There’s some really good books that can help you weigh the upsides and downsides, if you’re at all curious:

You seem to forget that 13 year old children do not have a developed prefrontal cortex, which helps to deal with aggression, planning, and abstract judgement, among other things. This is just one reason why this is complete bullshit.

This is the most Talladega thing ever and I’m almost proud to be an Alabamian today. Roll Tide.

TL;DR WHERE DEM TITTAYS

I worked really hard on that post, Jia.

Here you go buddy. Go nuts

they exist. they generally do not get media attention for NOT fucking up ppl’s civil rights and/or lives.

I read a thing by a former cop awhile back where he said that 15% of cops will always do the right thing, 15% will always do the wrong thing, and the rest just follow their partner’s lead. Depressing as fuck.

This is rape.

I hope every officer involved in this kind of incident is convicted of sexual assault. There is no excuse for this. None.

I don’t care what they thought their purpose was. Forcible touching/insertion is ALWAYS assault. Fuck them so hard.

I’d say there is no doubt that this was a sexual assault. I have family members who lived in Harris County. I hate that place so much. It’s the asshole of Texas.

I cannot conceive of any circumstance where a roadside body cavity search would be necessary or okay.

Have black people, you know, tried not to be black when approached by police?

Word. When my then 8 year old son asked me to make him a sandwich, my response was: “Come over here for a minute and let me show you how to make one”. I wanted my son to be independent, not 30 and asking me to do the difficult task of getting out bread and a slice of meat and cheese.

Somehow the most horrifying thing here is that a 30 year old man told his mother to go to the store to get him a sandwich and a soda - AND SHE DID IT.

It’s The Lion in Winter. They named the family Lyon for crying out loud. Stop suing morons.

I stopped saying hi. And just blow them away when I first see them.

MAKE THEM ABOUT OLD PEOPLE.
