double win to anyone here who fits into at least three of the categories.

Well, I'm at least bi-sexual, so that's 1/2.  I'm a geek (1.5), I was a vegetarian for a while, and it was actually not too bad--kinda nice actually--,and I'm definitely a free thinker (2.5 to 3).
Go me.

I fit three; four if you count someone with orthopedic implants as a "cyborg."

For the record, that woman is apparently the President of the teacher's union in Chicago. Her name is Karen Lewis.

Are the NYPD notably worse shots than other police departments in the US?  I know police are usually pretty lousy shots.  (Most of them only practice enough to pass mandatory qualification testing, partly because they have to pay for their own practice ammo in most forces, and partly because the kind of person you want to have become a cop does it because they want to help their community and the last option that kind of person wants to take is deadly force.)  The only people who are generally systematically worse shots than cops are criminals, who generally never practice at all and expect their guns to work on a more or less totemic basis.

As for the gun actually shown...Did anyone notice how we never question the presence of an ejection port on an energy weapon that doesn't have any brass to eject?  The Original Trilogy blasters are pretty much all just dressed up real guns (the pictured one is, IIRC, a dressed up Sten Gun).  The ones used for shooting in the US were generally replicas, but the ones used in the UK were real because the restrictions on completely non-functional replicas in the UK at the time were stronger than the ones on real guns.

This would make an awesome graphic for one of Shane's recent videos.

The kind of person I want to become a cop doesn't pull the trigger unless they are aiming at someone who is an imminent danger to others. The NYPD acted like the asshole family from Spaceballs.
