The law is merely inconvenience for the cops.

The kind of attitude that other cop showed can ruin someone’s life nearly as effectively as a bullet. Sure, in a few years, things might get straightened out, but during that time, who know if you’ll be in and out of jail, unable to keep or find employment, unable to buy a house or a car, and you may encounter

They believe they can break the law because they can.

Seriously this. While the first guy is an absolute asshole, the second guy is almost just as bad. fuck him

“Yeah there might be a lawsuit, but the taxpayers pay for that so who cares?” - the cop, probably.

They guys who are too fat/out of shape/dumb to be cops(which is pretty amazing given the people that get to be cops) and have to settle for being rent-a-cops are often even worse than normal cops, because they have a giant chip on their shoulder.

That civil remedy where the Defendant sues the cop, the hospital and the nurse. The last two do not have immunity.

he’ll get a paid vacation and maybe the medal of freedom. serving your government means occasionally putting the citizens in their fucking place.

And that motherfucker who comes in and tries to explain why she was wrong. I just want to punch him in the face.

What we’re seeing here is essentially the law enforcement version of “affluenza”.

My sister is a nurse practitioner. Her job is very difficult, stressful and at the same time she finds it rewarding because she saves children’s lives every day. I cannot express how angry this story makes me and I only wish his firing is the least of the repercussions he will face.

In lieu of cash, Trump says he is going to donate $1 million worth of MAGA and USA caps to victims of Hurricane Harvey.

I keep repeating myself today but... if Obama implemented, suggested or even liked something, the Trump WH will try and erase it. It really seems to be the only policy that has been fully embraced by his appointees. A main reason he is really pissed that Obamacare still exists.

We allowed them to speak and it didn’t work out that well. - A German Guy

Americans didn’t kill American Nazis. They got to hold rallies in Madison Square Garden with lots and lots of cops protecting them.

Saint Nicholas was Turkish, also not white.

“Jesus was a white man, too. He was a historical figure. That’s a verifiable fact—as is Santa.”

This makes me want to move to Georgia and convince Jones to run for office again just so I can vote for her.
