Nothing that a Miata can’t handle. 

Regardless whether or not you’ve done something, there are reasons why the treatment has to be the same and above board and by the book. Otherwise, it’s the fucking Stasi all over again.

That doesn’t in any way justify how this ‘arrest’ was played out. You right wing fools scream about 2nd amendment rights (which you only have due to the terrible decision made in Heller where the full text of the 2nd wasn’t considered), but when others rights are refused them you’re ok with it?

Even if I were unequivocally guilty of vandalism, I would not expect a squad of armed white dudes in t-shirts and shorts to drive by and snatch me off the street. Police officers were uniforms for a reason. 

That’s fine, send some uniforms around to their house, or send some uniforms over to arrest ‘em. That’s what the uniforms are for.

So if some hyper-aggressive men in civilian clothing ran up, surrounded you, and forced you into an unmarked vehicle, you’d be cool with that?

Just in case the judge is on the fence about whether this constitutes Unlawful Detention, or Cruel and Unusual Punishment, I’d like to point out that this is a Kia Sedona.

Plain clothes, running up and snatching someone without clear establishment of what authority you are representing is not how we as Americans accept an arrest. This person was not a violent extremist or anything that would require a tactic of this level. Nor would would we arrest someone who did meet that level in…

Fuck you. 

Do you lick the boot or do you also suck on it too? Like whats your technique.

Also, the negative partisanship is the reason we have no empathy anymore...and when you can look at this an be like “cool” then our democracy is fucking dead.

Perhaps the picture of a cornfield may help.

America in its current condition is borderline failed state.

I could go to lengths on why Churchill is burning in hell and nobody should give a fuck what he thought of anything, but you don’t seem all that interested.

When people trot out the “wait times” trope of socialized medicine, I always have to resist the urge to talk about how I had to wait 9 months for a freakin colonoscopy at one of the biggest hospital networks in the US. And it cost like 2 grand out of pocket for the privilege.

Why should I pay for a fire department then? It’s not my fault you chose to let your house get burned down. It’s not my fault other people might chose to live near you and also be at risk from the fire. You should put it out yourself. Why should I pay for 911? It’s not my fault you chose to live a life that lead to…

Why do I give a shit what a racist asshole thinks of socialism?

It’s a sickening predicament because when it comes to repossession and default, renters get kicked out the fastest. Then comes the car. Then the homeowners, by a LONGSHOT.

yeah, they’re so miserable in Sweden, Norway, Germany, etc. etc. etc. I’ll note that they regularly scoff at American idiots who lie about how things are in other countries:

Tell me how they “Chose” to lose their jobs because their employers couldn’t afford to keep paying them for a job they were literally stopped from doing by ELECTED OFFICIALS, you feckless halfwit
