The Thread for WTF and Other News

As far as I know, we don't have a general news thread. This isn't political, covid, or strange news so I'll start this thread.

The headline doesn't do justice to how awful this is.

Am I a joke to you?



Edit: Oh, you mean general news. Carry on.

How about outrage news? I almost put this in the shooting thread because, while it doesn't involve a shooting (yet), it does involve what clearly appears to be police misconduct.

This is why I tell people to stay out of Alabama.

Yup. This is just one town, but it is not the only one. I imagine you can find other places just like it in other states in the deep south as well. If you ever ride through somewhere and ask "how does such a small town have so many nice Police vehicles?" it is probably too late.

Honestly, Alabama and Mississippi are probably 50 and 51 on my list of states I want to ever visit.

Huntsville is nice. It is worth it to go to tour the Redstone Arsenal and the space center there. Just a good day trip kind of place. And Dreamland BBQ is worth a stop by if you ever get a chance. Just insanely good. Other than that, both states are crap-holes.

There are so many towns like this around the country. I remember reading about one that was right outside a casino (maybe Florida?) that would use civil forfeiture on anyone they pulled over because so many had a lot of cash on them.

Definitely lots of small towns where police misconduct is an issue. Like Chicago, for instance.

I'd be saying WTF and not so nice if I was her, but that's some dedication to the job. Probably still on a high from knowing it's her last week on the job...

OUCH!

Guillermo Rigondeaux, former boxing world titlist, severely burns both corneas in cooking accident

Info I did not know.

There's optimism. Corneas generally begin to regenerate in 48 to 72 hours, but the process can take up to two weeks.

Some local nutzo parents have doing the usual, trying to ban books, which led to this gem recently at a meeting. (It's a reddit thread, I'm not smart enough to isolate the video).
