I’m pretty happy with my MSPaint of the Family Guy meme, so I will absolutely die on this hill.
I need the backstory to said MSPaint meme.
That’s a damn good guess and I had to go check when it was released before realizing the timeline doesn’t check out. The problem is the scene I described is a common trope.

I’d actually still like an answer to the question @Basic if that’s still on the table. It’s not a gotcha.
Maybe a little shot of adrenaline. Feeling of heightened awareness.
Haven’t read that yet, but was interested in police reaction and searching for it I found this…
There is just one slight hiccup. New Mexico didn’t actually abolish qualified immunity. Nor did Colorado. Nor did Connecticut. Nor did New York City. I point this out not to dismiss the significance of the laws that some of these states actually passed. Indeed, some of them are actually more interesting than a straightforward abolition of qualified immunity. But when discussing how to write laws to curtail police abuses, precision is more important than ever. These reports, which greatly exaggerate the demise of qualified immunity, manage simultaneously to misdirect readers and give short shrift to what lawmakers in these jurisdictions are actually doing.

I don’t blame state lawmakers and governors for wanting to abolish qualified immunity. But that’s simply not what they did. Qualified immunity is a judicial doctrine that applies in federal courts when interpreting Section 1983, which is part of a federal law. State lawmakers in Colorado and New Mexico can no more tell federal judges how to interpret Section 1983 than they can tell the Vatican how to read the catechism.

Good for the Chief.
No surprise from a police force that ran a black site to torture people

MURDERED
No half measures ffs
Houston and Harris county getting counted separately seems a bit suspect. Apparently they’re very effective at killing murdering kids down there.
Don’t worry I doubt too many large natural gas corps are that great

Holy shit is that a real stat?
Just added the second tweet in my post which has the link to the article linking the study. It’s from 2016 so slightly outdated but I doubt it changed too much
