Flint Police Chief Fired After Lying To People About Bringing Water Filters Then Arresting Them

Police in Flint Michigan have been preying on people’s hopes for clean water, by showing up with filters, then arresting people who have outstanding warrants. Now, the Chief of Police has been fired, without warning, and many believe it is because of the controversy that ensued when the original report went viral.

Local WJRT 12 News confirmed that Flint Police Chief James Tolbert has in fact just had his employment terminated. But police officials would offer us no explanation as to why they fired him. But Chief Tolbert told WJRT that he met with Mayor Karen Weaver and was told “your services will no longer be needed.”

Here’s how it works: the police officer shows up with bottled water or filters. They tell the resident that they are there to give the bottles and/or filter to  them… “but first, we have to cross you off of our list. What’s your full name?”

After the resident has positively identified themselves, the police cuff and arrest them.

They come up with any methods and motives to ruin our lives. They are trying to arrest us for nothing, in the moments of common difficulties, even when we are suffering from a shortage of water! Our grief is a joy for them, I have long understood this simple truth. They get excited when we become weaker.
I don’t want the cops were involved in social life, because I do not feel safe!

Call me the Devil’s Advocate, and I do strongly sympathize with the people of Flint, but… These are people with warrants. Not just regular civilians. These are people wanted for a crime. They are innocent until proven guilty, and it is a cheap tactic, but that doesn’t change the fact that they are wanted people.

I was going through a hypothetical conversation in my head when I ended up pulling something a noodle incident because it was an incident that involves noodles. I’m laughing like an idiot now.

there are asexuals who are entirely disgusted by sex

there are asexuals who are fine talking about sex but aren’t willing to have it themselves

there are asexuals who like sex in theory but not in practice

there are asexuals who dont really care for it but are happy to do it for someone they love

there are asexuals who enjoy or even love the stimulation of sex but have no actual need or craving for it; its just like any other activity to do with someone and can easily be replaced with literally anything else

there are asexuals who do have a sexdrive but its only triggered by a strong emotional attachment rather than physical factors

there are a whole bunch of asexuals and if i hear “lol so ur like a plant” one more time i swear to fucking god
