Black students complain about the number of admitted foreign blacks.

They need to check their American privilege and stop being xenophobic bigots.

These countries were exploited by kkkolonialism and because of that they have just as many oppression points as black Americans.

Agreed - the police in the Utah case were ultimately in the wrong. The law, especially in Utah, only says that the implied consent is valid if the person who's blood is being sought is reasonably assumed by the police to have been operating the vehicle illegally. The officer in the video specifically says time and time again that they do not suspect the driver of any wrongdoing, he even says they're getting the blood as a way to clear the driver. So in that case, implied consent does not apply. Want the blood? Get his permission or get a search warrant. Cop was in the wrong.

I think the Lt. got off easy, he is the nitwit who gave order to arrest. He should have gotten the boot also

I hate to disagree with you GF, but with regards to commercial license holders in Utah, that is not what the law states. Anyone who holds a CDL is held to a higher standard than your normal every day licensed individual. For instance, if you or I have a BAC of .08% or more, we are charged with DUI. If you have a CDL, are operating a commercial vehicle, and your BAC is .04%, you will be charged with a DUI.

Utah law explicitly states that, "If you operate a CMV (commercial motor vehicle), you shall be deemed to have given your consent to alcohol testing.". Add to that, the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration regulations requiring any commercially licensed driver (at fault or not) to submit to mandated drug testing after an accident involving a fatality. Not to pile on, but you also have exigent circumstances at play in this situation as well. Court after court have held that alcohol metabolizing in the bloodstream qualifies as exigent circumstance for law enforcement to seize evidence (blood) without a warrant.

This situation is much more muddled than most people are wiling to admit. The only way this can truly be settled is in a court of law.

Does it?

There are a lot of issues being confused and conflated here.

Possession of a CDL, in most states, does carry "implied consent" in the acceptance of that license. In fact, most states have implied consent in the acceptance of regular driver's licenses. This is how state governments suspend your driver's license when you refuse a breath test.

However, this incident doesn't involve implied consent to my knowledge - the driver in question was not being investigated as possibly being at fault in an accident, and he was not suspected of having caused or contributed to the accident.

Secondly, even assuming that the officers could demand blood be drawn from the driver, they were way out of line in making an arrest over it. They could have called the city attorney for a consult, they could have called another command staff officer, they could have come back with a warrant. The right thing happened here- the arresting officer was fired (and he's going to be even money on losing some cash in a civil suit), and the LT was rightfully busted down to patrolman. He may have some vicarious liability in this, too.

Finally, you DON'T arrest ER personnel. Period. ER nurses are your best friends, and ERs are also a cop spouse shopping mall.

Oh cool it, Z.

You ever take a shot at Pam Ward when she used to do FCS games on TV? AGS used to make a sport out of mocking her back then. I think she's a pretty decent announcer for games, not a great one.

This beat writer, on the other hand, just sounds like she's using buzz words to sound smart. What the heck is "physicality" in receiver routes? That doesn't even make sense.

Receivers are generally covered by a defensive back on a route.

Unless your favorite team is Montana.......

Yep, notice how their usually happens to be one female sideline reporter, and she usually happens to be hot? That's not by random chance. When you start seeing some fat and/or ugly female sports reporters then I'll start believing they got their jobs based on talent instead of looks.

You can say the same about the men to a lesser extent.

And its not just sports reporters, but for any reporters who appear on TV, where looks is a large part of the equation. As a whole, they are way better looking than the general population.

Some of the DC reporters...

Proof one of them is qualified

Yeah, that's "her".

I wonder if any fertility clinics will purchase that issue?

Russia is demanding that Bulgaria try harder to prevent vandalism of Soviet monuments, after yet another monument to Soviet troops in Sofia was spray-painted, ITAR-Tass reported.

The Russian Embassy in Bulgaria has issued a note demanding that its former Soviet-era ally clean up the monument in Sofia’s Lozenets district, identify and punish those responsible, and take “exhaustive measures” to prevent similar attacks in the future, the news agency reported Monday.

I have a friend in Bulgaria who put some pics of these up on Facebook.

We were wondering what the Russians dislike more... the defacement itself, or that they are all American icons

Rapists and pedophiles come in all persuasions. Ask the Catholic Church.

Hopefully this one goes to the general population at the penitentiary and the proper "rehabilitation" is given.
