Nah it’s a great time. According to the way LIFO tax rules work, dealers have a 3 years inventory averaging period. So if inventory levels drop again, they’re on the hook for big-time tax bills for the gouging they did during the early part of the pandemic.

I don’t know the law in New York, but where I live the law that allows a person to use deadly force in self-defense or defense of others doesn’t allow a person to use deadly force if they are currently in commission of a crime themselves. Stealing someone’s cooler and its contents (and then destroying both) is a…

We should also keep in mind UAW workers for the Big 3 also received record bonuses based on company profits over the last several years.

Because Tennessee v. Garner, which says you can’t use deadly force against a fleeing suspect, makes it irrelevant.

Here are New Yorks “use of deadly force” guidelines.

Fun fact, “what ifs” aren’t enough for death penalties. It’s a tough standard for victim-blamers to grasp, but not killing people and letting our judicial system process criminals is the right way to do it.

Crashing people turns them and their vehicles into uncontrolled missiles, so that only increased the danger to bystanders.  It could’ve been a person and not a tree that the guy was splattered against.

This is the exact same logic domestic abusers use when they beat their partner. “Look what you made me do.” Oh, and guess what, cops are statistically overrepresented as domestic abusers. Funny how that works out.

Please point out which crimes the motorcyclist has been accused of that would have resulted in the death penalty if he had been arrested and convicted in a court of law.

And if you still insist on going down this hole, remember that most moving violations are considered violates because they’re dangerous, so the next…

I’m not familiar with New York law, so maybe they have a law that makes “getting away” punishable by death.

Yes. It is well established that police cannot kill someone merely for running from them.

“Then he took a U-turn and was riding on the sidewalk. ... The cop then took my cooler, which was filled with soda cans, water bottles, and hit him.”

There’s nothing that makes this act acceptable. The only outcome would have been severe injury or death. Unfortunately, police are rarely held to the same standard as the general public and he’ll claim immunity and will be supported by the union and chain of command.

In other news, the slide was later found full of bullet holes after being surrounded by police shouting “Stop resisting!”

Cops in my neighborhood used to play hide-and-seek with each other in the middle of their shifts, I shit-you-not.

let’s also point out that he’s failing miserably with a loaded fire arm on his hip (at a children’s playground)...

Nah, it’s funny because it’s a cop. I see parents eat it on slides occasionally, and it never elicits more than some sympathetic winces. An armed Enforcer of The Law just blasting down a slide with no children evident is funny because it takes cops’ flopping to pretend that their jobs are especially dangerous and lays…

Sorry you can’t handle a little thought bro. You’re free to focus on the dumb aspects and ignore any deeper meaning others might find, but other people are allowed to think and connect even a light-hearted thing to broader societal issues, and there is often utility in doing that, even if not everyone wants to…

They didn’t in in Tennessee. The state DA asked for medical records for trans people from Vanderbilt and Vanderbilt didn’t even fight it. Just handed over the records.

“Has your hospital performed any of the induced abortions that are required to be reported?” the letter asks. “If so, has your hospital been in compliance with Idaho’s induced abortion reporting law? If not, is there a reasonable explanation, and will you please provide your induced abortion data so we can make…
