A photo is worth a thousands words, and, this week, a @RiverfrontTimes cover is worth a dozen astoundingly racist cop texts -- which said cop, Dustin Boone, would prefer no one reads. Incredible and enraging reporting from @DoyleMurphy. https://riverfronttimes.com/newsblog/2021/05/10/ex-st-louis-cop-wants-prosecutors-sanctioned-for-revealing-racist-texts

"Dude caught a tampering 1st, resisting stealing of a motor vehicle out of the county and a TASER to the fuckin dome?" he writes, adding, "Caught him in some THICK over grow in a side vacant lot, there was nobody around except me. Shaw, shithead and god... he is at the hospital now... poor guy."
Griggs, who is still a city cop, wrote back: "Thats fuckin hilarious! Strong work!"
That thread continues with more details from Boone:
"Hahaha we made him tell the other officers on scene that he is a pussy! Hahaha he was puking on himself while EMS was looking at him and saying 'I'm a pussy, in a pussy." And crying...... it was the greatest moment of my short career! Lol."
Boone adds in a text message to two other men that the person was "puking and seizing."

In the very top line there. Has experience with multiple formulations (presumably time-release vs instant), talking about tweaking ... even if this is Rx'd to him, pretty disturbing language from an LEO.
You kinda have to be abusing it to get these side effects.
