"Arpad Vass, “forensic instructor,” is handing out divining rods to students hoping to become better crime scene investigators. I wish this were a joke. It is, very sadly, an actual thing that is happening with the blessing of the University of Tennessee and is capable of subjecting students from all over the nation to this stupidity."

Authorities say that Edsaul Mendoza, 26, engaged in a "tactically unsound" pursuit of Thomas "TJ" Siderio and shot him despite knowing he was unarmed.
Police believed a friend of his was involved in the theft of a weapon.
Mr Mendoza was arrested on Sunday.
According to a presentment of facts released by Philadelphia's District Attorney, Mr Mendoza was part of a group of four plainclothes officers who confronted Thomas and a 17-year-old friend - identified in court documents as "NK" - on 1 March. The officers believed that NK was "tangentially connected" to a stolen firearm investigation.

Would the corrections officer helping the Aaron Rodgers lookalike murderer escape from Alabama lock up work for this thread? Because that story is...something.
