He’s not a real cop, so they’ll throw him under the buss.

To be honest, though, it IS progress that he was suspended without pay immediately. Before, he would have likely been only assigned to desk duty or suspended *with* pay.

As watchers, we will all see the show through our own personal filters. I can see how some might think copaganda. I hope you get a chance to watch it in its entirety, if for no more reason than to soak up Regina King and Yahya Mateen’s amazing work. Peace...

that’s a good idea.  We need more nurses and less police at this point.

You want to drive a GOPer nuts?

“Peformative Pandering” Thank you, this is exactly the description I was having a hard time coming up with!

The Democratic Party!

No doubt they’ll come to an agreement that lowers Kotick’s compensation, at least on paper.

“and typically earn less than 1/3 of 1% of the CEO’s earnings”

Well, AOC just endorsed his opponent in the primary, so will be interesting to see if that translates to actual votes.

By the headline I thought he’d have Drake or some shit on his list...

The candidates have zero power to do anything.
