Lexipol, also known as PoliceOne, is a private company based in Frisco, Texas that provides policy manuals, training bulletins, and consulting services to approximately 8,500 law enforcement agencies, fire departments, and other public safety departments across the United States. This leak contains the policy manuals produced by Lexipol, and some subscriber information.

Founded by two former cops that became lawyers, Lexipol retains copyright over all manuals which it creates despite the public nature of its work. There is little transparency on how decisions are made to draft their policies, which have an oversized influence on policing in the United States. The company localizes their materials to address differences in legal frameworks, depending on the city or state where the client is based.

Lexipol's manuals become public policy in thousands of jurisdictions. Lexipol's policies have been challenged in court for their role in racial profiling, harassment of immigrants, and unlawful detention. For example, Lexipol policies were used to justify body cameras being turned off when a police officer shot and killed Eric Logan in South Bend, Indiana in June 2019.

I've been suggested Carvana, and I may end up going that way if it is indeed the simplest route.

I'm driving an older car, it's in many ways in very good condition, but the head gasket is starting to go. It hasn't gotten bad yet (no coolant in the oil... yet) and could be fixed, but the cost to fix is about three times the value of the vehicle. It's got relatively low mileage for it's age and I've barely driven it anywhere during the time that I've owned it.

I don't expect to get much for it, maybe a $400-$700 bucks, but I really don't know the best way to go around it.

Like 15 years ago I would have just listed it with pertinent info on condition and photos on Craigslist. I'm not so sure Craigslist is so viable now.

Thanks for any help you can give me, Lemmy!

I began to consider this as my mouth filled with the flavor of pineapple as I remembered the flavor of a pineapple.

Do other senses suffer from the same issue?

Colombian President Gustavo Petro said during a government meeting that cocaine is “not worse than whiskey” and that it's only illegal because it comes from Latin America.

Colombia, the world's largest producer and exporter of cocaine, has spent decades fighting drug trafficking, but the country's left-wing president claimed the drug was being scapegoated by American politicians, who have waged the war on drugs for decades.

“Cocaine is illegal because it is made in Latin America, not because it is worse than whiskey,” Petro said during a six-hour-long government meeting.

“Scientists have analyzed this: cocaine is not worse than whiskey,” he added, suggesting that the global cocaine industry could be “easily dismantled” if the drug was legalized worldwide.

The thing is, he's absolutely right. There was a suppressed 1995 study by the World Health Organization on cocaine and its effects. The US threatened to pull out of the WHO at the time since the findings didn't match US drug policy. Instead of losing the US, the WHO quietly shelved the study.

From the conclusions section:

A continuum can be identified for cocaine use, which includes:

• experimental use

• occasional use

• situation-specific use

• intensive use

• compulsive/dysfunctional use

Experimental and occasional use are by far the most common types of use, and compulsive/dysfunctional is far less common. Compulsive or dysfunctional users often have serious relationship, work, legal and health problems.

If approved, FADPA would allow copyright holders to obtain court orders requiring large Internet service providers (ISPs) and DNS resolvers to block access to pirate sites. The bill would amend existing copyright law to focus specifically on ‘foreign websites’ that are ‘primarily designed’ for copyright infringement.

The inclusion of DNS resolvers is significant. Major tech companies such as Google and Cloudflare offer DNS services internationally, raising the possibility of blocking orders having an effect worldwide. DNS providers with less than $100 million in annual revenue are excluded.

While site blocking is claimed to exist in more than 60 countries, DNS resolvers are typically not included in site blocking laws and regulations. These services have been targeted with blocking requests before but it’s certainly not standard.

It's aimed at DNS resolvers, so folks better start busting out them Pi-Holes and setting up unbound.

I have cancer. I'm open about it. This medicaid funding shit could literally kill me.

I am so sick of people suggesting I should "pull a Luigi" or "go out like a hero" because they still have things to lose so they don't want to stand up and lose them. So because I'm gonna die, I should say fuck it and risk it all for a bunch of jerks who wouldn't and haven't done the same for me?

Do you have any idea how disrespectful that is to people who are already suffering? When nobody is standing up to sacrifice themselves to save the weak, broken, sick, and disabled? Why's it our job to save the able bodied? Why can't these people see that even though they think their heart is in the right place, they're still basically telling us "your life sucks anyway and will end soon, you should throw it away for the rest of us who never did anything for you" or more simply "kys."

I'm officially tired of this inconsiderate and frankly ableist bullshit.

Honestly, I wish some mods or admins would make some rules about it since it's ableist.

i found this vhs called "Punch Punch Forever" (パンチパンチフォーエバー) in my dads basement in a box labelled "DO NOT OPEN" but he only wrote that on the box because there was a big scary rat in there and the rat bit me when i went to grab the tape and now i'm blind in my left eye.

finally got around to digitizing and uploading it though! enjoy! this one is labelled as "episode 1 of 62,737"

Gogo Matsumoto, an 11-year old aloof martial arts prodigy, along with her half-demon older sister; Nono, her mama; Mama, and her cool pet frog; Coolfrog, embark to compete in a martial arts tournament that pits humans against a near-infinite barrage of demons from another realm called the Akumugai. If a human can come out triumphant, they will be granted a wish from the Akumugai's warlord, Emperor Koro. Can Gogo overcome this impossibe challenge? If so, will she wish for a big, like REALLY big hambrguger? I hope so!
