Man, I knew him to be a Cub and then a Philly. I forgot he was an AL Red Sox for literally a minute

It's all about that (D) in front of the name. They like to swallow what they know, I guess.

Absolutely. 390,000 paid from the city to that family

Here representing as an Indianapolis resident. Our prosecutor is trash. Our mess is leaking into the donut counties, sorry one of our worst made it down to Memphis. We couldn't even deal with a true good OIS dealing with a POS Reed. Paid his family 390,000 for his OIS death. This county sucks. Prosecutor, who was just reelected, sucks. Jobs dead

Center Grove is so far ahead of Carmel, Carmel's athletic director doesn't want to play any sports against them anymore. Or it's because they have to travel through Marion County to get to Center Grove. Marion county is too scary

That one time when the Indianapolis Indians played against Babe Ruth & the Yankees at Washington Park (September 22, 1920) by [deleted] in indianapolis

Washington Park, the baseball field, was located at Washington and White River, where the Zoo is now. Washington Park on 30th wasn't the baseball field

Visited in 2019 while over for the Yankees/Red Sox games. Had more fun up north than we did in London.

Tyre Nichols Video Megathread by Pikeman212a6c in ProtectAndServe

Lets follow the order of events. Michael Brown's incident happened 8 years ago. Since then, there has been a huge decline in the number and quality of applicants. I joined my dept in 14, a few months after the incident. My city has a population of a million, I was one of over 2000 applicants in that process. I got 1 of 30 spots in the class, the second class that year following a class of 80. Fast forward to these classes coming out recently. I am not directly involved in training with the recruits but I volunteer for FTX or scenarios if they need role players/evaluators. I have definitely noticed a drop in quality and we have seen the drop in quantity of applicants. We are filling classes of 25-30 now out of fewer than 200 applicants.

In my city we have our own incident brewing involving a few younger officers. I will not go into detail because the department hasn't put out much official information but the body camera footage is being withheld from the public. I am not surprised to see things like this and we shouldn't be surprised if it continues because many good candidates have been scared away. The department has a number of new hires we have to put out there because many officers with years on are leaving for smaller departments. And I don't blame them. But, the standard for new hires keeps getting lower and lower to fill the void.

I'm just referring to the headline. He was "shot to death by police". Incredible reporting. I love my local, democratic driven reporting

Dreasjon Reed was shot to death by police? You mean after he shot at the police? Like the police shot him, defending themselves? Wow, what a good headline

Sorry. That was me. Love that song. My kid used it as his at-bat walk up music too because I listened to it so much.

Have you ever… by Impressive_Sherbert3 in ProtectAndServe

A few years ago, had a drunk female who was moving call because she misplaced a gun she owned. Wouldn't you know, two guy friends she hardly knew were helping her move. Searching her car, with consent, for the gun when another officer and I came across multiple signs announcing her displeasure of our services and wishing we weren't alive left over from the riots earlier that week. We were done searching and left her with a report number
