Disgraced Massachusetts cop Matthew Farwell, 38, strangled Sandra Birchmore, 23, in 2021 after she revealed she was pregnant with his child, prosecutors alleged Wednesday.

Farwell is accused of having a years-long sexual relationship with Birchmore, beginning when she was 15 and he was 27, the US Attorney’s Office said.

    The moral of the story is, don’t let your children anywhere near cops. Holy fuck.

      Where I live everybody knows this. Admittedly it’s Russia, but from your news I’m starting to think that maybe ours are not that much worse than yours.

        One of our two parties pretty much openly idolizes Putin, so dont worry We’re catching up.

          Before 2016 I frankly suspected the other one of that, but yes.

          Funny, I remember in year 2012 as a teenager thinking that the West is so fscking impenetrable to directed political corruption from ex-USSR with the accompanying views on morality, then started realizing it just took ~20 years to take visible effect.

      I’m finding this to be very tricky in practice. Cops are everywhere, copaganda is everywhere, and kids have trouble understanding situations in which everyone else is crazy and stupid.

      I’ve been telling them to avoid the police, that police are liars and not their friends. But also, don’t get into fights with your friends at school whose dads might be bastards. And if it ever gets to school administration, the school admins will look for every excuse to take my kids away, because I must be a criminal.

      They’re already exposed by not pledging allegiance to the flag, too.

      And this is in a very liberal part of the country. If you guys know somewhere - anywhere - where people are sane, please let me know.
