Burn baby burn! Did he douse himself in everclear? Where was the fire extinguisher if he was covered in flammable liquid? I would have co2'd his head until his fucking ears froze off before tackling him through the cloud.
I think you're pretty close. I'd bet he was just slathered with Axe body spray or the like. Almost certainly some kind of alcohol.

This is worse: police officers are looking for a car with a black suspect on the run. In a parking lot they see a similar car but belonging to a Hispanic family.
The cops order the dog to "inspect" the baby in the back...and the dog almost kills him, with multiple bites.

The 18 month old baby suffered I believe 9 bites ranging from serious to very serious. I think it says that the city temporarily suspended the binomial from service, paid the family $4000 for health/legal expenses, and is offering them $9000 more, but the family cannot collect it until a judge wants to authorize it (?).

Try nine million. Gotta seriously penalize those cowboys.

The example given here isn't even unusual. A few years ago, the town of Coburg in Oregon thought they had found a bonanza for their police dept when they started patrolling the interstate highway where it passed through their jurisdiction. There was no reason to do so. I-5 passes through a small section of the town and does not touch surface streets. There was no threat to public safety but the town got almost 2/3 of their PD's budget funded through its aggressive speed trap. Meanwhile burglary, rape, etc. went pretty much status quo with most crimes going unsolved. The state authorities shut that scheme down because it violated state laws and there was fishy accounting going on. But still the people in charge of the department could not see that they were violating the public's trust when they chose to turn police officers into tax agents for the city.


We are having a discussion elsewhere about how Bannon should not be charged for contempt of Congress even though he just committed the crime in daylight and in front of the whole world. The reason? The poster believes an attempt to convict won't be successful. Any you know what? He might be right.

This is really shitty logic but I'll say it anyway. Cops spend a huge amount of time controlling the public and writing tickets that help fund their operations. Yet most serious crimes don't get solved. Once a report of a rape (for example) is written, the police go back to monitoring traffic instead of working to solve violent crimes.

He had a legally owned gun in a place he's legally allowed to be. He was also trained. If you look where the gun comes out, even with being asleep, the yelling and screaming and lights, he maintained his trigger discipline, index finger along the barrel horizontal to the ground.

I could see that shit on a half assed body cam, from a cop 10 feet away. The cop that shot him couldn't have missed it. Fuck me...
