The surprise police are still trying to figure out what story to tell.

Cops can't aim for shit.

Edit: The fact that this joke is believable enough to get you guys bent out of shape really goes to show how fucked up things are with the police in this country. Y'all are like "Get the pitchforks, the police didn't shoot the baby this time!". It's hilarious and depressing at the same time. I'll be sure to add the /s next time.

Mosquitoes are swarming around Houston. The future could bring even more. ( wapo.st )

US prisoners are being assigned dangerous jobs. But what happens if they are hurt or killed? ( apnews.com )

Blas Sanchez was nearing the end of a 20-year stretch in an Arizona prison when he was leased out to work at Hickman’s Family Farms, which sells eggs that end up in the supply chains of huge companies like McDonald’s, Target and Albertsons. While assigned to a machine that churns chicken droppings into compost, his right leg...

Can we get the first names of officers Perkinson and Becerra? They should be publically shamed for murdering someone for being brown.

Also, never ever ever call the fucking police to check on your loved one! How many times do they have to kill someone during a wellfare check for people to wake the fuck up? ACAB

One of the greatest moments in my life was when I was a young adult and realized I could just ignore someone at my door and leave them standing there. I didn't invite your ass to just show up so fuck right off.

Phone calls too. You better ask via text or something first if you expect me to stop what I'm doing to listen to your bullshit. Voicemail? Oh no, I never completed the setup so you can't leave a message. So sorry!

I think the backlash they got is terrible but I can also understand why a business wouldn't waste time selling products in a market that doesn't want said products. That's valuable floor space and other resources that could be used for something that will sell there. Target is not the bad guy here.

I recall reading years ago that Siberia has enough methane under its ice to cause a feedback loop that would kill everyone if it escaped. So there's that I guess.

I think that rule applied to the guillotine. If the blade stopped on the way down it was considered an act of god or some such.

You can stop right there. This relationship is already pretty well doomed without going further. All that other drama is just more nails in the coffin. Walk away.

I don't think you're listening. Small vehicles are not sold in America anymore. When was the last time you saw a new two door car?
Americans are buying larger vehicles because that's the only option.
That's the only option because the fuel economy rules in this country are broken.

To be fair, that said tactic is used by just about every legal team backed by millions. Just drag shit out forever while the other side bleeds money. It's why small businesses and individuals are fucked when up against the rich. It doesn't matter who's right or wrong in our justice system when big money is involved.

I have no idea why you’re being downvoted. The fishing industry is possibly the biggest monster in the world and people are just fine with what they can not see. I used to own a sailboat. I can tell say first hand it can be disgusting out there. Ya’ll need to watch some documentaries. Thousands of marine animals are being slaughtered right now while you’re reading this.

It’s a one time incident. This is like when everyone lost their minds when a single turtle got a straw stuck in its nose. I’m not saying that wasn’t a bad thing. Just like I never said someone shooting a dolphin isn’t horrible.

But why offer a 20K reward for this while completely ignoring the mass slaughter taking place every day? Talk about unproductive.

I feel like they should be doing battery swaps or something. Switching cars isn’t going to drive the industry forward. I’m happy Formula E exists though. It’s a good start.

Even if it’s legal, they’re tearing that shit down to build another overpriced apartment complex.
