His sense of duty does not negate the doctor’s Hippocratic oath.

Easier said than done. Many TV and film productions rely on the cooperation of local police forces (esp. for additional security). PDs also closely guard the use of their logos and name so access to these are not easy, and often a review of the material is part of the red tape. “You want to make a film/show that’s crit…

So...spitting in someone’s food is morally superior to writing someone a parking ticket? Okay then.

Forgiveness as an act of love won’t stop them from hating and/or killing us. Why don’t we save those acts of love for people who actually deserve it. Dylan Roof is pure evil, he’s unfazed by forgiveness -- he neither wants it nor needs it. 

Lord forbid this woman raise her voice in a highly emotional situation in which her life was threatened and the people sworn to serve and protect her treat her with hostility from the jump.

Shut the fuck up.

“Major production delays”...what does that even mean? I wonder if she has any other touring plans for this latest album.

Spanking a child is never necessary. Hitting your kid just demonstrates that you lack control over your anger and over their behavior. Do better.

Fuck anyone who supports “spankings”. Violence is violence. You don’t put your hand on your child to “teach them a lesson” because the only lesson they are learning is that you can’t control your anger and that violence is a reasonable reaction to anger and frustration. Then they grow up to become this asshole. 

There was another think piece on The Root by a black writer who “wasn’t born black” (paraphrase) because she ate kale and liked to go hiking or skiing or something. It felt like weird humble-bragging and I wasn’t here for it..

A man telling a woman how to react. Classic.

A fool and their money are soon parted, and the Grays perform in front of a congregation full of fools. Black prosperity megachurches made me abandon religion altogether.

Lots of “I’m not defending him, but...” and “I believe women, but...” going on around here. 

They are the poster boy for “bad police behaviour”

Why does Chicago get dragged into everything? Chicago PD is terrible, yes, but clearly police-on-civilian violence is happened all over the fucking country, and Chicago isn’t even the worst of it. Chicago got dragged into the headlines because Obama detractors wanted to associate Chicago violence with the first black…

Oh gawd, look at her face!! What a precious little sweetie *swoons*

Except the chief of police and the mayor were blindsided by the states attorney’s decision here, so they don’t seem to be working in concert.

Joe Biden is 76. In the immortal meme of Michael Jordan;“Fuck them kids.”

White Shimmy seems all cute and fluffy now, but is definitely the type who will leave his black frat days behind for a corporate job (his daddy’s got the hook up, no doubt), a mini-mansion in the ‘burbs and a wife named Katie.

Yes! Give ‘em hell ACLU :) I’ve longed given up on Democratic politicians working to ensure that residents of this country maintain civil rights and power. They’ve sold out decades ago. But organizations like ACLU give me hope that someone with power is working for the greater good.
