An ACLU attorney likened the search to being “the sort of thing you hear about in communist China and Russia.”

        Neither did the fire department, it’s a gradual change. They’ll get their guy in the end.

    16 hours later

    Everyone waiting outside: “What’s taking so damn long?”

    Cop, inside: “This would be easier if I knew how to read…”

    The officer didn’t find the book, but police insisted they were obligated to investigate, as a complaint came straight to them.

    And what law was allegedly being broken that required said police investigation? Oh, no law whatsoever? Ergo, the cops are jackbooted fascists? Sounds right to me.

      That would require the cop being self aware. Or educated.

      Wouldn’t surprise me if some online troll made a complaint and picked a random classroom.

        It doesn’t matter where the complaint came from. The issue is cops tearing classrooms apart looking for (checks notes), a book.

          Well, of course. Cops are gonna cop. Good thing there wasn’t a class guinea pig or it would’ve gotten shot.

    Just goes to show, cops will raid a classroom for a book, but not for an active shooter.

    They aren’t here to protect you. They’re here to protect The Man.

    Can we please start a rumor that guns make you gay? Double feature of making conservatives not want guns and not want to be cops.

            None. No stupidity. So you’re driving. You see a hazard ahead. There’s a slight possibility it’s just your eyes and you’re tired. Do you figure it out by plowing into the purported hazard at full speed? Maybe that analogy misses the mark… lmk
