The wrong officer was fired.

Nothing a fleet of ex-military armored vehicles and sufficiently lethal ‘reasonable force’ can’t fix. Those pre-teens won’t know what hit ‘em!

What I don’t understand is why the cop got fired if he was doing what his boss told him to do, sounds like the Lt. is the one that should have been fired.

From what I’m understanding, the first officer on the scene. He let the child go. But the lieutenant and his power-tripping puppets showed up and forced the first officer to change his statement and arrest the child.

This is Mississippi-the same state that once declared Sesame Street unsuitable for children, because seeing an integrated neighborhood on TV would confuse the state’s children.

Hopefully the lieutenant. But I doubt it. 

Hold on.

I’m confused. The officer was going to let him off with a warning, but the lieutenant encouraged him to arrest the kid?

I spent a lot of time in Senatobia for a previous job. It’s a... Special place. 

So, which cop got fired? The first one who spotted the kid peeing, or the lieutenant who insisted on sending him to jail because he was black and they were in Mississippi?

If you can find a 3rd Gen Prius with under/at 100,000 miles for near/at 10,000...it feels like a good buy as an only vehicle with good fuel economy and reliability. Plus most people are surprised how much stuff they can swallow up, especially with the back seats down.

The best decision I ever made was not buying a car. I’ve worked for a major automaker for the better part of a decade. When I got hired my daily driver was a car made by another automaker. I eventually replaced our family vehicle with something made by my company, but I never replaced my commuter car. Despite being a…

why do people still live in those backwater states?

It’s sadly because he was black. Shit I am a grown ass adult and coming home from a Christmas party in Galveston, I was about 20 minutes or so from home but far outside of town, knowing full well I wasn’t going to make it to the next gas station, puled off the exit to a road I know would have no traffic, went under…

An operable car with 50-75 miles of range would be worth saving — you could certainly sell a car like that for $1000 in the US unless it had other significant issues. For example, I cannot find a Mitsubishi iMiEV for sale *under* $5000 and many Smart fourtwo EV’s are still over $10k.

Blah Blah Blah the kid is black and Im a cop, Blah Blah Blah

They’re pretty much old taxis, ride shares, and etc that’s got shitty range like the old leafs that gets like 60 miles a charge... I can guarantee that even though they’re relatively new, they probably all got on average like 30-50k+ miles easily on them from how much use has gotten out of them.

These were all owned by rideshare companies that failed. It’s not a collapse of the EV market in China. In the US the batteries are already being recycled and the recycling is capable of getting 95% of the materials out. This article and the one it based off of is uninformed, unresearched FUD.

Yep, that was my thought. That was a shitty excuse, or if he really felt that shitty that he can’t follow directions then he shouldn’t have flown.
