Can anyone tell me what repercussions an officer would face if they said “Well, Lieutenant, when I pulled them over some little kids ran out of the car and into one of the houses. I thought it was odd, but since they are just little kids, I left it at that. Not worth escalating the situation, especially when tensions…

This is your daily reminder that cops are not expected to keep their cool and act rationally but they expect all citizens of all ages to act perfect even if doing so is in direct conflict with a instinctual biological reaction.

Ah yes, Brazil, India, and China, the known bastions of clean air

I was thinking this.
I don’t see a major or even minor EU or North American city on the list. This headline could have easily been “living in an developing nation that pollutes like its 1977 LA is bad for your health.”

Correct headline: idling in traffic with your windows down in developing countries with minimal pollution controls increases your exposure to pollution (which may or may not be a meaningful increase that has health outcomes because we didn’t test that).

Average price of cars going up, while sales figures over all go WAY down...

Despite NYPD’s claims, the videos posted of the event show no bottles or rocks being thrown as these men snatched up the protester and hustled her into an unmarked minivan, though clearly marked cops on Trek-brand bikes can be seen maintaining a perimeter around the kidnapping

Nope, I’ve got a more practical workaround to the blocked sensors issue. (And I bet you’re on target by raising the alarm.)

Buick’s current lineup is a parade of lowest common denominator wasted opportunities. This should have happened.

That engine in the Wildcat was also the basis for an insignificant little Grandmother’s model called the Grand National.

Eh, I liked the Fusion, though I wouldn’t do the Hybrid version of it. The gas ones are handsome, practical cars, and are a steal at that price.

Serious question. What has Trump accomplished? I do mean that, no Trump supporter can answer that other than a vague "removed regulations" or "Great Economy". Which is true until you remember the Trillion Dollar Annual Deficits. Thats more than healthcare would cost for ever man woman and child in the US every year.…

“keep cars out of politics”

It wasn’t THAT long ago that rivers were so polluted they would catch fire. That’s the sort of thing that happens when companies aren’t “burdened” by regulations...people are dumb

So much this.  Our county is mandatory masks right now.  Last weekend 99% of the people I saw were complying.  One of the assholes that wasn’t was wearing a shirt showing support for police.  So my thought was, what would you do if a police officer told you to put a mask on?  You support those that uphold laws and…

So, let me get this straight: in the height of a pandemic which has turned the US into a pariah state, he’s going to press ahead with trying to rollback environmental regulations. Oh, and completely ignore the pandemic (which, to be fair, represents no change in his dealing of the pandemic so far.)

“...zoomed in *too* close on the podium to see the trucks, but [a] CBS News White House Correspondent tweeted some context for the vehicles on display:”

I’d bet 4 dollars that Trump somehow thinks this is true.

You have a lot more faith in the voting population than I do.
