Most companies wont want to accept the blame.

The military is still going forward with kicking people out, even after all of this is surfacing and our numbers suffer, but our top leaders will never admit they were wrong.

This is it!!! They are far too invested in the narrative that was pushed to admit they jumped the gun and were wrong.

Maybe I'm in the minority, but I would have more trust in a "leader" if they're able to admit they were wrong or acknowledge that the data has changed and they're changing their actions accordingly.

Interestingly, Dr. Paul Offit, who is a CDC advisor, was on CNN not too long ago talking about the booster. He flat out said if you're healthy, there's little to no benefit in getting the newest jab. The video has basically been scrubbed off the internet, but can be found if you do enough digging.

I agree with your statement about a leader who is willing to admit that which you referenced. I would have nothing but respect for someone like that.

Not often we get news like this in my home town. Guy is clearly going away for a long time, no question about that. I can't understand why anyone who was planning such a thing would tell others about it.

That's crazy! …..crazy that he took it that far instead of exploring legal avenues.

Agreed. I think there will be more to it but theirs not many details yet. I wonder if issues have been building and this was the straw that finally broke the camels back. The fact he asked the landlords if Bryce was abusive leads me to think he was suspecting it for a while.

I have some friends who know both families. Some folks say Bryce was a really nice and well mannered guy, but others have posted apparent screenshots of some pretty disrespectful messages. Everyone has said the father was a very friendly and helpful dude.

The devil will be in the details for sure. For a father to go that far suggests there's more to it than simple abuse (…e.g…sociopathic/psychopathic tendencies, etc.).

Is it just the news coverage by News Copter (#), or is everyone now aware LA-area won't chase you, so they just run?

Every department's pursuit policy varies, but we all still chase………especially the California Highway Patrol.

OK, I got a legal question. And yes I understand it might differ from state to state.

I am considering an event of 4 course meal with paired whiskey tasting. I KNOW I can't drive because even if I sipped just a little each I am a lightweight drinker.

I have a friend who is far from a lightweight. He may offer to drive. The road home is lightly traveled and few cross streets. The odds of a problem very small. But not totally irrelevant.

Question is this - "If I am a passenger in his car and know he is a little impaired and I am also impaired would I have any legal issues if stopped for a sobriety test?".

Also wondering if I would be liable if he had an accident and I was a passenger knowingly traveling with him in a legally impaired state.

For the record - I am trying to line up a ride ala Uber (doesn't serve out here but we have locals who earn a few bucks on the side). Seriously do not plan on chancing this if we go unless a 3rd friend of ours who is a recovering alky (as in not a drop in 30 years) is the driver. More of a rhetorical question.

Great question!

When it comes to impairment, simply consuming an alcoholic beverage doesn't mean you're automatically too impaired to operate a motor vehicle. Some people can consume multiple drinks before they reach the level that will earn them a DUI. As a passenger, your sobriety is irrelevant since you're not operating the vehicle. Additionally, there's no liability on your part if he were to be involved in a traffic collision. The decision to drive (…or not) is solely the operator's responsibility.

Thanks. But that makes too much sense to be true.

I would love to be inside the cops heads to hear their thoughts when this happens. or when they run into a "sovereign citizen".

We love giving our K9 partners something to chew on. They salivate at the opportunity. Lol!

The sovereign types are fun too. We know it'll be play time.

[vreihen16]

I heard a K9 officer refer to his partner as a fur missile, and this is probably why.....

Great job from a SWAT team saving a K-9 about to be shot in the head.
