Nobody was talking about the US, its completely irrelevant for how abusive the UK police force is.
Where are the independent rearches into other police organizations then if others dont cultivate the same problems? Oh wait they dont exist? Shocking. almost as if its a broader police problem, especially since this problem goes as far as special protection units at the top.
You really going to believe them on their blue eyes when all independant evidence points towards the opposite?

That would explain it, I’m not interested in music enough to justify knowing song or band names with the exception of the most popular ones.

"The puppy's owner met with the man outside a Brampton home, when the man allegedly stole the animal at gunpoint."
-so, the victim is the one saying that.

Seinfeld? Is that like a tv show? Kinda sounds like one. My school also never talked about drugs so openly. So I have no idea what you’re talking about.
I learned it from an anime that is based in industrial Britain, they briefly referenced the opium drug problem they had at the time.

Literally everyone in America knows this. Mostly from Seinfeld, but I also learned it at least 37 times from other kids in school.

Do we know he was trying to steal the puppy or is that just what the cops said

The point being made is that the UK is far, far better at holding its officers to account than the US. There have indeed been institutional failings in the Met (an abbreviation for Metropolitan, not an acronym, by the way) but that's just one police force and those issues are now getting rectified.

Feel free to provide statistics of your claim that 2.8% of teachers and doctors are also "pretty bad". I would also catagorize systemic rape and rapist protection systemically (again according to the MET themselves) is a bit worse than "pretty bad". If the army did it it wouldve been a warcrime.

Not everyone knows that opium comes from poppy plant.
It might be more common knowledge with Europeans because of their trade history. But i don’t think its that well known in America.

The purge happened because people kept keeping their jobs after reports, and it only happened with the MET, only a few months ago. The MET themselves saying that there is a culture problem, meaning MET cops still aren't held accountable and that number is likely to increase more.
So yea my response is that, because its one of the few quantifyable datapoints we have about the corrupt police force.
Oink oink.

Ah fair enough, "the sack" is a very common phrase here in the UK.

For about 3 seconds I was imagining him trapped inside a sack and struggling to get out.

Executive orders like that can't be used to create statutes or impose sentences. Congress has to pass laws on it (current law appears to only be limited to bombings). Individual states may have specific laws about damaging infrastructure.

The bottom 2.8% percent of anything is usually pretty bad, including teachers and doctors...
Police work attracts many unsavory individuals who are drawn to the power, violence, and immunity from consequences that the job offers. Good police force tries to weed out these people, bad embraces them....

My thoughts too. Dogs hanging their head out the window is actually dangerous especially with an impulsive dog who could jump without thinking. A harness attached to a dog seatbelt in the back seat is the way to go. Keeps the dogs stable and safe and there’s definitely no need for someone else to be sitting there watching it in that case. I’d be for the law if this is all it was. In Arizona where a lot of people still have the primitive “it’s just a dog” philosophy and leads to a lot of dead dogs on the side of the highway.

This could be to replace the oil that would be present from using actual cream. Bad idea though, as other oils had distinct flavors and don't mix as well as cream, which is naturally emulsified. Just go back to using real cream.
