The fact that these cops are taking it personally is kind of a reflection of the whole tribalism problem that causes the racist policing in the first place.

These cops are acting like police is a religion, or they’re all family, a brotherhood. It’s not. It’s a job. A job that almost a million people have in the US.…

I don’t recall ever seeing Pam Beesley eating.

It ties it in to the still-ongoing problem of seeing black people just for their bodies and not as actual humans.

Many areas have few sports bar choices.

Seattle fans know they’re not actually part of the team, right?

Yeah, i wouldn’t have any idea how to join a union if it wasn’t already set up at a job i was taking. Nor any idea how to organize a workplace to unionize.

Isn’t there supposed to be a difference between a trigger “warning” and a trigger “excuse”? Like...a trigger warning is just supposed to prepare you to read disturbing content, or allow you to avoid it if it’s optional, like when reading a blog on the internet for personal entertainment.
