If the police have that many job openings, why don't all the anti police brutality activists simply take those jobs? That keeps out the bad guys who want to be cops for bad reasons, and means the police force will be full of good guys who know it's bad to brutalize people.

session 1: kids name is David, just joining the academy, dad is a cop, chat about smoking weed and being cool

session 2: David returns after completing police academy, been a cop for 3 mo, talks to me about the arsenal of weaponry (shotgun, AR, etc) in his cars trunk and how we need that to combat the “bad guys” with ak47s

session 3: 6mo later returns for the last time, tells me about how good he’s feeling after getting to do something he’s always wanted to do: he got a call from a gas station where a homeless guy was trying to swipe a couple chicken wings so he shows up, beats the poo poo out of him and throws the dude into the Frito-Lay shelf and everything goes flying.

The Good People™ who join the police to make it less bad are quickly encouraged to leave, if they're even allowed to pass the training courses at all. The only people who stick around are those who can acclimatise to the internal politics and behaviours.

every once in a while a good person becomes a cop, sees how hosed up it is and tries to report all the crimes their peers do or push for systematic reform. we call these nigh-mythical good cops "corpses".

Knights of the Golden Circle: Secret Empire, Southern Secession, Civil War

Based on years of exhaustive and meticulous research, David C. Keehn’s study provides the first comprehensive analysis of the Knights of the Golden Circle, a secret southern society that initially sought to establish a slave-holding empire in the “Golden Circle” region of Mexico, the Caribbean, and Central America. Keehn reveals the origins, rituals, structure, and complex history of this mysterious group, including its later involvement in the secession movement. Members supported southern governors in precipitating disunion, filled the ranks of the nascent Confederate Army, and organized rearguard actions during the Civil War.

The Knights of the Golden Circle emerged in 1858 when a secret society formed by a Cincinnati businessman merged with the pro-expansionist Order of the Lone Star, which already had 15,000 members. The following year, the Knights began publishing their own newspaper and established their headquarters in Washington, D.C. In 1860, during their first attempt to create the Golden Circle, several thousand Knights assembled in southern Texas to “colonize” northern Mexico. Due to insufficient resources and organizational shortfalls, however, that filibuster failed.

Later, the Knights shifted their focus and began pushing for disunion, spearheading prosecession rallies, and intimidating Unionists in the South. They appointed regional military commanders from the ranks of the South’s major political and military figures, including men such as Elkanah Greer of Texas, Paul J. Semmes of Georgia, Robert C. Tyler of Maryland, and Virginius D. Groner of Virginia. Followers also established allies with the South’s rabidly prosecession “fire-eaters,” which included individuals such as Barnwell Rhett, Louis Wigfall, Henry Wise, and William Yancey.

According to Keehn, the Knights likely carried out a variety of other clandestine actions before the Civil War, including attempts by insurgents to take over federal forts in Virginia and North Carolina, the activation of prosouthern militia around Washington, D.C., and a planned assassination of Abraham Lincoln as he passed through Baltimore in early 1861 on the way to his inauguration. Once the fighting began, the Knights helped build the emerging Confederate Army and assisted with the pro-Confederate Copperhead movement in northern states. With the war all but lost, various Knights supported one of their members, John Wilkes Booth, in his plot to abduct and assassinate President Lincoln.

My mortgage adviser company contacted me in Feb, seven months before my remortgage was due.

We got it approved the day before the first rise. It's now over a percent lower than the base rate and locked for 10 years of an 11 year mortgage. Dead chuffed.
