I’m not sure what you think that statement means.

What was their guess? Their statement was a non-answer at best.

Dude you’re thinking way too deeply into, it really is as simple as “that’s just how cops and lawyers talk, nobody is going to give away anything.”

On top of that we have pretty serious restrictions called HIPAA on releasing private healthcare information and no insurance provider in the world is just going to go ahead and confirm plans details or lack of one if they don’t have to.

Friendly fire, isn’t.

I’m a 200lb ape capable of using rudimentary tools and would run away from an angry cat, fuck that.

I have first-hand knowledge of the workings of my local metro PD is the only reason I referenced them but you make a valid point that they don’t all like each other. In my local PD at least (and I imagine a lot of others) it’s hyper political. People try very hard to attach themselves to up-and-coming command officers to try to become a sort of right hand or assistant (while still being badge carrying LEO) to them.

It’s extremely hierarchical, it’s not uncommon for peoples parents and grandparents to have been cops and institutions like that definitely have a memory. People spend decades finding their little niches and if you step on the wrong toes you may get screwed over before you understand what’s happening, it’s an extremely toxic place filled with assholes and psychopaths lol.

Also a lot of places police work pays a really nice wage with opportunities for nearly unlimited overtime.

My local metro PD has what’s called “secondary work” where various (large) venues will hire off-duty officers to essentially stand around and be present. Those jobs regularly pay $50/hr and you get to see events for free. These guys rack up insane amounts of “secondary work.” It’s a total racket, a few years ago there was as scandal with a guy working secondary work *while on duty," it’s wildly open to abuse and the police hierarchy protects everyone at every step.

Vultures, someone (parasite or not) died in the street and their concern isn’t a lost life or even the motivations of the alleged killer but how can they get their photo op.

It was mostly a joke but I don’t disagree with your assessment.

He’s a programmer, they’re not really known for their awareness outside of pretty specific problem solving.

Was just talking to my partner about this last night. We both got to experience the internet before social media and corpos fucked everything up.

Louder for the people in the back:

I’m going to watch this soon, I almost did last night. Stavvy is based and funny as fuck I have to support him.

Memoir of a Snail at a theater a few weeks ago. It was a good movie and my partner and I enjoy going to the theater, I regret nothing.

An increasing number of Americans are beginning to see the problems inherent in capitalism.

You have to actually consider what the other person is saying if you want to have a productive conversation. Being snarky or just responding with memes and cliches only distracts from the point being made.

Yes, that there’s no such thing as an ethical billionaire. I wonder what the computing landscape would look like if M$ hadn’t spent three decades buying and closing every up and coming competitor they had.

“Rugged individualism” is propaganda sold to school children from the time they’re in grade school.

That’s the beauty of it, they’re not wrong either way.
