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?"

Don't leaving us hangin' bro.....there's a bunch of us that haven't carried on like that in a long time......but still like to think back on it...

Congress Just Passed a Bill Addressing Police Killings While No One Was Looking

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."
 
My handicapped (and poor) cousin did Christmas with a cop last week. I assume the cops raised the money, and they each sponsored a kid and got them presents. She went nuts for it.
 
Supreme Court Says Ignorance Of The Law Is An Excuse — If You’re A Cop

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 doesn’t matter whether or not they knew what the law said. If it’s 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 doesn’t 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 Heien’s 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 Heien’s rights when they later searched his car and found cocaine, and that the cocaine evidence can’t 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.
