  • 'Millions of lethal doses' of heroin were actually 99.999% water in federal 'drug' bust

  • If anyone the police pay to test things is automatically suspect, how are the police to test anything in a way that you’d trust?

    According to the article, the barrels were independently tested at the request of the defense, which is why we have this whole story in the first place. What would more independent testing accomplish at this point?

  • The cops aren’t the ones who tested the barrels. But feel free to keep rearranging the goal posts about backing up a claim with anything of substance.

  • Your issue is you think it's all or nothing. I never said I didn't think police would do anything improper. Obviously many of them do. But I'm also not just going to take your assertion based solely on the idea that it's "common knowledge." Common knowledge is a term for assumptions people make with no other proof of than, "Yeah, that sounds right to me."

  • I agree with the principal idea, but if this is as much of a prevailing issue as you’re making it out to be, it shouldn’t be too hard to produce even a single solid source beyond your own convictions of, “Well that’s just how the world works!”

  • I doubt a false positive here. Clearly something weird about the cargo to begin with - what the hell else are a couple of dudes going across states in a uhaul doing with 55 gallon drums of water? The water wars aren’t set to start for another few decades, I think. Not really a commodity that needs to be shipped, and if it were I doubt it would be shipped by uhaul.

    I mean seriously, just look at the situation and analyze it with some common sense. ACAB, but not every single interaction with them is a conspiracy.

  • Now see, if you’d have kept your mouth shut instead of letting the diarrhea keep falling out, we’d all likely have come away thinking you were just ignorant instead of a complete idiot.

  • Florida to end vaccine mandates for children as state’s surgeon general likens them to ‘slavery’

    Jump

  • Thanks to our steady transition from America to Dumb-fuck-istan, the only purpose in life a lot of children will have is to serve as sad, painful lessons for their parents. I just hope they don't have to suffer any more than necessary while teaching them those lessons.

  • Does the appreciation for the taste of boot leather come naturally, or did you have to develop a taste for it over time?

  • Boy, 11, shot dead after playing doorbell-ringing prank in Houston, police say

    Jump

  • With our mix of rabid gun hysteria and mentally ill folks with little to no options for treatment, I’m only surprised this didn’t happen sooner.

    ETA:

    In May, a man in Virginia was charged with second-degree murder after he shot and killed a teenager who had filmed a TikTok video playing the doorbell game on the man’s home at 3am, according to local police reports.

    Oh, so it did happen sooner. Children getting shot to death just isn’t newsworthy enough anymore for it to have been a noticeable story. Go figure.

  • For that matter, why even have a community for that cesspool of a site on Lemmy? Most of us came here to get away from that drivel.

  • It’s been a while since I’ve been in a history class, but I wanna say France was typically considered the US’s closest ally during and after the revolutionary war. Not sure how close that relationship has stayed since, though.
