The sorts of responses you get here on Jez every time vaping is mentioned really get my hackles up.

How about don’t fraternize with rape victims, including socializing, drinking with or engaging in sexual activity?

Officer Training Manual:

She was his “favorite.” Blerg.

I’ve never really cross-stitched before, but I made one for my roommate that says “last one to the bunker is a mother of whores!” from Kimmy Schmidt. Not HARD, per se, but I did spend a lot of time with graph paper drawing out the letters and counting them off to make sure it was symmetrical. Then did a couple rats in…

I’m still trying to figure out how we go from “interviewing a victim about a crime” to “ten-hour booze fest with said victim.” Like, do we wrap up the interview with something like, “Thanks for your cooperation, ma’am. Wanna hang out?”

It’s not particularly difficult, just sort of nitpicky. I’d suggest starting with a complete kit for beginners; it’ll have everything you need inside, plus all the instructions and shit. There are also lots of tutorial videos on YouTube if you’re like me and stitching instructions read like some sort of alien…

My question is, why would any officer fly to Seattle to interview a rape victim? How does that happen? Not over the phone? Not when she reported it the first time? Can't get interviewed by a Seattle officer? It seems like how would that spending be approved to begin with? Is that normal?

I really want to get into cross stitch. Any recommendations?

Makes sense, but it could be argued that the victim did see the officers as officers- agents of the state- when she went out socializing with them. In her position, it would have been very difficult if not perceived as sabotaging her case to refuse to make nice and go along. There’s a factor of coercion based on their…

It’s also frustrating because if an organization isn’t responsible for your actions outside of the scope of employment, then why are people fired for what they do off the job? Not that there aren’t terrible people doing awful crap who should probably be let go of anyway, but you can’t have it both ways.

Recently got into cross stitch. These are the first two patterns I bought, and I’m not even kidding.

POWER TRIP, you have a badge and you can do what the hell you want with out consequences

It's kind of incredible isn't it? Like the line for what cops feel they can beat and arrest you for is smaller than ever but it seems like it's almost impossible to hold a cop accountable

I can't...stop watching...this gif...it's everything to me.

All jokes aside, there is a line of legal reasoning that excludes employers from responsibility for when their employees do horseshit like this, because their shenanigans aren’t within the scope of their employment. No one seems to ask the next question, which is, “Okay, but if that’s true, doesn’t that mean that no…

Stabler would rip that POS detective in half like a phone book

Why is the concept of “don’t do bad things to other people” so hard to grasp for a lot of humanity? I’m totally serious. We shouldn’t have to “train” officers or anyone else to act in a responsible manner. I hate the world.

If this ass wipe “has admitted to departmental charges of prohibited conduct” how can he sue her for defamation?

This would never fucking happen on Benson’s watch.
