Idiot protestor. Protesting cops arresting a drug dealer. On video are the drugs and the $$$$. This is the left. Yelling and screaming fascist. Hope they arrested her too.

Why do so many people watch it then?

C’mon man. Stop and think.

even i'll give pyles enough credit to say he's not taking credit for any predictions he didn't make.

If I had a choice, I'd pick Beshear. He's a smart common sense kind of guy.

Evidence for "one" precinct. That's a pathetically far cry from a city wide significant deviation year after year. Keep drinking the Kool Aid.

So it very well could be just up and have nothing to do with inflation huh? Thanks for confirming.

Wrong. Even the mayor of DC said they found discrepancies in one precinct and she’s the one overseeing the publication of the info.

Paid protesters demand up 400% in dc lol

Xavier Doolin was a stud in hs, maybe he can put together an AA senior season for Morgan State.

It's common knowledge. I don't think it's a conspiracy it's just who they are. Liars and cheaters. Constantly relying on deception because they have no merits to their positions.

Popular, not highly respected. I don't know any educated people that listen to him regularly.

I'm here for it as a fan. We follow these kids for a decade or more and then post-college they have to change styles completely to keep competing. It's not a good way to sustain a product. I don't dislike freestyle but it makes sense that viewership suffers because a bunch of storylines die on the vine and the action isn't "better wrestling against better competitors" its "different wrestling with different rules". Like if baseball players play cricket after college because cricket is more popular globally... the MLB would be toast. Trouble is, there is no American system for post-collegiate wrestlers. The argument is that there isn't a fanbase to sustain a professional wrestling organization... but the same was said about football/baseball/basketball and now the NFL/MLB/NBA are massive.

The kids were all good from what I had always heard. Like I said, different cautionary tales that every prospective college (and beyond) athlete should recognize and respect. I don't know any of them or their families personally, maybe a random interaction years ago at best.

Mildly wrong lol. He’s hilarious and a superstar these days boss. Not liking him doesn’t change that.

So far, there's absolutely zero indication that any of this, even if true to any extent, made a significant difference. Crime has been dropping for years there.

I respect much of the above …. But not all of it …. Is it the American Way to be ready to flee (play the edge) and effectively run away when the situation gets tricky? That seems to be the folkstyle way with all the crap OOB that happens.

Shall I put you down for “no” then?

I did get an error message once or twice but just pressed submit a couple more times

Your buddy The DC police union chief is collecting actual data on the crimes they’re being called to and the actual result because they’re finding it doesn’t match what’s being reported to the public. Again a tad bit more than just an allegation

I'm not exactly privy to the rules on this. But I'd say the chances are probably slim to none. I know there's a few exceptions (F&M, Edinboro, etc.) but seems like most schools are the same division for all sports.

You wokesters sure claim conspiracy theory a lot. Even more than conservatives

Again. Based on a “true” story has nothing to do with what’s happening in DC right now. Good lord.

Its a nice allegation, but that's all it is. They're a dime a dozen coming from the wingers.

The writers didn’t make up the content it’s pretty well documented The creators and writers of The Wire, particularly David Simon and Ed Burns, drew on their real-world experiences and knowledge of the Baltimore criminal justice system to depict the phenomenon of "juking the stats" . David Simon, a former police reporter for The Baltimore Sun, spent a year researching a Baltimore homicide detective unit for his book Homicide: A Year on the Killing Streets, where he met Ed Burns. Ed Burns, a former Baltimore police officer and later a public school teacher, provided first-hand insights into police practices and how statistics were manipulated within the department. Their combined experience and research informed the storylines, including those related to the pressure on officers to improve crime numbers, notes Medium explains. This pressure often led to tactics like reclassifying crimes to lower categories or making arrests for minor offenses to create the appearance of crime reduction, according to Medium. The Wire then extended this idea to the school system in later seasons, showcasing how similar pressures led to manipulating standardized test scores. Beyond their own direct experience, Ed Norris, a controversial figure convicted of corruption and with past ties to law enforcement, also worked as an actor on the show, according to The Hooded Utilitarian. The show's creators strove for realism, populating the series with characters based on real individuals and casting non-professional actors to portray the "faces and voices of the real city". This focus on authenticity, rooted in their journalistic and police backgrounds, was crucial in portraying the complex and often dysfunctional aspects of the institutions they explored, including the pressure to "juke the stats" within the police department.
