Re: Officer Friendly.

Tonka: from what I/we saw on that video with Garner, I did not like what I saw either. Nor did that fat, white cop on the video who tried to cool it down (based on my recollection). And yes, the city settled several times on that cop who to Garner down. Inked-up wannabe MMA stars attract bullies, to...

Re: Officer Friendly.

They’d come to the same church on the same night to confront the same dilemma facing this city’s beleaguered police department. But what they wanted from the police couldn’t have been more different. Eight days had passed since the Justice Department issued a scathing review of the Baltimore Police...

Re: Might be car shopping. Thoughts?

....for the sake of easy math, say you pay $30,000 for a car to hold 10 years.... Most people weighing the buy vs lease option aren't thinking about keeping a car for 10 years. Well I kept mine for 16, so perhaps I'm an outlier. Do people buy a car to keep 3 years? We have the last year of the V6 A...

Re: Might be car shopping. Thoughts?

I will go with the likely, unpopular move of sign and drive lease. Hyundai and KIA are killing it and as long as you can deal with a 4 banger, you're in good shape, for cheap. Now to be clear, we own our Santa Fe (loaded and the last year of the V6) and will never 'buy' one of their smaller engine H...

Re: Q for the Republicans

I identify myself as a 'classical liberal' and I wanted my vote to go to Jim Webb (D), he was not to be the guy for the Dems. This will be the third time in a row I am voting against someone (Hillary, this time) vs. for someone (I don't like Trump, but he is genuine and the lessor of two cunts). So,...

What's surprising is people acting surprised. OK, after seeing Facebook and the media going crazy all day about the two most recent police-involved shootings, I have a little bit of advice for my police friends. For what it's worth, I've been a cop for 21 years and a police trainer since 1997. I ha...

Re: Airbus Aircraft

If you have a logic error in the Bus you have to revert to manual mode. Not a big deal. The Bus is fly by wire, so you need some automation, but Sully flew that Bus with just electrical power that operated the computers and hydraulics. It was designed so it is almost idiot proof. You can't make it ...
