WTF Sh*t's F*cked Up and Bullsh*t - a "Who Cares" thread for news

The rusty screwdriver is for Texas. For every damn Republican politician in Texas. Bastards.

I am so angry right now all I see is white hot red. I'd like to rip every one of them into tiny little pieces or better yet, subject them to every humiliating and oppressive thing that has been done to me. They'd change their tunes real fast if they survived it all.

In the meantime, I'm doing the best I can to keep that explosion from happening. It wouldn't be the first time I blacked out and went off. Trying to keep the first time the last.

St. Louis asks appeals court to force protestor to pay attorney fees for suing police • Missouri Independent

St. Louis isn't backing down from its fight to have a protestor pay thousands in attorney fees for suing a police officer.

Kristine “Kris” Hendrix filed a lawsuit in 2017 claiming that two St. Louis officers used excessive force, tasing her repeatedly when she was leaving a Black Lives Matter protest.

A St. Louis jury awarded her $3,500 in damages for battery by one of the officers, Stephen Ogunjobi. The other officer, Louis Wilson, was not found at fault.

St. Louis wants Hendrix to pay the $57,000 in attorney fees it amassed defending Wilson, citing a 2007 law. But last year, a circuit court denied the city’s request, saying the city counselor’s office didn’t follow proper procedure in requesting the fees.

On Tuesday, the Missouri Court of Appeals in the Eastern District was asked to reverse that denial, as well as damages awarded as part of Ogunjobi’s guilty verdict.

During Tuesday’s hearing, the city argued the two officers saw that Hendrix had a “closed fist” [...] and that justified them tasing her three times in less than a minute.

Police officers should not have any military training whatsoever. They are civilians, not military and none of them are above the law no matter how high they place themselves on their petard pedestal.

At least one of the two officers has a history of violence :

If they had actual military training they'd probably have a better understanding of appropriate rules of engagement.

Inasmuch as there are far -right aholes in the military, too(see 1/6 defendants), these are probably wannabes like most of the "Patriots", only these have an excuse to play soldier under color of law.
They probably believe all the lies about BLM, too, an even worse mixture.

The military recognizes police as a specialty. Military Police units are given better training than civilian law enforcement. They don't just stick infantry into police armbands.

Which is why I said military and not military police.

I never implied or stated that you implied or stated that you meant military police. I was doing a thing called adding to the fucking conversation. Learn to fucking read.

Not sure what you're on about. All I did was clarify what I said. I'll be sure not to ever do that again.

 

[Spirits Rising]

Oh for fuck sake, knock it the fuck off, both of you.

Clarification is a good thing.

 

[Veritable Quandry]

Of for fuck sake, knock it the fuck off, both of you.

Yes, that was fucking clear.

One can clarify their posts without making a fucking passive aggressive quote that turns it into a critique of someone for having the fucking audacity to post on the fucking topic. Why just clarify an already clear post when you can piss all over the place in the process?

That's nice. Now, you need one of the following:

• a time out
• to step away for a bit
• to grow the fuck up

You're an adult - right?

Just less of the eyeroll bullshit and pretending to be a grown-up while using fifth grade rhetoric, thank you.

You have no place to be giving such a statement right now. None.

You are the arbiter of places? Please explain why I have no reason to be irritated at your post. It was clearly intended to add to the conflict. Unless you are one of those people who truly believe that saying "Calm down" has ever actually calmed anyone down. Especially with an added eyeroll.

Except ... it was not "clearly intended to add to the conflict" nor was any part of that saying "calm down". If you're looking for an argument, look elsewhere - I'm not interested.

Pull whatever crawled up your ass, out.

How's that for "intended to add to the conflict" and "fifth grade rhetoric"?

The important bit, below:

Seriously, you're normally a hell of a lot better than this.
If you're reacting like this to an eye roll and barely being all out ... there's a problem. Handle it.

 

[Veritable Quandry]

That is an excellent way to avoid an argument. I salute your eloquence and wisdom.

 

[Spirits Rising]

Heh, never claimed to be eloquent.

and I am well aware that may well be sarcasm as well. Either way, I hope it at least served as enough of a shock to get the point across.

Off to cook my basic ass dinner of egg noodles, beef broth and sausage slices.
