I go to Dunkin so I can stay true to my roots.

There's shit all over the floor, receipts crumpled up at the register, the prep area to put sugar in your coffee is both tiny and fucking disgusting. There's a lounge area where the chairs are broken and the donuts are stale as fuck. Anyway: "One espresso please": sometimes you get 1.5 oz, sometimes you get 12 oz of some toxic chemical sludge.

Interesting data set. Here's the breakdown of the average shooter's age:

Age 20 - 99 (4.4%)Age 21 - 98 (4.4%)Age 18 - 90 (4%)Age 19 - 90 (4%)Age 23 - 89 (4%)Age 17 - 85 (3.8%)Age 25 - 84 (3.8%)Age 24 - 80 (3.6%)Age 28 - 80 (3.6%)Age 29 - 79 (3.5%)

the ages creep higher for fatal shootings: 1. 18 21 (4.5%)
2. 19 21 (4.5%)
3. 20 21 (4.5%)
4. 21 21 (4.5%)
5. 26 21 (4.5%)
6. 25 20 (4.3%)
7. 34 19 (4.1%)
8. 30 17 (3.7%)
9. 32 17 (3.7%)

there are links to a few court cases in here, including President Johnson's 1967 Commission on Law Enforcement and the Administration of Justice which recommended that all police officers nationwide have a bachelor’s degree by 1982. Similar to The Great Society, that notion was ignored.

>There needs to be complete restructuring of requirements to be a cop - 4 year degree in sociology/psychology/criminal justice before entering police academy would be a start.

I agree with your sentiments. They typically will not hire people above a certain IQ point, with their rational being that someone smarter would get 'bored of the job, leave, and the training would be a waste'
