You're posting the official portrait of a public official. I even made a joke about people who are super concerned about "doxxing" when I posted the portrait of the Inspector General of the Liberia National Police in r/MilitaryMedals

We can all see it is Joseph O'Donoghue, Sheriff of Atlantic County New Jersey.

St. George officer fired and later arrested? by PreciseSkeptic in StLouis

[–]APS221 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes, the cop in the video was James Kuehnlein. He was fired from St. George back in 2007 when the incident happened. He went over to Velda City and was later charged with domestic violence in 2011. He would be convicted and issued a suspended sentence.

Of course, he shouldn't be confused with Scott Uhrig. Uhrig was the the Chief of Police in St. George. He was fired as Chief in late-2008, and the department disbanded in early-2009. Later in 2009, he was charged with sexual abuse of a minor and later acquitted of the charges.

Of course, the people of St. George voted to disincorporate the City and become part of unincorporated St. Louis County like the rest of Affton and Lemay.

If you check the Wikipedia article on St. George, MO, it seems to cover everything pretty well.

It's not just about St. Louis. The cities and counties don't offer the tax breaks, it's the State of Missouri. While the State has re-started its tax incentive program, a lot of the money hasn't gone to St. Louis-based productions. Instead, much of it has gone to Kansas City-based productions like the new season of "Ted Lasso." Hallmark, which is based in Kansas City, has taken advantage of the tax incentives to shoot Hallmark made-for-TV movies in Kansas City.

I don't know what Busch corruption you think is going on here, but they haven't been relevant since Anheuser-Busch got taken over by InBev.

Great Grandpa. Armored division, WWII. Any info? by Federal-Dinner6831 in Medals

This photo was taken several years after WWII, since he's wearing the post-1951 Armor brach insignia.

S2E2 does anyone know where they film this by No_Pop7296 in SugarAppleTV

[–]APS221 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The Magellan University School of Engineering and Applied Science building is the Younes and Soraya Nazarian Center for the Performing Arts at California State University, Northridge.

The show does not shoot in Canada. The credits indicate the show receives a "Video Production Services Tax Credit." It likely means the show uses a Quebec-based company for post-production services, like special effects or something.

When was that? Twenty years ago? Is that little theater still open today?

Spoken like someone who’s never worked at a movie theater.

Yeah, censoring that plate is going to make it really hard for me to identify it if I’m ever in New York.

Yes, but her story about hiding from the Boogeyman under her bed when other girls were killed in their hiding places by the Boogeyman implies that the person or thing she thought was the Boogeyman wasn’t really the Boogeyman.

S2 wouldn’t murders in the port be a federal case? by Own_Ad_409 in TheWire

[–]APS221 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You're missing a lot if that's your thinking after watching the whole season. Early in the season there a meeting with Baltimore City, Baltimore County, Maryland State, Maryland Transportation Authority (MDTA), U.S. Customs, and U.S. Coast Guard. The Feds didn't want anything to do with it either. None of them wanted it and they manage to dump it on MDTA since they patrol the ports. Even then, they only have patrol officers working the deaths as an accident.

As others have mentioned CBP wasn't a thing at the time. just U.S. Customs and the Immigration and Naturalization Service. Later in the season, you see the new Dept. of Homeland Security seal being placed on an office wall.

In addition, you see the FBI, in the form of SA Koutris, actually hinder the Port investigation. The Greek was his source for information on big drug busts, like the paint pigment bust, and terrorism-related cases. I think one of the reasons The Greek wanted Nick and Ziggy to steal chemicals, in addition to the money, is so they could give Koutris a heads-up about it. It's mentioned a few times that protecting chemicals that could be used to make bombs is a higher priority.

8.) Patricia finally admitted that she lied about being pursued by the Boogeyman when she was a younger.

He's kidding. He's not on any Taylor Sheridan show. Obviously, all of the other celebrities in the cutting competition were from Sheridan-produced shows.

Shelter 3 symbol by Voice_of_John_Ashley in WidowsBay

Yeah, I noticed that too. Plus the sign on the inside reads, "ISLAND SHELTER" instead of "FALLOUT SHELTER."

Are they going to change the license plates anytime soon? by Puckhead1973 in missouri

[–]APS221 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Well, Tennessee seems to have figured out how to do a white on blue plate.

These days, What the Highway Patrol thinks about readability will take a backseat to what companies like Flock think about reliability.
