We can’t possibly have the sort of people who watch morning TV know that there’s anything unpleasant happening in this country! They’re just trying to get through the day, you know? That’s why Matt and Savannah and Al and Carson and the gang, who are all your personal friends which is why you’re on a first-name basis…

My guess would be that they found it inside a police officer’s pocket. Black people are notoriously skilled at smuggling contraband inside police officers’ pockets.

It’s enough for one stoner to get high enough to order a pizza and giant cookie from Papa John’s, but not high enough to eat all of it him/herself.

From what they had on them to create a possession charge of course.

I think the confusion stems from the fact that you started by calling this a “bad story,” then appeared to use a completely unrelated anecdote to prove it was “bad.” That’s how your post read to me, and from the other reply and the number of stars my comment got, it appears that’s how it read to others.

A cop determined to fuck with you can trigger a dog’s drug response on command.

She wasn’t cavity searched when she was booked. She was cavity searched before she had even been arrested, by the side of the road, and then arrested because she struggled while strangers illegally forced their hands into her vagina. There was nothing “routine” about what happened here.

The thought of cops pulling people over for running a stop sign, (which, let’s be real, was more like a lack of a complete stop, and driving while black) is insane.

What does 0.02 ounces of pot look like? It sounds very small for searching through her car for an hour and forcing a cavity search in a parking lot.

I remember in the first article they tried to claim she consented to the search because she said “You can strip searched me”. Huge fucking difference between “you can strip searched me” and “feel free to shove your hand inside of my vagina”. If she even said the thing about the strip search, which is questionable.

I truly don’t understand how cops can rally around each other after one of them goes off the rails and MURDERS someone, only because of the power they feel wearing that badge. How can other cops not feel total shame and try to remedy their reputation by admitting what happened was not okay.

I’m not even sure I wanted to know this. I can’t fathom how her poor parents felt. I’m sure that nothing could be worse than what they imagined but having it proved is awful. I’m sure that they never believed that she was a willing ISIS bride.

Coffee not bad. Coffee good.

A book of ettiquete would have been an acceptable gift.

Wait you’re supposed to bring gifts to bachelorette parties? Is that seriously a thing?

It’s really nice of you to still get her a gift despite everything. Not many people would’ve had the good temper to handle it the way you did.

Great point about the slew of gifts that couples receive— Perhaps the bridesmaid got her a very nice shower gift and thought that covered it. Or maybe she realized her childhood friend was actually the worst and spent the money on a flask to help her get through the wedding day.

I am making the quite likely unwise decision to comment before I click through to the original article, because I didn’t see any mention on the bride’s part that she’s sent a heartfelt thank you letter to her bridesmaid for being part of her wedding party.
