Your posts are a great collage of information. I think many people would benefit if you numbered your posts near the "previously" because I wasn't aware of the amount of these headlines before checking your previous posts.

If you ever want to, you could put a date by each link, though I don't know who would benefit.

Is this idea originally from another platform, please?

I've been collecting and sharing bad cop stories for 35 years, back in the day Xeroxing and sending by mail. The tech has gotten easier, but the cops haven't changed at all.
