Thuggery Thread - I love It !!

I agree with you. I respect the Police and I know what a hard job they have, my only wish it to not get in the way when they seemingly are strung-out on adrenaline.

All I ever ask of the Police is to not treat me like a criminal, when it's painfully obvious that I'm not. Often in this day and age, the police beat somebody senseless first, then ask questions.

Agreed on all counts.

So the OP posted two stories about the police arresting criminals. I'm not getting what the big deal is. Isn't that what the police are sworn and paid to do?

This one is sick

LANCASTER, Pa. A judge has granted the release of a teenager jailed for two weeks after authorities say she discarded her newborn in a bathroom trash can at her central Pennsylvania high school.

Nineteen-year-old Cherlie LaFleur had been held at Lancaster County Prison on $1 million bail. She's charged with concealing the death of a child, a misdemeanor.

Lancaster police say she gave birth in a McCaskey East High School bathroom last month and discarded the fetus in a trash can after trying to flush it down the toilet.
Attorney James Gratton says LaFleur moved to the area from her native Haiti with her father and stepmother after the earthquake there in 2010. He says she believed the baby was stillborn.
