Snarky Response To Public Records Requests
"
The most passive-aggressive public records response in MuckRock history"
Three years ago, Shawn Musgrave kicked off MuckRock’s first big FOIA (Freedom Of Information Act) project - the Drone Census, which looked into how police departments across the country were approaching the idea of utilizing the tech as a law enforcement tool.

What? Come on. That still doesn't prove how 365-ton airplane can fly. With people inside!
Ha ha ha, yes it does, Son, yes it does.
(Everyone is mental. Except me.)
