No, not really. It pretty much gets to that point immediately. They get him out of the car, of note the female officer who does the shooting isn’t even the forward/active cop. If you recall the SC video, where the young racist cop who said something like, “Hope you ready to ride the lightning boy,” she is in that…

Video is out and the story is he confused his gun and his taser, the female officer with him even says, “Taser,” and then he shoots the young man, and she says, “You shot him!” It sounds to me like he then says, “Oh well,” or, “Oh hell.”

Body cam is out; there’s a female officer who clearly says, “Taser,” and then the cop uses his gun and she says, “You shot him!” It then /sounds/ as if the shooting officer says, “Oh well,” or, “Oh hell.” The chief of said officer is saying he appears to have USED THE WRONG WEAPON, BY ACCIDENT.

I can understand and empathize.  Get them to also watch Netflix’ TWO DISTANT STRANGERS, it’s a 35 min short film, Oscar nominated for 2021, and it deals with the same, but very tight and specific to police and black males violence.  It’s also not full of that sense of almost VR verisimilitude so it may be much easier…

Me too man. I fucking hate country music, Trump loving motherfuckers. I’m so sick of these people, in the 70+ mil. We need non-white women in charge with a few token white women, who prove they’ve never voted GOP. But especially men need to NOT be in fucking charge anymore because our society is the result of men in…

Yeah, they should charge these cops with a federal hate crime, harassment and assault of an African American due to racial prejudice.

For those on the fence, I’m several episodes in, with my white 67yo father, and we find it hard to watch, but necessary, and entertaining as hell. This is almost a brand new kind of ‘genre’ for horror, let’s call it ‘lived horror’. The striking thing the whole time you’re watching is that NONE of this (save the…

Not on the topic, but I can’t find anywhere on the Root or subs about Amazon’s “THEM.” This series is fucking spectacular so far - and I can’t BELIEVE nobody here is writing about it! It’s LITERALLY the most necessary television! It is a ‘horror-suspense’ series that makes you basically live (so, understandable some…

It was the worst of times, now the best of times.  We’ve got SO MUCH in savings, now we reap the whirlwind of interest.

You’re Justified, Raylan Givens; sharing is having a bite or two (pushing it, but fair) of someone else’s dish or ‘sharing’ 1 or 2 of yours, usually it should be mutual, but this isn’t firm, nor is one-way-sharing taboo. When it comes to dessert, especially a place nice enough to have creme brulee, which is kinda posh…

Wow, are you single? Lol, I am not of a socioeconomic status that I could just pop for airfare and overnight hotel stay (almost has to be spur-of-moment or a few days before, a week at most, so those would be that much MORE expensive airfare and hotel tix...) for a date. Like I said, girl/boy-friend, yeah, sure, but…

on the throne...and even in the throes of passion (yes, I answered)

It’s just locker room stuff, you know, whites will be whites.

The simple, obvious fact is that January 6th should be grouped in history right alongside Tulsa, Greensboro, Orangeburg, Catcher, Ponce, Ocoee, Rosewood...

HEY!  He is Bill White, middle-aged opinion-haver.  You’ll recognize his authoritah, or he’ll burn a cross on your lawn.

On Melania, I believe, myself, that is absolutely sugar daddy/dating, and I suspect she has a rock-solid contract detailing the terms of that marriage, without any doubt. I bet there are even terms specific to when she could actually file for divorce, get added incentives, etc.

Oh you need to watch it; the final spoiler is magnificent. That all these super-smaht barely literate racist white folks have been living for and by the lunatic ramblings of a megalomaniacal colored/minority person with the maturity of a 15 year old boy, enabled by their deluded, megalomaniacal, Adolph-and-Reich…

This. Everyone keeps saying, “But this is just what Trump did,” and, sure, but for the fact that Trump was in the office of President and had all the legal and smoky room patriarchal power that comes along with it, most importantly the whole ‘can’t investigate/can’t indict’ bullshit. Mutt Giggz can’t muster anything…

First, I have never, ever paid for sex. And second, I, as an adult man, have not slept with a 17-year-old.
