**Moderating:** Good addition @MacDoc, but I’m preemptively cutting off discussions about Philly & ICE from this thread. If you want to talk Philly and Ice, please start a new thread. ---

Just now on CNN: The officers involved in the Pretti shooting have been placed on administrative leave. Apparently, at least according to the talking heads, this is SOP after such an incident, but it’s nice to know. ---

It says a lot that following standard operating procedures is a newsworthy event. ---

No, no names were given, at least not on the news I was watching. I’m sure their names will come out in time somehow. ---

If no names were given, then anything said about what happened to them must be taken with a grain of salt. ---

I also heard they’ll be undergoing routine mental health evaluations (SOP when their actions result in death). Unless Trump’s people have replaced the career civil servant health care professionals with this guy [![](https://media-cldnry.s-nbcnews.com/image/upload/t_fit-560w,f_auto,q_auto:best/newscms/2016_34/1686086/160826-trump-doctor-mbe_522p.jpg) ](https://media-cldnry.s-nbcnews.com/image/upload/t_fit-560w,f_auto,q_auto:best/newscms/2016_34/1686086/160826-trump-doctor-mbe_522p.jpg) [IMHO, a better exemplar than Ronny Jackson] They should all be declared unfit to return to duty. No, I am _not_ holding my breath. ---

No, I’m not holding my breath. I’m going to need it for shouting. But I’m starting to think that they’ve finally roused what I used to think of as the real United States of America. And these petty minded would be fascists aren’t going to like the results. ---

> [@Left\_Hand\_of\_Dorkness](#): > > I’m cautiously optimistic, for the first time in more than a year, that we’re going to survive this. Hoping we get Nuremburg, or at the very least a Truth and Reconciliation Commission. A lot of us are looking forward to that. And we do have an advantage over those dealing with the 1940s fascists: we have _ **more evidence** _. Cameras everywhere! ---

In the meantime, I heard that the substance Rep. Omar was sprayed with was, of all things, apple cider vinegar. It’s the idea of the whole thing. ---

That’s so weirdly random I have to wonder if there’s some crank theory out there about vinegar…doing something.
