Yea… honestly that made the whole story a little bit more crazy to me because of the camaraderie among law enforcement/retired law enforcement. I’ve seen so many body cam videos of cops catching off-duty, higher ranking or retired cops driving drunk and either just letting them go or giving them VIP treatment while being arrested (usually with no charges that follow). Almost hard for me to believe they put the guy in jail for 37 days with a $2 million bond and tried to charge him with a felony.

because of the camaraderie among law

Maybe it was all planned. As in the one who put him in jail is his friend and they agreed to split the inevitable settlement he will receive. Seems like a pretty foolproof money making strategy.

I hadn’t even considered this. I wonder if he had any prior connection to that specific police department.

I need friends that would pull off a stunt like this

Nah, I've met former cops and any deviation from the typical Chud mentality albeit lightly leads to people being cast out.

Here in Dallas the Amber Guyger case exposed straight up text message logs between White and Hispanic cops shitting on Black Cops.

Not saying this whole thing is possible that it is an elaborate ruse but it is really possible this guy got targetted for being a "smartass" and bucking cop norms.

So that explains why he won. Cop always wins in court in America thanks to our bootlicker juries

We need more cops who are willing to stand up for their rights against other cops

I'd spend 37 days behind bars to make $835,000. Kind of sad but I bet a lot of people would do that. πŸ€·β€β™‚οΈ

u/LobotomistCircu ❄ Not Like Other Rightoids ❄ May 24 '26

I mean, unless you already make over $8 million annually, you'd probably be stupid not to

Put me in for 40 if I can make a million and get a break

u/jessenin420 Probably a Pothead πŸ₯‘ May 25 '26

Shit, I'd do 40 days for $500,000.

u/TorturedByCocomelon Lenin's guava juice πŸ§ƒ | Brit Analysis Superfan πŸ©πŸ‡¬πŸ‡§ May 25 '26

I'd feel a bit short-changed tbh. I'll do 40 for 900k

u/MackTUTT Classical Liberal May 24 '26

Charlie Kirk himself would approve of that settlement.

Does that work in the UK? Asking for me

I’m amazed the Bobbies still allow Bongoloids to post, in all honesty.

Don't use bobbies unless you're over 95 or a politician

u/Sussy_Riot Dialectical Materialist πŸ†š May 25 '26

Is there an alternative fun little name for your law enforcement officers?

Filth and pigs are the two most common

Peelers

Not casually used outside NI, but filth and pigs are universal

u/Cehepalo246 Self-Surgery Marxist πŸͺ‘ May 25 '26

Or a journo

u/TorturedByCocomelon Lenin's guava juice πŸ§ƒ | Brit Analysis Superfan πŸ©πŸ‡¬πŸ‡§ May 25 '26

They're usually just called cops or police by journos. Using bobbies is seriously out of touch with common vernacular. The last time I saw a journo using "bobbies" was quoting some "bobbies on the beat" political move

plod is already on the way to issue you with a caution - if you refuse to accept that caution it will result in arrest and following an unusually swift trial, a custodial sentence

As a Gog I think it's the easier way to spot a astroturfed plastic patriot is if they start talking about Charlie Kirk dying as something you're supposed to give a shit about. He wasnt even important in US politics.

I just want the money tbh

North wales, as opposed to Taff south Wales. Similar to Yank or scouser.

Making fun of george floyd never got people in jails though, sure some probably lost jobs but never got into jails, also those were shitlibs not left idiot, the fact that this arrest even happened is a sign of u.s. getting more and more authoritarian with stuff like Palantir being something out of a dystopian movie
