Awesome! I called them earlier and they're supposed to get back to me. Thank you

If anyone has any information about this f-ing scumbag from our very own backyard here in RVa: "Officials said their investigation and anyone with information about the case should contact Detective Josh Ontko at 951-353-7135 or JOntko@RiversideCA.gov, or Detective Bryan Galbreath at 951-353-7105 or BGalbreath@RiversideCA.gov. Those wishing to remain anonymous can email RPDTips@RiversideCA.gov. "

From WTVR6: "Edwards was a Virginia State Police Trooper from July 2021 until his resignation last month. He was assigned to Henrico County, Virginia, according to a Virginia State Police spokesperson. The reason for his resignation was not disclosed."

Why not disclose why he resigned?

Yes, thank you for articulating what I couldn't! Reminds me of when my roommate begrudgingly venmo'd me for shoes her cat ruined with the comment "for shoes that got cat pee on them", haha.

I don't think I would assume that, and I'd say the majority of people I know have positive feelings towards firefighters. I would say, though, that you might not want the association with the thin blue line image.

It’s called the “passive exonerative” and it’s basically in the damn style guide for reporting on any misdoings by members of LE in the media in order to minimize the relationship between the involvement or responsibility of LE and the ensuing crime or result.

It’s completely maddening but once you see it, you’ll start seeing it everywhere.

Recent examples include the case where a teenager fleeing her kidnapper was shot by LE, phrases like “the firearm was discharged, resulting in the death of XYZ”. Who exactly fired that firearm huh? Have the guns achieved sentience?

Meanwhile, same scenario with anyone BUT LE and you’ll see headlines like “crazed maniac murders good white Christians” (with the subtext being “vote Republican to stave off the Antifa takeover”)

It’s a form of manufacturing consent.

Correct, but we can agree the suns light becomes visible ~ 1 hour before actual sunrise on the horizon??

Clearly you didn't see the comment in this thread containing a statement from his current employer.

Clearly you didn’t read the whole article as they stated he worked their 10 months after graduating from the academy

That's all good! The MDF from Walmart feels like compressed paper lol I know there's better MDF out there for sure

Used to be a topless donut shop in Maine

"the media" doesn't even mention that he's a cop, though? They beat around the bush a whole lot for "jumping at any chance to shame a cop".

again. you are thinking very small minded. you are only looking at a very small piece of the pie and focusing solely on a very very small minority of people. the vast majority of the people you say are in that 2nd group do not think that way at all. the people you put in group one have killed just as many people in far more violent protests. i suggest you stop looking at social media for your news. come up with your own opinions instead of parroting what you hear on reddit and network news.

>Cops murder all the time. Its their exclusive right and borderline mandate. Excluding soldiers because The Enemy isnt people of course

Having done the Army thing, my experience is that soldiers are WAY more responsible than the median police officer. It's amazing what even the pretense of oversight will do.

Yea, we're not trying to salvage the current cabinetry for exactly the reasons you mention.

We would like to stay as far under 10k as possible. Demolition should be covered by HOA, and depending on how legal process goes they might even be responsible for the cabinetry.

Confirm budget yet, this has all kind of sprung up.

Perhaps, but reporters report facts, not present assumptions as facts

Y’all numbskulls love bashing cops. The reality is that there are nut jobs in every single profession that can hide it really well. 99.9% of cops that you don’t hear about are normal working people. Of course the media is gonna jump at any chance to shame a cop so y’all can take the bait.

R.I.P to the family but damn poor girl. This should be a reminder to always monitor what your kid is doing

I can't stand what this city is becoming.

I agree, you can get decent looking stuff from IKEA if you avoid the cheapest options, and adding nicer knobs is an easy way to upgrade the look of a dresser or nightstand.

Carpenter for 15 years and ops manager for a cabinet company for the last 6 where I oversaw anywhere from 1000-1500 installs a year. Lowes and HD both sell the exact same name brand lines as every big local cabinet company in the area with the only difference being the local places get a couple extra finish options and door styles.

Never said there aren't good installers. I'm saying the local cabinet companies don't use any of the good ones. To get a decent install you'd have to find a decent designer, installer, and play GC yourself because you're not going to get that as a package for a single remodel.

Maybe try the new HomeSense in Short Pump (like HomeGoods but they have more bigger pieces of furniture). Not sure if they offer any sort of delivery service though.

>i really want to, i believe that it would make me feel so much better. but right now i have to choose between financial stability and my mental well-being.. it’s a shitty situation to be in

Was in the same boat a little over a year ago, left a terrible job at a toxic work environment (employer's name rhymed with BloStar) with nothing lined up. It took me 4 months of searching, but I'm now infinitely happier, have much greater flexibility, better pay, more engagement, yadda yadda. Not everyone can afford to go without a paycheck for 4 months, so YMMV. If I had to do it over, I would have put more effort into jobhunting while at my previous employer, but I just didn't have the emotional energy.

The fuck you mean "it's not who we are as a country now"?

You been in a coma from 2012 until yesterday??

There's 2 groups of people in this country: the first group is opposed to slavery, racism, homophobia, transphobia, xenophobia, fascism, and racially motivated vigilantes. The 2nd group supports all of those things.

The 2nd group elected the 45th president. The 2nd group tried to overthrow the government in a violent insurrection that resulted in the murders of 4 cops. The 2nd group has gone in record as wanting to make it illegal to marry someone of the same gender, illegal to marry someone of a different race, illegal to have access to lifesaving healthcare and prenatal care, illegal to read certain books, illegal to TEACH THAT AMERICA WAS BUILT BY RACIST SLAVE OWNERS.

One 1 group would ever deny the historical facts that this country was "discovered" by racist slavers, founded by racist slavers, spent the next few hundred years run by racist slavers and racist deacendants of slavers writing all the laws, and its not the first group of educated, compassionate people.
