Culture Buzz Eww. Breastfeeding is natural, but squirting it at cops isn't. An Ohio woman has been sentenced to two years' probation for spraying sheriff's deputies with breast milk.
The 'Dice' Man approves. TN officials have created a task force called “D.I.C.E” to stop drugs and drug money-flow. The only problem? They get to keep some of it. So it seems like the police are focusing on getting the money and not the drugs.
