The writers at jezebel don't get paid when they get a story right. They get paid when a story goes viral and people click on it a lot. Jezebel doesn't really fact check its stories and purports to update things only when "something is wrong in a story." I doubt they'll find any information about Nieto's psychiatric…

Still does not justify trying to shoot him 59 times, there are other ways to deal with a man that has a taser in his hands. Police in other countries that do not have guns have to deal with trying to take down people without guns.

would you be pounding on this point if she was white?

I don't get how this isn't kidnapping. Oh wait, it's Florida and she's black. I forgot that the police don't consider black people human here.

"The rules are the rules." Yes, but you are a heartless slab of stupid if you think that makes it okay to take somebodies infant without their permission.

I'd imagine at least half of all powerboat owners have contemplated faking their own deaths when confronted with how unbelievably fucking expensive it is to own one. Word of warning, if you are a balding 45 year old white guy going through a mid-life crisis, stick with buying a Porsche.

adding that in a phone call last week he said he "wanted to step up and do the right thing."

He wanted to do the right thing?
