Are these the same Brazilian police who were picketing at the airports as Olympic visitors were arriving? Wacky how the only party surprised and/or skeptical of the scenario is the judge. Lochte isn’t even the first Olympian to claim being robbed by somebody with a badge/uniform while in Rio, though he is probably the…

I’m totally cool with Law Enforcement Officers, and their rights and all, but I’m starting to think that some of these unions that claim to represent officers should be investigated as hate groups.

Nope. He’s just a photogenic open-carry guy.

The impassioned missives from the athletes really got me.

Many, if not all, of the institutions mentioned in the article have upgraded their campus security departments to full-fledged sworn police forces since the advent of Title IX. Why then are administrators and athletic directors and coaching staff EVER privy to the ongoing investigations of rape and sexual assault on…

This is the sort of random, unsolicited rant I’d expect to hear from a smelly old man the next row over on the bus one evening - not the voiceover commentary for the televised occasion of millionaires getting together to play a kid’s game. Though I suppose the only thing less interesting than watching a baseball game…

Holy polaroids, Batman! I hadn’t heard the pic sharing angle before. Isn’t that, in itself, a whole separate criminal act worthy of prosecution? And presumably one much easier to prove, since you know, technology and science and stuff??

Is this just a statistical hiccup? Unless I’m reading the story wrong, he had 14 different Tundras between 2000 and when he got this one in 2007. What was he doing to those Tundras in around 6months of ownership that he wasn’t doing to this one?

Good write up...I too thought the juice of the latest chapter wasn’t worth the squeeze. I think one issue with the KOTFE expansion is that there were players sitting at 55, fully end-game geared and ranked/legendary for PVP and Operations who would be whining and moaning if the new content wasn’t relatively quick to…

Ideally, you could gift the winning ticket, and let the non-profit organization file the prize claim, but it looks like the Powerball rules might prevent that. I did dabble in a little speculative research myself (daydreams) and one of the organizations I was considering has a plan set up where you basically donate…

I feel like a bastard for saying it, but I’m kind of pleased that the jury decided in time for his birthday, the smug, evil turd. HOWEVER, I’m concerned about the amount of doubt...that’s like a 50/50 batting average there for the prosecution. I’m super curious to know what held the jury back (aside from their own…

The family of the kid who got shot 16 times by the Chicago Police officer were offered a $5million settlement. I guess everything really is bigger in Texas.

In cases like this, a magistrate should be able to asset forfeiture the whole Fraternal Order of Police piggy bank in order to offset the victims’ settlements, and then order the whole crooked mess to pay restitution to make up any difference (plus the year of admin leave repayment, and the whole legal cost of…

A sky full of stars to this.

Reading about how Laquan’s family basically threw him to the wolves when he was 3, I don’t think you should give too many shits about what his “mom” and “uncle” feel at this point. That is of course if they even know what’s being said on their behalf through their legal team. They didn’t seem to have much care for the…

The clip is horrifying, yes, but more horrifying? That we came this close to never being allowed to see it for ourselves. The freelancer who filed the FOIA request last year was out on a limb all by himself with no major media organizations to back up his request. More horrifying? That this might be the only footage…

I'm sure there's some kind of connection between my comment and yours, but I'm struggling to find it. Is it because the vehicle that got away was white?

Is there something in the law that specifically addresses marriages or wedding services? I ask because this is only the umpteenth article I've read that uses a hypothetical gay wedding to set the stage for the hypothetical business to refuse service. It sounds more like a…

I'm sure this is the unpopular position to take, but parking enforcement folks and tow drivers in particular always seem to get grief. Yeah, ticketing and towing/booting cars seems predatory and arbitrary to alot of people, and maybe the fines/fees structure might be outta-whack, but there are some real rat-bastard…

I, for one, would like to know where I can sign up to start sending food-filled care packages to the many brave fighters of ISIS.
