UnitedHealth Group Is Under Criminal Investigation for Possible Medicare Fraud
I love that maga will get the day they voted for and deserve. I hate that they dragged all the rest of us in with them.

BREAKING: Defense Department reinstates gender-affirming care for trans troops
Don't worry, it's not as bad as it sounds. I'm sure MPD is the only department like this, and you couldn't compile similar results from an identical evaluation of countless other departments. I'm certain of it.
This specific statement was clearly a troll.
I have NO expectation that they have or will "leak anything of substance."
"Intensive policing"
I'm not sure I agree with your original assertion nor your conclusion, but it's a fair argument! Intensive policing as the defense for this graph seems like a bit of a euphemism to me.

That's a fair criticism!
You might be correct but you are clearly in an area of expertise that is beyond mine, so I'm going to let the other folks arguing about it argue about it. 🙂
OK. Are both lines calculated with that same metric? If so it's still apples to apples.
The legend states what you have pointed out. (no it doesn't I misremembered, my bad) BUT STILL, maybe an editor thought the headline was too long?
Jokes on you I stole that one! 😉
Yep, I spent all of 2020 watching police escalate and beat protesters, all with maga yip yapping about cities "burned to the ground" and insisting that what I saw with my own eyes was not what I saw with my own eyes.
Won't ever look at cops the same again. I was already beginning to realize they weren't like I was raised to believe (in the bubble of privilege I grew up in) but 2020 made a lasting, permanent change.
I treat every single interaction with police, no matter how casual, like an event to be exited as soon as possible, and as if it could turn violent at any moment.
Police testimony without bodycame will = hearsay when next I'm called for jury duty.
Justice Department moves to cancel police reform settlements reached with Minneapolis and Louisville
Protests about police brutality are met with wave of police brutality across US
Minnesota Department of Human Rights report on MPD. (Conducted after the George Floyd event) I suggest spending some time on page 38.
Also:
100% acknowledged! I did momentarily struggle with that, but it's a high traffic community and doesn't have a rule disallowing such posts, so I tried to focus on that.
Loose fit for this community? Maybe. Never hurts to have a reminder though, given that Trump is undoing all the federal police reforms proposed as a result.

What it actually is is that they have strapped us all (including themselves) to the flaming wreckage of our nation that they themselves created, and have been laughing maniacally as it plummets from the sky, while the rest of us scream in terror.
Now they are starting to scream in terror, and I'm just about ready to start with the maniacal laughter.
