    Guilty on all three counts.

    The "thin blue line" phrase is divisive rhetoric from police and people that want to make policing into an "us vs. them" narrative. Hell, it was popularized in the US by Bill Parker of all people (talk about "us vs. them") and the history behind the phrase dates back to war time in England...

    Guilty on all three counts.

    This is always a two way street. The idea that cops can be successful without getting the trust and respect of the people they police is absurd. The motto is "protect and serve". You can't do either without a level of trust and a level of respect. I'm not really going to go further since I...

    Guilty on all three counts.

    What are these "tons of things"? The judge made an offhand remark since he was pissed off (rightfully so) at Maxine Waters. However, 99.99999% of high profile cases have some sort of similar, inflammatory comments made at any given time. Those cases are not overturned on appeal. I would expect...

    Guilty on all three counts.

    While I do agree with this, respect is a two-way street. Community policing has really been pushed aside and deescalation tactics were not really embraced for a long time. I mean, I live in a very small town in northern NJ and I'd say more than half the police here don't live in town. And it's...

    Guilty on all three counts.

    I mean, he was very clearly guilty of third degree murder. I don't think there is any real question on that one, frankly (him being high at the time is really immaterial - addressed below_. The statutory definition of that is: "Whoever, without intent to effect the death of any person, causes...

    Guilty on all three counts.

    He has nothing of substance to appeal on. Perhaps he can argue ineffective counsel (his defense attorney was shockingly bad at times). What in the world would he even allege that would result in a successful appeal? Your last sentence is absurd, though. Of course this would have gone to...

    Acceleration lag after Intercooler install

    So it sounds like 5star fixed the issue?

    Magnaflow or Borla?

    So what do you all do?

    What type of company did you do risk management for? I am on the insurance brokerage side (but also an attorney by trade). Chasing the money on the brokerage side, but have always considered jumping into risk management if I want a change of scenery.

    What are some of your other hobbies?

    Watches. It's a very fun hobby but also very annoying and can be very expensive. I've bought and sold countless Rolexes, Omegas, and Grand Seikos (for example). After culling my collection down to 2 (and using a lot of the sales to fund house repairs and our upcoming 3rd floor), I am down to...

    Thermal R&D Catback Soundclip

    Also got a bit of the underside. Sorry that the phone fell down, but I should've done it in landscape so it's my fault anyway!

    The Thermal R&D cat back exhaust PREMIER!

    Kit is absolutely fantastic. Loving the look and loving the sound at WOT. I also love that it doesn't sound like a diesel truck at idle like some of these exhausts. Let me give Ron a huge shout out, too. T R&D forgot to include the tips in my exhaust. I went to Ron once the installer realized...

    2021 Ford Explorer King Ranch Edition.

    Ford wasn't putting a V8 in this truck at all due to CAFE standards.

    I have this and it's fantastic. Very well made and feels OEM.

    5 Star tune. My experience so far.

    Blaster, you're only other performance mod is the Whipple, right? So no downpipes?

    Wow, yeah, I already got my tracking info! Thanks a lot!

    Aluminum pedal overlay

    I also have these and find them to be fantastic. Build quality is very good and they seem to be quite secure on the pedals themselves.

    Ordered a full kit a few days ago (black tips). Very excited.

    What did your Ford Explorer ST replace?

    2008 Saturn Outlook. The Saturn was a nice SUV.
