Head of Miami police shoots himself on busy highway after domestic dispute

Looks like this happened in Tampa from a LEO convention? Riverview to be exact, but is still considered Tampa.

Domestic incident? Stripped of your badge and gun until the investigation or whatever is complete, even if the husband/wife is full of ****. Something minor such as stress/anxiety and you try to talk about it? Stripped of your badge and gun. They make you feel worthless. The problem with all of this? Cops don't seek out help BECAUSE of those reasons. You are looked at like a liability and/or something is wrong with you when its usually not the case. Then it builds up leading to incidents of suicide. It really needs to be fixed.


Even with say the drugs tests. Say you get anxiety with flying and are prescribed Xanax and take it only for flying. Pop on a drug test? Stripped of your gun and badge. Tell the medical division you take it because of it even before a drug test? Drug test then stripped of your gun and badge when you pop positive. So ridiculous. All these departments claim "oh we care and want to help you" but when it comes to it they NEVER do.

And I'm speaking from experience. Someone I personally knew took his life.
All about optics, and not just within the LEO sector, but everywhere.

Late term abortion is not murder, because spontaneous abortions never result in a funeral because.....the child was never there in the first place.
You can disagree all you want, the world has 195+ countries, and USA is just one of them. And if USA has its own definition of the abortion, it doesn't mean that 194+ other countries have this. Same goes for your constitution. I agree and am happy for whatever your people have chosen, and I'm also happy that each country has their own constitutions.
There's many opinions on this.

Just because there is no funeral doesn't mean it's not murder. You don't need one and the other to equate to anything.

People/states/countries may have different laws, but universally, I think we can all agree that once a fetus has a heartbeat, this is the inception of life. Though this fetus does not have the ability to think/make decisions for itself, it is very much so a living being, and to end its life by another could/should be seen as murder.

And the argument for pro-abortion from rape/incest/etc. is a very very small percentage compared to other reasons for abortion:

https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/...on/1211175001/

"Just 1% of women obtain an abortion because they became pregnant through rape, and less than 0.5% do so because of incest, according to the Guttmacher Institute."

https://www.cnn.com/2023/07/25/homes...ges/index.html

"Shopping for a home? There’s a lot working against you right now."

ABSOLUTELY WRONG! The ONLY factor working against potential home buyers is the lack of inventory. If a lender is able to offer a 0% rate, but no home to close this on, the rate doesn't benefit anyone.

The media keeps talking about rates and rising rates. If a buyer is relying on low rates to qualify for a home, then they are not truly qualified buyers. Rates are currently in the 7% range, which is still really low compared to previous decades when rates were upwards of near 20%. Households have grown since previous decades, incomes have significantly grown since previous decades, and though there is inflation to factor in, buying a home has become more affordable compared to previous decades.

"'If something comes up you have only a day or two before it’s gone. I’m showing up the day it goes on the market, making fully underwritten offers, sometimes 20% over [the asking price], and not getting the house.'"

WRONG AGAIN! Home inventory is very limited, however, homes that are listed for sale are sitting on the market longer compared to 2 years ago. Also, buyers are NOT (or should not be anyway) offering over asking price in this current market, and sellers are now more likely to help buyers with credits/concessions as an incentive and move forward with the purchase of their homes.

I'm willing to bet there is verifiable knowledge and information that is out there somewhere regarding this. I'm sure Epstein kept a tight circle, but there are people with first-hand knowledge on his sh!t.

I happily support abortion and disagree with anyone who tries to define a term length arbitrarily calling it murder after a certain amount of time has passed. That's the same reason and logic we used to come up with constitutional rights: WE MADE IT UP!!

People make dumb choices all the time, so do not categorize me as pro-choice. If you want to define my stance on abortion, you can say I'm Pro-Death :)

Unlike certain groups out there who want to affirm/confirm/reassure/etc. themselves and their beliefs by trying to force their ideologies and principles onto others, I personally don't care what others believe/don't believe. Serious decisions, such as abortion, are up to oneself and something THEY have to live with and carry the burden of said decision, and ultimately have to answer for to a higher power.

I am pro-death when it comes to capital punishment/death penalty, but not abortion.

"Interest rates just went up again"

By 25 bps.

"Cost of financing and borrowing against your home still high"

Depends on what you are trying to do and what your financial situation is. If you are relatively debt free and looking to spend money just to spend it, then yes, bad time to borrow against your equity.

If you are looking to get out of debt, such as credit cards, loans, etc., then it may still be a good time to do a cash-out refinance.

Which makes more financial sense?

1. Not borrow against your home equity and keep the high-rate toxic debt (credit cards, loans, etc.) with close to 30% rate

OR

2. Take a cash-out refinance with a higher mortgage rate of approx. the 7% range and pay off the high-rate toxic debt.

"The Fed hikes interest rates by a quarter point and hints at another increase this year"

“At the margins, stronger growth could lead over time to higher inflation and that would require an appropriate response for monetary policy,” Powell said. He also said that core inflation remains “pretty elevated.”

This coming from the same person that said, “We now understand better how little we understand about inflation.”

The DOJ is aying they are still investigating so they don't have to answer to Congress.

Hunters defense wants the case closed.so they can settle.

IMO, I think we could possibly avoid a recession, even a mild one, if we left rates the way they are and let it work itself out.

At the rate the Feds are going, it seems like they are trying to purposely tip the economy into a recession.
