Don’t Let The Door Hit You
Good riddance you Jackbooted Assholes. There are a lot of problems with Law Enforcement including (but not limited to) Systemic Racism and Militarization. Another one is Police Unions.

Thoughts on Policing
I worked for a time at the Research Company my Brother works for and a great deal of their work centers around Traffic Studies for State and National DOTs and the IIHS. How’s business? Not as bad as it might be. Many States have taken advantage of a moratorium from US DOT on submitting certain …
