The week's question
In December 2024, in the thread "Re: BRK: Why Not XOM?", BreckHutHigh asked the members: "What about the long road trips with kids?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

And just to finish off the left:

A D.C. police commander is under investigation for allegedly making changes to crime statistics in his district.

The Metropolitan Police Department confirmed Michael Pulliam was placed on paid administrative leave in mid-May. That happened just a week after Pulliam filed an equal employment opportunity complaint against an assistant chief and the police union accused the department of deliberately falsifying crime data, according to three law enforcement sources familiar with the complaint.

The union claims police supervisors in the department manipulate crime data to make it appear violent crime has fallen considerably compared to last year.

liberal cities like to gaslight their residents and claim that crime is Waaaaaay down. Here's how they do it. First, their policies always encourage more crime. Then as crime increases - overwhelming the local cops - they just start fudging stuff.

-Instruct police to not make arrests (such as for drug offenses like possession, or graffiti, or what have you)
-Overwhelmed police don't have the manpower to service calls, so crime goes unreported.

On and on. Most blue cities work like this.
