First things first: Never, EVER, take legal advice from a cop.
Secondly: I always suspected the checkpoints were BS. They never put them near actual high traffic party areas, and they usually shutdown by 10pm, at least in the Los Angeles area. Sure they’re going to get arrests in a major metropolitan area, plenty of…

If this sort of thing were being reported about any other country in the world, the news media would correctly describe it as institutional corruption. “Corrupt local police falsely arrested an innocent man...” and “The man had little hope that his legal case against the powerful police department would be taken…

‘To confirm I understand my 5th Amendment right avoiding self-incrimination?’

And that includes “Do you know why I pulled you over?”, a question for which the only answer is “no.”

“I would have” - the easiest most meaningless set of words in the English language

Can you imagine being so completely and unflinchingly willing to fuck up someone’s life for a job with a median salary of ~$50 - $60k, just because somebody told you to? Proof positive that police don’t police from a desire to do good, but because they are sociopaths who enjoy doing harm.

All Apples Are Bastards

You never have to answer any cops questions, you’re answers are likely to be used against you.  Tell them you want your attorney and shut your mouth, it’s your right.

This isn’t tragic “all around”. It’s tragic only for the family she destroyed. And calling it an “error in judgment” is fucking disgusting. This wasn’t a split-second decision she got wrong. She willingly, by choice, pursued a man she was told not to pursue and killed him while he posed no threat to her whatsoever.

A sentient bag of shit.

Grimes should play Elon Musk.

Or perhaps Rosie O’Donnell.

They’re all just angling for a VP slot.

My thoughts exactly.

Exactly, which also feeds into my point. They all know they don’t have a chance but the GOP persists in staging this theater to let GOP voters pretend their discerning voters who look at the issues blah blah blah, when they can’t wait to pull the lever for the guy who rocketed up the deficit and is a con man who…

If you still believe in the mythological “2023 moderate Republican” then I’d maybe be careful throwing around words like “clownishly.” 

I don’t know that, because of all the people I’ve met (including some Jewish people) who use or endorse that phrase, not a single one views it as “a direct call for the area to be cleansed of Jews.” It is a call for Palestinian freedom. Israel is the sovereign authority over Gaza. No one else has sovereign authority…

If Israel didn’t kill Palestinian civilians with such impunity, I would have no cause to criticize them. But 4,000 children have been slaughtered by Israel in a month, in response to an attack that killed 1,400 Israeli civilians. If the latter is savage butchery, what is the former? Historically in this conflict,…

“counterproductive to promoting peace.”

Johnson is a fascist religious extremist, and you can fuck right off with your lies about AOC.
