Old Man

Children do stupid things, much like I did when I was that age.  One of the people here is a trained, armed, and armored cop.  One is a child.  As the owner of a thirteen-year-old, I feel like we can do better than expecting stupid children to somehow not be stupid.

I may have missed the part where the victim was a violent criminal.  Did he shoot someone?  Did he shoot at someone?  Is it remotely possible that gunshot residue could have come from another firearm, one that was pointed directly at him from ten feet away when it was fired?
 
I understand that interpretations vary, even when things are on video, but this is what I saw:
 
Cop: "Stop!  Drop the gun!"
 
Kid: stops, drops the gun
 
Cop: shoots
 
Kid: dies

Opinions vary, but I think we should absolutely be shocked when a nonthreatening child with “no choice” gets killed by a cop. And I am interested in systemic changes to prevent incidents like this from happening again.  I can’t settle for “well, that’s the situation”.  
 
Can somebody remind me again what heinous crime Toledo was suspected of that kicked off the pursuit in the first place?

I do not have the time or inclination to watch yet another Beau video no matter how wise or insightful he is.  Can someone post the cliffs notes?

I had my first jab today, the Astra Zeneca jab. In and out very quickly.
 
Just one thing. When do the lime green elephants stop dancing ?

Remember to watch WandaVision.

I'm in a 5e campaign now.  Got my paladin up to 6th level before I picked up a PHB (Amazon had a 50% off sale).  I then realized I have no flippin' idea how to play D&D. 
 
But yeah, not only is it class based, the classes are wack.  Although bards and monks are still OP so that's the same.

Rhein Fire (NFL Europe)

I still prefer Football Team. It’s ironic and hilarious. That team went from having the worst name to the best. 
 
I find most of the other suggestions in the list to be uninspired, though the Football Club ones are amusing. DC cries out for a team name like Revolutionaries or Privateers. I’d especially like them to be called the Conspirators, but that may be too accurate. 

Hubby got me a very stylish purple fedora this week that I'm going to try to dress up around for. ❤️
 
I still wear an analog wristwatch.  It has Bulbasaur on it.  It was the 1st thing I ever purchased off of eBay.

I saw it put as “it’s not okay for the untrained civilian to panic, but it’s fine if the trained cop with the gun does”.

CBS reported that the Washington Football Team has been reaching out to fans on options for a new team name. Here are the options:
 
Aces
Ambassadors
Anchors
Archers
Armada
Aviators
Beacons
Belters
Brigade
Commanders
Defenders
Demon Cats
First City Football Club (FCFC)
Griffins
Guardians
Icons
Majors
Monarchs
Pilots
Presidents
Razorbacks
Redtails
Redwolves
Red Hogs
Renegades
Riders 
Rising
Royals
Rubies
Swifts
Warriors
Washington DC Football Club (DCFC)
Washington Capital City Football Club (CCFC)
Wayfarers
Wild Hogs
32FC (W32)
Football Team
 
Honestly, I think the names "Monarchs" and "Royals" are in poor taste, but whatever. I do find FCFC, DCFC, and CCFC perversely entertaining. I have no idea what 32FC is all about.
 
I think my Top Five would be Redtails, Defenders, Wild Hogs, Aces, and Aviators in no particular order.

I still wear a hat with a suit on occasion.
