Nah, you know what you like. The worst customers are the ones who don't know what they like, just what they dislike.

I lived for almost a decade down the other end of Grand, just past the light at Dale where it starts down the hill. But yeah, I know where that is/was.
I used to run during the winter, but always on Summit since the set-back houses and wide sidewalks meant they were clearer of snow and ice.

Grand Ave? Hmong Handiwork? Dammit, didn't realize until I just looked it up that you went to Macalester and lived in my old stomping grounds.
And you are 100% right that the people that will shovel out anyone and everyone (even cops) gotta be pissed to laugh at these goons stuck in the snow.

I would expect they were "gifts" that were graciously donated for the small lump sum of no broken bones.

I screen shotted the same thing yesterday and posted very similar. 3 shots, only 1 hit the windshield, and it's near the post. Other 2 went thru side window. He shot after she was already turning away.

Think of those declothing apps like the old photoshopping the head of a famous person on the body of a nude photo, but more advanced so that the lighting and transitions are seemless. You aren't getting a photo of that exact person naked, but its convincing enough that its traumatizing and bad.

Trying to find issues with the video and picking at scraps.
The lines in that parking lot look to be done with very thin spray paint which means they are hard to see at a distance. And his hand has only two fingers because thats all that caught on the mag pouch, the other 2 are tucked under.

Yes but no. Without detail, the system will just make shit up. So you'll have a picture, but good chances are its not correct, and how close it is would be a guess.
Even the declothing is mostly incorrect because its randomly guessing at curve, tone, pattern, exact belly button or nipple shape, etc

Also look at the position of the bullet hole and the fact only 1 of 3 shots in quick succession hit the windshield. If he was in front of the car, it wouldn't have hit so close to the post and the other two wouldn't have gone through the side window. It's already swinging to the right when he shot.

Why do they need bodycam? They have multiple videos from multiple viewpoints. They have eye witnesses. If MPD wanted to gather evidence, they don't need gun forensics or crime scene recreation.
The hard part may just be getting the initial ID on the guy who did the shooting.

Oh god no. I haven't lived in MN in 15 years, but I still pay close attention because that's home and where much of family is.
She's a train wreck of a person, worse of a politician, but somehow she's tough & "folksy" and liked by enough people. Hopefully someone better jumps in for the primaries.

Bad part so far has been the adults (coaches) who scream at a 14-yo over calls in an 8U game. Like dude, chill. Nobody's career is being made today, but some of these kids could be learning the wrong lessons on what it means to be an adult.

As the parent of a 14-yo who wants to make money so they can buy their own things (they are hoping to save up for a car by the time they are 16), I was leery of any job where kids are treated substantially different than adults.
They became a hockey ref since they play and its been mostly good.

The backup goons showed up wearing masks in cars with no plates. This is a group that knows it is doing bad and trying to keep their identities secret. They should be investigated, then named and shamed. These are all dumb fucks trying to gin up racial hatred.

My sister's last (8th!) child caused her to hemorrhage. Almost killed her. They had to do a full removal to stop the bleeding. I was told they used something like 19 units of blood to keep her alive.
I renewed my mission of giving blood (O-) as often as possible because it saves lives like hers.
