Ah, good morning everyone. Well, it's morning where I am, so let's just run with that.
Apologies for starting a ruckus, and heartfelt thanks for those who had my back, Case in particular.
As at least a couple of you have guessed, my tongue was firmly planted in my cheek when I last posted. So much for my attempt to lighten the tone!
I confess that I can be obstreperous* at times, but I sincerely welcome having my views challenged. They have been challenged and changed multiple times since I started here thanks to various regulars, believe me.
As to the topic of the systemic failure or otherwise of US police, I'm happy to engage, but I'll mainly be listening because I am in no position to contribute, as I am aware that I am largely ignorant on this topic.
* It's cromulent, don't @ me**.
** Kidding, seriously, @ me any time.
