They got tired of waiting for the worst of us to kill the best of us a la the “drug wars" of the '70s, ''80s, & '90s). The timetable has been expedited; if our expectant mothers don’t die thanks to the negligence of US health care & the children don’t die from the [intended] benign neglect of the system (polluted…

The “if they’re Black” is silent. You know like the “b” in dumb.

It is like Tamir Rice all over again. I naively thought that when police realized they couldn't stop people from filming them that they would moderate their actions to reduce the risk of killing an unarmed person or make sure they got the arrest right. I was wrong. To this dumb white boy, it is honestly like they are…

If a suspect is running away, and not towards someone that he could harm right away, then you shouldn’t be able to get away with shooting him. It’s such a low bar...

This was essentially a hit. That dude was literally standing there, an unmarked vehicle pulls up with black tinted windows, homey walks up to it, then guys jump out with guns and he turns and runs and they shoot him in the back.

To “Sir Sloppy Seconds”, the Knight of Trolls, Lord of Incelic Edgelords or whatever.

Yep and you know they are chomping at the bit to do it. Ish is like crack to them and that says soooo much.

I suppose we’re about to hear from the assholes who will say that he brought it on himself by not knowing he was supposed to submit to some random asshole who rolled up on him?

I remember that the details of this one were particularly heartbreaking — how he tried to apologize to the officers as they were killing him, how he would play violin to shelter cats to try to comfort them, how gentle and kind he was said to be. A brutal crime by the police, and a horrifying, tragic loss to his family…

He’s educated in copy/paste, I suppose?  But anyway, what you did in not replying directly to him was the best way to address, yet not ungrey, the strangeness.

I was being sincere, glad to see you. Hope all is well. 

Black folks are pretty much the first rung on the ladder of America, so you can see a lot of different minority demographics figure out that stepping on Black people is their first step up. 

even white supremacists outsource...who knew?

Seriously...

The irony is that most of MAGA nation would take one look at her and tell her to go back to her own country. I just can’t imagine the psychological blinders that some people of color wear and the pretzel-like contortions they go through to associate with a group of people who, if they could, would ship their ass out…

The relationship between Black Alaskans (yes, we are here) and Asian-American Alaskans has been okay-ish so this is even more bizarre. Unfortunately there are those AsAms who are convinced their way to whiteness is through anti-Black racism.
