how do you die by gun without it being gun violence?

No we ran out.

How the hell do you see a ‘wide nose’ in a moving vehicle?

Yeah, I’ve seen that too. It’s sick. Same with the reports of how many traffic stops he's had (versus taking it as clear evidence of DWB). I think now more than ever we should challenge people when they say this shit.

Sadly, I’ve been seeing that interpreted on social media as “he was wanted by the police for robbery” and therefore was justified in shooting him. So much there will make your head explode (holy misinterpretation, Batman; even if it were accurate, is execution the penalty for robbery? I feel like that might be a…

As a mom i identified with the mother as soon as i saw the video. I know that calm. I was pulled over by a police officer who did not want to let me go. He kept coming back to my car asking more questions. I did not have nor was i on any drugs or alcohol. License, reg, insurance in check. I even had a gold card from…

To me, her “calmness” was very similar to the way a horse trainer speaks to a spooked and dangerous animal. She couldn’t risk setting Officer Triggerhappy off on herself or her daughter.

Yeah, I almost went off on a friend-of-a-friend comment that called her reaction “psychotic” because she was so calm. Of course, I’m 99% sure if she had been hysterical, they would have seen this as evidence that the officer was right to feel threatened.

It doesn’t matter what she would have done. If she had been hysterical they would have said she was putting on a show for the cameras.

When you’ve got a preconceived notion of how something is supposed to play out, suddenly everything looks ‘fishy’.

It’s highly unsurprising that they win. Most voters, even fairly well informed ones, know absolutely nothing about who anyone is on that part of the ballot and it’s hard to find good info on them before you go vote. Most people are not going to vote for someone to lose their job and if they don’t know anything about…

So, anger management classes because they don’t have “basic human empathy” classes?

She’s also a Scientologist which means she is great at ignoring things she doesn’t want to see.

It’s too easy to forget about these things when there are literally half a dozen things just as awful and enraging happening every single day.

“You think you’re going to have anxiety now? You haven’t even seen anxiety.”

You think you’re going to have remorse now? You haven’t even seen remorse. <— would have liked this said to her during her sanctions hearings.

It’s probably the “sorry I got caught” type of remorse.

It’s never too late for remorse. It just doesn’t mean she shouldn’t suffer the consequences of her actions.

Collins said in court papers she’s now remorseful for her actions.

Good. I work in DV advocacy. DV is already way under-reported.

Holy hell. I can’t imagine this woman getting to stand in judgement over others.
