2. Talking Points Memo ran a piece about the difference between “warrior” and “guardian” cops, which Mike referenced in “Leading Off” on Wednesday.

3. Casebolt served in the Navy for 10 years, three of those as part of the military police.

5. Sean Toon is the man in McKinney who called 911. He’s a convicted felon and animal torturer.

6. This is the original Dollar Shave Club video — posted March 6, 2012 — that inspired DeLuca to start Foot Cardigan:
