2/ ...and if some cops put out a press released saying that "39 trafficked children were recovered", dig into that claim, and ask yourself what the definition of "trafficked" is, who defines it, why the police frame it that way, and who benefits from your outrage and enthusiasm.

13/ The story so far is ENTIRELY compatible with "26 children were either with parent X, who didn't have custody, or with their aunt, who took them from mom so that mom could tell dad in the middle of the divorce 'go and try to find them'" Plus 1 19 year old dating a 17yo girl.

14/ Red tribe gets very upset at all of the silly gun laws. Did you know, BTW, that MA still has a "gun lock" law on the books, even tho Heller and McDonald made those unconstitutional? True story. I know someone who was charged with violating it.

15/ so in the press release we ALSO see "charges related to ... weapons possession" You're supposed to picture this guy. ...but those words also describe an expired license to carry, or storing ammo near a pistol, in certain states.pic.twitter.com/Y9XfIpMLGf

16/ Remember: the cops have full time media liasons / press officers. Their goals are: - paint themselves as heroes, to increase their reputation capital - get budget increases

17/ You red tribe folks all know that Waco was burned as part of "Operation Showtime", when BATF budget was up for review, right? They had dozens of video cameras and blank VCR tapes, so that they could document their heroic raid, and show it to politicians just before a vote.

18/ You don't trust the BATF or the EPA or the Department of Education. Why the hell are you trusting a press release from the US Marshalls? Don't be G_d damned useful idiots.

24/ > Of the 65 they located, 39 were “recovered,” meaning they were removed from whatever situation they were in — which could be anything from living on the streets to crashing on a friend’s couch to staying with a parent who didn’t have custody rights.

25/ > The other 26 cases were closed without the child being “recovered.” Albright said this could mean that another agency, such as Child Protective Services, found them — or that they had been home all along.

26/ > It’s also worth noting that the operation was also set up to arrest children, not just rescue them. Katie Byrd...noted that two of the missing kids were suspects in homicide cases, and one was a person of interest in another.

27/ > Plus, 11 of the kids had, in Byrd’s words, “some kind of gang affiliation.”
