(Not that it really makes a difference for purposes of me knowing anything about their legal system.)

Local Virginia politics is basically this.

Oh, leprosy armadillos.

It’s funny, I have spent a lot of time in Florida and never encountered a snake, but I guess a lot of the environment changes pretty dramatically depending on where you are relative to the gulf and all. And how hard you try to avoid snakes.

Well, I lived there for almost 20 years. Is that qualification enough for you?

It truly is the Australia of the United States.

That IS a good law. But I know that at least in Travis County, I sat at a restaurant bar with my mom many times as a teenager. But only when it was a bar with full food service.

I was under the impression that the tripping and interview with the subject took place on the Serbia side, but I could be wrong.

You can’t be arguing that the overall cost of beer is cheaper at a place with ample seating and full table service than it is at a hole in the wall where a guy hands you a beer and a bottle opener.

I was telling him where to look for the answers. I don’t know what VA’s specific policies about indemnifying its officers is.

Sue him for what, though? Unless Serbia has a very special cause of action for “running into my foot with your body as i chased you,” there is no conceivable cause of action here.

This woman does not know when to stop.

Me, too. But they probably won’t be. It’s very hard to fire police officers.

If you’re from Key West or Miami, you’re forgiven. I like those places.

Sometimes, people consume things other than beer from the restaurant near your office in Richmond.

A bunch of small suits don’t help in isolation. You’re rolling the dice on a very small chance of an officer being held accountable for his actions. But the national trend towards accountability can’t HURT.

Take the VABC for all they have. There was literally no reason to respond the way they did.

The 50% thing makes it ridiculous.

Look at the Civil Rights Act of 1871. It’s Section 1983.

Virginia is just Florida with worse beaches.
