I'm more in favor in bigger, better trained, and stronger police.

Police that are around 5'9" 140lbs (Chauvin's size) are faster to go to the belt or other more agressive tactics because they have to to compensate for the lack of size. Our police should be closer to a linebacker size than Urkel's build. Don't even get me started on the fat *** officers

I'm all for batons, tasers, pepper spray, etc. Bigger police, sure, but IIRC ~14% of the male population is 6" or bigger, so there are only so many big guys out there and tons of them pretty Soy.

About time. Flew back from Atlanta to Denver with beast like that squashed into the seat next to me. We literally had to raise the arm rest so she squash into the seat. It was a disgusting ~4hours.

That's been around forever (I owned a mortgage brokerage back in the 90s-00s). I was never able to make one of these deals work nor do I know anybody who got one to work. You'd have to find a super cheap property to make the #'s work.

Height isn't the only measure in size. We have tons of police in very poor shape especially for the job environment they work in. Look at all the questionable to outright wrong police encounters in the media...the majority are from a small or out of shape officers going to the belt as their go to.

It's the same in the real world...a person that is physically capable of defending themselves is way less likely to resort to using a tool of some sort to defend themself as their first option. The small or worst shape a person is the more likely they're going for a tool to defend themselves right off the bat.

It's a little scary for me. I generally avoid using pronouns, but what if I slip? Especially with the ***** crowd, who always seems to look gender ambiguous and choose gender neutral names; it's like they want to inflict their confusion on the rest of us.

This got me thinking. So if I accidentally (or purposefully) call a ***** dude a him, that's a jailable offense. However, if somebody calls a Trump supporter or white male a racist, a Fascist, a misogynist or a bigot, it's all cool.

Perfect example of how you act when proved wrong: Like a child.

Like Brian Urlacher sized officers? Hell yes. Fast, strong, intimidating.

INSIST that if a person who is using pronouns refers to YOU as Cis or Cisgender or anything that YOU don't identify as such as Sir or Mr. immediately lose your shit on them, I mean crash out hard... like that guy in the game store who was clearly a man "IT'S MA'AM!!!!"

Hmmm, it seemed to be covering a lot of ground. I guess too much of it was over your head.
It happens.
