1st rate police work DPD

Perhaps the bikers doing burnouts are just doing their own form of "artful expression", who are we to judge which is better?

Are you saying the First Amendment defends throttle/clutch operation?

I'll have to use that next I get pulled over. I was just expressing myself, officer.




This continues to be the most ridiculous thing I have seen in the news for some time. Nothing better illustrates gay fragility than choosing a monument to mark how they were arbitrarily "born that way" and getting bent when someone drives over it in a way they don't like.

In the right circumstances... if you were doing it on your own property, making tire marks on your own drive/parking lot- what could they do about it? The only difference is this is a public road, and the LGBTXYZPDQ's got permission to violate DOT code on a public roadway.

I personally don't see the appeal of a bunch of plain bars in different colors of the rainbow- but someone let them put it on a public street... they probably had to do it that way because they couldn't get the city to pay for it (unlike Austin or Denver, who not only paid for it but waste taxpayer dollars "protecting" it while crimes against other people's property are put aside due to manpower issues).

good point about the fragility, too... I wonder if they put these stoopid crossbows (or is it rainwalks?) just to illicit a reaction, like the Westboro Church of Lawyers.

Reminds me of the Koran burners... They went out, bought a Koran, and burned it. Didn't go well IIRC.

This is even better. Lady reporter arrested for filming police activity on the street. She was released 10 minutes later with no charges. Seems like DPD has some unusual priorities. After watching all the incidents on the interwebz, I have added dashcams with gps metrics. You got to to film everything these days, just to protect yourself in court. Still tame compared to Miami...

That story has everything...

HIPAA covers treatment on a public sidewalk, in full view of the public
Videoing a public sidewalk is interference when the LEO has to walk down the sidewalk to confront
First Amendment doesn't supersede HIPAA
Journalists are special and can video things in public that the public can't while in public
