I shouldn’t have more than one of these a year and were not even halfway through.

We’re also on curfew here. I can hear sirens and helicopters and shit exploding so it doesn’t seem like it’s effective.

I’m far from the action so I don't hear it.

I live a few miles from the big riots but there’s no way to know if what I’m hearing is relevant or a coincidence. They scrambled our police radios sometime last year.

Pestilence. Famine. War. Death.
The horsemen are busy this year.
Then I saw when the Lamb broke one of the seven seals, and I heard one of the four living creatures saying as with a voice of thunder, “Come.”

You can tell, because there’s a mad stampede to buy all the Green Jell-O at the Smith’s Food King...
That’s an SLC thing.

On the plus side, my GF’s hunkered down in London with family over there. We were musing over the “tough times” of riding out COVID... while binge’ing Netflix shows , camping out in the backyard while eating whatever we ordered in from DoorDash, as we check in on juicy tidbits over the Interwebs.
It’s not exactly the same as enduring the Black Plagues, or even Spanish Flu, in medieval London, is it?

Smelling like 1968 even more. Not a good year for many things.
Even Seattle is feeling it, 5p-5a curfew and a few cars burned, I think.

“That’s been a big favorite for a very, very long time,” says Phillips of Salt Lake City’s Deseret News, whose 1998 Jell-O cooking contest acknowledged lime’s popularity with a separate “green” category.”

Well, the last thing we want right now is accountability.

I suppose it’s also part of the larger trend of “trickle down” from the military too . We fielded a lot of new hardware in the campaigns of the last 20 years— and a lot of police forces seem to think they want some of it.
Those are now MIL-spec jammers most of the SWAT teams are using...
IIRC, LAPD even got some M-RAPs and Buffalos ouf of the surplus pile. Unclear what their mission requirement is.

Last summer, the local sheriff’s office carried out an early morning drug bust at a house down the street from me. They brought the SWAT team, and their APC, and I stood in my front window and took some pictures. Later that morning, after everything was over, I was editing the photos and my middle-schooler looked over my shoulder and asked what happened. I said, “They did a drug bust down the street this morning.” My son looked at the picture and said, “Who did, the Army?”
Out of the mouths of babes.....
If we can’t tell the difference between the civilian police and the military, there is a serious problem.

Australia hasn’t had a great 2020 so far either but America now seems to have made ours look like a walk in the park...

Most large, metro public safety agencies used trunked digital radio networks these days, and encryption isn’t hard to add to those.

A lot of departments maintain encrypted channels, but don’t use them during normal use. Basically reserve them for stuff like this.

come to think of it... covid made the cops lives real easy like... groups of up to 30 people are allowed provided distance is maintained anything over that and the cops have reason to intervene...
kinda killed the right to protest whilst leaving it intact on paper

They claim it’s to protect the victims of crimes. Press were pretty unhappy. Now if an incident doesn’t make the police twitter feed it’s a PITA to get info on it.
Considering the cops were shooting pepper balls at representatives of our paper during the riots, I don’t think their reasoning stands.

its partially a way to bail out dod contractors. My dad is life long friends with now retired cop who drove their 70/80s armored car. 2-4 times a year they dragged it out of storage. The city had a number of low level drug arrests @10 years ago and practically got a sales brochure “you now qualify”. For the hell of it they asked, yeah you get it for nothing but the service costs are crazy.
