Brickbat: Trashy Behavior

Former Ventura County, California, sheriff's deputy Richard Charles Barrios III has been sentenced to one year in prison followed by two years probation after pleading guilty to destroying physical evidence. Barrios tossed in a trash can the results of a drug test showing that a woman he arrested for driving under the influence had no controlled substances in her body. He then told a supervisor the woman refused to give a urine sample. After the woman complained to another deputy, the second deputy found the drug test. The woman provided a second sample, which also tested negative. The charges against her were dropped, and she was freed.

Sheriff's deputy Richard Charles Barrios III, quite loudly and sternly, to the woman: "I've had ENOUGH of yer shit!"
Deputy, now quietly and slyly, adds: "And now I'd like some of your piss? Please?" (Deputy Sly-Dawg was into "golden showers").
If Deputy Sly-Dawg had only been content with the ingredients for just ONE "golden shower", this would have all worked out fine!!! But NOOOO... He's got to get greedy, and go for yet MORE!!!

Is Lisa's comment a reply to The Plucky Squirrell? Like in some kind of "jobs" and "showers" slang code for stand-your-ground working cougars?
Don’t know. Both are muted.
If you like your drug test, you can keep your drug test.
That's "The Gubmint's" demonic possession test--it's what destroys "your" rights.
"The charges against her were dropped, and she was freed."
Just wondering, did they seize her house and car and cash?
Were any dogs shot?
Oh yes, to all of that: she was freed, man, freed of the burden of taking care of all that shit.
Kudos to Ventura County for investigating then prosecuting a bad cop.
Might be appropriate to review all of Barrios’ convictions involving “he said, she said.”
Every previous arrest this sociopath made should be investigated.
Finally! Only sending cops and prosecutors to prison will reduce bullshit like this.
Sending bigot politicians off to work for a living by running non-prohibitionists and defeating them gets to the source of the thugs.
About time a bad cop got real justice! To celebrate, we shall forego the usual puns. (Not much to work with here anyway—the most I could manage would be a throw-away comment or two…)
To celebrate, we shall forego the usual puns.
Oh, piss off.
“Oh, piss off.” —I’d pass the urine tests just like she did! (Don’t even think of turning the lab results into junk science!)
Prosecutors knew right away catching this bad cop was in the bag.
Glad tidings for the Holiday!
He should have been prosecuted for false imprisonment, and perjury for his report.
Courts will nevertheless continue to consider the testimony of law enforcement as the gospel.
So first cops plant drugs on people. Then when the innocent react, they shoot them and plant a throwdown gun for extra qualified immunity. Now these sleazy tools of the looter Kleptocracy destroy evidence damaging to their officious extortion racket. Is there a party for people who want to vote for repeal of these religious prohibition laws?
