He was convicted of second-degree murder, reckless endangerment, and evidence tampering, and got a sentence that at his age might be tantamount to life in prison. Won’t bring his victim back, of course.

So is operating a laptop while driving, but look at all the electronic shit in a modern patrol car. Cops spend more time driving distracted than a high school girl.

Southern hospitality is the biggest lie and myth since the Cowboys being crowed America’s Team. I lived there for 14 years. Northerners, and especially New England, are the legit nicest people around. Southerner’s always have a religious or racial lens they are judging you through.  Always.

Seriously. I’ve spent some decent time in England the past few years, and just the...relaxation...of being able to walk or drive or ride a bike and know you don’t have a risk of being shot, it’s palpable, it’s noticeable. It’s like a weight off. And, you barely ever see police in England. Even in London. Then I come…

“Instead of answering, I would ask if I was being detained or arrested (the detained part was already in progress really) and then ask him for what law I had apparently broken or suspected of breaking.”

Yeah, people have been talking about it long enough that there is a word for it, and has been for probably 50 or more years: “Testilying”.

They found that he violated three sheriff’s office policies: he lied....

Born & raised in GA and still live here. I am not white, and this is a valid fear. I like hiking/walking a lot even though most places here are not walkable. This has led to a lot of tense moments where I’ve had random people pull guns on me for literally walking past their house on the street. I mean google what…

“This is pretty much the poster child scenario of why it’s NOT good for people to be as armed and paranoid as the GOP establishment wants them to be.”

jesus sister in law was an EMT for 4yrs before going into emergency medicine, and not a single person she worked with was allowed to conceal carry. You must live in an ass-backwards state.

“noting we were a “a long way from DC” and asked what we were doing.”

Ha ha ha. You must be white, because anyone with a non-white skin knows that route is a shortcut to handcuffs and a long wait for a drug dog, at best.

I think it’s 50% being scared about everything because of a high consumption of Fox News and 50% just itching for someone to set foot on your property so you can get your gun off... also due to an over consumption of Fox News. 

Not any more! You have first buddy Musk doing nazi salutes at presidential events... and nobody on the right cares one bit.

Is the famous “southern hospitality” I hear so much about?

Anyone who wants to be a cop should be automatically disqualified to be a cop.

See, the problem here is that everyone assumes that they’re the good guy with a gun. And unfortunately, all those good guys are tryhards who really REALLY want to show just how good a guy they are and so the second something happens, out comes the gun and... this.

William Randall Franklin reportedly opened fire on the two men coming onto his property for help. Both Cauthen and the driver, who has not been named, were also armed and returned fire. All three men were hit by gunfire at some point, leaving Cauthen dead and sending both Franklin and the driver to the hospital for…

Shiz I’m white as a ghost and I’m 99% sure me and a friend were pulled over in rural VA (not too far from Charlottesville) several years ago for suspicion of DWB b/c we were in a car with DC plates. Passing thru the area, went down a side road (off 29?) to see if friend’s college friend was home. Cop had somebody…

The amount of outright lying exposed by cops since the invention of the bodycam is truly startling. They know they are being recorded, and yet still lie constantly and commit crimes, to the point that basically anything before, say 2010 or thereabouts, we should assume all the cops lied all the time, about everything.…
