He ceased being a dumpster diver when he drew a weapon on an officer.

If police abusing their powers is liberal, you need to reevaluate your outlook on the world because the only thing I’ve seen in the article and comments that could be construed as liberal is a throwaway line by the author. Here are things I care about:

Unreasonable search? I don’t think so, especially in this instance. Upon being approached by a uniformed officer the suspect drew a weapon. That right there is reason enough to escalate the level of observation. If I were a judge I’d have to fight not to sneer at a lawyer that tried to challenge the deployment of the…

Cop 1: What kind of gun is that?

Yeah, I bet the guy living next door to this wouldn’t mind an HOA.

Tear it down and build a statute of a real Maryland hero:
That girl that crushed a can of beer on her head last weekend.

They tied you up at the front, didn’t they?

“They say they love you, but they will forsake you. This, I know.”

+1 Sensitivity Training

No, don’t be bummed. What he did was the most diplomatic and tasteful compromise I can think of.

2. Probably should. I didn’t
3. Probably true. But they are soul-crushing and kinda pricey (unless you get a…

This is the shift mechanism from a M998 Humvee (might also apply to the newer ones, but I got out before those were fielded):
