If nothing else, the South gives cover for the rest of the nation to ignore their own shit, so there’s that.

Well, if we got rid of the dumpster fire, the US gov’t would be even more white because folks in the north certainly do not seem to like electing Black people to Congress.

Yes Queen! I was going to cite the case law I had to study when getting that good Masters in Education back in 2015 but you succinctly stated everything necessary. (Doesn’t every school teaching education require this? Or is this just for comprehensive HBCU’s that are thorough in their preparation?) As a teacher, we…

Yeah, I think Stephen has him dead to rights on this coinciding with midterm elections. Guess Mr. Ken Paxton -

Came here to say this. These assholes *know* they’re going to lose, waste taxpayer money in the meantime, and showboat their way to re-election.

Too bad the TX Attorney General is unfamiliar with the law, then?

“School children cannot unilaterally refuse to participate in the pledge,”

Catholics too.

Proving the point that you and your ilk would rather have a Justice that rules based upon their beliefs rather than based on the merits of a case in relation to the Constitution.

And oral, and just the tip, don’t ya know?  It’s the evangelical way!

Funny, I bet he thinks anal still makes him a virgin.

“A lifetime of scars.”  Really.  Cops don’t realize that they give people legit PTSD.  Handcuffs, detainment, guns drawn, etc., is more than enough to lose a person’s trust forever.  None of these people get therapy.  This is permanent damage to the person and the community, but we never address that.

Goddamn.

If there was a black couple (there wasn’t but lets play). The only version i can imagine is the ones that go to the white church on purpose because they feel ‘It’s better suited to their religious needs’. Basically the rich ones who forgot where they came from.

See right there, that is my issue, number 4 was jumped to right away WITHOUT really questioning the parties involved to determine if the accusation is even true. This should have been a simple, “Ladies, please step over here”, then out of earshot, ask both women, are you being kidnapped or subject to “undo influence”,…

Six minutes of unnecessary detainment. A lifetime of scars. If you aren’t safe riding fucking home, in the fucking BACK seat of your Grandma’s car from fucking CHURCH, you ain’t safe to do shit.

If there was even a couple at all. I’m leaning toward the idea that the way it transpired was this:

How does “going through the specifics” not involve apprehending the suspects and questioning them? Was it not just in May of this year in Chicago that a woman was beaten by four other women who were not identified by the victim and it was all over the news because the police were desperately LOOKING FOR the suspects…
