Brickbat: Hide and Seek

Liam West-Campau has filed a lawsuit against Wayne County, Michigan; Sheriff Raphael Washington; Chief of Jails Robert Dunlap; and several unnamed jail staffers. West-Campau claims he was held in jail for six days after his court-ordered release because jail staff did not know where he had been placed. Spokespeople for the sheriff's department and the county said they had not yet been served. But the Detroit Free Press reports that problems at the jail are common, including inmates being held after they are supposed to be released.

Hahahaha, make sure you go and read the source article.
Government bureaucracy is hilarious. I mean, I know we’re not supposed to laugh at this stuff, but… I mean, lol.
Charlie wants you to be angry at the cops for this, but a casual read of the article will show you yet another reason how Democratic leadership has completely and utterly ruined Detroit.
Is this a good time to remind everyone what Lizzo said? Lizzo says “If Kamala wins then the whole country will be like Detroit!”
Ya....yaaaaaay?
What an intriguing method of endorsing Trump.
Perhaps West-Campau was not on the west campus but instead the east campus.
He had been hauled in for a parole violation. I imagine he’ll be back for similar or some other not so good Samaritan activity. Assigning him credit for that would be appropriate.
Well, at least they didn't make him fight forest fires for $2 a day.
