Cerelyn “C.J.” Davis was also heading the Atlanta REDDOG unit at the time when the mayor cancelled the unit in 2011 due to to a multitude of accusations of excessive force, police brutality, illegal searches, and a violation of civil rights.
Fired in Atlanta by the Chief in 2008, Ms. David appealed and was reinstated.

A 6th officer has been relieved of duty and is under investigation.
Officer Preston Hemphill has been relieved of duty during an ongoing investigation and was relieved at the beginning of their internal investigation Jan. 8 into the circumstances which eventually led to Nichols' death.
QuoteHemphill was shown on video during MPD's initial confrontation with Nichols, pulling him from his car forcefully while hitting him on the ground with a Taser, later stating, "I hope they stomp his a**" after Nichols escaped.

I grew up watching movies of all kinds of giant mutant insects and mammals terrorizing the people.
We have yet to see a proper treatment of squirrels and maybe chipmunks running rampant. The way those critters move is prime horror story material.
Hollywood, are you listening?
Three sequels. Cocaine Squirrels, Cocaine Chipmunks and of course Cocaine Chipmunks & Squirrels.
Cocaine Chipmunks, Scene 1:
A couple and their two children are having lunch on a blanket in the park on a temperate sunny day when suddenly the blanket is ripped open in the center with cocaine crazed chipmunks emerging mistaking the powdered sugar donuts the humans are actively eating as cocaine donuts triggering the murderous chipmunks into a killing rage at the family.
Let your imagination take over as each family member is killed in a different manner from the killer cocaine chipmunks.
Now where are my royalty payments for screen writing?

I sense another Hollywood attempt at a Sharknado franchise.
This time it is a bear. If the cocaine bear is profitable, the next sequel will be a cocaine mountain lion (darker comedy) followed by the sequel cocaine squirrels (light hearted comedy). Then the shocker sequel of cocaine giant pandas.

I remember the story of the bear eating the cocaine. But I don't remember anything about it going nuts and attacking anyone. IIRC the bear OD'ed and died on the spot.
IDK, maybe it'll be stupid enough to actually be good. But I'm not counting on it.
Correct. Here is an article regarding the real story.
QuoteCocaine Bear dramatizes the true story of a black bear that ingested an entire duffel bag carrying about 70 pounds of cocaine in September 1985.
The creature guzzled the drug after it fell from a smuggler's plane - with the drug runner toting the illicit booty also plunging to his doom.
The real-life bear was found dead three months later, lying beside an empty bag and 40 opened bags of blow, with a medical examiner ruling he suffered from cerebral hemorrhaging, respiratory failure, hyperthermia, renal failure, heart failure and a stroke.
His taxidermized body is now on display at the Kentucky for Kentucky Fun Mall in Lexington.
And while that bear didn't go on a rampage, the one in Cocaine Bear proceeds to terrorize the residents of a Georgia town.

In the mean time, I roasted a couple pounds of coffee beans.
Where do you buy your unroasted coffee beans and what region are the coffee beans grown for home roasting?
What is the flavor notes to the coffee?
In Nashville, there is a coffee shop called Crema that imports micro batches of unroasted beans from all over the world and fresh roast them onsite. I would buy a bag based on their roast level and flavor notes listed on the bag.
Surprisingly, coffee can a lot of different flavor notes like floral, citrus, caramel, dark chocolate (bitter dark chocolate) or milk chocolate (I haven't found that one yet).
The problem I encountered is when I found a specific coffee bean at Crema that I liked, I could not buy that micro batch anymore.
Great job on the turkey. Dinner time!

From the article:
QuoteCourt documents reflect that in 2016, the ATF performed a compliance inspection of the Franklin Gun Shop and numerous violations of applicable federal regulations regarding record keeping were found.
I wonder if the ATF compliance inspection in 2016 was before the robbery or the result of the 2016 robbery.

Now just imagine one of the guns used in a crime. ATF shows up wanting to know who purchased the gun. FGS give them your name because it's on the 4473, but officer...I didn't purchase that firearm. What do you think FGS would have said?
I do wonder what happened to the "hundreds" of guns.
Good point given that Franklin Gun Shop to my knowledge had been robbed twice.
January 28, 2021 Approximately 41 Guns Stolen
The keyword is approximately.

December 26, 2016
QuoteAuthorities said the three encountered extreme security measures once they were inside that kept them from stealing any guns.

Are they sure no guns were stolen given the missing record keeping?

The OutPost Armory opened in the former Franklin Gun Shop location on 9/20/22 and they bought some of Franklin Gun Shop's inventory.

Straw man - I never claimed anyone was communist, rather simply stated that if you believe liberty is a chip to gamble with, you may as well concede that communism is the ideal solution to cure society's ills.
If you remove liberty from the equation, communism is a great idea.
And you miss my point entirely - this law is supposed to be about our own economy and people. If the government is going to impinge upon the people's freedom, why not do the same for the corporations, forcing them to only hire US citizens to fill the necessary jobs?
Simple, because this whole thing isn't about health care or people's welfare, it's a power grab.
And no, that's not sensationalism, though you can keep trying to undermine the truth with name calling and accusations, I truly don't care.
How is market freedom (or free market) for healthcare working so well that you think everything is going just fine?
Is it the insurance companies being able to drop people because their healthcare needs are getting too expensive?
Is it insurance companies denying payment for pre-existing conditions?
Is it healthcare providers reducing staff to patient ratios to help the bottom line?
Is it the uninsured that uses ER services that are causing many hospitals and states to go into red? Some hospitals are closing their ERs. For profit hospital companies avoid certain markets and let the states suffer the losses. In essence, cherry picking their profit centers and leaves the rest to the taxpayer.
Is it a healthcare system that is more focused on reactive care than preventive care?
Do you think without the government stepping into healthcare that they can merely legislate insurance companies and healthcare providers to work towards giving everyone affordable healthcare and to focus more on preventive care rather than the bottom line profit?
For those of you against the change to the healthcare system, what are the solutions to these problems?
-
OK, so laws that will increase jobs overseas rather than here at home are OK as it's already happening. Nice logic.
Again you are making sensationalistic statements. It is not a law that companies have to outsource to India in order to comply with healthcare changes that are being proposed. Companies are choosing to outsource the jobs.
As I stated in my post, companies are looking for ways to outsource more expensive USA labor for cheaper labor. In the past, it was blue collar jobs. Now it is white collar engineering and technical jobs.
-
So what? An ideal solution on paper is communism, is that a great idea, too?
The reality is this law flies in the face of those of us who aren't willing to trade liberty for 'saving money' or 'what makes sense'.
Based on your response, you did not even take the time to view the program I recommended unless you consider Great Britain, Japan, Germany and Switzerland to be communist countries.

When people complain about our current healthcare system and then complain about the planned change to healthcare, ask yourself this question, was the current system going to lower costs of healthcare and provide healthcare to all citizens in the future?
Answer is no.
When I watched the healthcare roundtable debate Obama had with certain Democrats and Republicans, it was amazing the lack of common sense just because Republicans wanted to hold the party line. Mind you, I am not a Democrat nor a Republican supporter.
During the daylong debate that was televised live, Republicans wanted to “ease into change†by creating different pools of insured people. One Democrat compared the Republican approach of using different pools to segregation of races earlier in American history. However, instead of races, it was segregating people’s healthcare needs into pools that undermine the goal of spreading out the cost of the premiums by having one insurance pool of people paying into the premiums.
To me, having one pool makes perfect sense to avoid those people with healthcare needs from being where we are today by charging them the most. Like it or not, as you age, you are going to increase your healthcare needs. Therefore, for those who have no healthcare needs today, you will in the future and at the rate we are going, you will not be able to afford it when you need it.
One program I wish more Americans should have watched is an excellent PBS Frontline program called Sick Around The World.
FRONTLINE: sick around the world | PBS

Hey, at least this law will create new jobs!
(in India)
This is off topic. There are plenty of jobs in technical fields that are being outsourced to India, China and Brazil.
IBM laid off some of their IT people in the USA due to the recession and then quietly shift the jobs to India. Meanwhile, USA companies lobby congress to allow more H1B1 visas because they cannot find the engineers or technical talent in the USA.
Uh-huh.
Now back to our regularly scheduled topic.

Thanks Dave! The link now works correctly.

When I tried to click the Mark Forums Read link near the bottom right hand side of the webpage after clicking on New Posts, I get an error message box:
Your submission could not be processed because a security token was invalid.
Per the message box, I click on the inform administrator, however, when I clicked submit, I got the same error above. So I do not think it sent the email/PM/whatever to the administrator.
So I am reporting the issue in the TGO Support forum just in case the message was not received.

Can someone clue me as to why you dislike CTD?
Do they have poor customer service or outrages high prices?
