4·2 years agoSome Guinness was spilt on the barroom floor, when the pub was shut for the night. Out of his hole crept a wee brown mouse & stood in the pale moon light. He lapped up the frothy brew from the floor, then back on haunches he sat. And all night long you could hear him roar, "Bring on the goddamn cat!

3·2 years agoYup, don’t know how I missed that. Thanks.
On average, a healthy and well-trained horse can run about 2 to 2.5 miles at full speed without halting. Still, this top-speed sprint isn’t typically sustained unless under racing circumstances. Remarkably, some horses, when prepared for endurance, have demonstrated the capacity to cover distances up to 20-25 miles without stopping, though at a slower pace like a trot or canter.
An average horse can reach a top speed of about 25-30 miles per hour.
No human is running that far or fast in any race. And sure a human ( a small percentage of humans at that) can go farther than 25 miles without stopping, but by the time you catch up to where the horse stopped, it would have had time to eat, drink, rest AND leave before the human got there

52·2 years agoTaxpayers get left with the bill, while police go on paid leave or get fired only to be rehired in a neighboring department.
Law Enforcement Officers (LEOs) should be trained and licensed in a federally accredited program. Then individually insured. The more they F-up, the higher the rates. The more it costs the insurance company to payout, the higher the rates. Much like drivers after accidents & moving violations. The more on your record, the more it’s going to cost you. Until no insurance companies want to provide you coverage.
Insurance costs must be covered by the LEO, not the taxpayer. Insurance is used for any liability or criminal costs, not the taxpayer. LEOs risk higher premiums or loss of coverage for bad behavior or incompetence.
All investigations of LEOs should be done at the state level by a independent body / board. All disciplinary files & lawsuits are recorded to a federally maintained database and are under pervue of a federal overwatch. No more investigating ‘your own’ and finding them not at fault. Any department found circumventing this can lose their department’s accreditation and federally investigated.
Other professions have to follow a similar process. It’s not a new idea. Hell, every driver has to maintain a license and insurance to drive.
