Texas just made weed a felony after over 70% of voters voted to legalize it. Is this what we call a democracy when the representatives of a state will openly defy the will of voters because incarceration rates went down so much and prisons lost money? Texas is a fucking republican-ran hellhole.
Warning: This Video Will Make You Angry
On October 31, 2022, in Lake City, Florida, legally blind Navy veteran James Hodges, then 61, was walking home after jury duty was canceled.
He was stopped by a female deputy (Jayme Gohde) who mistook his folded mobility cane for a handgun in his back pocket.
After Hodges requested the bodycam footage and filed a complaint, the Columbia County Sheriff’s Office investigated. Sheriff Mark Hunter publicly apologized, calling the deputies’ conduct “unacceptable”.
Deputy Gohde received a two-day suspension without pay;
Her supervisor Sgt. Harrison (seen in video) was demoted, received a seven-day suspension without pay, and was barred from favorable actions (raises/promotions) for two years.
Both underwent remedial civil-rights training.
A later lawsuit by Hodges was settled out of court.
FINALLY! Someone who was with Kaepernick from day 1 speaks on the narrative that JAY-Z did him wrong. He literally left them high & dry, then SETTLED with the NFL. MONTHS BEFORE Jay did the partnership.
