    If the founding fathers were here today I think they would be far more effected by the fact that they could time travel rather than care about what the hell was going on in Washington.

    wait, they want to put up a million signs that all say "I am the Tea Party Leader"?

    a million people being the leader of one organization? sounds like socialism to me
    man it is sure good to be a lower-class worker, rebelling against the lazy middle class and arrogant upper classes because they love socialism so much

    Actually, Phil Plait of Bad Astronomy explains why that isn't actually the case. Basically in an interview she did, people misinterpreted the interview as Jenny recanting her opinion on vaccines. But she didn't.

    if you skip bail, a bench warrant is issued

    also, bounty hunters are pretty much vigilantes who do not legally give a shit about constitutional rights

    that video does really illustrate why police should be clear about their intentions and the legality of their actions

    bitch is crazy but they changed their story several times and were generally being dicks to her

    what they did was likely legal but damn that's some bad public relations

    Police don't always need a warrant to arrest you

    If you run from the police you will get tackled and will be charged with additional crimes

    Police officers identify themselves before they arrest you

    They have badges and uniforms

    If someone is impersonation a cop to kidnap you, you're gonna get kidnapped anyway

    etc. etc.

    Context is great.

    And "some guy" is not the same as "a police officer."
