Best piece of evidence that the kid actually did say “I’m going to sue you” was his smart ass remark when the cop said that the kid threatened to shoot him: “Are you deaf? I told you I was going to sue you!”

Even if the officer was in the right, which I am by no means saying he was, isn’t there a responsibility to stand down if trying to get the arrest puts bystanders in danger? Risk v.s. reward at that point should say, you know what, I don’t want to shoot a bunch of kids for a trespassing collar.

I hope this kids family sues the shit out of him and since he was off duty he foots the bill instead of tax payers.

I think we should turn it over to the assholes. All those Bible thumping, brown people hating bigots and let them cut off their nose to spite their face. Meanwhile in Gayland we can drink yummy cocktails, eat great food and be fabulous. Then when the assholes realize they’ve made a terrible mistake we can come back…

I’m still waiting for an app that makes WIC purchases easier. You know, scan something with your phone to make sure it is on your specific WIC ‘check’ and then scan your phone at the register to ‘cash’ your check. Instead of using actual paper checks that the cashier has to check against the master list of acceptable…

I used to do a lot of trade and blue collar/no collar grunt work until I finally got a desk job. Decades actually. Even got the scars to prove it.

Agreed. Or a voucher towards any jacket they want to pick ? What an asshole.

Yeah, I know how to use a hammer drill and a torque wrench, too. And a stud finder. And a garden hoe. And a digital micrometer. And a shovel. And a pickaxe. And a nine-pound sledgehammer.

Oh, it’s coming.

You and I have a very different idea of actual work. You know who’s doing actual work? Plumbers, electricians, and shop techs. Everything else is bougie window dressing. Eat me.

“Oh PLEASE let there be a tech bubble burst.”

That’s not true. Everyone in tech knows that Uber are assholes, other companies would be happy to hire her. Plus, this kind of HR failure is a golden ticket. It’s so bad, any competent lawyer should be able to get her enough money that she wouldn’t need to work for a while.

They are renovating a landmark building in downtown Oakland to be their new headquarters and I go back and forth between wanting them to make it succeed For Oakland’s Sake and wanting the Black Bloc to just smashy everything they own.

as a lawyer who is usually on the defense side of employment discrimination suits, and who also thinks that sometimes people are just assholes and it’s not about gender/race/whatever: GIRL SUE THEM.

Oh PLEASE let there be a tech bubble burst. I would love nothing more than for those snide, vapid, useless motherfuckers in Silicon Valley to have to do actual fucking work for money.

I’m calling it now there is gonna be a tech bubble burst and Uber is gonna be the next Pets.com

Ya know, when you are the identified douchcanoe in the relationship, and have had your sorry self slapped with a restraining order, pushing the boundaries of your custody agreement or spanking your kid when your wife isn’t there is the move of a severely over-entitled guy.

I imagine its like something out of the Beverly Hillbillies.

You should feel an overwhelming urge to sing “Circle of Life”.
