@3 -- One set of clear and easily understandable rules everyone follows + some job security + state management of a pension plan + a uniform code of discipline + one hundred years of police contract trial and error encoded in past agreements + (most importantly) a professional police force.
But you're right... we could outsource our policing to Foxconn.
The city gets a lot out of having a paid guild president. I don't know how O'Neill got to his salary, but you have to admit he's played a pretty good boogey-man during Diaz's administration.
Pretty cynical play for the city to threaten his pay in exchange for a contract signing (if that happened). Pretty cynical story if O'Neill's salary had nothing to do with the new offer.
I had to double-check to see if this were written by Dom. I expect better from Ms Madrid. She should know at least half the cops in Seattle would vote for a contract because it included a pay cut for O'Neill.

@57 -- Yes.
The US kills civilians. US citizens should know when we accidentally kill citizens and what we do to avoid killing citizens.
He's not a traitor for telling us the US kills citizens. He's not even a traitor for releasing thousands of documents he hadn't even bothered reading.
He's a traitor for releasing classified information that put his fellow soldiers directly in harms way.

Traitor.
Let him be the grand marshal of the RCPs pride counter-parade. I agree with Susie Bright that the SF Pride committee should have more balls (as should most pride committees).
Manning as marshal would be an insult to the LGBT soldiers who didn't dishonor their country.

Since the LW didn't go into it, we don't know which angle is turning her on.
Personally, I prefer when the director leaves the camera alone and doesn't mess around too much with camera angles.
Then again, I remember when they shot black stud / white girl porn on film (ty Marilyn Chambers and Johnny Keyes) and directors didn't try to mask their boring sex scenes with pans and zooms.

@29 -- Fortunately?
Listen... any time you have the chance to buy porn at a cheap price on a medium that will soon lose market dominance, BUY IT.
Do you have any idea how much 1950s Playboys are worth right now? There are some 70s porn mags worth far more than they were new plus the expense of trucking that shit around with you for years.
You, my cheap, closeted friend, made the wrong decision.

I'm all for snooping. I'm also all for keeping your big mouth shut when you don't find anything worth bringing up.
I believe the west coast etiquette is to pretend you didn't see anything. If the guest in your house has done absolutely nothing to hide their drugs and porn, you're supposed to gently enforce boundaries by making it obvious you saw the drugs and porn, but never ever bring it up in person.
Always have a gentle lie on hand in case the porn / drug / rude guest insists on rubbing their porn / drugs in your face.
"I'm sorry daughter. I just assumed you were holding onto that stuff for a friend. Do try to be more discrete in the future."
If your rude and boundary-ignorant guest continues to press the issue, politely make them uncomfortable.
"I've always been fascinated by black cock. Would you like me to pop some popcorn so we can watch this together?" or "Honey, your dad has always wanted me to fuck him with a big black cock. Can I borrow yours? I promise I'll clean it."
The goal is to remain silently superior to the etiquette-violator while never making them feel uncomfortable for their obvious violation.
Oh, and to talk a bunch of trash about them when they aren't around. This is key to reinforcing societal norms.

@7 -- watch out, or you're going to make all those people who start their sentences with "I'm 100% straight, but..." bisexual.

@9 -- SPOG has behaved very much like every other public employee union without the power to strike. Without a guild, the you might have to endure yearly police strikes.
