    You can Google budgets, y'know. Total police budget for Warren for 2024 is $56M.

    They've allocated more than $500K on vehicles. They've set aside $500k on fixing up their buildings.

    But they still couldn't buy you a fucking clue.

    And how is that responsive? Did you honestly think I was suggesting it would bankrupt the county or something? It was just another chance to point out double standards.

    :rolleyes:

    I read the article and missed their defense. Could you quote it for me?

    I will agree that it seems he had a history of doing these things and maybe they should not have released him on bail if they knew this, but that might not be the case if the charges were all pending and in multiple courts.

    But you seem to be seeing something written that UI did not, and I would love to see the reason they said they released him knowing of all these events.

    From the good news bad news perspective this is mostly good news, and one little police fuck up that when you look at it from their perspective they got to play with their guns, kill another person, and their PR rep thiniks it was really a mercy killing since she was going to have to deal with the murder of her mom, and burrying her dad.

    Even her uncle seemed to be on the side of the police, or at least standing in front of their gunhs when he said "You can tell he was really trying to save her, so it’s just unfortunate that there was some kind of miscommunication."

    It is really our fault this is all being blown out of proportion because we are all micromanaging dickheads who expect everything to be perfect. If you do not like it then tough titty on you. Unless you are a patriot overthrowing the government for Donald Trump the the thin blue line never fucks up.

    There should never be an off switch on police cameras. I should correct that. There should be an off switch, but every time a cop pushes it there should be a flag that marks that time on the recorded footage because some bullshit is about to go down.

    Even as a white person I know that you put alcohol purchases in the trunk because the police need to make their quota and an open container is an easy violation to manufacture if you have alcohol in the car. Do not give them an easy ding because you are too lazy to open the trunk.

    Kansas newspaper publisher files lawsuit over police raid

    There are, I think, at least three other lawsuits against the city and police department over this raid.

    Obviously they wanted her to drop her lawsuit against them for erroneously shooting her child. So the ACAB figured that if she would not drop the charges she obviously needs to be threatened with losing her children because they can do that, and this will teacvh the next uppity black woman in MS that you do not sue the cops when they shoot your unarmed 11 year old child for obeying their instructions.

    This is how you intimidate and alienate your black communities, and it is all by design, especially when you can do it through a black cop which undermines the racxism claim even though a black person could be just as racially terrified of black males as any white cop.

    I don't deal with a lot of the hard stuff anymore, and I really never dealt with the opiods as it wasn't where I wanted to go when I tried them, so I do not know what they smell like. However, even snorting them seems to be a sucky way to get high, and i think a cop should know. Anyone familiar with drugs knows when you have to snort something just the fine dust in the air is not enough to do anything but tempt you with what is there.

    I could get the problems with stuff like acid where it can be absorbed through the skin, but not opiods.

    Dealing with narcotics safely is part of the job, and if you are that stupid that you give yourself an anxiety attack around them, you should not be put near them in employment. That should be an OSHA violation where we just cannot have someone of your mental capacity doing these things because you will fall the fuck out. Maybe you can do something less dangerous like yoga or meditation. If you are working yourself up into passing out because of lies you have heard we need you to get a fucking helmet.

    If it actually worked that way the dealer would OD, and there would be a flock of junkies around breathing in the fumes he couldn't keep from escaping. It is insulting to swine that such stupid idiots are compared to them.

    it's getting crazy... they're so into the fenny that nobody gives a fuck about smack anymore.

    someone from an SCS remarked o me a while back that they're there's no high, just straight to the nod.

    likewise, it isn't really an OD as one would tend to think of an overdose. All that's really happening physically is their breathing/blood oxygen level drops, which is why it's so essential to have safe spaces and spotters. Ya drop an oxygen mask on them if they go below (i think it's) 85 on the oxymeter and they're usually fine.

    opiods are shitty downers. I can go to sleep on my own. Still, the cops are just making themselves all stupid. You would think that their commanders would bring people in to educate them on this because it is fucking stupid.
