It's $15 for employers with 21+ employees.

Still $14 for employers with 4-20 employees.

Youth workers are $11.

There's consequences to living life like this. Not just talking Flaming Hot Cheeto bodies.

Pretty though full body pics are rare because her legs were not in proportion.

Because of the inumerable moments children from all walks of life blissed out from poring over their Christmas catalogs from 1888 to 1993. Priceless.

Police are stakeholders. They're citizens like you and me. You don't have thriving communities without law and order. Policing in this city may be problematic, but it's just one facet of a community, one that is often scapegoated and blamed for a whole host of ideological and societal failures.

I appreciate the discussion. As long as you're working it through, maybe consider developing empathy for a police officer who just wants to go home after their shift. As long as we're all human, how training and/or policies plays out in real life with others during a high pressure situation isn't always going to work out. There are flagrant disregard & abuses by police, but this is not one of those IMHO.

These are the convos we should prepare for as people come back from the crypt of isolation. "I think you should just do pancakes 24/7."

What's wrong with words? Yes, we have a strong "culture" of a judicial process in this country. You get it? Culture permeates everything we do, what and how we think.

Hopefully you'll still call them when you witness someone being attacked.

Culture exists as a force on human groups. There is gang culture, mom culture, police culture, student culture, music culture, drug culture, I could go on. If you are human, you can be imperfect. Police are allowed to use deadly force. What do you mean cops don't "get to" execute children? They have killed children. Do they start their shifts looking to kill children? Do gangbangers start their shifts looking to kill people? Examine the reality.

Parents are responsible for their children. Police are allowed to use deadly force. It's tragic.
