Now look up "Kids for Cash Scandal" and get REALLY angry.

    There is already a threshold for offences beyond which immigration status is supposed to receive a review. They just need to apply it. Perhaps there's an issue with a waiting list?

    Law Enforcement - The Good, The Bad, The Ugly.....

    Given that our system is largely successful, overall, I would like to see some numbers on who the recidivists actually are. My gut tells me that we're looking at a relatively small number of offenders who constantly play the system, making it look far worse than it actually is. We're seeing...

    I'd be careful about mandatory minimums. It's that sort of thing that resulted in the "multiple credit for time served" business.

    Law Enforcement - The Good, The Bad, The Ugly.....

    People who commit suicide typically aren't thinking about how it will have an effect on anyone else. One of my uncles was a chief of police, back east. His wife was going through chemo. He was fighting lawsuits that were filed by a woman who was claiming discrimination because the department...

    Currently on a rewatch of the late '90s Canadian series "The Lost World" on Tubi. Hokey, but I love it.

    "Tucker & Dale vs. Evil" - I think this is my 4th watch of this movie and I just keep coming back to it.

    Rewatched it a couple of months back after watching the remake, and being seriously disappointed.

    Aside: I'm quite annoyed that some of my friends' productions are on Prime in the US, but that even my VPN won't let me access them. At least some of the indie films that I've backed are starting to show up on Tubi and Roku, in Canada.

    Sounds about right. Fortunately most of the corners on 37 are sweepers, so he didn't end up in a grove of trees somewhere. Or someone's front yard.

    Watching "Skeleton Crew" on D+. Yup, "kids on bikes" meets Star Wars. It's like if they did a sequel to "The Goonies" in which the kids jumped on the pirate ship, as it sailed off over the horizon.

    I somehow doubt that the 80 YO's reflexes were up to doing almost double the limit on 37.

    I had much the same thing happen to me, more than 25 years ago now, though the conditions were somewhat different. We had just had an ice storm, followed by rain, and I was working in a computer manufacturing company. I always parked around the back. When I got to work I was careful to do no...
