I figured this out a long time ago when I tried to get on the LAPD. Its a certain type of shitty person that law enforcement attracts, much like car sales. You can see it in the demeanor of the people that are officers. And its universal, be it Black, Hispanic, Asian, male, female. The weird part about it? There’s…

There are no good cops. Period. The truly good ones get disappointed in the way things are and leave. Now with how low the hiring standards are it’s going to get a lot worse. The entire system needs to be (figuratively) blown up and started over. From the police to the DA to the judges. All of them are on the same…

One of the worst things about LEO (after all the unjustified killing and maiming), is when confronted with incontrovertible proof that the police were wrong they (or one of their bootlickers in the greys) will fall back on:

Even an ostensibly “good cop” is a member of a systemically corrupt and discriminatory institution. One that exists primarily to enforce a corrupt and inherently white supremacist power structure.

15 years as a cop. It took me 15 years to figure out what Michael says is true. You cannot be a good and honest person and still be a cop because you will be hounded out of the job. You will be left without back up because you cannot be “trusted”. You will be branded a “rat” for trying to do the right thing. I left…

every day i interact with a myriad of law enforcement officials. they are polite, genuine, acquiescent, and a bunch of other things that make most a pleasure to work with.

I know he’s a cultural myth based off of pagan symbolism colliding with Christian imagery and imperialist domination of local holidays, but dammit in my household Florida Man will always be white!

protect and serve.

That young man’s face after they stood him back up again will haunt me for a long time.

There has already been push back from the players and some owners. The Owner of The Jets, who’s brother ironically is Trump’s ambassador to the UK, has said that he will personally pay any fine that a player incurs. Also Jed York of The 49ers didn’t vote as he said the players needed to be included. Trust me Trump is…

I agree with all that you so aptly stated, indeed. Also, I suggest we change our national anthem to “America the Beautiful” (with most-fine lyrics by Katharine Lee Bates) as it’s truly a “song-about-America”.

The NFL lost me a long time ago. I used to know what a catch was, then Calvin Johnson got jobbed. Once Junior Seau committed suicide and the NFL tried to squash that PBS Frontline piece about head trauma, I was done all the way. The NBA gives me everything I need in the way of sports. Players can show joy, the game…

I’m really feeling the Wakanda salute idea

I’ll be joining you for football-free NFL days whether Sunday, Monday, Thursday or any other day. I hope no player takes the field during their anthem. Let their absence speak volumes.

Exactly. FWIW I think this is a troll article, but Obama should not be front and center for the reason you state. AND because the Dems need to stop being lazy and find/create new exciting leadership. They can’t use Obama as a crutch forever.

ABANDON HIS PUBLIC?

Leading the opposition to Trump and his policies is the last thing Obama should be doing.

It would appear that Obama must continue to play the “Magical Negro” role until white liberals are satisfied with his overall performance.

He only had the most stressful job in the fucking world for eight fucking years. He’s a fucking private fucking citizen and can do whatever the fuck he wants.
