  1. Almost all PDs around the country are having serious issues hiring police officers. Bad cops has nothing to do with the issue that no one wants to be a police officer unless you think that only civil right abusing, racists assholes want to be police officers. I don't think we'll go back to cops "winning" because we won't have enough cops to "win" anything. This bullshit of having the inmates run the asylum is the new normal. If this is your definition of "winning" to keep the cops from "winning" then everyone except the dregs of society have lost.
  2. Cops deal with a shitload of people who are not "the dregs of society." Have you looked at the APD booking thread? Those are just the anomalies which stand out. Look at all the pics in the booking website. The majority of the assholes in there look like it's not their first time to be featured in a mug shot. The "I'm sorry this shit happened to me" people are far outnumbered by the "ehh, they'll just add this to my rap sheet" assholes. Now that the pendulum has swung all the fucking way to cops can do no right and asshole criminals have all the rights in the world including winning the court of public opinion, I'll gladly accept the bad cops if it means the asshole criminals don't have free reign and the tax paying citizens don't feel like the fucking losers in all this bullshit.
  3. It's not that simple. I hate defending the police but they have a thankless, no win job. We can get CR real quick but when the vast majority of the time they are dealing with dregs of society, assholes who prey on innocent people, I can see how the police become jaded and treat everyone as criminals. To that I'm sure the response is, then "quit." Well that's exactly what's happening and no one wants to be a cop because it's a job that sets you up for failure. You can only arrest assholes but not have final say in whether or not the DA presses charges. You are expected to act civilized and follow the letter of the law but the assholes you are trying to arrest have the benefit of public support so they can do stupid shit and not be held to any standard. The cops remaining are prob just going through the motions until they get their pensions. The losers in this are the tax paying citizens. The winners are the criminals who have freer reign to do whatever the fuck they want.

    FAFO?

    If only our country would have as much conviction on hating Nazis.
  5. Probably. His demeanor in the 2nd half seemed much better. He looked over and interacted more with the sideline/coaches.
  6. I'm not sure if Sark tweaked anything. Sanders TD looked like blown coverage by Rice. No one covered Sanders coming off the line. No sure anything special was called or designed. Mitchell TD was more of a "fucking finally!" than something creative. Mitchell had 1v1 coverage for most of the day. I'm hoping there were others but that was the one slant that remember him running ran all day. Crazy enough it was off an RPO which froze the LB underneath. In a another thread, I expressed amazement we didn't call more RPOs. Mitchell is lightning in a bottle. That we hardly featured him when he was 1v1, especially in the first half, is either on purpose or flat out stupidity. In the first half, Mitchell was pissed. I'm hoping Sark saved all those Mitchell RPO slants for Bama. Cause if not, Sark should relinquish play calling duties. He ran for first downs on I think 3 3rd and longs. He's mobile enough.
  7. These are some fucked up looking people. I've said it before but looking at these photos, the majority of people pictured in the mugshots look like people who belong on mugshots. What the fuck do we do with these recidivist motherfuckers? Keep arresting them and putting them back out on the street? They don't seem to give a shit. The trips to jail seem like just some side quests that they have to take in the journey to nothingness. Civilized societies are predicated on the assumption that its citizens are, well, civilized. There is a good segment of our society who are just FUCKED UP.
  8. Aren't crime stats only those which are officially reported by APD? What if you call to report a crime, for example burglary of home, and 911 never fucking answers. Does that event go into the stats? I know the answer, I am just asking pointing out that not matter what the stats are, they under represent the true bullshit going on with this city.
  9. Many many matches left to be played but at the beginning of this school year, if you would've told me that this team would not only lose these games but lose them looking like absolute dogshit, I would've said you are smoking crack. And yet, here we are. We need to get our shit together.
  10. Riley uses the RPO extensively. It's one of the easier plays to execute and stresses the shit out of the D. I don't see why we don't heavily rely on it until the other teams makes us stop using it.
  11. What you don't see in the televised footage is that Ewers releases the ball and the receivers are still cutting back and forth. It makes it seem like Ewers is throwing a bad ball but the receivers are still dancing around. I saw 2 long balls, one to Mitchell where this happened. It's not all on Ewers. He and the receivers need to get on the same page. Sark alluded to this in his post game PC.
  12. Good thing he had on a life jacket, otherwise, he might have gotten hurt.
  13. Hate that they have shit blaring right up to the snap, sometimes even after the snap. There's way to much shit going on with the jumbotron and all the shitty music, amp the noise shit. It was beyond distracting.
  14. Finally saw it. From a social commentary perspective, I thought it was well done given the constraints of the movie which is Mattel owning Barbie and Mattel not wanting this film to be overly incendiary. Saw an interview with Margot and Gretta where they talked about trying to be respectful of the legacy of Barbie and addressing social issues. So those of you who think Greta didn't go hard and deep enough, that's probably a big reason why. Delicate tight rope to walk. As a movie, I enjoyed the hell out of it. Had plenty of light parts mixed with some heavy moments. I'm a father of two amazing young women. I see the world they have to navigate and welcome any movie, work of art which entertainingly and intelligently addresses the challenges of being a woman.
  15. I saw Baxter walk off to the locker room during the game. He looked dejected and pissed. He looked like he was favoring his right shoulder/side.
  16. He has more weapons on offense and looks exactly like late season Quinn. On the pass to high Worthy which was overturned, he had Mitchell alone one on one on a post route. Mitchell had his man beat. Quinn locked on Worthy as he always does.
  17. On the drive leading to the first FG where he overthrew a double covered Sanders, the slot receiver was running wide fucking open at the 10. He locked on to Sanders no matter what and didn't even look at his reads. Sanders was bracketed. This was fucking horrendous.
  18. Watching the USC game. I don't know how much of it is Williams or how much of it is Riley but they make passing look so fucking easy. Receivers are always open. I'm leaning towards Riley since his QBs seem to be plug and play. Which leads me to this. Sark's play designs sometimes work but they aren't remotely what Riley has going. Sark seems a bit mediocre. He's supposed to be a genius but I'm not seeing it. He called and designed a beautiful Bama NC game. Since then, it's been pretty meh.
  19. Got back from the game. Our O has serious issues. Can't run on Rice, we aren't running on Bama. Quinn is ok if the first read is there. If it's not he SUCKS at going through his reads. A few times, there were receivers open. He just did not see them because he folded after the first read wasn't there. Our D is legit. Next's week game may be a 10-3 game.
  20. Wrapping up this thread. I sent Mercari a message saying that the listing was bogus because there were a shitton of similar postings going back to Aug 2 where none of the sellers had been rated. I added that it appeared as if Mercari were listing the fake postings to earn interest off the bogus transactions. They immediately canceled my order, refunded my money, and didn't respond to my accusation. Anyway I had been tracking the shipping number which never progressed from the initial step to see what happens with the shipment. Finally today I checked on the shipment and get below from USPS. So yea, it had to have been a Mercari initiated bogus transaction. There was never a seller because the goods would've never been received by the buyer for the seller to make any money. Tracking Not Displayed Tracking information will not be displayed because this package was shipped with counterfeit postage. Please contact the merchant or seller with any questions.
