Yeah, I totally meant that writing articles was worse than murder. The point of my comment is that these articles do nothing but rile people up and perpetuate anger, and this one in particular is just plain apathetic.

Everytime someone writes another article about how the entire country is racist, whites are privileged, and "the system" is Fascist, it gives another young black man a reason to believe that he can't succeed in this country, and an entire race of people to blame for it. If you care about helping black people then why…
Yet, here's why this type of narrative is dangerous. You're taking a handful of instances in a 20 year time frame and making it sound like an epidemic. Are there bad, racist cops? Yes. Are there people in the system who don't necessarily work towards justice? Yes.

First, you do not feel for the players. You pay lip service to the statement and then completely eviscerate it by calling them selfish and stupid for not caring more about the research component of a university than the part of the university they have been directly involved with.

That's some crack reporting there.
Looks like he was playing the Browns this week, too.
Somebody called an end around, I see.
I've wanted jury duty for pretty much my entire life. I've only been called once (I'm in my 30s), and I was SO STOKED when I got the letter. Then I called the courthouse the night before only to learn that the case had been dismissed. BOO! Although I've been told that people in my profession are routinely dismissed…
Oh I misunderstood. I thought he was on trial.
That's where you're going to draw the line on the grammatical correctness of Dockett's tweets?
Appraently not. You got called up to the big leagues, rook.
Just doing research for his upcoming legal procedural/sitcom "On the Dockett"
As a lawyer, I'm always pretty jealous when people get assigned to juries. Lawyers are typically the only people who are really interested in what goes on "behind the scenes" and we almost always get excused!
"Do you play in the NFL?"
Update, 5:30 p.m.: It's come to our attention that the photo of a courtroom that Dockett tweeted is actually an old…
