It would be similar to him going out to the parking lot and getting into a police marked Ferrari and going on patrol.

Hey, if the Czechs can have one, why not US?
In 1985 I was on a business trip to Holland. Flew into Amsterdam and had to drive to Den Haag. It was at night, and was raining.
Along the way I passed their version of the highway patrol. Two guys sitting on the shoulder inside a convertible white Porsche 911 with the top off. They were wearing orange rain coats.

Show was just okay, fairly entertaining.
Neagley the character, based off Reacher series, did not warrant her own show and then the actual show did not really change my mind on that.
It really did not feel girl bossy. She fought & won some but also got her butt kicked.
Neagley's character has never felt like a draw to me, and Maria Sten also never felt like must watch TV, though I had only seen her in Reacher. Still felt that way for most of this series but I have to admit a few things.
1) I thought she did a great job in the hospital scene with her dad about what caused her hapephobia. She did fantastic.
2) She kind of is a selfish POS. Maybe this is where some viewers say "girl boss".
a) She put Keno in a bad spot and left him there very vulnerable saying "he'll figure it out", as if he had any experience or training.
b) She repeatedly did what she wanted, and used and put Hudson & Renee in bad spots with zero care.
c) Lazy writing but the show had her and others kill multiple when they did not have to, yet she could not get over someone killing a pedo???
3) She's got a nice rack! Never noticed that before but even from ep1 in a tighter shirt I noticed it & thought "huh, never clocked those before". Quick google search and saw a few images and was pleasantly surprised. Did not know that she was in beauty pageants and crowned Miss Denamark Universe 2008
Good summary. I have very similar thoughts.
My wife and I binged it over 3 days. I thought the plot seemed to come apart during E8, but then they salvaged it in E9.
Neither of the women in the lead roles show enough emotion for my taste. It makes me think that the actresses are not that talented. And I get that the Neagley character is supposed to be stand-offish.
Both Neagley S1 and Reacher S4 had really awkward male / female relationships.
Anyway, it helped pass some free time. If there is another season, I'll give it a watch.

Will watch after all episodes have been released.
Done.
My least favorite season so far.
Ritchson can't act.
The new black lady cop Tamara (Sydelle Noel) can't act.
The hot evil Asian chick did not get nekkid.
Then they tried to force some kind of relationship between Tamara and the small town white cop (Jacob), but there was absolutely zero chemistry and they just left it hanging in the end.
Still plan to watch Neaghly and Reacher S5, though.
Looking forward to the new season of Mobland. Will have to wait until Thanksgiving in order to binge.

They're a Jason Statham movie, and if they deliver any depth that's just an unexpected surprise.
Ritchson is TEMU Statham.
Statham can actually act, both seriously and comedically. Ritchson cannot. His attempts at humor rarely translate because he is so wooden in his delivery.
S4 was my least favorite of the 4 so far.

Tulsa King stopped them in Oklahoma
I live in a rural county in Oklahoma, and the next rural county over had a grow operation that had imported a bunch of Chinese nationals. One of them killed one of his bunk mates. It was initially described as a murder, but I have not heard anything about it since, and that was over a year ago.
My son had a grow license, but after all the corporations came in, they jacked up the license fees and my son and a lot of other like him got priced out.

Not the same job.
A private entity would stop servicing the unprofitable routes, or dramatically increase the prices.
I'm not saying that would be wrong, but it would be the reality, and a lot of people would get upset about it.
The best idea is to stop daily deliveries. A couple of times a week is enough for most postal customers.

There are too many pastors who are afraid to speak political beliefs
Pastors should not be speaking political beliefs as in promoting one specific party or candidate. Otherwise, they should lose their tax exempt status.
Example:
This is OK: "Abortion is wrong. It is against the will of God. See Bible verse XYZ."
This is not: "Democrats support abortion therefore they are evil and you should not vote for any Democrat."

I got the opportunity to take multiple flights when I was a summer intern back in 1982. It was fun as hell, but yes, they are dangerous.
They are the motorcycles of the air.

Well damn, that sucks.
I know you don't see helicopter crashes very often, but I imagine it's pretty rare that people survive those, huh?
And yeah, 14,000 hours of flight time seems like an eternity, so I assume this was some sort of mechanical failure instead of pilot error.
Sad situation.
Definitely sad.
In Oklahoma City, all of the TV stations have one, and sometimes they fly pretty close to each other when they are covering an accident scene or thunderstorm. I've often thought that it is only a matter of time before one will crash on air.
One of the long time pilots crashed one shortly before he retired. He was trying to land it on the back of a flatbed truck, but it fell off the side while the rotor was still turning. He survived, but he never flew again, plus the helicopter was totaled.
I had a summer job back in 1982 servicing communication systems for off-shore gas wells. I got to fly in both small and large copters that summer. The pilots were all crazy Vietnam vets.
Later, after I graduated from college and got a real engineering job, I worked with an older Vietnamese engineer. I didn't know him very well, but he was able to get one of his grown children extracted from Vietnam back when Vietnam was still on bad terms with the US. He had a party to welcome his son to America. He came by my cubicle to give me the invitation, and we had a brief discussion about his life in Vietnam. He was a helicopter pilot in the Vietnamese army, and he was shot down over the jungle by the VC while carrying a group of soldiers.
In broken English, he was able to describe to me in detail how he was able to bring the auto-rotating copter down to a hard landing, and how he was able to avoid being captured by the VC. It was a harrowing tale.

Pretty simple. Israel was given $2.8 billion of US taxpayer money and told that they must spend it by buying bombs from the US.
After all the political grifters take their cut off the top, of course.

LOL! Did you forget that those white men imported migrant labor to help with all that?
Africans, Chinese, Irish, Poles, etc. There is a reason why all the big cities have a "Chinatown" section.

The last 3 Republican governors of Texas have done the same with the Muslims and Indians, especially Greg Abbott.
