Every officer that was in the building would have been justified to gun down every terrorist they came across. As has been noted many times, and as should continue to be noted every time this event is discussed, if these were predominantly people of color, the casualty count would likely have reached triple

I love[d] John Roderick, perhaps in large part because he’s an asshole...it’s kind of his brand. This shit, though, is troubling.

Police officers who torment black folks and soldiers (or former soldiers) who murder Muslims get their pardons for free from the racist-in-chief. You can be sure he has repeatedly asked DOJ lawyers if he can pardon every police officer who has been convicted of a crime against a black person. Fortunately, he cannot

Nobody wanted anything Snyder before Justice League was released, including the studio executives. It's pure fantasy that Snyder's version of the theatrical release would have been good, and the idea of an extended Snyder cut makes me sick to my stomach.

They’re cops and their primary interest - aside from racking up unnecessary overtime and retiring at 45 - is harassing and locking up minorities, making sure they’re punished even if a judge/jury never convicts them.

Yeah, that’s some serious nonsense, “man.” I don’t want anyone sitting in jail waiting for trial on misdemeanor charges, and that includes Hell’s Angels (seriously?), Proud Boys, and Klan members. 

The guy should do a long term in prison, but he was a refugee from a town that was virtually wiped off the map by a fire. The amount of stress he was experiencing had to be huge. It doesn't excuse murder, and it's doubtful that he wouldn't have murdered a white person under the same circumstances, but I don't think

Papa John redux.

A-fucking-men. Epic’s business model is to bank on the fact that most parents won't blame anybody but their kids for the hundreds of dollars they spend on in-game crap. By the time the parents take the credit card away, Epic has already got theirs and are on to their next victim.

Oh, I agree. My point was that no military action apart from invasion and occupation would weaken the regime, not that invasion and occupation would actually work in the long run.

There is absolutely no military option, short of invasion and long-term occupation, that would weaken Iran’s theocracy. Those of us who considered Bolton a whackjob did so precisely because he believed that attacking Iran was a good idea.

Donald is probably both parent and grandparent to Ivanka's offspring.

It's frankly just an asshole move at this point. If the engine of a remaster isn't scalable, that's on EA.

It was a lot of fun as long as you got into games where people wanted to play rather than exploit. Unfortunately, EA's monetization method made exploits extremely attractive to people.

Word. We’re not all competitive eaters looking to jam the food in our mouths and spit out clean bones. A couple cracks before the first bite and a thigh works just fine.

My best current Taco Bell hack is getting the value menu chicken quesadilla in the app and changing it to steak which I vastly prefer. $1.20 at my Taco Bell.

It’s worse than that. The 33% number represents the potential year’s growth assuming everything goes up at the same rate. In other words, it’s more than a deception, it’s a flat-out lie.

I think the ITS suit is Miles's best look ever. The spider logo as a graffiti tag is amazing.

Hard disagree about Georgiou. Her conflict with Saru seemed rooted in her love for Michael (in part transferred from her relationship with Mirror Michael) and her single-minded determination to find her. I also think she appreciates the Federation more than she lets on.

Well said. Too many story predictions are generated by the cynical, probably because people enjoying a show are content to just let each episode come to them.
