  1. The keg video was apparently taken by Michael J. Fox.
  2. Based on the case in the link below, it is certainly possible for an officer's conduct that produces a false identification to be a violation of a clearly established right. Whether the officer's conduct in the case in the OP meets these standards will likely be determined on appeal, unless the parties settle. https://caselaw.findlaw.com/us-5th-circuit/1523028.html In keeping with Geter I and II, we conclude that knowing efforts to secure a false identification by fabricating evidence or otherwise unlawfully influencing witnesses constitutes a violation of the due process rights secured by the Fourteenth Amendment. A plaintiff need not undertake the impossible task of satisfying the Brathwaite test where an officer's intentional conduct was designed to artificially produce precisely the sort of witness certainty that otherwise justifies the admission of suggestive lineups and the criminal defendant has been exonerated in the meantime. Moreover, we find that any reasonable official would know that framing an individual for a crime they did not commit by securing such an identification represents a constitutional violation. Accordingly, the appeal must be dismissed on his Fourteenth Amendment claim. With respect to the Fourth Amendment, Curtis's efforts to secure Good's arrest notwithstanding the fact that Curtis affirmatively knew he manufactured probable cause constituted a clearly established violation of Good's Fourth Amendment rights at the time of the arrest such that the appeal on this claim must also be dismissed.
  3. WTF? Also -- could use Bert. Or Dickbutt.
  4. Apparently the husband called the kid's parents and begged them not to go to the police. And a second student witnessed the teacher and the kid bumping uglies AND received naked pics from the teacher. Fucked up story all the way around. https://www.mirror.co.uk/news/us-news/teachers-husband-begged-boys-parents-12257433

    Gym Pet Peeves

    In fairness to the chick in front of the dumbbell rack, it looks like there's hardly anybody there, so she probably isn't in the way. And she's giving everybody in the rest of the gym a nice look at her ass, which appears to be her best feature (that's a low bar). But on second thought, fuck her -- that's by far my biggest annoyance at the gym.
