might as well, if they're salaried they're getting paid either way.

That was my first reaction, but cops make mad overtime. If they are salaried then they are definitely considered "non exempt" which means they can make overtime. Shit like this can let them bill a bunch of overtime hours.

When I was young I heard several adults say something along the lines of "yeah cops love that overtime". I thought it meant they worked all the time. Now that I'm in a job where I bill my own hours I get it. They just claim a bunch of overtime for something unusual like this.

Stop this nonsense. He is now a public figure, and the police have all the reasons in the world to encounter protests.

If the police sent 5 guys, encountered a small group who attach them you'd all be meme'ing about the police incompetency.

This is the dumbest reason to make fun of the police who make it easy.

Dude caused a dip in US GDP, stop acting shocked authorities are making a show of it.

The second CEOs start considering moving to Canada or UK over the US, the economy is done. It's already a serious risk due to way more poor people with guns than most other countries.

If every single CEO up and left, that would be, on the whole, the single greatest thing to happen for this country. I'd feel sorry for the rest of the world that would have to deal with them, but it would be a giant step foreword for us.

Then STFU and move to fuckin Canada then all you CEOs, I dare ya.
