@RyanDivish I actually laugh at the way "fans" say the same thing every year when we start slow. The reactions are pretty much copy and paste every year.

@tsauce7 Today was exactly what I expected. Detroit isn't going down without a fight. And our team is going to make us panic all the way through game 7 of the World Series. But I believe we'll take it all! My forecast is a walk-off win in the 12th Friday.

@tsauce7 ever had. It just has to all click together. You have my respect. When we make it to the World Series, I plan on making it to at least one game. Whatever it takes. The greatest part of the postseason? We only have to stay one game over .500 to win it all!

@tsauce7 make the best team look like they forgot how to hit. There are good and bad days for every player. One of the things that make y'all rock is to be able to shake it off and kick butt the next day. I've been an M's fan since 1977, and this is the best overall team i think we've

@Jedi_Rob @violetssmith @KING5Seattle Force is often required when making an arrest. Those policies in the links I posted specify to avoid arresting in order to avoid using force except in specific circumstances. They are to use methods other than arrest to de-escalate the situation whenever possible.

@Jedi_Rob @violetssmith @KING5Seattle Furthermore, as an aside from the actual policies, I've spoken to several officers recently connected to stolen cars. On the rare occasions they actually arrest someone for something, the court instantly releases them with a future court date which they simply don't show up for.

@Jedi_Rob @violetssmith @KING5Seattle policebrutalitycenter.org/what-does-defu…. That link. Right there. Was the crime being committed violent? If it isn't immediately violent, police should use tactics to encourage them to leave. That's what was done. Instead of confronting them directly, they created a path for them to depart.

@Jedi_Rob @violetssmith @KING5Seattle You really are a special kind of stupid. I posted the links. I showed how these policies changed exactly how the police are allowed to respond. It's the entire de-escalation techniques mentioned multiple times. But you're just incapable of getting it. Stupid is as stupid does.

@Jedi_Rob @violetssmith @KING5Seattle In other words, Washington was making a move towards what is being required before "refund the police" was ever said. Again, defund doesn't necessarily mean take away the money. It means reallocate the money. In those links, Tacoma Police have spent money to change their training

@Jedi_Rob @violetssmith @KING5Seattle You should look up specifically what defund the police means. "Defunding the police would allow funds to be allocated to emergency response units operated by qualified mental health professionals with training in de-escalation techniques and resources for ongoing care."

@Jedi_Rob @violetssmith @KING5Seattle "Defund the police" doesn't necessarily mean abolishing police altogether, as many believe, but rather the reallocation of funds to focus on a less militaristic type of police force. More mental health training, de-escalation techniques that do not involve force, etc.

@Jedi_Rob @violetssmith @KING5Seattle In other words, initiative 940 specifies changing police officers from doing what they've done into specifically what that requires. policebrutalitycenter.org/what-does-defu….

@Jedi_Rob @violetssmith @KING5Seattle It was voted with initiative 940. Then the state legislature approved HB 1310, requiring police departments to follow certain protocols. Tacoma Police Department's policy following those protocols went into effect 11/22/22. This is the result.

@HinrichsZane Maximum gross weight is the weight of the truck plus the weight of the trailer plus the weight of the cargo. The more the truck and trailer weigh, the less cargo it can haul. That's why you only see those huge sleepers hauling certain loads where weight isn't as important.

@HinrichsZane I keep seeing this about the Tesla being "fully loaded to maximum gross weight." My question that I've yet to see answered is specifically what is the weight of the cargo? In trucking, THAT'S the important number.
