Although I do not have that edition of the Webster dictionary , I do have some old copies of Miller's Guide back in the 1980's and in a secured safe deposit box a philatelic collection of many pre-decimal Australian stamps back to George V.

Only one response to the awareness of your cache of stamps and Miller's Guides Bob, and it's gotta* be:

Though WTF is now more common in the states " . . . the word geez is an informal way to express surprise, disappointment, frustration, annoyance, or exasperation. Geez is commonly used in the phrase geez louise, which means the same thing as geez but is usually used in more humorous situations."

I hardly hijacked it. Hijacking is what TBV'S auto correct does. Or what you do when you put words in other people's mouths. Besides potty mouth is quite subjective today. One's potty mouth is not necessarily the same as someone else's. An example would be that I think most everything you post is cr@p.Wink

As an aside, once COVID-19 is shelved into medical history and the world reaches some normality, Ozzies visiting stateside defund the police cities like NYC, Chicago, Baltimore,  LA, San Francisco, Seattle,  and Portland should feel free to call a criminal in an emergency.  Otherwise in all other communities, 911 works.

Compelling editorial about police shooting in the states.  It is not just about race.


The facts substantiate that when someone resists arrest or doesn’t follow the instructions of a police officer the event normally ends badly.

Over 1,000 people a year die from being shot by police. Last year was consistent with previous years 457 white people were shot dead, 415 black and Hispanics.

Whites are 60.1% of the population, blacks and Hispanics 30.7%

FBI are now investigating a second police department over a killing by police where a black man is pulled over for a drug warrant and ended up with 5 bullets in him, one in the back of the head execution style.

I am sure a number of high profile killings will also be investigated, like the guy in a coma who rang the police and walked outside still phone in hand and wore 10 bullets and the guy who was sleeping off a few drinks in his car in a Wendy's carpark(so he wouldn't drive home 3 blocks over the limit) and ended up with 15 bullets in his back.

Any chance you can put that in plain English ? A guy in a coma rang police and walked outside holding a phone. You've got me with that one.Confused

I see the Supreme Court has agreed to hear a case challenging a New York law re carrying weapons outside the home

The court will hear the challenge to a century-old New York law in the term that begins in October. The restriction requires those who seek a permit to carry a concealed weapon to show a special need for self-defense and is similar to laws in Maryland, Massachusetts and elsewhere that the court in the past has declined to review.

I thought it was already need to carry. Michael Cohen on his podcast a few weeks ago was talking about him carrying a concealed handgun when he was working for Trump and was talking about how uncomfortable he was with it. He said he was one of not many who had the specific licence.

Ok, it seems there is some question over what protection the Second Amendment offers those people who have these special outside the home licenses and they may clear that up.

You are very big on numbers, but putting this into perspective it appears that total police involved lethal  shootings was 3 per one million citizens.  Certainly a tragedy, hardly epidemic.  Most a result of criminal activity, not racism.  Hardly a reason to denigrate all police.

Nobody is denigrating all police, despite all your Fox News memes saying so, and in fact most police want these people weeded out.

Perspective? How many executions by cops is insignificant and acceptable?

Justice Department Brings Federal Criminal Charges Against Derek Chauvin, 3 Others

The Justice Department has filed federal criminal charges against Derek Chauvin, accusing the former police officer of using excessive force and violating the civil rights of George Floyd. Floyd died after Chauvin pressed on his neck for more than nine minutes on the pavement outside a convenience store last year in Minneapolis.

Three other former officers on the scene that day — Thomas Lane, J. Alexander Kueng and Tou Thao — have been charged federally in connection with Floyd's death. Two of the men, Kueng and Thao, are accused of failing to intervene to stop Chauvin. All three face a charge of failing to provide medical care with "deliberate indifference" to Floyd's suffering. They already are preparing for a state trial in August.

Chauvin also faces a separate federal indictment related to a 2017 incident where he allegedly used a neck restraint "without legal justification" on a 14-year-old and beat the teenager in the head with a flashlight.

Federal civil rights prosecutors from Washington worked hand in hand with the U.S. Attorney's Office in Minnesota to build the case.

Such federal charges are rare, in part because it is difficult to meet the high legal bar they require. To succeed, more...

No shock Shammy, the new sheriff is cleaning up the rotten system.

Cops can no longer treat em rough as the failed Orange disgraced former fruit-loop told them to do.

PS, he lied when he told them he would cover their legal costs if it got them into trouble. The cheap bastard wont even pay his own legal costs.Wink

Did you get a refund on your illegally obtained recurring payments?
