As the guy said, their “fucking jobs” are literally to deal with “shitty” people. I’m not sure why we all find it so difficult to say “hey, if a woman is sloppily flopping around and happens to smack you lightly on the face, you don’t get to knock the shit out of her while three of you have her restrained.”
Yeah, I’m kinda wondering why they didn’t have her cuffed rather than carrying her out like she’d just won a little league game. Not that that justifies her striking a cop, or the cop giving her a devastating right cross, but it seems all that would have been avoided if they’d just... cuffed her.
Of course, if those officers had done their fucking jobs correctly and properly restrained that woman, none of this would be news.

the point is to send a clear and direct message that calling someone a rapist based on hearsay is grounds for a defamation (or libel, if printed) lawsuit. it is designed to get the attention of the public, via the press, by including such a massive number (jezebel is playing right into their hands), and although I…
It’s the slow pace that really makes the movie. You people can’t just enjoy the slow passage of time anymore. I bet you are the kind of person who checks his phone ever minute or so. Pah. Boredom is only for those who lack creativity or a sense of wonder.
Nice review, and I’m glad you led with Iphigenia. I can’t overemphasize enough how much understanding both Greek drama and Greek mythology (and two overlap quite a bit, obviously), is important here. When you read enough of both (and as a Greek I was forced to in my youth, but chose to in my adulthood), you come away…
Useful reminder that when LBJ came into the league his passing was as much of a selling point as the rest of his game combined. Remember that Nike “Court Vision” ad with him dishing a no-look pass to George Gervin(!)? His ability to not only take in everything on the court simultaneously but anticipate where the other…
The ironic thing is that Marshawn Lynch represents everything that chuds used to complain was missing from pro sports. He loves playing football, shows that love with how he plays, is a genuinely interesting and thoughtful person, dislikes and distrusts the media and the more commercial aspects of the sport, and…
Is anyone really surprised that David Cross is probably highly inappropriate in real life? I mean I dont even like the guy outside of Arrested Development so im not here to defend HIM in particular and I only vaguely know of her but has anyone here ever hung out with a group of stand up comics?
As an athiest, I take exception to your claim that we all have souls. But keep living the dream.
I really, really hope Trump responds. Or dies. Whatever.
If Donald Trump’s was 100 times the man he is now, he still wouldn’t be 1% the man Gregg Popovich is.
So, some were udderly confused?
He’s not a hero because he’s white. He’s a hero because he just used his celebrity platform to speak up for Americans while also dumping a good chunk of his fan base and revenue stream. He told us he hates Trump (easy to do) and he told us he hates all Trump supporters, including his own fans (not so easy). You don’t…
Paltrow & Jolie are from Hollywood families. If Blythe Danner’s daughter and John Voight’s daughter didn’t feel comfortable speaking up for fear of repercussions, what does that tell you about the level of power Harvey Weinstein had over the entertainment industry? I hope this illustrates for people how deep this…
whatever. Plenty of black people have dreadlocks who are not rastafarians. Jeremy Lin is what, in his late 20s early 30s? He has apparently been professionally interacting with black men since at least his first NBA game. Probably been exposed to rap music since childhood or adolescence at minimum. My speculation is…
This old canard again? All the oldest, many thousands of years old, depictions of dreadlocks originate from the Mediterranean, through the Mideast and the Indian subcontinent. There are still extant Hindu and Sufi religious orders that have worn their hair in dreads for thousands of years and still do today.…
This is one of those things I literally don’t care about, not offended by, etc...the history of dreads is literally international. Like, stop. More than that, we do all kinds of shit with our hair doesn’t have anything to do with our history.
