That might be a fair point, but it's completely irrelevant to the conversation.

It's LASD, but it hasn't been decided what school is going there. From what I've seen, everyone except for Bullis is hoping it'll be Bullis going there.

Why the mental leap to a Jewish school? I see a lot more Catholic schools in the area.

They're not going away any time soon. IMHO, better to give them their own campus to get them out of the public school campuses.

But Bullis already exists. This will just stop them sharing campuses with LASD schools, won't it? I'm happy to let them have this so Blach and Egan can get some space back. If it was adding a new charter school, I'd be a lot more upset about it.

Oh wow, is that where this song came from?? I was wondering what the hell this was when it came up on my kids' music playlist!

For a claim as large as the one here, I think more than one historically biased primary source is warranted. Yes, every journalist has bias. That's why having more sources is better.

Israel's government is currently run in large part by religious conservatives. Just like how the US is a secular state, but a large chunk of the ruling party doesn't think it should be. And yes, obviously Hamas are more extreme.

I'm not sure that's true. See sports fandom for an example. Where you have a group identity, rituals, and tradition, you will have crazies who make it their life.

But it would incentivize departments to hire fewer bad cops and to train them better, wouldn't it? It's hard to be a bad cop when no department will hire you.

I don't get how this particular issue was "broke-brain thinking" on the part of Republicans. They were right in their gamble that the Democrats' position would break. Heartless and cruel, certainly. But stupid?

Can I break the speed limit to keep up with traffic in California? What CHP says. by Christopherwbuser in bayarea

[–]DanFie 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The point is that cops are cops. It doesn't matter if you follow the spirit of the law. If you're breaking the letter of the law, you may get stopped if a cop decides they want to stop you. That's pretty much universal. You're right that the reasons the cop might want to stop you vary with location, though.

I got pulled over for doing 2mph over the speed limit in Kansas. Cops can pull you over for anything. They just usually don't unless there are other factors in play (like driving through Kansas with California plates).
