• Pat Flood (@rebarcock) passed away 9/21/25. Pat played a huge role in encouraging the devolopmemt of this site and donated the very first dollar to get it started. Check the thread at the top of the board for the obituary and please feel free to pay your respects there. I am going to get all the content from that thread over to his family so they can see how many people really cared for Pat outside of what they ever knew. Pat loved to tell stories and always wanted everyone else to tell stories. I think a great way we can honor Pat is to tell a story in his thread (also pinned at the top of the board).

Police are the foundation of public safety and without them..

"Many of the best parts of America's history would have been impossible without police. All the freedoms we enjoy - freedom of speech, freedom of worship, freedom from fear - sit on a foundation of public safety." - William Bratton

We are sure seeing that now. Defund the police movement has made ordinary citizens in certain large metropolis in blue states afraid to go out, much less speak their minds. Insanity is in charge. I can only pray that sanity and common sense will return and emerge triumphant in our fractured country.
 
I agree with this sentiment. I work with cops nearly every day at work, they perform a vital function, and I love to make fun of them (it's part of my job description!). I say let the cities that want to "defund" or "abolish" the police do say, and then let them reap what they sow. They will be begging for law enforcement to come back and save them, I say let the politicians and people that support defunding BURN.
