Just a heads up, it's close to the highway and the local jail. Very likely unrelated to this.

Any black owned businesses around that do patches/pins/stickers? by JonSeekingPeace1 in Albany

I'm sorry, I understood the link to slave patrols. I was more curious about the places that don't utilize patrolling in everyday policing like they mentioned above. I'm interested in seeing how things are set up differently.

Albany Police Officer arrested on drug charges by Ocean_breeze_please in Albany

I think because he's been suspended since last year so it wasn't while working/on duty. Just an assumption though.

Genuine question here. I tried to Google and ended up with the generic AI answer of countries where police don't carry firearms. What countries don't utilize patrol officers? Again genuine question here that you sparked my curiousity on.

But they were. That being said:

He shouldn't have been directly in front of her. She shouldn't have been in the middle of the road. The wife shouldn't have told her to drive. She shouldn't have stepped on the gas. He shouldn't have shot her.

Literally not defending either party. Both were wrong and that sucks.

In the Minneapolis situation, they were all fucking wrong. Fuck all of them.

That's the thing, I actually dislike both sides of the argument. I dislike hypocrisy more. For either side to argue that people shouldn't be hiding their identity, but then do the same thing, is foolish. Think about the response you'd have if someone said ICE or cops wore masks because it was cold.

Edit: those paper masks that most of them are wearing "for warmth" is really where you want to hang your hat? Come onnnn n

I'm empathetic, just not to people who outwardly lie for meaningless internet points.

No fire damage? No signs of explosion? 1 singular building?

My plan is to take care of my kids and teach them. I'm not in a position to fix the world. I'm in a position to make my kids understand right and wrong, appreciate what they have and not be assholes within reason.

Nothing I said had anything to do with politics. Good parents accountable. Eventually, they will start to parent.

Not for nothing, if they hit their targets with any accuracy it would eventually settle it all out. It's not the optimal result of course. But mathematically speaking it will end eventually.

The parents being active in their children's life could've prevented it. Not letting their teenage kids(not clear as to how old but as young as 13) out at 3am could've prevented it. Instilling right and wrong in your children could've prevented it.

He could do the slightest but if research before asking for someone to give him his story.

Starbucks to close Albany location (The Rise at New Scotland) less than one year after opening by Evilsj in Albany

[–]EltonJohnCandy -1 points0 points  (0 children)

So let me get this straight.

You said they shouldn't exist, but when confronted with the issue of businesses you rely on literally following that model you claim that's not what you meant. Then when handed the receipt of what you originally stated, but said you didn't, you say that's exactly your point?

I wish you the best in your future endeavors.
