You're missing the point. It was never about safety for the city. It was always about revenue. Lengthening the yellow is at odds with the fundamental objective. Which is why they should be abolished.

"What was it like, raising these two?"
"It has not been easy." and then later, "I know we have to take responsibility for them."

I'm ROLLING.

She's so embarrassed by those two. That's the glorious part of all this. You can just picture her sitting there watching this, afraid the neighbors are all seeing her children duke…

Dear Moms of All Politicians Everywhere,

Criming while white is also good to keep in mind when racists tout crime statistics about how much blacks break the law. It's easy for that to happen when that's one of the few groups that is arrested and charged to the fullest extent of the law in every single instance.

I get what you're saying. And you likely have some points for Albert to address. But as a white, graduate degree level education, middle class, straight, male, I'm totally cool with my role being to "Shut the fuck up". That's my overall theory on most social topics tho. My "specs" give me such an unbelievable…

As a woman, I value the opinions of many men on the female experience. But not all. Only the smart, informed, progressive men who know when to speak, when to listen and when to shut up.

check the rate of grand jury indictments on police officers who have killed people period, let alone black people.

If you're a white person who doesn't brutalize people of color, maybe just bask in that knowledge of your goodness and quit playing the fucking martyr and trying to make it All About You when p.o.c. are hurting.

It's what the american justice system was designed to do from the ground up, I'm afraid. In vast swathes of this country, the purpose of breaking ground on a police station was so there would be armed men capable of hunting down and killing black people who did not submit totally to white rule. Any enforcement of law…

LOOOOOOOOOOOOL! "Convenient" how you have to go all the way back to 1994 to find a case where a black guy was acquitted!

"Waaaah waaaah, I don't want these objects of my entertainment expressing their political beliefs like human beings, that makes it harder for me to divorce myself from my reaction to their late-life CTE!"

Get a life, dude. Since Owens in '36 (and perhaps all the way back to the original, OG Ancient Greek Olympics)…

"I don't have any interest in politics infecting my Sunday afternoons."

Did you even watch the Rams game, and, if so, did a few players raising their hands while taking the field leave you feeling like someone had injected politics into your Sunday?

Barkley is awesome and usually right.

let's dumb down your "good cop theory"

I respect and appreciate your perspective. Here is mine....

I love how you say 95% of cops are good, honorable people, but then you say how they stick up for the bad ones, that's not honorable at all. To me, that's what makes most cops bad, the shit they do to protect their brothers in blue.

There was this one random guy on the internet who decided that he had a juvi record including second degree murder that was sealed away. Except, you know, he didn't. They proved that.

they are spouting nonsense I have never even heard before. "He was in a gang! He had a long rap sheet! He was involved in a second degree murder case"

People are only criminals after they get their day in court and it's decided by a jury of their peers. Unfortunately, we'll never have that decision one way or another. So for the rest of history, he isn't "this criminal", he's just "a suspect who was killed by police".
