A culture of meaningful accountability would have gone a long way to prevent this. But LEOs have been included in the elite impunity club, so a guy like this gets to break the law and still be allowed to enforce it at his discretion.

Paragraph four of the civil rights complaint in the quoted post, which reads, "O'Connell is an officer with a documented history of volatility and poor judgment, having previously been terminated from the St. John's County Sheriff's Office for threatening to "blow up" the agency, later reinstated, then arrested for domestic battery before resigning under the weight of those charges. Jacksonville Beach PD hired him anyway, assigned him as lead investigator on a sensitive child-luring case, and later promoted him to corporal after his investigation resulted in the wrongful arrest and prosecution of an innocent man."

The image shows a woman sitting on a wooden step outside, facing away from the camera, with her back visible through a glass door. She is wearing a white tank top and gray sweatpants, with her hair tied up in a bun. In front of her, a small Yorkshire terrier with long, shaggy fur stands on a concrete path, also facing away. Inside the glass door, a black cat looks out towards the woman and dog. The background is a green lawn bathed in sunlight.

The image shows a small, scruffy Yorkshire terrier with long, brown fur standing on a textured concrete path. Next to the dog is a black cat with its back turned, standing on grass, partially reflected in a glass surface. The background consists of a patch of green grass. The dog looks directly at the camera, while the cat seems to be looking away. The scene is peaceful, with the animals outdoors on a sunny day.

Ridiculously unethical.

A screenshot from the reskeeted article which reads: "After the results from the South Carolina state drug lab finally came back, Getchius' suit says Greenwood County prosecutors sat on them for two weeks before disclosing them. Even then, prosecutors allegedly offered a plea deal to Getchius to plead guilty to a lesser charge in exchage for his trafficking charges being dropped. Getchius declined, and prosecutors dismiss the case against him."

A well-known tweet from “@Horse_ebooks,” which reads, “Everything happens so much.” The intention in posting the tweet is to express how overwhelmed I am by everything Donald Trump’s federal government is doing.

A tweet from @dril that reads, “issuing a correction on a previous post of mine, regarding the terror group ISIL, you do not, under any circumstances, ‘gotta hand it to them.’”

A poster from pre-civil war Boston, dated April 24, 1851, which reads, “CAUTION!! COLORED PEOPLE OF BOATON, ONE AND ALL, You are hereby respectfully CAUTIONED and advised, to avoid conversing with the watchmen and police officers of Boston, for since the recent ORDER OF THE MAYOR & ALDERMEN, they are empowered to act as KIDNAPPERS AND SLAVE CATCHERS, and they have already been actually employed in KIDNAPPING, CATCHING, AND KEEPING SLAVES, therefore, if you value your LIBERTY, and the welfare of fugitives among you, shun them in every possible manner, as so many HOUNDS on the track of the most unfortunate of your race. KEEP A SHARP LOOK OUT FOR KIDNAPPERS AND HAVE TOP EYE OPEN. April 24, 1851.”

The poster would be applicable today regarding agents with Immigration and Customs Enforcement kidnapping and disappearing people from U.S. streets.

A small Yorkshire terrier in a grey sweater eats food next to a small black cat. They are clearly enjoying the meal together, as friends.

Great redaction. No notes.

A photo of a corner of law firm letterhead from Allen Guthrie McHugh & Thomas PLLC. The attorneys names are listed in the photo. The first name of the first attorney listed is redacted, but his middle initial and last name are still visible. He is easily identifiable based on the context.

Really, Sam? Really? Very rich coming from the guy who loves upending the law via the “emergency docket.”

An excerpt from a Balls and Strikes article which reads, “The justices’ reasons varied greatly. Justice Samuel Alito, for example criticized the ‘hurried manner’ of the case, suggesting it should work through the courts the normal way.”

@shutdownfullcast.bsky.social I feel like you folks should be aware of this:

Post-conviction work is grueling and wins are few and far between, but every now and again we are reminded why we do the work.

A hand drawn “thank you” card featuring a humming bird and pink flowers.

Another thank you card with hand drawn barbed wire and prison bars and text that reads, “I want to thank all of the teachers and students at the [West Virginia] Innocence Project for taking my case, for without you all I would have any hope in going home. Thank you.” The name of the sender is redacted.

Behold, my office tomatoes. I put a piece of a cherry tomato from a sandwich in my office plant a couple of years ago. It sprouted earlier this summer and is doing its thing.

@edsbs.bsky.social @hollyanderson.bsky.social @newap-georgia.bsky.social I donated $60.26 (plus processing fee) for Rich Rod's record during his first stint at WVU. Spot the damn ball!
