PA here; can confirm. Pennsyltucky is real, man.

I know, but shitty doesn’t mean illegal unfortunately. It would be cool if they all said no at once, but nobody’s going to be that guy.

I disagree with your nit, and didn’t your mama ever tell you not to ever pick those!?

Sorry, feeling bitchy since Covid started.

I could probably find more, but I think we both get it. That is precisely what I wanted (sorry you had to appease me like that).

For civilians? No. For police procedures and use of force escalation during times of protest and civil unrest? Yes, most absolutely likely. You’re in the wrong section of code, look for something closer to this (sorry, I don’t have time to comb it right now): https://www.revisor.mn.gov/statutes/cite/609.06

Yeah, what you said. Literally. Part of my issue has been my work (as always for the past 5+ years - been there 19 years). I am a salaried slave. my first two 2-week timecards on Covid were 122 hours, and 129 hours respectively. Had one 2-week period that let up for an easy 90-hour period, and shit just started…

“All of this seems like a case study in the stock market making exactly zero sense.”

Huh? So you followed your loosely-termed “oath?” Good on you. Shouldn’t everyone who takes one?

It really wasn’t that hard to find.

Sometimes your hot takes are correct, even if not popular. That’s a tough little group to be in around these parts! Everything is always blanket statements and all or nothing. You know, completely unlike life itself.

Such a hot, correct take. I love it.

I’m not saying it’s not “right,” but show me the law. Seriously, not trying to be combative, but people tend to do the same thing with “illegal” that they do with “literally.”

Right, they’re not. But both take an oath to obey all lawful orders that are ‘given to me’. Gas station attendants do not. I know an oath is something that’s frowned upon in this day and age, but they’re still important.

Blame the people for voting for the politicians, who passed the laws that the police officers are enforcing.

I have two very good friends that are cops. They are just plain good people. I met them separately, but one is the chief of police now in my neighboring township. The other guy is on that same police force.

The only problem with making blanket statements like that, is ONLY when you’re talking about how people should NEVER make blanket statements.

It’s not okay, but is it “illegal?”

Maybe, but everyone has a knife and not a valve stem puller on them. And that would add extra time to unscrew all valve caps on all 4 tires. Ugh. :)
