My rather negative POV is that the honest decent cops would be the ones most likely to want out.

It's well known that decent cops burnt out and get out because of the issues of bad cops

I saw something vaguely similar at my company, when times got hard and they wanted to cut staffing, the folks who COULD leave left, and they COULD leave because they were good enough to have other employment options, and they took them.

In my last year, they announced that the MANAGERS could take the retirement package, it was a year's salary so it was significant.  BUT, our VP said that those of us at the same level on the technical side would not be eligible because he feared losing us.  If we were more valuable, why weren't we compensated for that?

I was pretty annoyed, though everyone expected it to be broadened, and it was 5 months later.  In the end, I got 5 more months of compensation and benefits and still got the package.  I didn't exactly pull my weight for those 5 months.

Some reality in the paper here about crime going up, and tickets not being written, down from 3,000 per month to 50.
I thought papers were bad, but the strongly worded opinion section is good? Odd.

The thing about traffic stops in interesting because it could point to two things. 1. Police use pretextual stops as a means of searching people without warrants. 2. Police pulling back, and sitting on their hands because of slights they feel.

The former is a tricky one, especially if you’re kind of a rights person. The latter is notable as it says the police are liable to leverage their role. If that’s the cause of the extra murders, who knows?

I try and keep an eye on local "crime conditions", so this caught me notice.

The woke (angry) want to take over the country. No outrage necessary. Everything guys like us did to make this country great matters not.

Burn it down.

If our country was every that great, we wouldn't have such large percentages of it feeling neglected, targeted, or compromised.  Ya know?

Well, some issues are localized...

For example Mississippi, which may finally do away with the confederate flag as a portion of its state flag. 

Would you agree that perhaps the 37.67% of Mississippi's population which is African American might feel neglected, targeted, or compromised by having the symbol of racism and a war fought over slavery as their state's emblem?

Well, I guess it depends.

100% of any population isn't going to have a problem or feel minimalized.  But most of certain populations do, I'm sure.

I'm not talking about the irrational outraged leaders of radical stuff, just nice, normal people wanting a good life and are willing to earn it, but face numerous obstacles the rest of us don't have to overcome.

Obviously, I'd include marginalized minorities, but also, what do we do with poor people living in rural areas who have been duped into thinking they're part of the in crowd of a party, but aren't?  What do we do with everyone taken advantage of by the fine print? 

What would we say is the percentage of people that aren't happy, but did their best in their pursuit of it?  I have no idea, maybe 25-30%?  I mean, we could cast a wide-ass net here - the misinformed who had a kid at 17 because they were only taught abstinence and abortion wasn't an option, socially.  The young vets with permanent problems that aren't evident by just looking at them, and have been let loose....

Where does it end?

No, no, I've been assured that it's just a symbol of heritage...of traitorous losers from 150 years ago.

Completed a project yesterday. This rack used to have a bunch of kitchen items we never use, while our pots and pans were deep in cabinets and a pain to get to, despite using them daily. So we reversed that.

I realize most people don't like everything out and visible and wouldn't accept a 6'+ quite real shelving unit in their kitchen. I believe that makes them weird, not me.
