The mix-up "sounds more like a storyline from one of the 1980’s Police Academy comedies than what should be expected in a high-profile prosecution,” Biden’s attorney wrote.
Federal prosecutors mistakenly claimed in a court filing that a photo of sawdust they found while searching Hunter Biden’s electronics was cocaine, attorneys for the president’s son said Tuesday.
The sawdust picture was used in a court filing detailing incriminating information that prosecutors said they turned up while executing a search warrant of Biden’s laptop and electronics, but his legal team said in court papers that the picture was sent to their client by his then-psychiatrist as inspiration.
The picture shows three lines of yellow dust on a piece of wood near some other dust. The psychiatrist sent the picture to Biden in 2018, saying it was "lines of sawdust sent to me by a master carpenter who was a coke addict.”
Biden’s attorneys said the message and picture were “meant to convey that Mr. Biden, too, could overcome any addiction” and used the apparent mix-up to mock prosecutors.
Hmm…
ACAB but so are rich entitled fucks.
Not sure who to root for here.
Then you root for injuries, like when the Commanders play the Cowboys.
I wouldn’t say ACAB, mostly because I haven’t met every cop. And rookies probably aren’t all bad- they’ll adapt or quit before long, mind.
But, even assholes sometimes do the right thing. Like saving that single mom’s kid. Huge ego boost. Doesn’t meant they’re not still assholes, though,
I would argue that you don’t have to meet every cop because any cop that isn’t a bastard is driven out by all the bastard cops. Especially if they report anything inappropriate their fellow officers do.
And staying silent while other cops break the law also makes you a bastard.
Agreed. The rookies will assimilate or resign quickly, but given the thousands of departments full of cops, I imagine there may be one whose still “first day on the job” clean.
It’s an assumption i won’t argue against, let’s just put it that way.
I can understand that position, but I would also say that’s more of a technicality than something that suggests the phrase shouldn’t be applied.
I don’t really think anyone thinks, “oho! You say all cops are bastards, but my cousin Jerry was a cop for two days and he is a good person!” is what anyone actually is trying to suggest when they say ACAB.
Not the Cops trying to falsify evidence because they can’t be bothered to stand up to an asshole with connections.
It didn’t sound like they were falsifying anything. It sounded like the person in OP’s story just had a bag of coke in their car.
Oh there was clear understanding that they were definitely hostess donuts of the powdered sugar variety.
It was a joke on my part and not a serious report. The cops ran with it, because these cops definitely were bastards, and because the idiot Jag owner went full on Karen over something that was ultimately his own fault. (If he had a legal alarm system, if he paid for parking, or he had a shred of self awareness and just called for a jump…)
Cops pull that kind of shit all the fucking time and get away with it because their victims don’t have the resources or contacts to get away with reporting them.
Got it. My misunderstanding.
