    I'm guessing it's just for the sake of getting a lot of writing practice. Writing a short story every day would work too I suppose.

      I currently have a short story out on submission...

      Anywho, the point of NaNoWriMo, for me, is to practice a very specific writing skill: the skill of conquering the white page. (I practice other writing skills in other months.)

      Edit: Additionally, plenty of writers will tell you that writing novels and writing short stories are very different skills. Some will even tell you that writing a short story is harder than writing a novel. So one is not necessarily a substitute for another, unless all you're trying to do is learn how to write good prose.

        Every cop should wear a camera. The evidence can help put guilty people away. It can also help protect people from being abused. Legal processes have extreme consequences for anyone involved. A routine traffic stop can end with a cop shot... or an innocent person shot. With stakes like that, it's important that any encounter with law enforcement be recorded.

        The details can be worked out. Protocols can be established. Doing so being a "hassle" isn't an excuse. This is life and death. No amount of effort is too much.

        Anyone who thinks otherwise shouldn't be a police officer.

        Or in the case of civilian objections, anyone who thinks otherwise shouldn't be part of the discussion.

            Everyone should wear a camera at all times. The evidence can help put guilty people away. It can also help protect people from being abused. Legal processes have extreme consequences for anyone involved. A routine encounter on the street can end with an innocent person shot. With stakes like that, it's important that any encounter with any human being be recorded.

              I'm against this. Everyone who uses a google glass is a douchebag. If they weren't previously douchebags, they become douchebags. Google glass makes people into douchebags.

              I'm sure there are douchebag cops. But not all of them are. I don't want them to all be douchebags.

                            That is rather generous. You most be in a good mood today.

                              No. I'm pissed off as hell because of female problems.

                              Hopefully I don't get banned.
