Rand Paul is a massively corrupt twat, but he appears to have actually said something vaguely sensible, for once.

He's come out against no-knock warrants in the US, after a spate of poorly executed raids.
The latest resulted in the police killing an EMT and arresting her boyfriend for shooting at them.
They weren't wearing uniforms and kicked in the door at 1am, despite having already arrested the target of the warrant.
 
Whatcha gonna do? Watcha gonna do when they come for you? ......and sometimes when they don't! But shoot you anyway!!!!!!
 
If he says the sky is purple and you disagree.....your fired. I wonder how many people he has fired,including his wives?
 
Okay.....I know that this administration is scraping the absolute bottom of the barrel but why the **** was Norman Collier giving today's Corona Virus update?

Reactions: Alfie Conn
I'm sure the IOPC are completely independent, after all look what their own website says about their chief executive

Following the tragic events of Grenfell Tower in June 2017, Michael was asked by the Government Task Force to lead on the Recovery and Remediation work as well as acting as the main interface with the bereaved families, survivors and wider community.

Before this, Michael was Chief Executive of Elmbridge Borough Council for eight years. He left Elmbridge as an ‘excellent’ graded council (in the top five in the country), having been voted the best place to live in England.

...oh

And if you're curious, here's the breakdown of the current councillors for Elmbridge
13 Tories
7 Lib Dem
5 Molesey Residents' Association
4 Weston Green Residents' Association
3 independent
2 Weybridge & St. George's Independents
2 Hinchley Wood Residents' Association
2 The Walton Society
1 Hersham Village Society
1 Farage Ltd

And considering "residents association" is usually a euphemism for "Tory", I'm sure there is absolutely no way that his judgment could be called into question...
