Sharia Law in Dallas: Police Investigating After Copies of Quran Found in a University Toilet.
This just happened to children at school by police in Dallas. Can we leave god for home and train officers not to assault children ?

Personally, I have no use for law enforcement. I avoid them like the proverbial plague. If there is one profession that seems incapable of learning from their mistakes (and continues to get away with murder) - it is law enforcement.

That cop block website is really good. Many of those cases I have never seen on the news. Officer Shelby's murder of Terrance Crutcher is one that is horrendous! I heard a story on NPR after he was killed talking to the teachers at the school where his daughter went. They have to converse with the kids about it because they were all so sad and confused why her dad was killed. They asked what a big bad dude was. It was so racist.
Jamie,
In my little southern Virginia county, about 11 years ago, a federal Grand Jury charged 20 current and former employees of our Sheriff's Dept. with racketeering and conspiracy, included the distribution of illegal drugs, theft of drugs and firearms, money laundering, and obstruction of justice. Eighteen of the defendants, including the sheriff, were convicted of felony offenses. The Sheriff only got 8 months.
Horrible. Unjust. Not the America I want to support.
I don't understand why an investigation is required for a quran in the toilet. Is the allegation that someone was littering... because after all, it's just a book; Nothing special and nothing magical and nothing requiring reverence or special rules. Thought experiment: Would the police be investigating if a newspaper or if Alice In Wonderland were found in the toilet? The answer of course is Hell No

Exactly what the article I read about it said. It shouldn't be an issue. They have film of officers going in and out of the area where these things are kept and no one is seen leaving with it or coming in with it. It only matters that it was the Quran. Not a crime but investigating reguardless.
It's nice to hear that all the crimes in Dallas have been solved, so the police can afford to spend time hunting for a holy book flusher.
It's been a police state for a very long time. Good or bad, there isn't any accountability but that's endemic of all public institutions and their employees regardless of their occupations. The cops are only the visible, or higher profiled, evidence of that. The public sector is a huge cauldron of sickness no one of any level of ethical measure can come close to taking the lid off of.
I trust public employees, especially cops, as far as I can throw a bull by the tail.
