Can we notice that cops are writing tickets for disorderly conduct for manspreading?

Isn’t that the logic behind “broken windows” policing that everyone seems to hate?

It’s cool they caught him, but fuck this fascist Giuliani bullshit:

It usually takes the form of bags being strategically placed on the seat next to them.

I mean, great that they caught this guy, but focusing on these stories to the exclusion of how most of these kinds of stops go down is dangerous. The impulse to detain and demand papers from everyone who commits some minor violation on the off chance that there is a warrant out for their arrest has been shown over and…

I’ll lay 18:1 to anyone who wants Samer against a professional soccer player.

“Minors whose ass I could kick, ranked” should be a regular feature.

But how many of your Gawker Media co-workers?

That may well be true, but I would guess that all of them know how to properly answer the phone.
