I’m admittedly stupid and didn’t know what work sets you free was referencing so I’m here to say the history curriculum in this country sucks

I went to school in rural Georgia (in a town of less than a thousand) and we covered it.

I will say I was extra lucky in high school to have a history teacher who gave a poo poo and to this day wants students to learn actual history and not redneck "states rights" history.

I mean, over the last 40 years or so it's kind of assumed there are people with guns being paid by the US running around everywhere in Latin America, isn't it? If it turned out the CIA and DEA weren't paying contractors in Venezuela that would be more surprising.

Yeah but these dickheads were getting paid by the heir to the Kraft family fortune (of cheese fame). Or apparently not really getting fully paid, like a bunch of chumps.

TLDR: Back in February black guy goes for a run, gets shot and killed by two racist shitheads. It's caught on tape (that was released yesterday). No charges have been filed.

On the upside, the current DA who has the case is pursuing charges so they may not get away with it completely.

I think the thing that aggravates me the most about people, more than their unreasonable constant sucking off of Trump no matter what kind of horrible poo poo he does, is how people will see Bezos becoming even more unfathomably wealthy during a pandemic and STILL don’t see an issue with capitalism.

I’m all but 100% certain it ain’t the USAF or USMC running those guns, so my best guess is Navy folks under Army opcon or contractor/civilians. Or Army owning them and having the folks for it, but something tells me the Army isn’t putting joe on that. Just a hunch, could be wrong.

I work for a company that already does work from home + scaling income to where you were hired. What happens for people who stick around is they get hired in high income areas then eventually move to low income areas and never get a raise again but they still live like kings. But, and it's a big but - no one gets their pay outright cut due to a move. That's Facebook being really special to its own. Given the sort of moral behavior that company encourages this is inevitably going to lead to massive fraud and then massive surveillance to combat the fraud.

Basically this. Pay them what they're hired at, you can pay new people commensurate with the location they're hired from.

Chances of a felony stop procedure like that playing out because of just a stop sign is laughable. It may very well have happened, but around here you only do it for someone who has led you on a chase, or they have a warrant and/or it's confirmed they're armed.

It very well could be some poo poo podunk PD doing it on a whim. Don't know the full story.
