Yeah I wonder on what grounds the police can start unplugging shit in your house. This also happened in the Adrian Schoolcraft case - when the police burst into his house to take him in he was recording audio on one device which they found, unplugged and destroyed ... but they failed to find the second device (which is how we know). It's kinda wild how if the police might have a grudge against you, you'll have to set…

See Public Enemy, '911 is a Joke', https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JZDIitWz8Go

A song that laments how 911 ignores poor/black neighborhoods embodies a different sentiment than "fuck the police."

Finding out Afroman is raising his family in one of the most impoverished parts of Southern Ohio was strange. I wonder if he doesn’t have much $ in the form of royalties flowing in.

He had one rather silly hit that became popular, then overplayed and annoying soon after. He's done some other ventures, small concerts, etc since, but I don't imagine he has a fortune. If he was able to buy a nice place and retire, I'd say he's financially smarter than 99% of celebrities.

Because I got high made a ton of money, and he would have made a lot more if 9/11 didn't happen. There's a nice documentary on him and that song. Seems like a genuine guy.

Very few sheriffs had the guts to publicly state they would not enforce unconstitutional covid mandates. They were unconstitutional. That has been proven. It was illegal for officers of the law to enforce them. I don't think the primary law enforcement problem in the US is Sheriffs. Say what you will about police. These are not the same organizations.

What specific mandates were proven unconstitutional?

Executive orders issued by the Biden administration https://www.swfinstitute.org/news/90658/supreme-court-rules-...

The OHSA mandate never went into effect as far as I know. Besides even if it did go into effect it wouldn't be something a sheriff would enforce, as it is up to OHSA to enforce its mandates.

The administration used news outlets to pump the mandate and companies preemptively executed the order.

OSHA does not yet have any policing powers, this was an attempt to generate them.

Hahahhha What!? The revisionist history begins https://eppc.org/publication/bidens-covid-vaccine-mandates-a...

Indeed, the mandates began under the previous president.

Sorry, I'm not a team player.

But, please feel free to provide additional information

Am I missing something? A 300 word piece by a think tanker?

Honestly, I don't blame you. A genuine news release from a .gov site was not on the first couple pages of search results. However, that is by design.

But did it make a ton of money for him? The music industry isn't exactly known for putting artists first (i.e., musicians often don't make anything until all the expenses, advertising, promotion, payola, etc. are paid).

There's already a problem with roided-out cops, who aren't going to have any problems passing your hypothetical three mile run test. You're probably thinking in particular about the fat guy by the cake, but I've met guys of similar build in the cycling community who have no problem riding a imperial century in six and a half hours.

Dudes on a cycle with big red swollen faces and gynecomastia aren't going to run 8 minute miles. HGH maybe but that's a different class of PED for different reasons.

This is an extremely naive understanding of how anabolic steroids work. Side effects such as the two you've listed here — respectively: upregulation of the RAAS pathway causing increased blood pressure and sodium retention, and a failure to include an aromatase inhibitor to prevent the conversion of testosterone to estrogens — are relatively rare, especially to a degree where they'd be highly visible.

Also, an 8 minute mile is not a particularly high bar to clear and with the increased work capacity granted by basically every single popular steroid (funnily enough, HGH would probably not confer immediate/direct benefits in this scenario in the same way that less exotic PEDs could) it would be trivial for most users to do with little to no preparation.

Watching this video is a reminder that if we could just enforce a minimum level of cardiovascular health via something like a three mile run time limitation or something like that the police force would naturally weed out people with poor impulse control and probably be overall a more humane and decent force.

>minimum level

Meditating again on the conflicting requirement that:

1) Cops be intelligent, physically fit, free of troublesome political biases, cool under stress, be willing to risk being shot by criminals and,

2) Not be paid $500,000 a year.

"Cops are paid too much" is an evergreen topic on sfgate. Here's a recent story: https://www.sfgate.com/news/article/S-F-overtime-costs-soar-... If you want the best of the best of the best, you'll have to pay for it.

"Pfft, I could do that." Okay, why aren't you? Quit your tech job today and head to the police academy. Hmm? You don't want to? That's odd...
