One of the headlines on that screenshot:

"NYPD cop nicknamed 'Legs' gets fired for drug use - but lawyer claims he was only exposed because he was wearing shorts while on job."

They were trolling Althouse.

'Men in shorts' tag sadly missed.

The Germans have a word for this.

There's a reason English Protestants call Catholicism the Scarlet Woman.

So are the trumps white powder threat being investigated as bigoted hate crimes?

Is gluttony still a deadly sin, or just deadly?

Like most disasters, there is a long list of places where the authorities failed.

Yet one political party wants everyone to rely on the authorities.

Back when the authorities disapproved of their members, of course, it was different.

Deputy who didn’t stop Florida shooting thinks he ‘did a good job’

The sheriff’s deputy who failed to engage the shooter at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School “believed he did a good job” because he called in the location of the massacre and gave a description of the shooter, a top union official said Thursday...

Sheriff Israel suspended Peterson without pay before the 33-year vet abruptly retired...

Peterson had been the resource officer at Douglas High School since 2009 and made a base annual salary of $75,673.72 as of 2016, according to sheriff’s office records cited by the Sun-Sentinel newspaper.

That base salary, however, doesn’t include longevity and first-responder bonuses that probably brought Peterson’s non-overtime pay closer to $80,000, according to Bell.

Peterson’s pension will be 75 percent of the average of his top five earning years while on the job, the union head said.

I suspect it would take more courage to enter the building where shots are being heard than it would to fight back if already inside and trapped.

The three Americans who stopped the French train shooter were right there.

... this is like that Lifelock commercial where the bank guard is only a security monitor and doesn't stop the robbery, and the dentist finds cavities but does' fill them. Now we add a "first responder" who first responds only to call it in again.
