Screams get a job while also not being at a job.

Fun fact: Pro wrestling isn’t real. Except for Donald Trump. Who called Linda McMahon to console her when Vince McMahon was “blown up” in his limo during a WWE show.

I like giving this a specific name, but I’m not sure terrorism is the right one, even with the word intimate in front of it. I know that terrorism is the go to word right now, but it isn’t a one size fits all descriptor.

don’t forget that it’s generally only the gentrified/developed (read: white) areas of cities that have abundant crosswalks, center islands, and single lane/bike lane infrastructure. go to poorer areas and you might be crossing 4 lanes of traffic and hopping a center divide to get to the store/bus stop, because you’re…

and will withhold judgment til I can spend some time researching.

It was more of a “fun fact” comment. I’m for changing to the spiders/anything else. According to wikipedia, the Indians were originally Grand Rapids Rustlers. Definitely on that train.

There is still a baseball history with the team name which would counter the “heritage” debate surrounding the continued use of the racist logo. Also, there is not currently a NL team in Cleveland so it doesn’t really matter.

Before anyone brings up “Well what about the Fighting Irish?”

You left out how scared the officer might have been and how he has a family a home.

Wait, there a people bashing the victim (David Dao) in this? WTF is wrong with people!?

How about the fact that all the David Dao bashing might not even be about the right David Dao?

1. Don’t break the law
2. Search deep into their past about something bad they did.
3. Check their facebook for evidence of smoking weed, having a gun, or making a gun with their fingers.
4. Ask to see earlier footage because this person must have done SOMETHING to deserve this.
5. Talk about every plausible scenario…

The idea that the representatives of the power structure act in a more civilized manner is simply ridiculous to them.

Thank God that the government is there to protect us from ourselves.

We would have also accepted. “Well, we didn’t see the WHOLE video... Let’s wait for the ENTIRE story, including whether this pedestrian committed a crime in the past six years, comes out.”

“Hey, you there! Stop jaywalking right now!” “Why?” “You might get hurt!” “No!” “Ok, I’m going to have to hurt you then.”

Cue the braying apologists who have never had to deal with being targeted by officers....”Well, if you just do what you’re told, none of this happens!”, as if anything less than complete cowering is deserving of whatever the officers feel like dishing out.

People wonder why we have issues with the police, but fail to see that we can get beaten for “illegally” crossing the fucking street. “Beaten” doesn’t even describe half of it—abused, brutalized, criminalized, and dehumanized, with what little sense of security we can scrape together torn from us.
