I ‘like’ how quick and decisive their punishment was. Too bad they can only mete it out to women speaking out against trans hate, and not the officers who rape, abuse their power and use unnecessary force.

It’s an older gent too from the looks of it. Yet another case of the older generation not realizing their own faults and getting upset when called out on them.

i’ve never reacted like that when my feelings were hurt...LET ALONE IN A PROFESSIONAL SETTING.

I think the male officer is just trying to say “My wife and close friends and family do not have police brutality problems, so why would trans people?”

I’m guessing we’re missing a bit of context in the video, maybe an adjacently-related statement was made prior to the outburst or something. I cannot imagine that a man who reacts that way even sees trans or non-gender-conforming identities as valid, and he was probably just *boiling over* with having to bottle up…

“My wife” must be some sort of comprehensive news service that beams statistical information directly into his brain. Or he’s a bloviating narcissist who doesn’t know how words work. One of the two.

The problem here is one of using language to achieve the intended goal of understanding, rather than spark debate. Both the officer’s question and the Captain’s answer were inartful. His poorly worded question clearly implied that he doesn’t even understand how a statistic about oppression is derived and interpreted,…

I’m confused - is the wife of the questioning officer trans? If not, then what’s his point? “Trans people are subjected to police violence” - “well, my wife has never mentioned it to me”. Which, if she is, then it seems odd he would be “questioning” the state in a WMP way?

Oh my God I have NEVER raised my voice like that when my fee-fees were hurt what the fuck??? Like, you are that reactive and explosive and you’re IN THE POLICE FORCE? (I realize these are just rhetorical questions but it’s all I can do to get my visceral reaction out)

I feel for Weber and I’m extremely worried this is…

Who knew cops were so easily... triggered?

McAvoy better known as Professor FleX.

He did a Bezos:

James McAvoy has gone from gentle, tiny Scotsman who stars in period dramas to hugely buff action man seemingly overnight and I am surprised.

Y’all are late for the McAvoy thirst, I’ve been enjoying his looks, accent, and humor since the movie Wanted.

I don’t know Seder’s politics, but MSNBC has been purging progressives for the last two years and replacing them with moderates. If Seder leans left, I’m guessing they are just using this as an excuse to get rid of him.

Sam Seder is primarily a comedian. A good part of satire is pointing out hypocrisy with absurdity and his tweet did that.

Why bother changing his name. If 71% of republicans in Alabama would vot a child rapist into office, some woman will marry him, he will get a job, and all will be awesome for him in the fucked up world no matter what.

Families like that piss me off. There was a rape case here in Chicagoland over a decade ago, despite the crime being on video and some of the defendants skipping the country for several years, they were acquitted. After all of the the father of one of the defendants wrote a book about how mistreated his son was. The…

Yeah that has to be it. His awful family has built his confidence back up to where he feels he deserves a future again. It’s funny how none of this sounds like remorse yet...

A 172-page brief? After the time had been served? Well. Shelling out $200k (an educated guess) to clear a criminal record suggests at the very least that his sentencing statement of remorse wasn’t exactly heart-felt.
