.413 is like surgical anesthesia.

Yes, and sisterhood too (though to a lesser degree, I believe). Every occupation (teaching, medicine, law, blue collar) produces its own workplace culture, none stronger than you'll find in policing. Danger, or the perception of danger, is a big part of that. So's authority. I remember my first days on the job, about…

Yes. To all. The drug war has cost this country well over a trillion dollars. It's resulted in the incarceration of tens of millions of low-level, nonviolent drug offenders — overwhelmingly young people, poor people, people of color. It's severely damaged the relationship between the police and those communities that…

Fascinating. Cops need to know that "snitching" off fellow officers who engage in racism or excessive force or corruption or sexual harassment (up through and including sexual assaults) is, or should be, part of their job description...a condition of employment.

IP address are NOT like a normal house address. For the average user, IP address change all the time, usually daily. Even then, there are numerous workarounds for altering/changing/spoofing IP addresses. IP bans are not a panacea to cure unwanted commenter.

I genuinely feel for the community, and I wish more was being done, but IP logging is not a cure all. It is extremely easy for anyone with a base amount of computer knowledge, or hell, a dynamic IP to circumvent that. And 4chan will definitely circumvent it. At least if they brought back the greys, this garbage would…

The NYPD then proceded to tazer the drone and beat it with clubs until it was dead, saying, "Grunk saw bird. Grunk say bird is good food. But, bird too boney. Not enough to go around."

You'd be a dickhead to be in his position in the first place

It isn't. But the reason those women aren't victims of violence has a lot more to do with socio economic status than marital status specifically.

Somebody needs to tell this to all those beaten and abused married women in Afghanistan. The married biological fathers over there didn't get the memo.
