We can also blame them for not having any policy in place that allows workers to miss a few days of work and have their jobs protected when there are evacuation orders. Florida is a hurricane prone place, come on!

I can’t imagine needing to evacuate and not being able to find anyone to take me with my dog. There is no way in hell I would leave my dog behind to starve, drown, or be crushed. That’s just not happening. People need a way to take care of their four-legged family members too, and it’s just not fair to force people…

Yes, who is this Lexi person? Why is she being quoted like she is an authority or the voice of the people? She’s just an ordinary person venting in a crisis.

Until evacuation orders actually include physically moving people, saying “if you stay, you’re on your own” is not fair. Gas stations had no gas, flights out were canceled. This isn’t Harry Potter—people need to be able to leave to get out.

A lot of poor people (who are usually black or brown) live in areas called food deserts, where most stores are convenience stores or little markets with few healthy options. When you can get a burger and fries for $3 but a salad is $7, it’s obvious they’ll go for the burger meal. Crap is cheap and healthy food not so…

Even Pepsi is Coke. All Soda is coke.

Flashbacks to when everyone looked at me funny for saying buggy instead of shopping cart.

Both are wrong; it’s coke.

Who can be arsed constantly repairing/replacing trousers a four year old has ripped at the knee?

She probably replies, “I know, it’s wonderful! I get to be like uncle Harry instead!”

Those sweaters were the height of fashion in the mid to late 80's so she was on trend. They are ugly as fuck but here we are.

Look at that face. She has a lot going on in that brain of hers and I love it.

I think the point is pay more and better people will be attracted to the position. I know meeting police recruit numbers is very difficult and sometimes the only qualified recruits are power hungry assholes.

Anything you say can and will be used against you. That statement is true whether or not it’s been read to you. Unless you need their help stopping a crime, the risk-reward dynamic of talking to the police is never in your favor (and even then you are exposing yourself to significant risk).

It’s not a question of paying assholes more. Read the rest of his comment. He wants better pay AND more stringent requirements than a freakin GED.

It was arranged by the family. They aren’t pap pics.

Do you work at mcdonalds? If no why not? Does it have anything to do with the shit wage a McDonald’s worker takes in?

That’s a completely fair attitude to take (and a safe one for personal safety). That said, if more citizens exercised their rights, maybe exercising them wouldn’t be met with such a suspicious response =\. In that light, exercising them just ‘because I can’ helps to normalize it for folks who need to exercise them for…

Not true! Plenty of people that are completely innocent were falsely convicted because they were just trying to be cooperative. They knew they were innocent, what could it hurt?

Good article, I thought this was going to be nonsense (most online legal advice is) but it was actually pretty good info. As for Miranda 2 things: 1) not everyone needs to be mirandized (lot of people aren’t because we simply don’t need to ask anymore questions) 2) public safety exception, the classic example is if…
