"Both lawyers referenced Barbosa’s “scant” record, which has included charges of witness intimidation, assault and battery with a dangerous weapon, disorderly conduct and disturbing the peace dating back to 1995. All of the charges were later dismissed."

Ethics and common decency. More like guidelines, really.

My worst nightmare. An "Only One" with a gun and a badge. And, apparently, a penchant for consumming large quantities of alcohol, beating the crap out of people and waving a gun around while he does.

I told y'all about the volunteer rescue squad paramedic who, when asked about the 10 firetrucks in my neighborhood, said simply "The firemen have a handle on it."
Gas pipeline rupture? Serial arson? What?
The firemen have a handle on it.
Yes, they did. It was a single fire in a detached house, contained to the property. Would have been nice to know as they sat there looking all macho until 5 a.m., watched over by two cooping cops blocking the dead-end street.
Please, please, please come by and ask me for a donation.
