It's just a few bad apples, right?

Interesting story in the WSJ this morning saying that at this point authorities have no idea who set most of the fires in the twin cities and now the ATF has two groups of agents investigating. Anyone out there have any theories?Originally posted by BobbyBrady

I hate when I'm cynical in cases like this, but when Derek Chauvin was arrested AND his wife filed for divorce, something seemed a little off; like, it wasn't being done because she realized what an a**hole he is.
And sure enough, here's the reason. She can now (likely) sit pretty with a portion of his pension...

She could divorce him ten years from now and still have that same right to a portion of his pension. She doesn't need to do it now.Originally posted by aparch View Post
Edit. Another fun fact (and another reason I'm pretty sure the pension is not the reason for the divorce). PERA benefits in Minnesota are "exempt" assets, I believe, which means that a creditor (like Floyd's family) can't go out and take them.Last edited by SJHovey; 06-12-2020, 08:49 AM.That community is already in the process of dissolution where each man begins to eye his neighbor as a possible enemy, where non-conformity with the accepted creed, political as well as religious, is a mark of disaffection; where denunciation, without specification or backing, takes the place of evidence; where orthodoxy chokes freedom of dissent; where faith in the eventual supremacy of reason has become so timid that we dare not enter our convictions in the open lists, to win or lose.Comment

I assume the primary reason for the divorce now is to divide the assets and debts before Chauvin incurs massive debts as a result of this incident in the form of legal bills and a possible judgment obtained by Floyd's family.That community is already in the process of dissolution where each man begins to eye his neighbor as a possible enemy, where non-conformity with the accepted creed, political as well as religious, is a mark of disaffection; where denunciation, without specification or backing, takes the place of evidence; where orthodoxy chokes freedom of dissent; where faith in the eventual supremacy of reason has become so timid that we dare not enter our convictions in the open lists, to win or lose.Comment

Confessions of a Former Bastard Cop
For all the idiots who believe it is just a few bad apples, the blood is on your hands. Changing law enforcement in this country is going to be a huge undertaking, something that might take as much effort as building the interstate system. I hope it doesn't take that long. Enough unarmed people of color have already died.In fact, let me tell you about an extremely formative experience: in my police academy class, we had a clique of around six trainees who routinely bullied and harassed other students: intentionally scuffing another trainee’s shoes to get them in trouble during inspection, sexually harassing female trainees, cracking racist jokes, and so on. Every quarter, we were to write anonymous evaluations of our squadmates. I wrote scathing accounts of their behavior, thinking I was helping keep bad apples out of law enforcement and believing I would be protected. Instead, the academy staff read my complaints to them out loud and outed me to them and never punished them, causing me to get harassed for the rest of my academy class. That’s how I learned that even police leadership hates rats. That’s why no one is “changing things from the inside.” They can’t, the structure won’t allow it.Comment

If he’s fully vested in his pension, this is akin to your or my 401k/403b. I don’t really see how I can get chuffed over this.Originally posted by aparch View Post"The party told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears. It was their final, most essential command." George Orwell, 1984

Indianapolis also did this a few days ago. Now we will need to stay vigilant to keep the right from declaring this illegal. Remember for years, working with the NRA and other ammosexuals the right prevented federal entities like the CDC from investigating and studying firearm violence as a public health crisis. Let's not let that happen here.Originally posted by SonofSouthie View PostComment
