Not from The Onion.

A man who sued the city of Orlando after police mistook Krispy Kreme doughnut glaze for crystal methamphetamine and arrested him was paid $37,500 to settle the suit, the Orlando Sentinel reported. Daniel Rushing, 65, was taken to jail in 2015 and spent 10 hours there before posting $2,500 bond.

Orlando police officers spotted four tiny flakes of glaze on the floorboard of his vehicle and thought they were pieces of meth.....

I am thinking that the manufacture of the drug test kit needs to also pony up some funds.

You'd think cops would know their donuts.

Dem. Rep. Val Demings to Facebook critic: ‘My First Amendment right is different from yours’

http://conservativefiringline.com/dem-rep-val-demings-facebook-critic-first-amendment-right-different/

This is the former Orlando police chief.  The article is spectacular.  Her husband was Orlando police chief prior to her.  I think there was nonsense that went on with him while he was in the position, but I'm not recalling off the top of my head.  Anyway, the point is, Orlando PD has a history of umm.... acting stupidly.
