Soph0571's JournalPolice Framed 16-Year-Old for Burglaries to Boost Crime Stats: Prosecutors
-----------------
In July 2013, Atesiano was scheduled to go in front of the village council at the end of the fiscal year to give a report on the police department’s crime-fighting efforts the Miami Herald reports. So, in order to solve his clearance-rate problem, the diligent police chief assembled a task force to work day and night to figure out this unsolved mystery and ...
I’m just kidding. They just picked a kid and framed him for the felonies.
---------------
If convicted, the three officers face up to 11 years in prison.
The 16-year-old T.D. was arrested and would have been charged as an adult for second-degree burglary, a charge that carries a penalty of 15 years in prison.
On July 9, 2013, Chief Raimundo Atesiano told the village council of Biscayne Park that the town had a perfect clearance rate for the year.
Blue lies matter.

I wonder what happened to the kid?

And sadly this is not hyperbole...
Teleportation: will it ever be a possibility?
Theoretically, there are really only two ways this can(’t) be done – physical deconstruction at x and reconstitution at y, or the translation of one’s person into data to be transmitted, then reconverted into matter, like some organic fax machine.
Impossible? In 1993 an international group of six scientists, showed that perfect teleportation is possible in principle, or at least not against the laws of physics. More recently scientists both in the US and China have been trying. Just last year, Chinese scientists were able to “teleport” photons to a satellite 300 miles away, using a phenomenon called “quantum entanglement”. Simply put this “spooky action at a distance” (as Einstein dubbed it) is where a pair of photons are able to simultaneously share the same state, even when separated by vast distances. Change the state of one particle, and weirdly, the other changes too, with no detectable connection.

Uber driver 'kicks lesbian couple out of his car for kissing'
In a shocking video posted on Facebook, the two women – Emma Pichl, 24, and her girlfriend Alex Iovine, 26 – can be seen being told by driver Ahmad El Boutari that their kiss was “illegal.”
--------------------
Speaking to the New York Post, Pichl recounted what happened, saying: “We got over the Manhattan Bridge into the city.
“We were sitting on opposite sides of the backseat. At one point we leaned over and pecked [a] kiss, very fast,” she said.
Just five minutes after that, Pichl said the driver “pulled the cab over and said: ‘You should not do that… do not do that.'”
When he forced them to step out of the vehicle, the couple started recording.
In the video, El Boutari tells the pair: “It is illegal. You don’t do this.”

Trumps America
What if George had accommodated American colonists' demands & allowed them a handful of MP's at....
Parliament?
A rather spiffing line from a book I am currently reading. The character goes on to say:
‘Well, there’d have been no bloody War of Independence for a start, and the US would have developed along Canadian and Australian lines. The hamburger would never have been invented, there’d be no chewing gum dotting the pavements, and the world would never have heard of high school massacres. Can you credit it? America, lost for the sake of an extra dozen members in the House of Commons. AMERICA! The richest prize on the bloody planet. Gone, for want of a few paltry seats on the cross benches. George the bloody Third wasn’t just mad, he was completely tonto! Bugger him, say I! Who cares if he did a bit of farming and was nice to children? He lost us America and he was an arse!’ Ben Elton: Time and Time Again
Heh, marvelous stuff
Just think about it for a second.
Slavery would have been abolished much earlier than it was, and there would never have been the need for the American revolution.
You would not have taken so bloody long to join world war one, potentially saving hundreds of thousands of lives.
It is highly unlikely that there would ever have been the rise of Prosperity Gospel - religion all in all would be a much calmer affair, not the hell, fire and brimstone model a fair percentage of your chaps like to go for. No snakes in any church. Ever. The Southern Baptists would not exist.
Although, you would now be a sovereign state you would be members of the commonwealth. You could have the Queen on your money, much better than some crusty old blokes.
You would almost certainly have some type of universal health care free at the point of use. I know, I know, you would be much more socialist than you are now..... Damn pesky European influence hehehe
Frankly you would be much more likely to demonstrate a stiff upper lip, one would have thought, none of the over sharing Americans are famous for
I know what you are all thinking. Damn, we could have had it all. Bugger that George III - if he had only had more sense we could have been drinking proper tea, playing rugger and saluting the Queen.
And just think – NO TRUMP!!!
Trump Says 'Otto Warmbier Did Not Die in Vain' When Asked About Kim's Brutal Regime in Presser
NBC News’ Hallie Jackson began the press conference confronting the president on his complimentary remarks of the dictator.
“The man you met today Kim Jong Un, as you know, has killed family members, has starved his own people, is responsible for the death of Otto Warmbier— why are you so comfortable calling him very talented?” Jackson asked.
---------------------------
“Otto Warmbier is very special person and he will be for a long time in my life,” Trump continued. “His parents are good friends of mine. I think without Otto, this would not have happened. Something happened from that day. It was a terrible thing. It was brutal. But a lot of people started to focus in what was going on, including North Korea. I really think Otto is someone who did not die in vain. I told that to his parents. A special young man and I have to say special parents, special people. Otto did not die in vain. He had a lot to do with us being here today.”

Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free,
