    Blue Point Brewery out of New York. The Wild Dog I haven't tried yet, it's an 8.5% lager so that's a little rich for my candyass.
    Next I want to try that Not Your Dad's Root Beer, I only drink 1 or 2 at a time so the heavy sweetness and rootbeeriness shouldn't bother me. I have a friend who makes root beer floats with it. Alcoholic ice cream? Sign me up lol
    That would go really well with a fat hogleg joint, if I still partook anyways.

    The moral of this story is to never question authority, do as you're told. Comply citizen.....or I can arrest you and make your life a living hell.

    I stopped reading your comment after this. It sets a bad tone.

    Aww you should have.

    It really offered some badly needed perspective.

    Next time I'll save Geezuz for the end.

    Here we go again.Black kid in Texas busting up a car dealership ends up shot.News just says"unarmed black teen killed by police"
    No mention of what led up to it or his refusal to freeze or listen to commands.
    Where is personal responsibilty?

    Personal responsibility doesn't get clicks or followers and in turn, ad money.

    Agree news does inflame but that doesn't change the fact that if this where a white soccer mom driving a new suburban with Dubya sticker she wouldn't have been targeted and pulled over. Also doesn't change the fact that police have been shooting and killing lotsa blacks.

    Pulled over? This kid drove his car into a building. I get your point, but in this situation I think a traffic stop was warranted.

    Officer Encinia has been indicted on perjury charges and to be fired by police dept.
    Sandra Bland is gone from this world because of another hothead, bully with a badge and a gun.All over a minor traffic violation. She made some poor decisions but did not deserve to be incarcerated.If the officer had any intellect, common sense, sense of empathy or basic human kindness in him, this would have never been in the news.Such a waste of a young life.I feel so sad for her family.Rest peaceful Sandra.

    He didn't kill her.She killed herself.He was a douche bag,agreed but his perjury has nothing to do with her taking her own life
  • Blaming the cop for her suicide is near or at the pinnacle of cop bashing.

    Blaming a cop for the death of a guy attempting to flee and killing himself in a high speed car crash would be more appropriate- as moronic as that would be.

    I understand that she killed herself.His lying, being fired and and inability to control a what should have been a minor traffic stop speaks to his character or lack thereof.I am just glad he will not be able to hide behind his badge anymore.We need more good cops who are well trained and who are able to recognize and work with people who may need professional mental help, not incarceration.

    I am not cop bashing.I am just presenting facts and my personal opinion based on factual information.While I can't speak to your hypothetical comparison, I can say that if he acted as a well trained professional civil servant, he may have been able to assist someone who was in need of professional help.He made a series of poor decisions, has been charged with perjury and his career is done.So yeah, those facts are all direct consequences of his actions and his choices.Not someone I want serving in my community.
