Reply to comment by AnonyJustAName in Republican congressman calls D.C. schools ‘crappy,’ ‘inmate factories’ by Ok_Culture_3621

It’s not unusual to say you shouldn’t be allowed to see what the video shows before you write a report, so you can’t lie to make your report match the video. It’s standard in every reform recommendation for how to use BWC. Because testi-lying is rampant. No one is no papering cases because an officer says they turned left and it was actually right. They’re no papering cases because the gun isn’t where the officer swears it was, or the search wasn’t consensual or legal, or the officer is still making arrests despite having multiple documented credibility problems.

>Half this sub loves people who commit crimes/make excuses for them more and thinks hate crimes don't exist.

Is this directed at me?

>I doubt any victim is "thinking they were being clever" trying to survive. Yikes.

Doesn't really matter what the victim is thinking. They will catch charges due to disproportionate force. The law is blind, as they say. Just use normal pepper spray, there's no need to inflict permanent damage when normal pepper spray accomplishes the same thing for less risk.

Reply to What’s new at Nationals Park for 2023 by washingtonpost

I did not have Swizzler at the game today (almost always eat outside the park before games to either save money or get better food for the same cost), but I have gone to their location on 1st Street SE about four times (work nearby). Their burgers are very good, not quite as good as Shake Shack but similar in style (and IMO better than Five Guys), and the cost is a few dollars less than Shake Shack or Five Guys if you get a combo. (The fries are good but unspectacular IMO.)

Saying the above more simply, Swizzler is a solid option at Nationals Park, though like Shake Shack I think eating at the location outside but near the ballpark makes more sense. The non-ballpark location is a few dollars less and doesn’t have the sports event/captive customer markup.
