A man filed a federal lawsuit Monday alleging he was paralyzed and needed his legs amputated after police officers in St. Petersburg, Florida, put him in restraints, placed him in the back of a police van without a seatbelt and then drove in a reckless manner.
Cuffed in the back of a van with no seatbelts. You can get a ticket for not wearing a seatbelt in your car.
A homeless guy slept in public too many times, and the police decided to arrest him.
They handcuffed and chained him then drove fast and slammed the brakes on purpose with him in the back of the van. That broke his neck - paralyzing him from the neck down. Both legs needed to be amputated as well.
Call me crazy, but I would be happy to pay extra in taxes to make sure everyone had a roof over their head, healthcare (including dental, vision, mental health care), and their basic needs of life met (including hygiene products). If that comes out of police budgets, so be it.

For falling asleep in a grass lot…

What’s crazy is it would likely cost less in taxes to do!
it 100% costs less to house the homeless instead of leaving them on the street. the cruelty is the point
whats more it costs less to also give them money for basic needs as well.
Yeah but then you’d get people trying to be homeless on purpose

This is a joke, please don’t hurt me
Edit: how the fuck does spoiler text work
The sad thing is some people don’t think that’s a joke.
that’s called socialism.
I know this is a joke but we should stop making it. It confuses the dumbasses.
Maybe that’s what I want
