If that cop refused, he would have been punished for insubordination and the department would get a different cop to do it. The cop has no real choice in the matter. It's not like he was executing or beating people.

Did a politician just admit they don't know something instead of ignoring the question or lying?

Nick Offerman is similar in personality, maybe, but not in political beliefs. He's said before that he doesn't think civilians should be allowed to own any guns other than muzzleloaders.

I know of kids who were in my grade who were drinking, smoking pot, and even doing harder illegal drugs in middle school. I'm not saying your point is totally invalid, but cutting off the supply in the way you say doesn't entirely eliminate the ability for kids to get things. (Especially if there's a case where a kid's parent(s) decide to be a supplier.) (Edit: It doesn't have to be a parent; it could be an older sibling, cousin, neighbor, etc)

Not sure I get this one. Was it that criticising him wasn't allowed because he was a fellow communist, but praising him wasn't allowed because he supported Trotsky instead of Stalin? (I got my knowledge of the guy from a few seconds of Wikipedia reading.) Or is it just a joke about how literally anything could seemingly get you arrested in the USSR? Or is it both?
