Actually, she didn’t. Other footage shows her squirming a bit as he tried to cuff her, but that’s about it.

For real, though. It’s like the Oakland PD and San Francisco PD took a look at these guys , saw “lawsuit waiting to happen” and said nope. BART cops are the worst.

Look at the video that Angicat posted above. He pretty much took her head and bounced it off the floor like it was a basketball. This asshole needs to go down.

IIRC, both men and women are required by the Quran to be dressed modestly. That’s why you see many men in the Middle East and Asia wearing long loose shirts with baggy pants

Chock full of 4AD-y goodness!

Thanks for stepping up and explaining your reasons for wearing hijab. I think that it looks beautiful and from perusing Muslima fashion blogs it appears that there are there are endless possibilities in terms of what style of hijab to wear.

The crazy priest who performed my father’s funeral started his homily with, “John __ was a sinner ...”. I was boiling mad. Also, the funeral home put so much make up on him that he looked like a drag queen.

I know someone who was raised Haredim, and she told me that the issue isthat women are considered to be holier than men and untouchable by them. That said, she told me that it’s considered a sin, for lack of a better term, to cause shame and embarrassment to another person. Most rabbis advise that a traveller sits…

Amen sister! I'm an old (47!) but let me tell you, I had so many issues with this when I was a teen and younger woman. Middle-aged men were like some sort of weird hive minded horny attackbeast that just locked in on me at 12 and didn't stop until I turned 42. It's nice to finally be able to walk around living my life…

I mean I'm an oldster but this sure as hell doesn't look "Chola" to me. I went to school with Chicanas and this looks nothing like the classic California chola. Back in the day the Chicana girls wore Ben Davis pants with white T-shirts, Chinese brocade jackets and cloth Mary Jane shoes from Chinatown, black jelly…

I know right? She looks like she's thinking "... fuck me, I'm just waiting for the end of the day so I can pick up my paycheck and go home. Fuck this shit. Fuck all of this shit".

Correction: Hella is hella legit.

My now 8 year old son had the same reaction to the song "Into My Arms" by Nick Cave when he was a wee bebeh. In fact, the evening he was born I could not figure out how to soothe him at the hospital. Desperate, I got the idea to put the song on and he immediately fell into a deep quiet sleep. Nick Cave is a fucking…

IIRC, early (4 - 6 weeks) in the pregnancy the zygote/embryo hasn't fully burrowed into the wall of the uterus and the blood vessels and tissues that will become the placenta and umbilical cord are still in a very early stage of development - the embryo isn't receiving all that much blood from the mother. Make some…

If what black friends and friends of friends are saying is true ( I sure as hell believe them), this is not the only time a black customer has been treated poorly by the staff of the Elmwood Cafe. I believe that the firing of the waitress has more to do with the owner doing a little window dressing & sweeping it under…

Count me in as another person who is not down with wishing rape on someone, no matter how egregious their crime is.

Or watch them deliver a placenta and sew up a torn vagina.

Hmmm...let's see. The fleshy ginger roadie with a few missing teeth who gave me crabs. The failed comedian (not funny at all) who grabbed my hand and rammed one of my fingers up his ass so hard that I could barely use it for a week. The Rajneeshee with a micropenis. I am so not proud.

Yup. Two inch long tear on my taint that went all the way down to the muscle layer. Hurt for about a year after. That's what I get for trying to push something the size of a small turkey out of my vag.

Hey. Mom of a Lego-obsessed autistic son, here. I feel your pain woman, I really do.
