Contact your local federal law enforcement office as this is a National law and under the purview of the FBI. She’ll think twice about ignoring you next time. Thank you for your service 🙏

What a strong, brave stance. I’m sure those thoughts and prayers will really make a change. You know, as opposed to leading by example and making fundamental changes to the way CT does policing. Or we can keep breaking peoples’ necks in the back of police vans

Yes that’s why I said they need to be vetted first, now in the US every power hungry asshole can be police in 6 months and “enforce” the law.

Marty's in middletown I've heard good things about. Kensington automotive is an honest guy too. If you have a European car, Tripple B in Berlin is also excellent. I just don't like Kensington auto because he doesn't let me supply my own parts.

Literally never had a bad experience with another Subaru driver on the road. You can say this about any car brand and people will flock to the comments to staunchly agree and vehemently disagree with you

this will never happen thanks to the Fraternal Order of Police.
i’ll never get past the irony that the venn diagram of people who defend cops and people who hate unions is usually a circle

Why would you take away one of the few incentives people have to be cops?

The entire thing needs to be completely overhauled tbh. It requires exactly 0 months of training to know that you don't need to beat to death a guy who can't even fucking defend himself anymore.

I've almost been hit by other boats in an actual boat I would not trust these old inattentive fucks to see a swimmer trying to cross a river that is mainly 1/4mile wide, not to mention the current.
If you want to swim in the river there are little "beaches" here and there scattered about that are pretty safe and clean. The river has postings on water quality. Hamburg cove is very popular for swimming.
Don't go in in the river for a week after heavy rain though it gets littered with logs and junk.

I have never seen an Infiniti drive normally. Always aggressively speeding, weaving, and tail-gating.

The CT state police have a history of protecting and covering up for their own who commit crimes on and off duty. It happens constantly with officers who get in drunken crashes. This is a hollow statement, but the fact that they felt the need to issue it means they're actually a little worried about the repercussions of what happened in Memphis.
The thin blue line isnt protecting them nearly as much when everything these days is caught on video and can't be denied.

Why do lawyers need 4-8 years of schooling to practice law if you only need 6 months of training to enforce it at gunpoint?

There is no "oath to protect and serve", as affirmed by the "justice" system. The police have no obligation to protecto OR serve you, only to keep you in line. These guys are getting torched because they made it too obvious and endangered the racket.

If you are traveling and can wait until you get to your destination most airports in Europe will have a Bureau de Change or setup your ATM card so you can withdraw monies that way. You will get the best exchange rate. American banks will have a high rate of exchange plus other fees.
