  1. Had me until this part: "And their use of force policy doesn’t require officers to use available non-lethal alternatives to shooting people." Federal Law says it wouldn't be legal if they did. Plakas V Drinski:"There is no precedent in this Circuit (or any other) which says that the Constitution requires law enforcement officers to use all feasible alternatives to avoid a situation where deadly force can be justifiably used" Of course, it seems clear that deadly forced WASN'T justified here, but the statement is still misleading- at best.
  2. I have a buddy who renovated his house a few years ago and had a moving container put in on the street outside their house. One night, a neighbor called the police because they noticed that the container had been broken into. One cop came to the door, and proceeded to let himself in the 3 season porch. The other went to the side of the house, and started shining his lights in the house. They never announced themselves. Hearing the creaking floor and seeing the lights, buddy's wife woke up and started to scream. He jumped up and ran to the front of the house ready to fight. Luckily he's white and didn't have a gun. I'm surprised shootings like this don't happen more often.
  3. Affectionately known as Sneet (snow + sleet). Minnesota was prepared for the weather. Nebraska wasn't. We'll see what the 2nd half brings.
  4. I don't need this, even a little bit, but... https://www.k-bid.com/auction/30262/item/2 The question is, what do I do with it? It's a single chamber, heavy steel cooker but it's gas. It does look to have a spot inside on the right- for chips maybe? I don't know, but I think I can get this for close to free. Thoughts?
  5. Not that they shouldn't make the movie they want regardless, but I have a feeling this portrayal is going to inspire a whole bunch of nut bars to do nut bar stuff. I'm gonna go ahead and not watch this in a crowded theater.
  6. He's doing pretty well so far. Super smart, and loves to walk with me in the woods. All puppy though.
  7. I don't disagree. This is my black lab's replacement. It was too soon to do another- couldn't do it.
  8. Chester is 6 months now! 8 weeks in the first pic.
  9. Cool. On a related note, is there anyone from the Virginia/West Virginia/North Carolina/South Carolina/Kentucky area that would like to have lunch with me next week?
  10. Craziest game I've seen in a very long time.
  11. My least favorite musical by a mile. I still like the trend of Broadway to film, but not this one. Nope.
  12. I think there's a walk somewhere in the middle of that too. Indians will be sellers by the end of the weekend.
  13. Going to the friendly in St Paul. Should be fun.
  14. How old? I've got an 10 year-old one of those in by cellar, sitting next to the 9 year-old Cantillon.
  15. Joe Mauer's number was retired tonight in MN. People were... festive.
  16. It is increasingly freaking me out how much Millie Bobby Brown looks like a young Elizabeth Perkins. I noticed the resemblance back in season 1 but now it's just uncanny.
  17. Twin Cities (St Paul) I know they went to college around here.
  18. Shit I'm gonna cook soon: I recently got my hands on 20lbs of cooked crawfish, left over from a boil on Saturday. I've pealed them all (and ate a bunch) and what I have left is about 2.5 lbs of meat and 6 lbs of heads for stock. What should I do with it? It's fully cooked (not par cooked like you get when you just buy tails), so I want to be careful not not to turn it in to rubber. I'll document, but need ideas.
