Didn't the pigs who shot a bunch of unarmed black people dead on Danziger Bridge during Katrina also use a rental truck, and wasn't it also a Penske?
No real relevant point to bringing that up, just feel more people aught to know about that incident.
I had never heard of this incident before. Horrifying.
For anyone else interested: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Danziger_Bridge_shootings
This is crazy. I read the article up and down and still haven't found a motive. They "allegedly" got a shots fired call on a bridge and, what, just rolled up and opened fire on whoever was in view?
And then started threatening/manipulating witnesses and stuff?
I can't tell if it was some sort of deeper conspiracy or what, because it sounds like group of unmarked officers just rolled up in a truck and decided to start killing at random.
Horrifying and confusing. Especially how short their sentences ended up being...
It was a Budget truck
Some people are saying carrying a spare padlock can be handy
Let the air out of the tires. Isn't a felony, is a MAJOR inconvenience and they look like idiots.
Valve stem tool. Any bike shop worth going to will have one, and almaot any auto shop should have some.
Loosen the stem, and you don't even have to sit there letting the air out. Just walk away and let it deflate.
Take a tiny pebble and put it inside the valve cap. Screw it back on halfway. It will depress the valve and let the air out.
Ooh nice, cheaper eco-friendly alternative!
You can also glue a BB in the cap so when they air it back up it'll deflate again.
It's also not vandalism.
Afraid I only carry a knife. Oh well.
Tires are expensive, you don’t need a misdemeanor. Loosening or removing valve cores is criminal mischief, fine, or community service at most, but good luck with feds making up their own rules lately.
Shame, I guess you'll have to stab some tires. No choice, really.
Make sure you don't poke any high pressure tires, your hands and arm bones will thank you!
I suppose taking valve stems might be have down sides.
I was thinking caltrops
lol that would be so funny. especially on a hot day + lighting a fire under it.
Aren't they under court order to not perform sweeps based on race or location? This doesn't look targeted at all.
She wrote the government cannot use factors such as apparent race or ethnicity, speaking Spanish or English with an accent, presence at a location such as a tow yard or car wash, or someone's occupation as the only basis for reasonable suspicion to detain someone.

ICE doesn't give a shit about court orders
I'm pretty sure it was already illegal before the court order.
Wonder where these boys got that idea?
Dunno but I'm sure those Boys are Proud of themselves
From NOPD. They shot a bunch of unarmed black people during Katrina with the same tactic.
That's a good way to violate the terms of your contract and lose your deposit.
How very Patriot Front khaki cosplayers of them.
