That reflects my 35 years spent with my agency, and knowledge of other local agencies. It has gotten so much worse since 2008, when the bandages got ripped off the scab of racism and it began to run free.
Given what you’ve told us about them, Ally, I doubt they were persuadable anyway. They’re just looking for something that doesn’t look racist and misogynistic to justify supporting Trump. Which they were going to do anyway.
I think your assessment is accurate. I just jousted with a couple veteran friends (both former trainees of mine) who see no difference in their perception of Tim Walz's "lies about his rank" and the lies spouted by fpotus.
mer t, I agree with you. At least, the “Swiftboating” of Walz appears not to be working.
Too many Minnesotans like him for that to be allowed to work.
Sad to say, it is having a resounding success with my retired LE friends.
That is troublesome. LE has to be of sound mind to serve the public's interests. Evidence-based.
"The Party told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears. It was their final, most essential command."
I don't think that was ever the case with the majority of those in the field.

I hate it when reality lives down to my expectations.

How depressing.

LE?
Law enforcement.
Their accusations are pretty self-evidently an absurd stretch.
Good 👍
