  • Personally, I would interpret this differently. This wasn’t a lie, this was gross incompetence. I choose to accept their bullshit at face value and let it play out on its own.

    These cops are so stupid and so incapable of completing their job that they either found a positive fentanyl test and were so incompetent as to not find the drugs, or so incompetent as to apply the drug test incorrectly. You can also assume a third option that these officers were on fentanyl and contaminated the test themselves with their own supply.

    All three of these options all result in better odds of them being removed from their job than them lying, which is legal for them to do for some reason. And just to be clear my comment isn’t about what actually happened, it’s about sharing the “correct” narrative the same way they do.

    I wish more people would talk about cops in terms of incompetence when they lie.









  • For all the left people I know, including myself, The reason we don’t want a line drawn is because sometimes special circumstances arise. There may be medical complications in the third trimester that would result in the mother’s death and it’s not feasible to exhaustively list every scenario that could land her in this situation so it’s better to just not a put a limit on it so she doesn’t have some bullshit hoop to jump through later while she’s dying.

    That said, I don’t think there’s anyone genuinely arguing that people should be allowed to get abortions super late into the pregnancy just for funsies. Third trimester is the logical cut off to me, and most of the people I know agree or want it slightly shorter. We just don’t want the law to specify that since it can cause legal complications. It’s better that it be considered a medical standard.
