There is absolutely no accepted restraint procedure that involves putting your hands around someone’s throat like that. That’s an officer that has absolutely no control of the situation (or himself).

One of my pet peeves as a dispatcher was the fact that I wasn’t allowed to tell stupid people making dumb complaints that they were stupid people making dumb complaints.

COPS has had a 30 year run precisely because people can be depended on to play to a camera. That might not be so bad if there weren’t so many people that assume that what they’re watching is actually proper procedure.

Because a criminal prosecution for such actions would be a ridiculously high bar and almost completely guaranteed to fail. There’s also the fact that it would require a civil proceeding to be able to get a permanent injunction against the behavior.

Knowing that you’re being cheated on isn’t quite the same as having your nose rubbed in it publicly.

I would imagine that marrying a hateful old bastard for his money sounds a lot easier in theory than it turns out to be in practice.

Hah! You learned on an IBM Selectric? Man, what a cush life you’ve led. We learned on a Royal Quiet Deluxe and we liked it or else, dammit.

You’ll get my Oxford comma when you pry it from my cold, dead, and lifeless hands.

“I think it was the later rise of Aol and Instant Messenger that killed the habit for me.”

Oh, I am absolutely agreeing with you. And just pointing out another reason not to play bullshit games with people. Any woman that’s been on the receiving end of that is going to tell all of her friends what a jackass he is. And they’re going to tell all of *their* friends.

First and most important point: You do not get to decide whether someone else was victimized. What you’re casually dismissing as “took his dick out” is not less of a problem simply because he didn’t make physical contact with his victims. It’s another way of telling someone that they are of so little importance that…

There’s also the little issue that you better be sure that there’s absolutely no one that the woman in question knows now or will ever meet that you would actually like to go out with, because you can absolutely 100% assume that every va-jay-jay within a 50-mile radius is going to be told about your “joke.”

I was trying to find a nice, pithy comment, but at the moment I seem to be stuck hearing the “Jaws” theme in my head as I mutter, “Oh, HELL, no” over and over again.

I’m a Planned Parenthood volunteer, and I always have my camera with me at events. Some of the antis are borderline psychotic, and I always try to make sure I get pictures of every single one of them, license tags, photos of the creepers driving round and round the block, that sort of thing. And I’m not even remotely…

If I were guessing - and I am - I’d guess that he probably falls on the highly functional end of the autism spectrum. A lot of what I’ve seen with his mannerisms and behavior during interviews seems pretty well in that territory. From what I understand, he’s never been tested, but that’s not uncommon with highly…

No, it would be sloppy to leave out her real name. Incidentally, the first hint that that’s the case would be the phrase “real name”. Stormy Daniels is the name she uses in the business but doesn’t appear to use in the rest of her life. You wouldn’t use the name PeeWee Herman instead of Paul Rubens in an article about…

“We can all go back and forth on its meaning, but I think it means that we have a right to form a militia and arm it to protect ourselves from a corrupt government.”

Who knew that fractional Mooches were even possible, amirite?

DiGenova is probably one of the few people in the world that can give Trump a run for his money in the “goddamn ain’t I the best thing you’ve ever seen?” competition. No way the mango menace is gonna put up with that kind of attitude.

Except no, “endowed by the creator” has absolutely zero legal ramifications or weight. It doesn’t even rise to the level of dicta. It’s nothing more than the overly-flowery language that was in fashion at the time for formal writings.
