Brickbat: Special Victims Unit

An internal report has found that five of the nine detectives in the New Orleans Police Department sex crimes unit may have failed to investigate 1,111 sex crimes. In one case, a 2-year-old was brought to a local emergency room after an alleged sexual assault. Tests showed the child had a sexually transmitted disease. But Det. Akron Davis wrote that the 2-year-old "did not disclose any information that would warrant a criminal investigation" and closed the case.

Looking at the photo, inertia is understandable.

The department has transferred the five detectives to "patrol-related duties" and has instituted policies to ensure cases are being thoroughly investigated, he said.

Suddenly cars rolling through stop signs aren't being pulled over in NOLA.

[Suthenboy]

What? That is a fineable offense. You can bet they are on that.

In related news, Hit & Run webmasters are being transferred to print edition-related duties after failing to investigate Oliver's Brickbat links over a three year period.

Errors were encountered, procedures were followed, disallowed characters...Editor safety...Totality of circumstances...and nothing else happened.

On the bright side, they'll be making 20% more.

What kind of sick fuck molests a 2 year old? And then what kind of sick fuck ignores it?

[Florida Man]

Probably somebody who was molested and lazy, immune agents of the state.

[Scruffy Nerfherder]

It takes a special kind of indifference to do both. I want to believe that the molester is certifiably insane, but I can't give that benefit to the agents.

[Florida Man]

Right. At least the molester is sick in the head. What is the agents excuse?

[BuSab Agent]

Monopoly: high price, low (no) service.

[Old Man With Candy]

Bitch set me up.

[BuSab Agent]

Working link

[BuSab Agent]

Tell me again why we need police?

[Doctor Whom]

To cast the appropriate magic spell on your vehicle so that the insurance company will pay. I can't think of another reason.

[Suthenboy]

This is no surprise. Pray for another Katrina.

Hey, it's tough, but it beats workin'.

[Doctor Whom]

But in other jurisdictions, if a trauma that would be there isn't, the accused can still be tried and even convicted. Is our entire criminal-justice system recruited from Bizarro World?

[Spartacus]

It's the Rule of Law.

And by "Law," I mean "hundreds of drunken monkeys scribbling shit on pieces of paper, and leaving it up to mendacious half-wits to interpret and enforce."
