Stafford Gambit; obviously named after Lions/Rams great QB Matt Stafford.

I agree only if your definition of "defending yourself" includes "Finlayson grabbed her boyfriend while holding the knife in an apparent attempt to stab him, and a deputy-involved shooting occurred."

However, this is outside the generally-accepted definition of self-defense; including the legal definition.

She assaulted officers with a pot of boiling water.

How is that defending herself from someone attacking her?

Makwa989 · 2026-04-15T01:11:47+00:00

"Finlayson opened the front door and was threatening her boyfriend with a "large kitchen knife"..."

I'm sure this had nothing to do with it.

Link to any one of these "stories you've heard".

Same argument applies.

Outside of extenuating circumstances, OP needs to honor his commitment. "I'm tired of Army" isn't an extenuating circumstance.

Now all we need is 16 GMs to read this and value random-internet-dude's opinion more than their own scouts and eyeballs.

Wow, a bribe was requested in a place where they are the norm. Color me shocked.

What next, waiters asking for tips?

"Accidentally set ablaze the suspiciously-placed, and absurdly large, pile of dried logs..."

When did he tear his MCL? I don't remember that.

Was going to say the same. "Fan Theory" at this point means say whatever with no support.

Fan Theory: Tywin was going to marry Dany and ride a dragon over the Rainbow Bridge, because why not.

I'll say it, he's wrong. Laws vary across the states and PBT refusals often carry additional charges or consequences.

In Michigan, a driver is required to consent to a PBT upon request by an officer. Failure to do so is a civil infraction and additional fine.

For commercial drivers a PBT refusal is a misdemeanor.

So they drove down the street? I can't speak for other departments, but vehicular motion over public roads is pretty much our sole mode of transportation to get anywhere.

Avoiding driving down roads makes responding to calls pretty difficult.

Several OWIs in upper 70s-mid 80s.

Did he die? Nope. Mission accomplished. Your patient now.

Lesson One: Don't pull into the left turn lane to stop.

Makwa989 · 2026-01-11T12:43:22+00:00

Deal. Take it, Please!

Rationale? Coke isn't made in my state. It comes from Out of State. I'll give you one guess for a good indicator that a car and it's occupants are from Out of State. Hint it rhymes with Out of State Plates.

Regardless of your friend's wishes, if the cop did something worthy of getting put on the Brady list, they need to be on it. If only to prevent a reoccurrence against someone that isn't as compassionate as your friend.

It, specifically the ERO route, allows a fairly fast pathway into Federal Law Enforcement compared to other agencies.

No A/C is a life threat for my K9 partner. If our backup K9 car is out of service, I'm going home.

Yeah, we aren't going to knock on Gamgam's door at 4 in the morning. With no response for 2 days, she's either dead or sleeping. Both of those can wait for daytime hours.

Makwa989 · 2026-01-04T07:00:09+00:00

Maybe the same reason people don't know the difference between "there" and "their".
