@lauren and their non-girlfriend citizens. I was stalked by a local, too friendly cop for 15 years & it only stopped when he died in a drunk driving accident.

@lauren It's worse when they met their ex-girlfriends, on X.

@lauren We'll be hearing a lot more about this problem if one of the cops was transgender.

@lauren @cstross they also really don’t want people telling them what toys they can buy with their budgets.

It’s a slippery slope from “no panopticon toys” to being asked to justify all that overtime, military surplus hardware, and travel expenses.
