Then, the Duke City grabbed national headlines for a policy of the Albuquerque Police Officers&#8217; Association to pay its officers in cash (or check) after they&#8217;re placed on leave following a shooting. The policy itself isn&#8217;t new or even all that unique, but it&#8217;s not well known and fallout over the publicity cost the top two union leaders their jobs.<\/p>\n<p>We&#8217;ll step aside from controversial subjects for a few minutes as political scientist Nathan Collins talks about what the replicants in Ridley Scott&#8217;s sci-fi classic &#8220;Blade Runner&#8221; can tell us about how we vote. Collins theorizes that we use subtle clues &#8211; often subconscious ones &#8211; to inform ourselves about what a candidate is &#8220;really like&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p>Thanks for swinging by!
