This is something I did years ago for a campus expo trying to explain when to call the police and how to decide non-emergency vs emergency. The old people I work with did not get the Grumpy Cat* humor, and the rest of us had to deal with them. It was a big hit with the kiddos. That's all I'm saying.

Any questions?

Want to know how realistic the show 9-1-1 is when it comes to dispatching? Actually it's pretty good.

Want to know what to say? "Hi, I am/was [here], and [this] happened."
I don't need your name yet, or who you work for, or what happened a year ago, or why that person is garbage. If you didn't call 9-1-1, then yes this is the non-emergency line. If you just thought someone should know, then 75% of the time you should probably call your mom not me.**

The Fourth of July is the best time to shoot someone, no one will believe that the gun shot call is actually a gun shot call.***

Quotas are real, watch out when you're driving at the end of the month.

When I first got the job, well A. I desperately needed a paycheck and benefits and B. I believed in public service. While I still believe in public service, law enforcement is a broken system that needs to be completely broken down and rebuilt without the systemic racism, greed, and power structures. I mean obviously, but the issues are so deep and complex, and they are so resistant to change and positive growth. Basically if it doesn't go pew, pew, pew**** they don't really care much

**This is at least true on college campus. There is a small chance actual adults would bring the percentage down to 50.
***Please don't?
****I actually did go through an unofficial gun safety class, because I wanted to know how to unload everything just in case. This included a trip to the gun range where I shot a hand gun and a rifle. Those rifles are even more terrifying now. If I, basically an untrained monkey, can put that red dot on a target at a hundred yards and hit it, then anyone could.

I loved it. I haven't gotten very far in the book, I decided not to take it on vacation with me. Those kids were really well done, writing and acting. I admit, I had no idea where the title came from, but once I found out -> awesome. That was a bad shoot. Period. The depressing thing is that I know some of the guys I work with would still get defensive and blame the kid for not following orders. I continue to wonder if I should get out while I still have that shred of ethics left. I cried then at the movie, and at the end. Starr is so good. When the dad was giving them "the talk" and it was so different than what pop culture would lead you to expect I felt so awful. I did look up the Black Panther's Ten Point Program, which I am in no way equipped to comment on, but seems totally reasonable given my extremely limited scope.

I love this movie.

Anthony Mackie as King was hot and scary and sad.
