Giant_Aspirin 05/09/24 9:56:03 AM #14 | the only way this will EVER change is if we start paying for these lawsuits from the police pension funds instead of with taxpayer money. or maybe cops should be required to carry liability insurance, similar to doctors.

I think they are required though. Too often it never happens. They need to be charged with some type of murder. did some quick searching and found this https://www.mattieforelaw.com/does-florida-law-allow-no-knock-searches-like-the-one-that-caused-breonna-taylors-death Florida is one of two states in the United States that prohibits the issuance of no-knock warrants. This ban was originally issued in the 1994 Florida Supreme Court case of State v. Bamber and was later enacted by statute.This means that a judge cannot issue a search warrant that authorizes police to enter a residence without first announcing their presence. but we all know cops selectively follow laws, especially when minorities are involved. edit: but that wouldn't apply here b/c they did knock. they did not identify themselves as police, though. --- I hope something good happens to you today Playing: God of War: Ragnarok |

Fortson was alone in his apartment when he heard a knock at the door. He asked who was there but didn't get a response. A few minutes later, there was a very aggressive knock on the door, Crump said in a statement, but Fortson didn't see anyone when he looked out the peephole.

Bro that is absolutely something that should be taken care of, wtf, a trunk full of drugs that little kids are checking out is very very bad. i have zero objections to taking the weed away from the children, she was right in doing so. but her expectations regarding the reaction by LEOs are unrealistic, as seen by their response.

"theres a trunk full of drugs in the parking lot and nobody is doing anything about it!?!!?!?!?!?!". like, chill out lady. its just weed and if you don't want it, just toss it in a dumpster or something. but she's over here acting like she found a pound of fent with how she expects the police to react. --- I hope something good happens to you today Playing: God of War: Ragnarok |

Wasn't the first one (only attractive person) essentially a Twilight Zone episode? Basically, beauty standards were so skewed that what we see as beauty was actually seen as ugly and repulsive in that world, and the surgery that the main character tried to get to "beautify" themselves failed when they came out looking like a regular, attractive by our standards person. that was the one with the pig faces. --- I hope something good happens to you today Playing: God of War: Ragnarok |

In her defense, carrying that much weed IS illegal in CA. when asked "is marijuana illegal?" she said "yes". she has no idea what she's doing. bigblu89 posted... Maybe its just the parent in me, but if 4 elementary aged kids that I dont know come up to me and ask if weed is illegal, Im probably telling them Yes as well. Because at their age, it is. if a group of kids found a 6-pack of beer and asked you if it was illegal, would you say "Yes" for thes same reason? or would you tell them "this is for adults"? --- I hope something good happens to you today Playing: God of War: Ragnarok |
