That officer was "fired" for similar abuses from a different department in 2013. Eventually being reinstated AND given back pay before then moving to Fort Worth and doing it again. He received no punishment and it is very likely this case will resolve in a similar fashion. The police union is currently defending him, this will end up in arbitration just like when he was fired in Irving.

I hear ads on the radio that polestar is giving 20k trade in for your Tesla. Idk their financing options so they might still be expensive, but I wouldn't be surprised if other electric car makers will give similar incentive to switch brands.

How would Asperger's cause someone to do a nazi salute?

In this case they were bad calls. Even the ESPN announcers and rules analyst said they were bad calls. The issue here was poor officiating.

There is no "if," he did cheat on his taxes for over a million dollars. Yes, go after all of them! The only reason Hunter got away for so long was because of who his dad is, so kind of karmic that it came back around for the same reason. Hunter received far more leniency for a long time for drugs, gun, and financial crimes due to his wealth and families influence and Joe Biden was instrumental in making sure poor people who do the same thing get punished harshly. Until it was HIS son, then all the excuses came out.

Also, if you read the fucking article yourself, it never goes into details on the tax charges.

This article does not, but none of this is new. We have known about these crimes for years. You displayed absolutely zero curiosity about what crimes he did in your haste to whitewash Biden's hypocrisy. We will not get better politicians or leaders until we demand it.

I do not care that Hunter was not a politician, though that never prevented him from getting paid off his family name and only avoided punishment for so long because of who his father is. I do not care why the charges come about, these rich fucks need to pay. Maybe if the Democrats were willing to see that the rich and powerful actually face consequences Trump and all these right wing grifters might have been dealt with before they came to power. But back when Trump and Kushner were donating to Democratic campaigns none of them managed to give a shit. We should strive for a higher standard of morality than Donald fucking Trump.

I don't know anything about the tax evasion conviction. If it was serious, then sure, fuck him.

If you can't even be bothered to read an article about it why should any weight be given to your opinion. The tax fraud was 1.4 million dollars and he actively lied on his returns to avoid payment. He effectively stole over a million dollars, fuck him and all tax cheats.

so its not that much different than all the pardons Trump did in his first term for all the fraud convictions.

I'm glad we hold our leaders to such rigorous standards. As long as Trump is corrupt and using power to benefit himself it's fine if we do it!

Didn't Biden say that he would not pardon Hunter? Was he lying the whole time?

I agree with both of you. 😂😂

Correct me if I'm wrong, but if they reschedule it it is no longer federal illegal. States that want to ban it would still have their laws but removing it from banned substance lists would also remove the federal road blocks to legal use; banking rules, insurance, etc. It should be decheduled entirely and then legislators, state and federal, could decide legality.
