Policing in the US in 2025
You won't see any police organization call this out as unacceptable. You won't see this covered in the media at all. He won't be reprimanded or have his training or suitability for the job questioned.

This is a composite of 7 channels of data. From Hubble, we've got wideband blue, mediumband green, and H-alpha, and wideband near-infrared data. From Chandra, we've got low, intermediate, and high energy x-rays. These Hubble data are, in my opinion, some of the most difficult in the archive to process because the object is within such a densely packed region of the Large Magellanic Cloud. I've processed them once before with interesting results but I wanted to try again to see if I could get it a bit more natural and I also wanted to take the opportunity to include x-ray data available via openFITS. The colors undoubtedly look very fantastical and unrealistic to you so I will create a metaphor to help you pretend it is actually realistic. If you were a being capable of seeing in x-rays, you might have a different eye on your head for this purpose rather than a single one.

What if this aide contracted polio so he had to walk with braces in order to ambulate? This way he could get a small idea of what it is like to live with the effects of the disease. What the fuck is wrong with these people?! 😡🤬🤯
