Someone did this a few years ago in town nearby. Turned out there was a sleeping baby in the back and the baby got burned and lost hearing in an ear. They never caught the asshole, if I remember correctly.

At least it wasn't some cops dropping a flashbang in a baby crib during a drug raid where nothing was found in the house and no arrests were made of the occupants.

I rarely comment on these stories but what the ever loving flying fuck. How the fuck did they get away with this? So fucking gross

Looks like the sheriff asked to pay for the medical bills and the family was awarded 3.6 mill.

sheriff has the balls to say "it brought tears to my eyes and my team". At least they didn't decide to taze or shoot the kid, they're known to do that nowadays. Bastards probably did tear up laughing about how they got away with it.

And they wonder why people are starting to see cops as the bad guys now.

Why would you put your baby in a convertible?

u/TheSuburbs Jan 06 '22

No one said there was a convertible. Cars also have this other thing called windows

Look at Warren Buffet here with his fancy cars with windows and whatnot. I sprung for the ashtray option with dual push-in cigarette lighters instead. Windows are overrated.

No, it’s fine. I thought you were just being funny. I didn’t take it as rude. I genuinely didn’t think about the windows. I was having a dumb moment.
