MOULTON, Ala. – A fake mug shot posted by the Moulton city police department has garnered a lot of social media attention.
“I was very surprised. I think we are up to 6,000 shares,” said Officer Russell Graham.
Russell Graham is a Moulton City Police officer.
On Tuesday, he posted this photo along with other mug shots on the police department’s Facebook page.
“It just looked humorous to me, there were several that I went through and I said there’s our guy,” explained Officer Graham.
Graham wrote on the photo’s caption that “Barry Larry Terry” was arrested on charges of unlawful possession of a wild raccoon and no headlamp on bicycle.
“I can’t tell you where it came from I was just like I was just like ‘That looks like a Barry Larry Terry.'”
Graham says the other mug shots he posted were real, but this one was just a joke.
But what’s not entirely satire about the post, “There’s actually a law possession of wild animals. I don’t think it specifically says wild raccoon, but I just added that in there and here we are.”
**Graham says the post was intended humanize the badge. He says he’s seen other law enforcement Facebook pages do similar posts.
“Across the world law enforcement officers are seen in a bad light. They’re seen as robots so to speak, supposed to be serious. We were trying to project a little humor, and hopefully build a little rapport with the citizens that come across the page,” Graham explained.**
The photo has been taken off the Facebook page, but the viral idea isn’t going away so easily.
A Facebook user-created a page called “Free Barry Larry Terry” that is bringing voice to the convict and his furry friend.
One of the posts on the new page says “Can somebody come down here to the city jail. Put $5 on a my books and brang me some smokes.”
Reddit users also found the mug shot, and Mr. Terry is catching a lot of attention there.
The department recently posted that they now have more likes than the city’s population.
ACAB.

Could be photo shop? The hands come up from out of frame, so it could be a normal picture of john rambo with a bandana and gang sign hands just dropped on top. It does have that soap opera foggy quality though so you’re probably right that its AI.

You’re more right than you may know.
An actual city wall existed on the street from 1653 to 1699. During the 18th century, the location served as a slave market and securities trading site, and from 1703 onward

If human blood has plastics at a rate of ~ 1.6 µg/mL and a typical volume of blood donated during a whole blood donation is approximately 470-500 mL you’re looking at a reduction in plastics of a cool .0005 grams per donation. That’s 1/40th of a grain of rice!

I’m losing track, but don’t they usually go good, bad, good, bad?
98 good, m.e. bad, xp good, vista bad, 7 good, 8 bad, 10 good, 11 bad, so maybe 12 good?
Obviously I’m over simplifying and I skipped over 2000. But at least since 98 I feel like the trend has been pretty reliable.

I’m not a huge Biden fan by any means but I would argue he conquered his limitations where as Trump is defined by his.

Land of the free, home of the brave, indeed. This attack on free speech will continue to get worse. The farther we let it go, the longer it will take to claw back any sort of legitimate freedom. Criticism should not be illegal, and designing and selling shirts like this is supposed to be an example of American freedom. We’re about to have a new red scare (or are perhaps witnessing the first signs of the one we already have), this time with decades of social media content to scrape, facial recognition, and god knows what proprietary marketing “fingerprinting” data associated with our names/identity. The man who owns Tesla has made it clear he desires tyranny, and every one of those cars is festooned with cameras, roving, or sitting idle. Let alone operations like Waymo, driving around to wherever dispatched. Internet connected cameras on every street, our phones tracking our movements in real time, the internet of things, the privatization of legally protected security forces with no badging or oversight, arresting protestors, journalists, students, LEGAL CITIZENS. Make no mistake, they’ve raised the stakes already and this is not a game we can afford to lose.

During the last go around with that hideous pustule with the awful hair, major league soccer and it’s fans got into a rather messy and protracted row over banning “antifa” iconography, signs, chants, etc. It seems to be back on the back burner now though because I’m seeing antifa flag again in the supporter sections.

If you were a purse snatcher, and your victim gave chase. And you were shouting “Stop! Stop them!” The people on the street would be at least as confused enough to let you get away, as you’d both be shouting. It’s weaponized projection. Double speak. It’s no more unintentional than using a Nazi salute and claiming it to be a gesture of endearment.

Well he’s captured the judicial, the legislative, and the executive, already. I guess I shouldn’t be too surprised that the next target is the forth branch/estate. What could possibly go wrong by allowing someone to hand select their own oversight/accountability? Republicans sure seem unconcerned about the unilateral consolidation of unchecked power by one man. Isn’t opposition to tyranny supposed to be, like, our entire raison d’être?

Historically I still “lose” these types of arguments as my willfully ignorant interlocutor spams potential strawman and ad hominem “arguments” until they feel sufficiently convinced that my pesky facts and I are safe to ignore.
In my experience there are very few people worth arguing with, as there are very few people willing to argue in good faith. Most people see arguing as a battle to be won or lost rather than a mechanism by which to vet assumptions. How can you expect to argue with a person who is unable to argue with themselves?
