Brickbat: Pissed Off

Senatobia, Mississippi, Police Chief Richard Chandler said an officer involved in detaining a 10-year-old boy who urinated in public is "no longer employed" by the department. He also said that other officers involved in the incident will face discipline. Chandler did not specify whether the officer quit or was fired, what discipline the other officers might receive, or what their names are. The boy urinated behind his mother's car while she was inside a lawyer's office. The officers gave the boy a citation for "child in need of services" and took him to the police station. It isn't clear if that citation has been rescinded.

It sounds like the Senatobia Police Department was overstaffed as it was.
Also [insert joke here about the cop not like being shown up by the size of the perp's dick].
I'm making $90 an hour working from home. I never imagined that it was honest to goodness yet my closest companion is earning 16,000 US dollars a month by working on the connection, that was truly astounding for me, she prescribed for me to attempt it simply. Everybody must try this job now by just using this website... http://www.Payathome7.com
Damn it First.
Are you suggesting the officer was hung like a two year old?
No, but he definitely dreamt of two year olds.
I am producing 88 US dollars per-day to complete a few l services on the laptop.. I certainly did not believe that it'd be achievable , however one of my best pals collected 25,000 US dollars in five weeks by doing this job & she convinced me to join…

As my grandpa always said; "it's better to be pissed off than pissed on."
Goddamn Blue State Mississippi! This would never have happened in a proper Red Blooded American state like, I dunno, Rhode Island!
The officers gave the boy a citation for "child in need of services" and took him to the police station.
Where they promptly beat the piss out of him.
As usual for these stories from Reason, I feel like crucial details have been left out, maybe even to craft or make room for a specific narrative. I mean the officer was fired so, presumably there's some cause but the abjectly shitty reporting leaves that cause entirely unstated. Are officers not supposed to cite and/or detain people for urinating in public like the libertarian utopia known as San Francisco? Did the officer "bag and tag" a 10-yr.-old while the kid screamed "My mom is right inside that building right there!" or did the officer say, "You shouldn't be pissing in public, where's your mom?" to which the kid replied, "Uh, I don't know."
Again, the termination would seem to indicate that it was more the latter than the former but the reporting as to what actually happened is every bit as shitty as a cop's own "Urine was detected. Suspects were detained. Nothing else happened." "report".
You sound pissy about Reason's reporting, here.
The constipated way in which they handle facts, you’d think they didn’t have a pot to piss in.
Yeah, I can't even really form an opinion here with so little information.
So Mississippi is hiring girl-bulliers AND child bulliers as cops?
Where do you think you are kid? This isn't San Francisco. Or New York. Or Chicago. Or Baltimore. Or Atlanta. Or Los Angeles. Or Minneapolis. Or Seattle. Or Portland. Or Boston. Or San Diego. Or Philadelphia. Or New Orleans. Or Detroit. Or Washington DC.
This is Mississippi son, GO FIND A TOILET.
