If you never did donuts in the snow as a cop, you either didn’t have snow or you’re a liar.
…or had better impulse control than me.

UGA, we actually had snow chains. Used them maybe twice during the 10 years I was there. If we got ice or snow, we were doing donuts in parking lots.
(Pro tip: if you’re driving a FWD car (like UGAs experiment with the Chevy Lumina), then do your donuts in reverse)

"Verbal assaults"🙄
I had an 80 year old grandmother tell me to go fuck myself once and I managed not to shoot her in the face
(she was *extremely* drunk and passed out on the sidewalk in 90f heat and I arrived before EMS... she wasn't happy that I interrupted her nap😆)

Watching Ronin again (again), and I have to say the only quibbles with this movie are 1) the CG tire smoke in the beginning of the ambush scene and 2) "Fucker coated his bullet in teflon"
"Is that why it went through the vest?" *bangs head*

They had to run... *simulations* on this? It that because none of them have ever bought groceries or cooked for themselves before?
Brooke Rollins: "We've run over 1,000 simulations. It can cost around $3 a meal for a piece of chicken, a piece of broccoli, corn tortilla, and one other thing. So there is a way to do this that actually will save the average American consumer money."
