Some employees of a Shake Shack in New York poisoned police officers with bleach in their milk shakes.

or

The NYPD launched an investigation after the officers fell ill and determined early Tuesday morning that there was no criminality by employees, according to a tweet from NYPD Detective Chief Rodney Harrison.
Investigators believe a cleaning solution used to clean the milkshake machines wasn't fully cleared and may have gotten into the officers' drinks.

That is a good question. Looks very suspicious. But, the police did investigate and so far came to the conclusion noted.

Maybe they were just trying to protect the men in blue from COVID-19.

Or "captain of a pirate ship"?

Uh, Kavanaugh didn't write that. Alito did. And where was anyone called a "captain of a pirate ship"?
What Alito said was "The Courts opinion is like a Pirate Ship. It sails under a textualist flag, but what it actually represents is a theory of statutory interpretation that Justice Scalia excoriated--the theory that courts should "update" old statutes so that they better reflect the current values of society".

What Alito was getting at was that "sex" (gender) should have been defined as it had already been established as referring to gender in a 1964 decision, and there are now over 100 Federal Laws written and in effect for "sex" protection as defined by that 1964 decision. He was stating that the majority decision while portrayed as a decision based upon preexisting "text" it actually was an update of that "text" and that now, since this was an update, that there was a slippery slope where those 100 federal laws could be challenged, thereby creating chaos.

So where is the personal attack?

Uh, did I say Kavanaugh was the source of the "pirate" analogy?

Two weeks ago the Atlanta DA stated that a taser is a deadly weapon under Georgia law.

This dude ruined his own case against that officer he overcharged.

That is a problem. You can’t have it both ways. If it’s a deadly weapon on the two college kids (out after curfew), it’s a deadly weapon when a guy passed out behind the wheel in a Wendy’s drive thru wrestles it from the cops and shoots it at them.

Regardless, you cannot shoot a person running away in the back. You know who he is, you have his car, he has already blown for the DUI, he’s fought the cops on video, he’s running away. The ONLY way you can lose this is............to shoot him in the back.

I'm not sure the officer should have pulled the trigger, but I'm positive the charges are trumped up political bullshit. The Wendy's already got the death penalty in this case.

Investigation wasn’t even finished. Plus the DA is under fire for embezzlement and sexual harassment with an election coming. He doesn’t give two shits about this case and if it’s handled the right way. He simply wants to make sure he keeps his job, which he probably doesn’t deserve.
