The SWAT guys interviewed by the review investigation said the Taylor detectives screwed up everything and should have been shot since they were all standing in the door when they went in to arrest. Then they screwed up the after action. And the detective in charge was trying to file eight arrest warrants at the same time. SWAT was like hold your roll. And they went for this warrant anyway without threat assessment, or backup

Variation of an old joke which I saw updated on YouTube: How many Trump supporters does it take to screw in a light bulb? None. Trump just says it’s screwed in, and they’ll all stand in the dark and cheer.

Not a bad guess ... I was originally thinking along those lines ... but our Alien adversary pick is ... Gozer the Gozerian!

Transsexual Satanist Anarchist Wins Republican Nomination

DiMezzo is the High Priestess of the Reformed Satanic Church. Her campaign slogan was "F*** the Police".
 
She attributes her win to voter stupidity in not researching the candidates and what they stand for.

At the end of the second day everyone should have a base, organization of backers, and a monster of some type. I'm not good with the humor like Hermit and Log's WWE style commentators, but let's look at the picks and see what we got.
 
I grabbed up Project M, creator of the Creature Commandos for DC Comics. While active in both theaters during WW2, the main lab was established in New York City.
 
First pick is Tohru, a thirty foot to fifty foot tall dragon posing as a maid in the middle of her home city. She's buff, tough, and doesn't mind setting things on fire.
 
Psybolt grabbed Monarch for his organization. I don't know who that is but I am going to say its from the Venture Brothers. His base is Derry, Maine. Home of It and the Tommy Knockers. His first pick is Pennywise as the master of shapes and menace living under Derry. I am going to say a lot more King monsters are in store from this drafter.
 
Dr. Mid-nite came out with a region of Japan and the Science Patrol as his organization. Interesting pick since the team is the alien Ultraman's helpers and fight homegrown monsters and aliens plaguing Japan and the world.
 
No word on his first pick yet.
 
Cancer rolls out with The Forge, a faction from Dr Who, based in Antartica. These are already fighting the Doctor, so they are ahead in the alien fighting. His first pick as a big guy is Typhon, the father of monsters. I had thought about grabbing some Greek goodness. This might be the way the Big C rolls on this draft.
 
The Log also picked an alien fighting agency in the NID from Stargate, based in their traditional haunt D.C. Lots of aliens that need to be put down there, but not so many monsters. Log does pick an old favorite in King Kong.
 
Pattern Ghost hooks up with Max Smart's base agency CONTROL in Mt Rushmore. Not a lot of monsters in South Dakota, but I know PG will bust a move.
 
Bone Daddy grabs up the number one alien fighting agency in fiction MIB, and their undersea base from the cartoon. And his pick is the bug from Mimic that looks like a man in a trenchcoat until it decides to eat you. I think this film was based on a Penderghast mystery. That might be the way BD is going with this.
 
Last but not least is Hermit with the Organization running the rituals to keep ancient demons at bay by sacrificing them to monsters. They use Transylvania as their base as they pull out the first monster, Dracula. Hermit might be looking at a Universal Monster Combo pack.
 
I think that recaps everything so far. It is now 537 in the morning. The third day picks start in roughly six and a  half hours. Get ready.

Also there is a lot of interesting choices here for the sponsoring organization

It's a form of competitive fanfiction. Each player attempts to assemble a cast of characters to meet the requirements of the draft. Each day at or after the designated hour (noon EDT, in this case), you make one selection. There are limitations on what choices you can make and when, e.g., in this draft, your first choice must be a location (which is the case in most drafts, as it turns out) and a sponsoring organization. Each day thereafter, you make one pick to fill the remaining required slots. 
 
The thing that makes it interesting is that other players are doing the same thing at the same time. It is almost inevitable that someone else will choose a character that you had wanted. This is known as 'sniping', and it forces you to think on your feet. 
 
As you make your draft picks, you may add explanations or stories as you see fit. This is not required, but it may help you for the final phase (see below).
 
At the end, the player running the draft posts a poll. People vote for who they thought assembled the best, most interesting, or most deserving cast of characters. Winners get bragging rights...until the next one.
 
Does that help?

For this month, we are going to set up to run an invasion story. Only this time instead of being opposed by humanity, it is up to the monsters to oppose the evil oppressors of Earthlings. 
 
The first thing you need is a base of operations and a sponsoring organization for your monsters
 
The next things you will need in no particular order is a five monster team of monsters
1) The Big Guy
2) The Brain
3) The Shapeshifter
4) The Historical Relic
5) The Leader (who can be the token human on the team.)
 
One Alien
 
Three optional choices for weapons, other monsters, other aliens, particular humans
 
While some monsters can be a shapeshifting superstrong ancient brainiac leader in one package like Dracula, let's try to use the one quality that fits for each slot picked. Monsters don't have to be named like Dracula, but any type that is picked is off the table. So if someone picked vampire, then vampires are off the table.
 
We'll start on the 7th which is Monday, at high noon EST.

Trump announced that Keep America Great would be his re-election slogan before the formal launch of his campaign last year.
 
But the Biden/Harris campaign snagged the domain name.

Mil Journal Sentinel
In the first shooting, which occurred a minute-and-a-half earlier, he faces a first-degree reckless homicide charge. Rosenbaum was shot multiple times in the Car Source car lot at 63rd Street and Sheridan Road.
The complaint says Rosenbaum suffered gunshot wounds to the groin, back, and hand. He had a graze wound on the right side of his forehead and a superficial wound on his left thigh, the complaint says.
Law enforcement had earlier said he was shot in the head.
 
CBS New
The complaint claims that cell phone video showed Rosenbaum, who appeared to be unarmed, trailing behind Rittenhouse before throwing a plastic bag at him. As the pair approached a car, a loud bang is heard, followed by an unidentified male yelling an obscenity. When Rosenbaum gets close to Rittenhouse, another four bangs are heard. 
McGinnis told investigators that at the time of the shooting, Rosenbaum was trying to take Rittenhouse's gun, according to the complaint. 
Rosenbaum was hit and fell to the ground. McGinnis began administrating first aid, the complaint said, adding that McGinnis was allegedly in the line of fire when the shooting occurred. Rittenhouse is charged with endangering him.
 

Before Rittenhouse shot the guy with the skateboard and the guy with a handgun, he shot an unarmed protestor down the street. This is like the guy with the bow and arrow they pulled out of his car.
