The problem was allowing the police to manage the footage. There should be a federal, not state, archive that police body can footage is backed up to so they can't just say,"it malfunctioned".

I remember when I worked overnights at Walmart. There was a night differential of$1 per hour. While I was working there it changed to $.50 and the base pay went up by 55 cents. They really tried to tell me because my pay went up by 5 cents and hour I wasn't actually losing anything. Walmart will do anything and everything to pay their employees as little as possible. Also those who were there for a 1-2 years actually lost income with that change.

It's you sort by top you won't see porn until you get to the less than 8 upvotes area. Same with furry porn.

I got a smart TV about 10 years ago on Black Friday. It was fine until a few years the screen "bruised". Everything now has a purple hue and that is the "guest" tv. No other lcd tv I've had has had the same issues.

There is this image bias in the medical field against marijuana. Especially those who come from regions where it is still highly illegal or stigmatized. My friend works in a weed processing place and even her doctor acted as if that is the only reason for her breathing issues and not the fact that she's been asthmatic since childhood.

Cost of living in Illinois is relatively low though. If you're outside the cities even within 30 minutes to am hope from the city is not terrible. I don't have an opinion on living in Chicago since I'm not there but things are getting better. Also road construction is a good thing, it means they aren't just letting it deteriorate. Per CDC data opioid death rates in Illinois are consistent with the rest of the United States.

Yeah social media platforms are expensive b and part of the reason it's monetized with ads or, in Facebook I'm other countries, subscriptions.

I know what your saying but the person in question in this case should 100% not have a gun and way involved in domestic violence with a gun. And multiple accounts of gun violence after the domestic abuse order was issued.

 

In March, a frustrated parent wrote an email to the Hazelwood School District. Her daughter had been kicked out of Jamestown Elementary School after the district conducted an investigation into where the family lived.

In the email, the mother complained that her daughter had been wrongly removed and could not return to school.

“How is it considering a student's well being, to be pulled out of school less than three months before the end of the year,” she wrote.

The mother’s email is one of more than 100 communications between families and the Hazelwood School District appealing decisions that children could not attend its schools. The Midwest Newsroom and St. Louis Public Radio obtained the trove of emails through a public records request.

The mother, whose name is redacted in the records, wrote that even after her child was removed from school, district officials could not answer her questions about the investigation — nor why the school district even conducted the investigation.

“Hazelwood took it upon themselves to hire an investigator and follow me and my child, causing anxiety and fearing [sic] for my life not knowing who is watching us,” the mother wrote. “I feel like my daughter has been targeted and singled out for no apparent reason and with no explanation.”

Missouri students attending public school must enroll where their guardians pay property taxes — with some exceptions. Many districts use investigations to confirm where students live. The communications between parents and guardians and the Hazelwood School District — amounting to more than a thousand pages — paint the picture of an inflexible and inscrutable residency investigation system.

Other records obtained for this article show that the Hazelwood School District has ramped up the rate of its investigations in the past five school years and appears to be conducting significantly more than other local school districts.
