Surprise! It’s a new Fsck as we work on getting back into a production routine. Join us this week as we talk about a weird qualified immunity ruling from the US Virgin Islands, taxpayers shelling out $$$$$ for police f*ckery in California and New York, and two separate Pennsylvania officers from different departments in the same county both charged with sexually assaulting a half dozen women.
