I’ll give you Claudette, but Julien?
Mmm yeah he had some problematic stuff off the job, but I think he
a.) tried to be a good person, even if his issues sometimes got in the way and made that difficult, and
b.) was (most relevant to what these shitheads were talking about) a mostly good cop, in a department full of corrupt cops literally propping up gangs
The way I remember it, Julien was very religious, which led to multiple annoying storylines where he was struggling with his sexuality. But he was definitely supposed to be one of the good guys, generally trying to do the right thing.

I put this in the mass shooting thread, but cross posting here because it seems important to both - a racially motivated shooting of three random black people in a Dollar General.
You can’t “infiltrate” an institution you control. That would be like racists infiltrating the KKK
watch out, we got a badass over here
Things are getting real for America’s Mayor right about now.

The biggest indictment of the US is that scammers like this end up as presidential candidates instead of bankrupt and in jail.

Yeah it’s really this. Capitalism only kind of works when society restrains it from just doing whatever it wants. Without those restraints it rapidly starts rewarding some strange behavior. One of those major restraints that pretty much always has to be present is that fraud/deception for profit of really any kind can’t be tolerated at all. The more you tolerate it the worse it becomes.
My theory of 2024 continues to be that Biden will win relatively easily (although the swing states will be a sweat as always) with a greater margin than 2020. I don’t think even a recession would doom him. However, if he starts freezing up for 30 seconds at a time like Turtle, there better be a speedy and robust plan B.
