Brickbat: Urine Trouble

A juvenile court judge in Mississippi has sentenced 10-year-old Quantavious Eason to three months probation for urinating in public. Eason must also write an essay on Kobe Bryant. Sentobia police officers saw Eason urinating next to his mother's car while she was inside a lawyer's office with a "no public restroom" sign. The officers then arrested him and took him to jail. Shortly after the arrest, Sentobia Police Chief Richard Chandler said the arrest "violated our written policy and went against our prior training on how to deal with these situations." Chandler added that one of the officers was no longer employed at the department, though he did not say whether that officer had been fired or quit. He said the other officer would be disciplined, though he didn't specify what that would involve.

He was eason his bladder the quickest way he knew how.

Shouldn't have been arrested but yet still convicted. Looks like the court didn't get the memo. Also, Kobe? Ouch. I guess #metoo is all the way over.

I just saw the PRes of Amercan Federation of Teachers talking about how freedom in choosing schools undermines teaching and lawmaking.
Then what of this????
TEACHERS
Across the country, roughly 10% of students attend a private school while American public school teachers enroll their children at nearly twice that rate, 21.5%. In some cities, it is nearly four times the average rate

LAWMAKERS
40 percent of members of the House and 49 percent of members of the Senate send or have sent at least one of their children to a private school

[Jerry B.]

It's only the proles who have to send their kids to public school. How else do our betters maintain control?

[R Mac]

More yellow journalism from Reason.

Kobe Bryant? He must be a Celtics fan.

A report on the world's worst helicopter parent seems appropriate to men.

Cops rarely if ever get fired. Instead they resign and before the ink is try they're already employed in the next town's police department. Got to let them keep their pension.

He said the other officer would be disciplined, though he didn't specify what that would involve.

I'm sure he got a stern lecture.

I think a fitting punishment to let the 10 year old give the officer a golden shower.

He said the other officer would be disciplined, though he didn't specify what that would involve.

Why the commodetion?

[Darth Buckeye]

He needs to move to the US Virgin Islands. Urinating in public is common. I worked in the prosecutor's office; I don't know if there were statutes prohibiting the practice, but I know that West Indian men frequently did it.

[Chumby]

It is a natural act. Like say breastfeeding a baby in public. Or as has been video documented in blue city forms of public transportation, masturbating in public.

[Darth Buckeye]

Could be worse. The defendant could be in a jurisdiction is a sex offense that gets you on the sex offender list.

As they say in Boston, wicked pissah.
