Well here we go again with a superfluous law suit:
Families of Newtown victims sue rifle manufacturer

Boning other dudes to the tune of In The Navy?
EDIT: I'm not gonna lie. Some really weird **** involving infused vodka, Barry White, us Tennessee dudes, and Texas women went down last night. I'm a little traumatized.
Don't ever let the night start off with "Anyone wanna play strip Spades or Risk by candlelight?"

Another older man can be seen exiting the auto mart where the stop took place and yelled at Robinson What in the hell are you doing? This gentleman is 76 years old. He told the Victoria Advocate, The cop told me to stand back, but I didnt shut up. I told him he was a godd**m Nazi Stormtrooper.
After watching nationwide protests unfold against police brutality, members of Congress did what they have seemed incapable of doing for years: something.
A bill passed by both chambers of Congress and headed to President Barack Obama's desk will require local law enforcement agencies to report every police shooting and other death at their hands. That data will include each victim's age, gender and race as well as details about what happened.
"You can't begin to improve the situation unless you know what the situation is," bill sponsor Rep. Bobby Scott (D-Va.) told the Washington Post. "We will now have the data."
There is one simple concept that law students learn in their very first weeks of criminal law class: Ignorance of the law is no excuse. This principle means that when an individual violates the law, it doesnt matter whether or not they knew what the law said. If its a crime, and they are found to have committed the elements of that crime, they are guilty.
On Monday, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled that the same standard doesnt necessarily apply to police. In a splintered 8-1 ruling, the court found that cops who pulled over Nicholas Heien for a broken taillight were justified in a subsequent search of Heiens car, even though North Carolina law says that having just one broken taillight is not a violation of the law.
The ruling means that police did not violate Heiens rights when they later searched his car and found cocaine, and that the cocaine evidence cant be suppressed at a later trial. But it also means that the U.S. Supreme Court declined the opportunity to draw a line limiting the scope of police stops, at a time when they are as rampant and racially disproportionate as ever. Instead, police may have considerably more leeway to stop passengers on the road, even in a number of jurisdictions that had previously said cops are not justified in mistakes of law.
