Guessing from his past record, doubt he will care much. Seems like this guy is a real piece of work.
Casas had already been reprimanded in the past for making ‘conflicting statements’, missing court appearances, ‘excessive sick time usage’, and ‘gross negligence’
‘Shit! Shit! SHIT! FUUUCK! My goddamn NOSE, man! My fucking NOSE! It’s the size of fucking Texas, dude, and it’s been like this for SIX HOURS NOW!’
‘Whoa, relax buddy! Your nose is the same size it’s always been, and it’s only been fifteen minutes since you hit your first line! Chill out!’
‘What? …Right. Right! You’re right! Oh god, ha! Jesus, man, I was freaking out - I was FREAKING the GODDAMN FUCK out, man. Shit, you’re totally right. My nose is fine, my nose is just… you’re FUCKING right, my nose is GREAT! Ahaha! You want another hit? I want another hit. We should fucking HIT THAT SHIT! NNGGHH! Yeah! …and afterwards, we can rub erection cream on our genitals while drinking coffee!’
I think you misunderstood my reductio ad absurdum. It’s fine to object to the police using cocaine, especially since it implies that they’re corrupt and hypocritical, which is something our society shouldn’t tolerate in those entrusted with law enforcement authority. It’s less reasonable to object to the police using <scarequotes>stimulants</scarequotes> when most adults in the US use legal stimulants on a daily basis with no significant social harm. It’s especially unreasonable in the morning before I’ve had any.
Even giving benefit of the doubt that this is completely true and “credible”, do we really want a homicide detective that would be Darwin award stupid enough to put a completely unknown substance on his genitals?? How did he pass his detective exams??? He shouldn’t have gotten his job back just merely on the basis of demonstrating total lack of sense and competency.
I’d be curious to see some genuine research on the differences between the physiological effects of caffeine and cocaine. Most of the differences I can think of between the two substances stem entirely from the fact that the latter is illegal and the former can be bought legally, usually from three or four different vendors in the same city block. (Sometimes all three are Starbucks.)
