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.

I can’t see a way to see what each defcon is/relates to. Like, what are the different defcons and what is the real world example of each?

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.

Elaborate please.

Yeah, the thing about this asshole is that he has no sense of humor. There’s no way he doesn’t mean it. And the fact that he proudly displays this in the fucking whitehouse is most troubling indeed. Best case scenario, he means one of his idiot sons, but let’s be real about who we’re dealing with here.

The pants may pose a challenge and require some preplanning, but 15° is probably perfect to make sitting cross legged pretty comfortable. Bonus benefit, they can’t identify you by your feet.

I bet the Sam bride could fix up a mean rabbit stew, especially with some big yellow taters.

Huh?

I thought they meant the streaming company, not the jewelry store. Jewelry store makes much more sense.

I have just surname@gmail. On the one hand, easier to get, on the other hand, I get tons of spam from people who fucked up entering their intended recipient. It’s the type of thing that seems cool on paper and in reality carries monkey paw consequences.

Oh, you must live in one of those countries which the spectre of capitalism doesn’t threaten the very fabric of society. Which planet is that on again?

My commentary was that 4th of July this year felt more like a going away party.

The real miracle was creating chocolate chip cookies 1,908 years or so before they were invented.

Are you for real, man? Can you really not let this go? Let me break it down for you:

I don’t think Mythbusters should have used human skulls, you disagree. That’s it. It’s that simple.

How about this: you win! You’re very smart and we’re all proud of you. There is nothing wrong with using human bones for entertainment science. Adam and Jamie are real scientists. I was wrong about everything, it just took like 5 replies for me to realize it. I promise to print out your replies so that I can study them by candle light even if my power goes out. Thank you for helping me to understand such a complicated issue.

Now leave me alone.

Hard science is science that uses systematic observation, experiments and sometimes mathematics to get knowledge. In hard science, experiments have to be reproducible (if the experiment is done a second time, it will have to produce the same results as the first time).

https://simple.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hard_science

My opinion is that Mythbusters is not science, but science themed entertainment, and as such, does not justify the use of human remains. I further contend that they do not treat the human remains with sufficient dignity, and that their use is disrespectful.

It is also my opinion that you will continue to reply/argue with me until one of three conditions is met: 1. You continue to argue semantics until one of us expires from old age. 2. You whittle me down and I give up. 3. The actual heat death of the universe.

It’s looking like option #2 is the front runner. Because at this point I’d rather get my own skull crushed than to continue going back and forth with you.

The priority on Mythbusters is always entertainment first, not science. It’s not best practices, it’s what is visually appealing. It’s not data driven, it’s shooting schedule. The skulls are not necessary tools, they are props. Adam Savage himself states that the goal is to “replicate the circumstances, then duplicate the results”, or in other words, create a spectical. Which again, is fine, but is not hard science. If you can’t tell the difference between hard science and television I don’t know what to do for you.

But I suspect you understand this already, and are motivated more by the excitement of eliciting a response by adopting a posture of “enlightened” objectivty, blowing the minds of us lesser beings, us superstitious cave dwellers, than by legitimately considering the finer points of profiting off of human remains or the needless destruction therof.

Is the problem that they’re filming it instead of publishing the skull fracture patterns of knapped stone clubs in the journal of archeology?

The problem is that “what happens when a superhuman being with a ring on punches you in the forehead” isn’t exactly an important question to answer.

This really isn’t any worse than, say, seeing how long it takes for human remains to fully liquefy when sealed in plastic and subjected to various conditions (more importantly, the rate at which organs decay while submerged in that soup). Is it worse than melting regions of a body with acid to test a theoretical new skin-grafting technique? Flaying their skin and muscles from the bone then macerating it to a homogeneous mixture to test for microplastic distribution rates in the 35-40 Indonesian Female demographic?

Again, yes. As it is not for science, it is for entertainment. Adam and Jamie are not scientists, they are special effects artists. And they are not conducting experiments, they are staging entertainment. They are not in a lab, they are in a special effects warehouse. They are not publishing their findings to Nature, they are editing them for a television audience. Mythbusters is not hard science, it is science themed entertainment. Which is fine. But these skulls belonged to real people and there is a power dynamic involved in where they come from, and who buys them, and what they’re used for.

I don’t think it’s an “incredibly romantic” position to wonder if it’s disrespectful or scientifically necessary to wrap a human skull in pig skin and then punch it with a robotic fist until it collapses for television.

The key distinction here is your will. The will of these people is unkown. Their consent is unkown. If you’re looking at the skulls for sale on the bone room for example, they don’t even know the specific age of most of the skulls and are forced to guess within a range. If they don’t even know how old they are how can they know with any certainty the circumstances of their death? Where in the world can you just find an unclaimed skull to sell? What are the chances that these skulls aren’t the skulls of poor people, or otherwise disenfranchised people? It doesn’t take much imagination to draw the conclusion that the ethics surrounding the buying and selling of human skulls, and then destroying them for no other reason than the momentary entertainment of of the global 1% is at the very best a grey area.
