I know that in Washington State our state constitution actually requires law enforcement vehicles to be clearly marked as such. Hasn’t stopped most of the law enforcement agencies around the state from completely ignoring the law, which is more than a little bit ironic if you ask me.

But that would cut down on their profits!

“Wilkens asserted he didn’t realize he was being chased and “had never seen a black Camaro cop car before.” I’ve never seen a police car quite like that either, and as you can see from TheNewspaper.com’s photograph of the vehicles the Camaro is pretty indistinguishable from a civilian car. Even the license plates look…

Aren’t you a pleasant little authoritarian.

it’s not wise to believe “it’s ok for cops to crack the skulls of people I don’t like,” ‘cos eventually they’ll find or be given a reason to crack your skull.

ok, on this one there’s dickery from both sides. The little boy on the bike who thinks public roads are his own personal race track should have had his license suspended at most.

I have respect for law enforcement, but what happened here does not paint cops in a good light.

Agreed. And while David Duchovny doesn’t look half bad these days, he definitely peaked about 10 years ago.

I was thinking this exact thing while reading. She definitely the bigger star.

It is especially fucked when you compare how much work Gillian has done since X-Files ended compared to what David has done. Woman has worked her ass off and deserves to be paid accordingly, for both experience and keeping her name out in front of the public. David was in Californiacation, and that’s about it.

“I made a joke about dating, and then AMY made a joke about dating!! THEN I made a joke about boobs, and of course Amy went and made a boob-joke too! Then I did this whole bit where it would be surprising that I was being crass because I am a girl, you know? Guess what! AMY went and did that too! And Amy NEVER steals…

“at least Cosby knocked his victims out b4 he raped them.”

According to the linked article, there were only about six kids in the group. I cannot even FATHOM how she “suggested one was not” a virgin. Did she, like, point to one of them and go “this slut right here is CLEARLY catching dick left and right, but what about the rest of you?”

I’ve seen him live twice! He’s great! But when I saw him last year even he pretty much said he didn’t intend to garner all this attention for Bill Cosby.

He actually became one of the best parts of Broad City for me. Second only to Ilana.

Moving the setting to WWI also greatly impacts the status of women’s rights. During WWI women couldn’t even vote yet and were definitely far less liberated than a couple of decades later. This is basically the same territory as the early seasons of Downton Abbey.

Let’s not delude ourselves. The only reason this is set during WWI is to differentiate from Captain America. If you really think there was a meticulous deliberation at WB/DC over reframing the origin setting in order to better nuance the character, I have a bridge to sell you.

It ‘exploded’ because the Austro-Hungary Empire wanted to control the Balkans so used the death of the archduke as a reason to give them an ultimatum that couldn’t possibly be agreed to. This drew in the Russians who were allied to the Balkans, so the Germans joined with AH, which drew in France as it was obliged to…

With such memorable story arcs like:

“Handsome man pilots good”
and “Dashing commando smiles”

There is literally no way this book can suck. Every issue could have Poe inexplicably escaping certain death without so much as a hint of an explanation. BB-8 could go off on some six-issue unrelated adventure and then Poe could come back at the end, deliver a winsome smile and hand someone a jacket and I would still…
