  1. The only update I could find is that "the girl’s mother, Tamara Taylor, sued the officers, as well as the City and County of Honolulu, the Hawaii Department of Education and the school’s vice principal in January 2022", but that the "three Honolulu police officers believe they shouldn’t have to be part of a lawsuit that contends they used excessive force and wrongfully arrested a 10-year-old girl at school over a supposedly offensive drawing in 2020." and "A federal judge said there was still a shortage of information about the origin and intent of the drawing." so it's all in legal limbo.

  2. I'm reminded yet again of the Edward Abbey saying 'There is no situation so bad that the cops can't make it worse.'

  3. I've heard other stories about someone with a squatter problem enlisting the assistance of various groups of people you wouldn't want to make angry to help resolve the problem. Always entertaining.

  4. Or a judge, politician, or local business leader. Like I said elsewhere, the only time I ever saw a story where the police quickly evict a squatter was when it happened in a neighborhood of multi-million dollar homes. Try squatting in the home of a Sheriff or any other law enforcement officer and the squatters next place of residence will probably be the morgue.

  6. Clueless cop earning the hate and making the job worse for the rest of them.

  7.  @Tzizenorec  Sometimes, but it's more complicated than that in most cases. First, even in states with Castle Doctrine and Stand Your Ground laws there are still variation about those laws from state to state, and sometimes at the local level, that take into account a variety of factors. After that, a judge or prosecutor might not be all that dismissive about a civilian homeowner taking it upon themself to execute an unarmed squatter. Especially if the squatter is a juvenile or didn't have a history of violence or any major felonies in their record or there was a cell phone recording or a 911 call from them showing the person wasn't armed or being aggressive. And we're mostly talking about the more unusual instances when someone comes home from a vacation or other time away and finds someone in their home. If it happened in an unoccupied rental, vacation, or inherited piece of property you'd probably have to rely on any local Stand Your Ground laws for legal defense if you're going to go in and kill the "intruder". And if I learned anything from cop shows, make sure you bring a clean drop weapon and only put their prints on it. Or just be rich and/or powerful which is the main point the OP and I are making.

  8.  @wallychambe1587  We used to jump on them or ride our bikes over them and have the mechanics come out and yell at us to get the hell out of there. Good times!

  10. Children were always mine. Especially in a restaurant. Unless the kid is really well-behaved they are damn near always at least annoying to both the staff and other guests. And then the parents get indignant and angry when someone says something.

  11.  @reginaschellhaas1395  I appreciate that. Good manners never go out of style. Just a shame so few parents have any style themselves these days. I might yell at the kid but I blame the parent.

  12. What do people who live in a northern state during the summer and southern state in the winter do? Are they changing their plates and getting new licenses twice a year?

  13. The city of Atlanta needs to pull it's head out of it nethers and go after the demo company.

  14. Knowing the depraved things some people do to vulnerable people and animals it shouldn't be any surprise they things they'll do to a machine. Crazy idea but maybe we should stop tolerating and often encouraging assholes and other awful people.

  17. Resigned? Nah - needed to be fired, decertified, and held criminally and civilly liable for that crap.

  18. Should put the company out of business and jail the owner and guy who towed the truck. They have no mercy or sympathy so why should we?

  19. The police can already generally get away with this kind of nonsense. Imagine if Trump gets back in office and indemnifies them - they'll really be running wild in the streets!

  20. The trespassing neighbor should have to forfeit their property and everything on the property to the person who's rights they helped the officials violate. And the officials should have to pay a mid six-figure settlement as well.

  21.  @tobitsdogcasenerd  The federal district judge got it wrong. Not all that uncommon.

  22. ​ @tobitsdogcasenerd  I was initially writing aspirationally about my opinion of what I believed should have happened, and then made a generalization referring to all judges in the US legal system (when I wrote "Not all that uncommon"). I'm just shit-posting, dude. Have a good one.

  23. The only time I've ever heard of a squatter being removed from a home by the police was when it happened in a neighborhood of multi-million dollar homes. Imagine that.

  25. I know there are at least a few good cops out there somewhere. Just by the numbers, there have to be at least a few. Maybe? No?

  26. South Africa? Not likely. Somebody committed fraud and stole that guys land.

  27. That was always one of the dumbest things about Oregon. And they would get really bent if you started to do it yourself.

  29. Every dog owner that doesn't get rid of their dog's crap for days on end during the summer needs to be sued too. Talk about an unpleasant environment!

  30. Wonder what people do who are snowbirds and spend summers up north and winters down south.
