There probably should be a carveout for that.

How is PNAS pronounced?

When you want to do a car bombing, but don't have a car. One day they'll be like the cool terrorists, with their ~~shiny new~~ beat up Toyota Hilux's and black scarfs.

Or not, you know with the whole suicide bombing thing. It sounds like the guy got away this time.

Mandatory "there's more than one version". You might think anarchism is also bullshit but it's not North Korea.

What's the hood guy's logic here?

Israel is in no way a useful check to Iran. Everyone in the region either hates them or tolerates them for money. They do not have an interest in attacking Iran at scale abroad, or the population to sustain it. If anything they serve as a useful strawman for Iran.

Also, I'd like to point out our "allies" in the region are just as bad. Iran isn't a real democracy. Saudi is openly an absolute monarchy and holds public beheadings for fun.

I mean, the data is only about funding rates that actually exist. No law enforcement at all would be jumped on by organized crime (that's called a power vacuum, and isn't a thing in Canada), but apparently an especially light police presence is no different from a heavy one.

What it most directly supports policy-wise is scaling down the local police a bit. The real work will still get done by whatever investigative teams.

Wow, I wouldn't be surprised by little connection or uneven, but none?

I'm guessing the important police work is carried out far from the local level with programs targeting organised crime and similar. Apparently the local guys write tickets and that's it. I would have at least expected they'd help by showing up to drunken brawls before they escalate, but apparently not.

Occasionally. Sometimes it seems like a free-for-all over there too, though.

"America" is the only one I can think of. Not OP, though.

I'm actually going to go a step further and say regulated, non-crony capitalism would also be better than what they have. The party has no incentive to bring either in as they are the cronies, though.
