Brickbat: Like a Good Neighbor

Two men who loaded up an RV with supplies to help Hurricane Harvey victims managed to get to those in need, but not before being harassed by a Texas cop. "My patience is running thin because my house is flooded, too, and I gotta be out here helping people. I appreciate that you're here, but we've had enough," the cop told them in an exchange that was caught on video.

And now these people know what Live Aid was like.
Just send all the 'addicts' from up north down to 'treatment' in FL and TX. Which would consist mostly of peeling vegetables but at least it would save them from 'certain death'.
The cop must have been in a good mood. He didn't civil asset forfeiture them.

Hey, the cop's got the right idea - you keep bailing people out of trouble and they never learn to stay out of trouble. Let those victims suffer and maybe they'll think twice about living in a danger zone.
